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.

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!

Well secluded area in the forest with some trails to walk the area. A different camping site is even next to a river! The host, Ken, was very accommodating and is fun to talk with. Fire is permitted in already made fire pits so no personal fires but one is very close by.
I highly recommend this camping site. I WILL be going back.
