Camping in Red River Gorge has never been so easy, luxurious, OR cozy! If you're hoping for a unique, incredibly cool stay, visit and see all that our 50-acre woods have to offer!

Please note that our new event space, The Rookery, is reserved exclusively for guests who have booked the entire property.

** Our tents are semi-off-grid, which means no plumbing or water inside, however, there is electricity, heating, lights, and water from an outdoor spigot. We also have a fully on-grid bathhouse with septic, electricity, and instant hot water**

The Neighborhood:
On most of the 50 acres, you won't see anything man-made. This creates a fully immersive experience for you. Also, you’ll be on privately owned property with designated hiking trails (map included); please hike, explore, and allow yourself to be free!

* There are other guests that you’ll be sharing the 50 acres with, so don’t free yourself completely, if you know what we mean *

The property also has tons of natural features. The tents sit atop a giant horseshoe of cliff-edges; as you explore, you’ll find sweeping, scenic views of our valley, a waterfall, natural rock overhangs, creeks, and acres more of wildlife!
If you need to get off-property and want to do some fun, local activities, we’re within minutes of local attractions like world-class climbing and hiking, ziplining, underground kayaking (yeah, you heard us), horseback riding, and so many more things! Not to mention all of the wonderful local restaurants you can visit -- don’t worry, we’ve sampled them all and have listed our top 5 in the guestbook and on our website.

If you aren't familiar with Red River Gorge and the surrounding areas, don’t worry -- we'll send you a list of our favorite off-site activities. We want your time away to be extraordinary!
