Weekend Trip to The Art Farm

We had a nice time at Laura’s. Kindly showed us where everything was, was very respectful and we felt very safe there. The cats were adorable too!

1 night at The Art Farm

Even if you stay just one night to break up travel (as I did), I highly recommend the Art Farm. The spaciousness of the camp was a delight. I arrived at the property around 9 pm, and Laura graciously showed me a secluded site towards the back of the tract. The nearest camper was far away, and though it was mid-November when I stayed, I could still envision seclusion in a busier season. The land was well-maintained, and Laura offers a variety of camping spots. Paducah was also well worth seeing- a lovely town right along the Ohio River with several cool spots! I’ll be back!

I loved camping on Laura's land! Porta-potty, shower, and hot tub are all near the site. It looks quiet, and the view across the field was lovely!

Glamping Tent Platform (seen here without tent) tucked into the edge of the Meditation Woods. Privacy. Serenity. Peace.

Weekend Trip to The Art Farm

This was a perfect primitive camp for us! The area had plenty of privacy with a beautiful scenery. Early mornings, next to the woods gave a good spot to drink some coffee and watch the wildlife. Easily accessible, and not far from town if you needed to make a quick trip. Communication with Laura was friendly, quick and easy. Definitely saving this spot for our next trip in the area:)

We absolutely loved our time at Cassie’s special pavilion! It was perfect for us as we have family in the area. BUT, even if we were just passing through…it was an awesome spot with everything we needed! It was peaceful, and semi private. We loved sitting outside in the morning drinking our coffee and enjoying the quiet time. It’s close to many handy things as well. CVS, a grocery store, dollar store, Macdonald’s were all very close. I found a laundromat in town that was very clean and reasonably priced also. Cassie and Brian were great hosts and very responsive. Will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

3 nights at The Art Farm

Loved staying here! I spent a total of four days in the woods and it was the perfect spot to stay in the evening. I especially loved that the tent area was shaded while the camping pit was just a few feet away under the open sky. I didn’t have a hammock with me, but wished that I did because there were so many great spots to hang it. Having the shower was a blessing as well. It was great to be able to start the morning with a hot rinse.

Weekend Trip to Grand Chain Vineyards

I had plans for an overnight stay here and was REALLY looking forward to it. On the day we were to drive from AL to the site, our running lights went out. Couldn't drive at night without the lights. Had to cancel our stay and stop at dusk elsewhere. We determined the 7-prong plug on the camper was bad. Bought a new one and installed it the next morning. The owners of the vineyard were very understanding. I can't say enough about how easy they were to work with from the initial reservation to our cancellation. They responded to questions, answering their phone quickly or responding quickly by email. I hope to go there next year! This will be a great place for you to pick!

A truly beautiful location on a privately owned farm. My site was private, clean and comfortable. As a veteran HipCamper, I've come to realize that you're going to have some road noise if you're anywhere close to your travel route. This was no exception, but completely manageable and I was very happy to stay here twice; once in each direction of my journey.

With well-maintained restroom facilities, picnic tables, grills, and a convenient dump station, visitors can enjoy a hassle-free camping experience while immersing themselves in nature. The history of the area dates back to 1904 when the Main brothers established their box factory, originally named Oaktown, which later became known as Karnak in 1913. The village's name, meaning "land of milk and honey," reflects its rich resources. Gus Bartleson and his sons from Grand Chain, IL, owned vast timberlands in the Karnak region, selling thousands of acres of farmland and White Tupelo timber. This timber was essential in producing wood containers and boxes, which played a significant role in the village's development. The Main brothers initially manufactured fruit jar containers and later expanded into producing White Tupelo egg cases. As competition grew, particularly with the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, the Main brothers adapted their business to include wire-bound boxes and crates. At its peak, the Main Brothers Box and Lumber Company employed over 250 individuals and even constructed a two-story hotel to accommodate transient workers and visitors
