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.

Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses
Overall we had a great experience! The land is beautiful and we were instructed where to go upon arrival. No one else was camping near us so that was nice. The site is 45 minutes from Mammoth Cave. Unfortunately the horses were never out of their enclosure the duration of the trip. We were present at the campsite late Friday night, Saturday morning and mid afternoon to evening, and then Sunday morning. The dogs provided great company though. However, one of them seemed to have either mange or fleas that needs to be treated.

Stars and Doggies and Horses, Oh My
I had a great experience here with my family! I came out here with my two little girls to go camping under the stars and see some horses and got both in spades! Tonya is the epitome of southern charm, a great pleasure to chat with, and very helpful whenever I needed anything. We got to see and interact with the horses as much as we wanted as well as some cute pups who played with my girls, found a great spot to set up some hammocks to camp, and enjoyed some quiet nature respite. I would definitely come back here the next time I am camping in the area.

We had a fantastic time camping with a very friendly and playful herd of horses! What a unique experience to wake up to horses waiting to greet us at our door! The views were gorgeous, and the location was very convenient to Mammoth Caves. Our host was very welcoming and hospitable; she made sure we had everything we needed to have a blast. Wished we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be looking forward to visiting in the future! A note to large RVs: don’t go down Meredith Rd without first contacting the host!
