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.

Idyllic grass and wooded campsite.
We enjoyed camping on Bart’s property. The views were spectacular. The outdoor kitchen area was perfect. There is a hiking trail that leads up to the compost outhouse and then continues up to a ledge where you can climb up and hike some more. They have a garden of peppers and herbs which was a nice addition to our breakfast tacos. We definitely recommend.

Nice piece of Kentucky
Very nice set up. Very secluded. Unfortunately the public use sync was not working. It is a multiple site camp so be prepared for a very close neighbor which we had both nights. Enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the stars were so bright at night. We definitely recommend.

This place never disappoints! Lovely setting, great pre-built kitchen space and lots of great spots to pitch a tent.
