Terrapin Hill Farm

The land that is now Terrapin Hill Farm has been a gathering place over the ages, and we have continued the tradition with music festivals, yoga retreats, weddings, and other celebrations. We believe that getting out in Nature... by camping, hiking, gazing at a campfire or at starry skies... is not only beneficial but necessary to our mental health. That's why we want to share our little slice of heaven with others.

Tent Camping in the Forest

Learn more about this land:Up top our property, we have a beautiful meadow in the middle of the forest. There is space cleared out for camping, under the canopies of the trees. The camping space requires a 10-15 hike up a somewhat steep hill, but we have a four wheeler we can use to help take things up. You will have a very private space. There is no running water or electricity up there, it will be you with the forest.Our farmhouse is at the bottom of the hill, so anything you may need we are available at any time. We have a farm animal sanctuary, so if you like you will be able to visit with our residents. We share a boundary with Bernheim Forest and can give you a tour of the property lines if you want to hike around here. We're also by the Bourbon Trail! 

Little Slice of Heaven <3

Learn more about this land:

I live on 5.5 acres.  It's peaceful and quiet and I love it here.  I've stayed at other hip camps and simply decided that I would love to share my little slice of heaven with others passing through my area.  Notes: there is a wee bit of road noise, I live on a dead end road, there are 10 acres between my 5 acres and the Blue Grass Parkway.  I find it peaceful here and can easily ignore it but I'm mentioning it so your not surprised by it  ;)  The Neighbor dog (Roxy) is very friendly and might visit you while you are here :)

You are welcome to hang a hammock in a small section of woods, by a small pond, or even on my covered porch.

You are welcome to pitch a tent anywhere you like.

You are welcome to park an RV or vehicle in the drive.  The drive is about 250ft long, you would need to back in in order to hook up to the 30 or 50 amp plug.

RV's can use the 30 or 50 amp plug and hose for water. 

I have an outdoor shower and a camping toilet.

Prayer Mountain Mushroom Farm

Escape the hustle and bustle and embrace the serenity of our picturesque 50-acre farm. Each of our three campsites offers a private and stunning natural setting. We believe in making nature accessible and enjoyable for all, so our sites are designed to be affordable and simple. 

Firewood and Essentials

Forget the hassle and expense of firewood—we've got you covered. Each site comes with a supply of firewood. The wood we supply can sometimes be tough to get started. We recommend you bring fire starters or a small amount of kindling to get things started.

Primitive but Beautiful

Our campsites are rustic and primitive, perfect for those who love the great outdoors. You’ll experience nature in its purest form, with the beauty of the landscape and the presence of local wildlife, including insects. It’s all part of the charm of outdoor living.

Trash Disposal

We are committed to preserving the beauty of our land. Please pack out all trash to keep our sites clean and beautiful for the next guests. Trash can be disposed of in the dumpster near the greenhouses as you exit. 

Ticks and Safety

As with any natural setting, ticks are present.  We have been working at eradicating ticks at the camps sites by mowing and using nontoxic DE dust around sites. We recommend bringing insect repellent and checking for ticks regularly to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.

Farm Fresh Goods

Don’t forget to pick up some of our delicious mushrooms and farm-fresh eggs on your way in. They’re a perfect addition to your campfire meals. (Limited Supply. Reach out before your stay.)

Booking Information

To keep things simple and secure, all bookings must be made through the Hipcamp app. We do not accept cash or in-person reservations. If you’d like to extend your stay, please use the app to make the necessary arrangements.

We look forward to welcoming you to Prayer Mountain. Safe and happy travels!
