We recently moved from the next county over and are enjoying making this place ours and improvements for guests. Property is 15 minutes south of Cincinnati, close to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG), close to restaurants and attractions such as Kings Island (approximately 1 hour), Creation Museum (approximately 25 minutes) and The Ark (approximately 25 minutes). Also nearby are several state parks and local favorites such as Big Bone State park, Rabbit Hash,and Riverbend.
We have 2 dogs who walk with us on leash and recently added chickens and goats! Elmer and Clyde do like to wander and explore. They are very friendly.

Gravel driveway leads up to both spots. We do try to keep it maintained, but frequently rain causes ruts faster than we can fill. It should not impede drivability, but use caution and feel free to ask if you have any concerns. #1 improvement planned is paving driveway. You may also experience some vehicle noise from roadway. Typically, as we are on a back road, it is fairly quiet but some drivers may be louder than others and some evenings see more traffic.
Level gravel area for RV parking, second plateau available for multiple tent sites. Campfires in designated area.
Deer, wild turkeys, opossums and raccoons are plentiful and often wander through. Less common are foxes and bald eagles that make their home at Doe Run Lake nearby.
Main home on property but only close enough for assistance, not interference.
Homesteading in progress with many improvements being added.
Property is close to Creation Museum and the Ark. 10 minutes from restaurants and expressway but feels like a retreat.
Wi-fi, trash, private area for camp toilet, fire ring, water, camp stove (available in extras). Optional tent and chair rentals.
Tent camping was nice here. The land was flat enough to set up, the grass was cut and everything was ready. The goats were funny but my dogs have never met a goat so they had a tough time getting along. Everything met our expectations and we enjoyed our camping experience.
I and my family spent four days in the very quiet, beautiful , secluded camp
We had a campfire every day and cooked dinner over the fire.
We were in the hills of Kentucky.
I especially enjoyed that my 4WD was required to get to my spot.
I own a nice 4WD truck which had never been off of dry pavement.
It required 4WD low lock to pull my 25’ camper to my spot.
I felt special that I had something no t just anybody could do.
The camp host was proud to help us have a nice tine.
Nice level spot set off the road in Eryn’s front yard, Near to Cincinnati, where I needed to be, but I did not want to be in the city, so this was perfect. The goats made an appearance, which was cute. 😊
Eryn & her family were very friendly, kind & helpful & I had a good rest on their land. The parking was flat & solid, the grass was soft & had no obstacles, very suitable 4a tent.
It was a wonderful night under the stars. Plenty of space in a welcoming environment. That being said, I feel obligated to mention it is literally camping in someone’s yard. Didn’t feel like it at all, though that is the case. One of the neighbor’s dogs had something going on that particular night as well. Probably not the case most nights, but it had a stick up its butt about something that overnight. Whatever really, not a big deal, just worth mentioning maybe. Nonetheless-still a great night on a great piece of grassland! Would go again.
