Rustic Camping Near Jefferson County Forestry & Tom Wallace Park Welcome to our 5-acre corner lot, a unique mix of rural charm and city convenience. This primitive campsite is perfect for those looking to disconnect and experience nature while still being close to modern amenities. What to Expect: 🌿 Scenic & Secluded – Our property borders Jefferson County Forestry, with an entrance just 1 mile away, offering miles of trails and outdoor adventures. We’re also near Tom Wallace Park, a great spot for hiking and fishing. 🔥 True Off-Grid Camping – This is a bring-your-own-gear site. No water, electricity, or showers—just you, your supplies, and the great outdoors. A fire pit is provided, and there’s a shared porta potty for convenience. 🚜 A Working Farm Community – Expect to see and hear a mix of country and city life. You may hear wildlife, passing trains, tractors, gunfire from Knob Creek Range, and nearby neighbors working their land. It’s all part of the experience of staying in an authentic rural setting. 🏙️ Convenient Location – Though it feels like a getaway, we’re just 5 minutes from Kroger, Walmart, and a variety of restaurants. Downtown Louisville is a 30-minute drive, and we’re 15 minutes from Fort Knox. If you’re looking for an authentic, off-grid camping adventure close to both nature and the city, this is the spot for you! 🌲🏕️

Off Grid Van Life w. Solar Power

This tucked away camper was perfect for our roadtrip. We had a fantastic stay at Off Grid Van Life in Louisville! There was plenty of room, both in the van, and on the property, it felt private and peaceful, despite its proximity to the train tracks. The bathroom was clean and everything was super convenient and simple. We loved waking up to lots of bird activity in the morning and enjoyed the nearby stream. We hiked at Scott’s Gap just a few minutes away, which was a great bonus. 5/5 would definitely visit again!

Secluded Creekside: Cypress

My first time using Hipcamp and did not not know what to expect but camp escape has nice large sites and really close to town for any supplies you would need. I would most definitely stay there again and refer it to everyone else that enjoys camping

Puts the fun in funky.

Glam Camp-Upcycled Tiny House Camp

An unexpected funky, eclectic, bohemian rhapsody (pun intended) of fun and convenience, hidden in plain sight. There's something endearing, nostalgic and, Americana about watching trains while the sun sets. What a fun place!

Secluded Creekside: Sycamore

I loved this area so much! It was easy to hook, Shelby's instructions for directions and checkin was smooth and easy for my fiance and I who decided on a random camping night. Quiet and plenty of space in the camping area. We will definitely be back!
