Beaver Bend
Ken is SUCH a great host! He gave us a tour of his gorgeous property when we arrived and then provided fantastic recommendations for the area. As for the site itself--it's exactly what we were looking for! There's truly nothing better than being lulled to sleep by the sound of moving water and we had the magical experience of an otter sighting while sitting by the campfire. The site felt private and secluded while having the benefit of only being a 5 minute walk from our parking spot. Highly recommended!

I loved tent camping at Buck Creek Sanctuary! Ken is amazing and so knowledgeable of the nature in his care. We tried sassafras tea Ken made from trees on the property and took an amazing immersion walk with him through the forest. There are SO many paths to explore on his property. It’s absolutely perfect for a little getaway to connect with nature. Close to the mundane world but not too close.

The restroom was 500 feet away, and it was a compost toilet, the creek was almost a half a mile away, the campsite was great,ken was nice enough to loan us a couple of chairs. Just to much walking for me.

Growing Home Camping 4
A gorgeous, peace-filled spot, directly off a main road, easy to navigate to, and close to Louisville! There are many unique camping spots; some near the branch, some in the forest and closer to the main structure, each all offering a different experience and way to connect deeply with the land.
Ken is very knowledgeable about the various flora growing around the property, and kind in showing you around and in ensuring you are set up with what you need at your site. It's clear that he cares deeply about the land and in ensuring that others have a restful stay while there.
The peace and ease is just palatable!
