Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Lost On Purpose

Everything went great. The host is great with communication and the land is peaceful. Would always recommend this hipcamp

2 nights at Lost On Purpose

True definition of secluded in nature. Was able to get in the creek and follow for miles all directions. Crystal clear waters flowing from up top and all the history it carries with it! Nothing but the sounds of deer calls for bed down, owls, the wind and the trees speaking to you, and stars at night. It was definitely a heavy feeling to have to leave, but I can’t wait to get back again this season and do some more exploring. I will say this is a primitive campers advantage for sure. The wind up in the mountain can cut and rain can come in at any moment. Temps about 10 degrees or so colder than actual. I prefer cold weather camping myself but if you’re not confident in your primitive skills, I’d stay to the warmer months. All in all, can’t wait to get back to this 125 acre beauty. Thank you for sharing what you have with us!

Weekend Trip to Terrapin Hill Farm

Great spot for the night. Host responds to messages quickly.

1 night at Fire pit creek side

Great little campsite, it was easy to find! Definitely coming back!

1 night at Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

This spot is wonderful and the hosts even more amazing! So friendly, helpful, and gracious. And that's not even adding in the beauty of the animals. We had a memorable night there, and would happy return if in the area. Great experience!

1 night at Fire pit creek side

Really nice site with a lot of space. Hosts were very friendly and made sure there was enough dry firewood since they had just received a lot of rain.

Weekend Trip to Canaan Land Farm

Every thing went perfectly and it was the perfect spot. My 24 ft camper set perfectly , the location was perfect and my German shepherd fit perfectly. It was the perfect spot and the host was just absolutely amazing. I would recommend this to anyone. Good luck getting it before I get back to it. It is just the perfect campsite

Weekend Trip to Wildcat Creek Farm in Tyrone

My dad and I camped out for the weekend to do the bourbon trail. Keven was as very friendly and accommodating. We loved waking up and seeing the animals and had a sweet cat purring in our laps around the fire at night. We will definitely be back.

2 nights at Canaan Land Farm

Weekend Trip to Mollys Ridge Glamping and Camping

Great private spot, wonderful rock for ring. Everything supplied for eating a meal and making coffee, taking a good hot shower! Thank you for thinking of the small things. We cooked steaks on the fire ring, it was perfect. The tent stayed warm with the propane heater!

Weekend Trip to Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

I really liked the beautiful land and horses. There were several firepits around the pond to make a campfire. Highly recommend. 5 star in my book!

Weekend Trip to Barren River Magic

Loved the property. We had the whole place to ourselves and had a blast exploring the river, the trails, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. We tent camped, and the tent camping site made you feel miles away from civilization. Only thing we heard from our camp were coyotes and birds. We checked out the glamping options while exploring the property and might’ve picked out a couple we want to try out on our next visit. The host was incredibly kind, they provided firewood and led us to a great camping spot, and were very welcoming. We’ll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Fire pit creek side

Absolutely LOVED our camp weekend at sole tribe acres! This was my son's (2 years old) first camping experience and he had a blast. Alexa and her husband provided loads of firewood for the fire pit. We loved the privacy of the location while not being too remote n and Alexa was so responsive. We can't wait to come back in the spring!

2 nights at Barren River Magic

This site lives up to the name magic, 100%. Gorgeous, peaceful, well spaced out, just a lovely spot to be, the land feels GOOD. Highly recommend any of the glampsites, although primitive campers have great location options. The glamps are creative, well appointed, and each has a whimsy unique to itself. And don’t miss getting in the River, it’s cold but worth it!

Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

4 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Cub Run, KY

Learn more about this land: This is a horse ranch so you can sleep in the company of horses or in the woods with them in the distance ( check if available/storm damage).We have rolling hills, beautiful views from the hill tops, valley with creeks and a waterfall when not in dry or draught and an abundance of wildlife. Also we're located 5-10 minutes from mammoth cave park border, hike, bike and horse trails, river, lake, blue holler atv park and so much more. If you are sensitive to animal noises you may bring earplugs. There isn't a bathroom/ shower house yet so we ask that you bring a port-a-pot of some sort. We're constantly making upgrades to the Ranch so we hope you enjoy your stay. Please refrain from feeding the horses or dogs because it creates a bad habit and folks that don't know how sensitive a horses gut is can possibly kill them. Respect privacy of others and pack out all that you pack in. Shut any gates you come through.please understand that my horses are of all ages and that includes young ones and babies and seniors as well. The young ones like to be nosey and are still learning what they are allowed to do and what not to do. They are naturally curious and love attention. If they think you have snacks , they can act like a pack of kindergarteners with the promise of cupcakes...we don't want that but because some campers think they are the exception and gave them snacks, it is something we have to monitor more closely. Remember they are animals and they will get into anything if it's left unattended. Please be a responsible camper and ensure we all stay safe and enjoy the experience.We have a section for folks to park in if they do not want to be so close to the horses as well. If you don't like horses or dogs please consider alternative camp site. Limited pet allowance...check before booking please. Also, we've had issues with the site and it offering horse time, ride, Q&A etc. for 5$. We've taken steps to fix this. But if you would like something like that it would be through the Ranch directly and as our time allows. Thank you for taking the time to read everything as well.
