Pets can be off-leash at some sites.
15 acres with a barn and creek. Our property also boarders the Jefferson County Forestry and is close to Tom Wallace Park. This 5 acres is a corner lot next to railroad tracks so there are two roads on two sides. This is a very rural type area yet still in the city so you will hear and see a combination of city/country things. We are very close to Fort Knox and Knob Creek gun range. You will most likely encounter wildlife, hear gunfire, hear cars and the train go by, you will probably see and hear us and the neighbors on tractors and trucks. This is a working farm among other farming type residents. This is a space for someone to camp with their personal camping equipment. There is no water, no shower, no electric or anything else besides a fire pit. You need to bring your own supplies. We border the Jefferson County Forestry with an entrance about 1 mile away. We are about 30 mins away from downtown, but just 5 mins from a Kroger, Walmart, and a dozen different restaurants. We are also about 15 mins from Fort Knox. There is a shared porta potty onsite.

Shelby’s land was perfect for us on our road trip! Check in was easy and the campsites were well kept and labeled. Would definitely stay again!

Clean & private, but noisy.
The hosts did an excellent job of prepping the site. The grass was mowed, fire pit was clean, and even the porta-pot was very clean. The site was large and had very tall grass (6ft) separating it from other sites to give plenty of privacy. The only drawback is the noise. Trains and low-flying commercial airplanes woke us up multiple times in our two-night stay. Regardless, we still enjoyed our weekend getaway and may return.

We had at great stay on Shelby’s property 🤍. To be so close to the city and still have such privacy is amazing. Beautiful greenery, secluded spots, and overall cozy vibes. Shelby was super helpful, responsive, and flexible with me. We even ended up staying an additional night at our Sycamore spot!! If you’re thinking about it go for it.

Great spot! Just as described - a secluded camp in the city. This means you’ll hear trains and cars, but there’s enough foliage and trees to separate that from camp. Loved the creek right behind the site, that was my puppies favorite part!
