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.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.

The area was super pretty and very excluded from everywhere else. Bart had trails all around for you to hike. The camp site had running water and electricity. It was amazing

Saved our vacation.
We started our vacation in Virginia, but because of hurricane Debbie, we ended up staying here on a moments notice. What we found was a really quiet and secluded property. Even when other campers showed up, there was plenty of space between us. Loved the outdoor shower, even with only cold water my wife and I found it very refreshing after a long day outside. And the toilet, yes the toilet is worthy of mention. Made of cedar, I don’t know how that composting toilet works, but no foul odors whatsoever. Only the aroma of cedar and leaves. The only thing we found in disrepair was the picnic table, looks like someone forgot to take out the umbrella before a windstorm. Bart has a gem of a property, and we will definitely be back.
