Cave City, KY · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
This ecological art project is currently recruiting visitors to camp in beautiful fields, on woodland rim sites, or at delicate campsites located along a system of woodland trails. As of 2026, camping here provides a glimpse into the 5th year of succession, which is characterized by spacious views of a gently rolling young prairie that is flanked by the rocky and steep slopes of a mature forest.
Pet friendly and most likely a good fit for self-sufficient types that like campsites with generous spacing, but still want to get out to the park quickly (~7 miles to the Visitors Center) or travel into Cave City (3 mi) for coffee/ice-cream/pizza/barbecue/bar/food/etc. Expand from the campsite into a sketch-work of trails, as if camping near the headquarters of a satellite nature reserve.
All sites except Spicebush have a filtered water output. Spicebush campers will have water access next to parking.
Camping funds allow us to plant trees (~530 seedlings as of March 2026), establish prairie grasses and flowers, restore wetlands, create trails, and remove invasive species.
A nice way to experience Mammoth Cave NP is to break the trip into 3 layers, covering the underworld (cave tours), upper world (hiking), and the water that connects the two (Green River). Mammoth Cave is unique in the way that a study of the underworld will repeatedly draw the mind into a creative space where we imagine what is beneath the surface and how these worlds are linked, while above ground hiking on land or kayaking on the ecologically rich and biodiverse Green River. Kayaking the Green is elemental; like unplugging from one world, pure nature immersion. We offer kayaks (see extras), that leave from camp, tailored to your schedule.
Thanks to our visitors for supporting this type of project!
Most commonly booked extras:
1. Dried and split firewood bundles, usually a mix of oak with a suggested donation of $6/bundle, delivered to the campsite.
2. Kayaks on a suggested donation basis ($45) providing a flexible option for visitors to float the Green River through the NP.
3. Pending availability, we are happy to pitch a tent (REI 4 person Half Dome plus 2 sleeping pads) for those who want to camp but are not traveling with gear.

Until 2019, this farm was in the same family since 1889. It has been a working farm since that time. In 2019, our family purchased the farm and continue to operate it much the same way. Our family is devoted to history and preserving the essence of the past. You may very well see us pull up in one of our antique cars to greet you! Our neighbors are friendly and many are also small farmers. You can't see their farms from camp, but don't be surprised to hear roosters crowing, cattle mooing, and donkeys braying in the distance. Our farm is surrounded by the Hoosier National Forest, so you'll see and hear plenty of wildlife too. At various times during the summer, you may find wild blackberries, elderberries, and black raspberries growing right in camp!

TWO SPOTS TO CHOOSE FROM……
The camping spot we refer to as the NORTHSIDE SPOT is a flat yard atop a hill it makes for a great spot to park your RV, camper, tent or boat. This grass camping spot is always mowed and clean. Two large pine trees provide some shade for this northside camping spot. You can enjoy nearly panoramic views of the night sky! This spot is alongside a country road. It is considered less private than the SOUTH SIDE SPOT.
The SOUTH SIDE CAMPING SPOT, is for tent campers only with a smaller vehicle. It is very private and completely surrounded by woods. This spot can accommodate two tents and one or two cars. There is no view of the night sky since you are in a dense forest.
Patoka lake is less than 10 minutes away ( boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, biking).

Blue Horse is a hidden gem! Quiet, relaxing, and unfussy while still having everything you need for a wonderful camping experience! Firepit, grill, outhouse, tent platform, covered cooking area, and there’s even kayaks and a canoe, with paddles and life-jackets provided. The stretch of the Little Blue River that the camp is on is calm and easy and a small dock allows for boat put-in. Lots of hiking and outdoor options abound nearby. Perfect choice in the i64 corridor/Hoosier National Forest area. Angie and Paige are fantastic hosts, you can’t go wrong!

Weekend Trip to Camp Escape
Staying at this site was truly one of the most if not THE most relaxing bnb experiences I’ve had. I thought it would be a bit further back on the property but it is still just perfect. Everything was so cozy, the temperature control inside is perfect and that porch is to die for!! The couch and bed inside too is so comfy. You can tell the work this couple put into the renovations and upkeep here to keep it gorgeous and serene. The price nightly couldn’t be better either so this will definitely be my go to stay when I come out to Louisville! It’s about 30 minutes from most things so it was just the perfect “outside the city” stay❤️

We had such a great time staying at the cliffhanger spot! We were nestled in between a cliff and a waterfall! Although it was raining the entire first day we were there, our campsite stayed completely dry and cool. We were in walking distance from the beautiful and clean men and women’s restrooms. Being able to take a hot shower was so nice! It was a little difficult to find the main house but Chuck and Van were able to give us specific directions! I do recommend letting Chuck and Van know if your car is four wheel drive. Overall I give the campsite a 9.5/10 only because our car was two wheel drive and the ground was very wet lol

I honestly am hesitant to leave a review because I don't want the world to know about this slice of paradise. The land was so beautiful, you can tell Kevin and his family have poured their hearts into making this someplace special. Not only did I feel safe but I felt like if I needed anything, Kevin would have been happy to help. Whether you want to enjoy a secluded trip in the forest, or hang with Kevin and his puppies, you'll find it all here.
Apart from the site, one of my highlights on this ENTIRE trip was just sitting on the porch chatting with Kevin about the birds, plants, and life. It was genuinely a reinvigorating and healing experience. Thank you Kevin for sharing your world!

Lovely piece of land away from it all but super reasonable driving distance to Louisville area. Being aware of the hike to the campsite by the river we brought a wagon that was very helpful in shuttling our items. We hammock camp and there were many options for good trees for hanging near the campsite. Saw our first fireflies of the season and heard many birds and an owl! Lovely time, thank you Ken!
