1 site · RV, Tent44 acres · Frenchburg, KY

My place is secluded and peaceful. Its a wooded country setting and is a primitive site. There are no facilities or utilities, there is an outhouse/self composting (follow up your business with dropping leaves in after). It may not be suitable for children as there are active brush/wood burn piles on the land. See all photos and ask questions, please. I want it to be enjoyable for all who book. It’s also noteworthy that there are dogs in the area that roam free, it’s way out in the country, there are no leash laws. I’ve never had any issues with unfriendly dogs, but always be aware. It’s at a dead end road, no thru traffic. You can stay and enjoy some amazing stargazing, (there is minimal lighting and a very dark, clear view of the night sky) and lots of peace and quiet or explore the Daniel Boone National Forest surrounding the property or travel a short distance and see so many nearby amazing areas…Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge State Park, NADA Tunnel, Sky Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Twin Knobs and Zilpo Recreation Areas, Carter Caves State Park, Grayson Lake, Rudy’s Ranch.

Myhio Haven Horse Farm

4 sites · Tents60 acres · West Portsmouth, OH

Established in 1983 on a 60-acre plot of land right in the Shawnee State Forest. The property is beautiful with flat land, fields, and at the back are the foot hills of the Appalachian Mountains. We put a horse farm on the land in 2000. The horses here are my family and I want to expand and offer more opportunities on the land. That's when I came across Hipcamp! I'm excited to share a piece of my heaven that I'm fortunate enough to call home.

Joseph R.’s Land

This property has been in our family for over 30 years. It started out as a woody hillside and been transformed into a beautiful paylake. We started by taking 20 feet of dirt off the top of the hill and pushing it to the edges to create a flat area big enough to build on. Then we dug our 2 big paylakes and stocked them with catfish.

Primitive Camping Retreat

3 sites · Tents25 acres · Butler, KY

Mawhe Acres Camping Retreat has two primitive camp sites just inside the tree line of an open field, each with a 16' x 16' crushed limestone pad for tents. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring and access to a compost toilet (in outhouse). There is no potable water or electric. However, for a nominal fee, we can provide a water hose to the campsite. There's easy access with the ability to drive through the field to the campsite or guests can walk in with their gear from driveway. We're fine with car camping too - we just want to keep things as natural as possible. Mawhe Acres - a 25 acre farm, much of which is raw land and woods in their natural state, undeveloped and not farmed for decades - is an official National Wildlife Federation® (NWF) Certified Wildlife Habitat™ site. NWF recognizes our commitment to sustainably providing the essentials of wildlife habitat - natural sources of food, water, cover and places to raise young. The abundant wildlife around includes deer, squirrels, red foxes, turkeys, chipmunks, groundhogs, raccoons, opossums, woodpeckers, owls, and birds of prey (mostly red-tailed hawks and vultures). We have a small lake with good fishing and acres of woods to explore. There are some footpaths for easier walking. We want to share our beautiful land for our guests to enjoy taking in the sights and sounds of the forest which can help you relax. In fact, it’s possible that time in the great outdoors can boost both your mental and physical health. For example, the science on "forest bathing" (also called "forest therapy") makes a convincing argument that spending time communing with nature can improve stress, anxiety and depression. For those who want a little action, we sit behind a new football facility where you may be able to catch a game or two if you're interested.

Lake Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents44 acres · Bethel, OH

The Lake Farm is 44 acres bordered by farmed land and woods. This farm has been in our family for over 50 years. Although there is no residence on the property, this farm is filled with family memories. For generations, family and friends have gathered at the farm to camp; share meals; fish or float on the lakes; play with our dogs; and enjoy the seasons in a secluded outdoor setting. We have hosted family gatherings for all occasions and seasons including an incredible Winter Camp a few years back with historical tents and recipes. As our children have grown older, the farm now provides a secluded space for solitude; fishing or floating in the lakes; cooking together; sitting around a table and visiting; reading a book; or taking a nap. The two lakes on the farm host much wildlife - morning time is often filled with deer stopping by for a drink or a run across the fields and geese families teaching their children - the regiment of landing on lakes or making abrupt turns while floating on lakes. Sometimes if you watch closely - a beaver can be spotted as he/she is slowly moving a tree branch across the lake or a turtle sunning on a tree stump. The East Fork Horse and Hiking Trail borders our farm and makes the perfect morning walk. This farm has been our refuge and blessing for many years. We have developed 4 camping sites and an additional site - in case our own family needs what we call farm therapy spot whether it be overnight or simply for an afternoon. The Lake Farm neighbors East Fork Lake State Park and allows quick access for kayaks and canoes as well a horse and hiking trail. Additionally, Lake Farm is 30 minutes drive from the Ohio River - where you can access the river at different points. Please feel free to ask for recommendations on good food and local interest.

The Pilot House

1 site · Lodging1 acre · Hillsboro, OH

Just off Rocky Fork Lake with access to the water there are many hiking trails and 10s of thousands of public acres to enjoy. I have a cabin and/or RV electric & water if the cabin is not rented.
