Pristine woods, trails, river access, and more! Located in the heart of the Appalachian and on the bank of the Upper Cumberland River.

Yes 63 private acres providing exclusive access to adjoining Daniel Boone National Forest land (46,000 acres in Whitley County alone) and over 850,000 acres of National Forest land. This property is uniquely located, providing privacy and peaceful enjoyment of thousands of acres of national forest Cane Creek Water Falls. You pick your private campsite within 63 acres for outdoor recreation. The opportunities are truly endless with miles and miles of less travel available trails returning to camp with a “tall tale” tell, and nature enthusiasts still stunned to have witnessed the American Bald Eagle while hiking. Resting on a county road, this scenic property is shielded from nearby development by the national forest and National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. This property is accommodating to many forms of camping, including those who wish to explore the national forest by horseback. There is even a trail for 9.5 miles from your campsite to Cumberland Falls trail number 2 that very few have ever traveled. This property includes flat land and cliff lines. Cane Creek crosses the property, produces a 45’ waterfall and a medium-size swimming hole and empties into the Cumberland river. This southeastern Kentucky property enjoys quick access to I-75. It is located halfway between Lexington, Kentucky and Knoxville, Tennessee. It is also located approximately halfway on I-75 between Michigan and Florida. The property is isolated from other developed property. It is not encumbered by restrictions associated with commercial camping areas or federal regulations. From your unique campsite location, there are hundreds of miles of private explorable hiking and horseback trails. Beaten down by deer, elk, bear and other wildlife trails wide and narrow lead to watering holes and cliff overhangs that once provided shelter to Native Americans. An old logging trail connecting to your campsite leads to boulders that protrude into the river, providing a unique place to sun, fish and picnic. “Backcountry” camping is permitted within the National Forest, with some restrictions. Our Off Grid Campsite does not have all these restrictions. Nearby rock walls and steep inclines tempt adventurous hikers and welcome both amateur and skilled rock climbers. On land or water, you’ll be greeted by a host of colorful birds, witness the American Bald Eagle and other predator birds and maybe if lucky spot a black bear. In addition to the recreation opportunities directly associated with your primitive campsite, quickly accessible attractors/attractions include: Cumberland Falls State Park - Laurel River Lake - Bark Camp Creek (trout stocked) - Williamsburg Golf Course - Kentucky Splash Water Park and Family Entertainment Center- Big South Fork National Park- University- just to name a few.

Shinrin-yoku is the name given to the Japanese art of “forest bathing,” contemplative walks through the woods that reconnect the individual with nature and can lead to decreased stress, natural mood elevation and even a stronger immune system. This means of mobile meditation has been recognized by the Japanese government since 1982 and has been endorsed by the Forest Agency of Japan as a means of improving quality of life. The practice can be a natural way to combat the toll of stress and anxiety

We enjoyed some much needed downtime by the river at Patrick’s River Camp. It was quiet and spacious. We didn’t get to explore the river as we hoped (lots of rain recently) but it would have been a real treat to. The kids enjoyed all the room to run and play.

Absolutely serene property on the Cumberland River. If you love the rustle of the breeze in the trees, sun filtering through the leaves, water sparkling on the river, the call of owls and other birds, and enjoy being around beautifully graceful hosts, this is the place for you. We enjoyed the company of other campers and the owners, enjoyed walking the property, gem sleuthing, fishing in the pond, enjoying the sun burning the fog of the river in the morning, roasting hot dogs and s'mores over the fire pit, and enjoying a delicious breakfast with Angelica. We truly wished we didn't have to leave and could stay for forever! Did I mention this is all within driving distance of Cumberland Falls to visit the moonbow, see double rainbows during the day, Mountain Craft Center, Eagle Falls, horse riding, and Blue Heron Mining Camp...

We passed through the area as part of a larger road trip and we left wishing wed stayed longer. We LOVED the CostaRican breakfast and all the other driving/hikes/tourisim recomedations from Patrick and company were fabulous and made the rest of our trip easier.We stayed in the Muskrat hut in fall, and that was pretty swell! If you are looking for a campground for someone who isnt really a big camper or you just want some home-y touches in a place thats far from home, I'd recomend this place.

I cannot even express, the love that has gone into this home away from home. It what we needed. Patrick and his amazing wife were the best Host! We left feeling like family. This will definitely be a destination spot for us forever. So many cool suggestions from Patrick to explore, in Williamsburg. The campground is beautifully taken care of. The water is right there out your tent or RV front door. Restroom, clean, well lit. They have so many amenities, very affordable. Next time we will definitely be getting all of the breakfast options! Getting ready to book our fall adventure!

Clean, rural and rustic property to tent camp along the river. Angelica was kind and accommodating, upgrading our site because of the previous nights storms making the primitive site inaccessible and kayaking unavailable. We will be back at a better time to take advantage of the full experience.

RV Site

When I visited this site last year, there was only one full hookup site. When I booked, I thought it was the same place, given the picture shown was the location from last year. But when I arrived, there camper spot was up by the road, on gravel and not at all what we were expecting. I was extremely unhappy with the location, given the fact it looked my driveway at home and not at all like a River Site like the picture implies. The map is difficult to read where the campsite location is. More detailed maps would help in instance like this. We loved it there last year, but we were disappointed about this visit. So much in fact, we may never return.

Riverside RV campsite

We had a great camping trip at Patrick’s. Staff were fun to talk too and get ideas about local attractions. Bathrooms and showers were always clean and had warm water. Our family chose a primitive camping site near the river and enjoyed privacy and quiet. Two of the days we were there had rain and we were able to hang out and dry out a bit under the main barn. Would definitely recommend the location as long as no doubt exists about ability to attend. Grandparents weren’t able to attend as per medical reasons and received no refund as per the policy.

RV Site

The campground was quiet. There were a lot of chickens and roosters running around. You could hear them crowing in the mornings. There were a lot of birds because they have well used bird houses everywhere. You can watch goldfinches and barn swallows of plenty that you could watch fly in and out. There were owls that you could hear at night. An eagle flies up and down the river occasionally. There are also quite a few deer that wonder in. There is a waterfall in walking distance if you don’t mind a slight hike. Rabbits were rather plentiful too. There is plenty of room to walk around. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately we didn’t get to go canoeing due to all the flooding around Kentucky right now. It was nice to watch the river moving though. The down side, in a way, was the lights. They have security lights that are pretty bright but as long as you block all the windows at night (close all curtains) it is nice. It sounds amazing at night! The light, as I said is very bright. It was very quiet too and we were there from Sunday to the following Sunday. No loud parties and whatnot. There is some junk and whatnot sitting around but it isn’t distracting. It’s also not where you would trip over it so to speak and not near the water. The hosts were incredibly nice and helpful. We were able to sit and talk with them in the shelter. There is plenty of room to explore and for any kids to play. There is some things for kids to play on and disc golf baskets.
