Dragonfly Ranch camping with horses

4 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Cub Run, KY

Learn more about this land: This is a horse ranch so you can sleep in the company of horses or in the woods with them in the distance ( check if available/storm damage).We have rolling hills, beautiful views from the hill tops, valley with creeks and a waterfall when not in dry or draught and an abundance of wildlife. Also we're located 5-10 minutes from mammoth cave park border, hike, bike and horse trails, river, lake, blue holler atv park and so much more. If you are sensitive to animal noises you may bring earplugs. There isn't a bathroom/ shower house yet so we ask that you bring a port-a-pot of some sort. We're constantly making upgrades to the Ranch so we hope you enjoy your stay. Please refrain from feeding the horses or dogs because it creates a bad habit and folks that don't know how sensitive a horses gut is can possibly kill them. Respect privacy of others and pack out all that you pack in. Shut any gates you come through.please understand that my horses are of all ages and that includes young ones and babies and seniors as well. The young ones like to be nosey and are still learning what they are allowed to do and what not to do. They are naturally curious and love attention. If they think you have snacks , they can act like a pack of kindergarteners with the promise of cupcakes...we don't want that but because some campers think they are the exception and gave them snacks, it is something we have to monitor more closely. Remember they are animals and they will get into anything if it's left unattended. Please be a responsible camper and ensure we all stay safe and enjoy the experience.We have a section for folks to park in if they do not want to be so close to the horses as well. If you don't like horses or dogs please consider alternative camp site. Limited pet allowance...check before booking please. Also, we've had issues with the site and it offering horse time, ride, Q&A etc. for 5$. We've taken steps to fix this. But if you would like something like that it would be through the Ranch directly and as our time allows. Thank you for taking the time to read everything as well.

There's plenty of room for an RV to park. Tent camping allowed. I have a large garden and sheep. Fresh produce available for sale in season as available. We have a gas grill and a charcoal grill available, just bring your own charcoal or propane tank (available at stores within 2 miles). Lake Malone State Park is about 14 miles away with swimming, boating, and fishing areas. There are very nice parks in Lewisburg and Russellville on either side of me with playground and picnic areas. Russellville city square has a cute little park with monuments telling the history of the town from Lewis and Clark to the Civil War to the civil rights movement. Guthrie KY is between here and Clarksville TN, and is the site of the Robert Penn Warren museum, The Stagecoach Inn where Andrew Jackson discussed the Trail of Tears, and also where Jesse James tavern is, and a sign beside the road that marks one of Daniel Boone's camps as well. There's an Amish market caty corner across the street from me, and others near Guthrie. We are not a commercial campsite, just a private homestead.
