When you want to get away to nature, what do you envision? We're a family that loves to camp; and while we love a stop at a KOA or community campground, we sometimes crave quiet time in nature without the noise and distraction of other campers.
That's what makes The LAAAAND so special. The property is comprised of 50 pristine acres, with a mix of fields and woods, that bump up against another 250 acres owned by our family friends. The southern perimeter of the property is all cliff line, so you feel truly remote. The possibilities of sound pollution are limited to a far-off dog barking, horses being ridden down a nearby trail, or the possible hum of a distant lumber yard. Other than that, you'll mostly hear the wind rustling trees, deer and critters making their way through the woods, and possibly a waterfall at certain times of the year. Oh, and you will absolutely hear whipoorwhills, most likely at a time you'd rather not (we've decided they're charming).
Over the nearly 2 decades we've owned this property we have spent countless weekends enjoying the simplest of pleasures; watching butterflies dance in the tree canopy, having dance parties at sunset on the deck, forging new trails and hiking into the unkown, sitting in the truck bed late at night gazing at a star-covered sky counting shooting stars.
If you are looking for a space and place to reset and reconnect, The LAAAAND is waiting for you.
(***Please note, we leave our personal camper on the property for the camping season, so you will see it when you arrive to the right of the campsite***)

Eco Transforming A-Frame Cabin Near Cave Run Lake & Red River Gorge
Experience a unique off-grid micro A-frame camping cabin designed for nature lovers, hikers, and eco-conscious travelers. Located just minutes from Cave Run Lake and a scenic drive from Red River Gorge, Trace Space KY offers a peaceful basecamp to explore eastern Kentucky while treading lightly on the land.
The property is proudly certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat and recognized as a Certified Garden and Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch. Native plant gardens, pollinator habitats, and wildlife-friendly landscaping support butterflies, birds, and local ecosystems. Guests can enjoy a stay that prioritizes sustainability and respect for nature. Intentionally building dead hedges, leaving hollow stems, stumps, and wood piles creates vital habitat for native bees, pollinators, and wildlife. It's not a manicured yard, it's designed to support diversity, and, too, we are designing foodscapes. Always a work in progress. When available and in season, guests can pick their own fruit and/or herbs.
This 80 sq. ft. A-frame embraces a minimal footprint and off-grid mindset, encouraging guests to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with the outdoors.
Adventure is close by:
• 3 miles to Long Bow Boat Dock on Cave Run Lake
• 10 minutes to the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail
• 18 miles to Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest
Within a 20-minute drive, short hikes lead to natural arches, scenic overlooks, a cave, a state fish hatchery, and a beautiful 60-foot waterfall in a small canyon.
Whether you’re kayaking, hiking, birdwatching, or simply relaxing among native gardens and wildlife habitat, Trace Space KY invites you to slow down and Embrace Nature’s Pace. 🌿🦋🌲

Learn more about this land:
Come stay at Middle Fork Camp: two acres of grass and eleven acres of wooded hillside overlooking a valley meadow in the Daniel Boone National Forest region. Just forty minutes from the Red River Gorge and past homesite of pioneer settlers, the property features an outdoor kitchen, potable spring water, an outdoor shower, WiFi, and 110V and RV-type electric outlets. There is a yoga deck, picnic table, and wood benches with stone ring fireplaces for your use. Help yourself to vegetables from the veggie patch in season!
There are ample hiking and trail running opportunities from the site, starting right behind the (private) A-frame cabin, up and over the limestone cliffs or out the gravel road. I have established hiking/running trail loops to scenic points ranging from 1 - 15 miles in length and will be happy to provide detailed information, including GPS tracks upon request. Enjoy!
Note: Camp Middle Fork is a true nature area: in season there are ticks, you may see a snake, and common to this region, there is poison ivy in the woods. If you are sensitive, dress accordingly.

Our lodging features treehouses, yurts, a bunkhouse, retro camper, water/electric hook-ups, and campsites. We also host weddings, retreats, and other events so advance reservations are required.
For insurance purposes and the safety of our own livestock and pets, we do not allow guests to bring their pets/ESAs onto the property. Prepare to UNPLUG as we do not have cell service or wifi (there IS a landline for guests to make phone calls located in the Community Farmhouse).
All guests from tent to treehouse have access to our solar-powered Community Farmhouse featuring a fully-stocked chef-inspired kitchen, restrooms, coin-op laundry, and upstairs multi-purpose room with a library and board games. There is also an outdoor kitchen area with additional cooking space including a grill, microwave, and sink (sink is closed in the winter so the pipes don’t freeze). Next to the Farmhouse is a massive pavilion with picnic tables for al fresco dining and firewood bundles to purchase. BRING CASH!
Our seasonal bath house is generally open from April or May to October or November based on the prevailing temps. There are 4 flush toilets, 2 sinks, and 2 hot showers. The floors are concrete so we recommend shower shoes and you'll want to bring your own towels and shampoo/soap.
The farm has a small playground, yard games, creeks, and a steep and rugged hiking trail that loops the mountain. We're also just 8 miles from the hiking trails at the Berea College Pinnacles, 8 miles to Owsley Fork Reservoir, 20 minutes to Anglin Falls, 12 miles to Berea, 35 minutes to Richmond, Ky, and a scenic hour to Red River Gorge.

Our property, Plantasia, is thirty-five acres of hardwood forest, lined with limestone boulders and sandstone cliffs, the occasional old growth tree, and mineral springs pouring out pure delicious water. The rest of the property is an old Appalachian homestead, featuring organic gardens and orchards, two farm cats and one farm dog, bee hives, and a flock of domestic ducks. The stewards are Phil, Sacha, four year-old Aurora, and baby Arthur. We are particularly keen to welcoming other families and/or folks who live in relative sobriety.
The springs feed into creeks which criss-cross the wildflower meadow, creating spaces to splash and explore with the minnows, crawdads, frogs, snakes, and whoever else you might find. To the interest of fossil hunters and rock hounds, the creeks are packed with geodes, agates, coral, and relics of an age when Plantasia was the ocean floor (~250 million years ago).
Plantasia is also a short drive from Berea, the folk art capital of Kentucky, which features plenty of local shops and restaurants, as well as some beautiful trails on the outskirts of town (Brushy Fork for a relaxing stroll, or pick your trail at the Pinnacles for a big majestic hike). As well, Owsley Fork Reservoir, 15 minutes away, functions as a gorgeous mountain lake to fish, kayak, or canoe.

Due to the sharp entrance from the road to the driveway, we CANNOT accept rigs over 34' long. We cannot accept 5th wheels (due to height) because of some lower hanging tree branches along the driveway. WE DO NOT ACCEPT LONG TERM STAYS!
This land has previously been a tobacco farm, a hay farm, and is now home to a few beef cattle. We have blazed trails through the woods for hiking, created campsites with fire rings, farmed hay, and grown various vegetables for self-consumption. We love the proximity of the farm to town, yet the seclusion we feel when we are on the farm.

The tent camping on top of the hill was absolutely perfect! Loved the views waking up every morning and the gentle mooing from the cows. Natalie and her husband supplied me with more than enough firewood (that burnt very well) for the couple cold nights and the cookie shack was an awesome added bonus. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the river gorge area or visiting bourbon country as they’re both just a short drive.

Wow where to start. The farm is beautiful. So much land to hike and enjoy nature. The hosts were so kind and helpful with everything. The bunkhouse was great - with good sleeping bags and some blankets it works great in winter. The farmhouse/kitchen was incredible. So cozy and everything you could need to cook great meals and feel at home. Honestly could not recommend this place more. Affordable, beautifully designed, warm, and so many thoughtful details like yummy coffee and tea. They have so many options to stay- great place for everybody!

Lovely, well-kept, and affordable little backyard campground with fun themes for each site. Morning views were very much worth leaving my tent’s rainfly open and letting in the unexpected fog and dew :)
The location of the campground is very close to a small town, but it felt much quieter and more remote than that considering the expanse of farmland around.
If I am ever back in town (which I really hope to be), I would love to come back!

Our second stay! Once during Fall and this time Winter. We hope to visit again in all the seasons because each season has something unique to offer in these beautiful hills. Even in 30 degree weather of December, we arrived to a toasty warm cabin all lit up for us. Once we got settled for bed, we turned off the generator and stayed warm all night. (We did add our sleeping bag on top of the mattress just in case.) There's always firewood to enjoy an outdoor fire, coffee, and games/coloring for kids, lots of woods and creek to explore, and it's so peaceful and private! Cabin and outhouse are super clean! I highly recommend even in the Winter. Tip: if you stay when it's freezing, the shower may not be on- just ask, and I would bring the outdoor hand washing water inside the cabin at night so it's not freezing cold the next morning. We take a portable power bank with us to charge phones so that we don't have to turn on the generator for that. We don't have phone service there, but you don't need it. Unplug! There's wifi you may be able to connect to closer to his driveway or he's the type of host you could knock if you're having a real emergency. There's a restaurant gas station very close by with food and Wifi. The hosts are incredibly kind, fun, friendly people, generous also because with their price, really don't make money on this to justify the work involved. They just like sharing their slice of heaven as a gift! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do and take good care of it!

Overview
About
You might want to bring some oxygen along with you to Natural Bridge State Resort Park, because this natural beauty will take your breath away. We don’t care if that comes out mega corny, because when you visit, you’ll know exactly what we’re saying. Get your butt to the overlooks and marvel at the mountains that seem to go on forever. Fishing, bird-watching, swimming, hiking, mini-golfing, basically the list goes on and on for all you can do here. Take the skylift to get a bird’s eye view of the park, you won’t regret it. Visit the Red River Gorge to watch climbers from all over the world try to conquer this toughie! Keep up with the events calendar: from animals weekends to wildflower showcases, there’s always something fun and interesting to do. Natural Bridge, you’re cool.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Natural Bridge State Resort Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings lush greenery but also larger crowds and hotter temperatures. Winters can be quite cold, making some trails less accessible. Plan your visit between April and October for the best experience.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities accordingly.
- Wear appropriate footwear for hiking, as terrain can be rugged and uneven.
- Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions during your visit.
- Remember to pack out all trash and respect wildlife by observing from a distance.

small campsites, but the river runs through the park and its lovely to listen to it in the night! Pick a site at the end of the primitive campground, although it is a hike to the toilets and showers. Only irritation is that the main road runs along the top of the campground so it can be noisy with traffic. Easy access to quick trails and not far from the Gorge.

This is our favorite campground in the gorge, but it does fill up on weekends and during peak fall color. Showers, coin laundry, water spigots everywhere, etc. Whittleton Arch is an easy trail which begins at the campground. The arch itself isn't one of the most beautiful, but the hike is very enjoyable!

We've been here four times in the past couple years, and every time it's rained on us! No problem, of course, just go prepared for the rain!
