6 acres hosted by Marietta L.
1 tent site
Loving Farm is a 6 acre working flower farm and nature preserve in the heart of Nepton, Kentucky (within Ewing). Bordered by Johnson Creek and a railroad, supposedly being revived. TBD.
Marietta and Perriee (aka, "The Girls") are a happily married couple who are the current caretakers of the land and live in the house on the property.
Half of the property, along the creek, is currently being nature-scaped after not mowing it since 2022. Since then, we have been maintaining mowed pathways and planting seeds, trees, and vegetables that can be found in pockets along the way.
The revitalization has led to a resurgence of sunchokes, golden rod, and other native species, in addition to some ragweed, which we have been managing diligently as the space matures.
Camp sites are located in this part of the property, mostly along the creek.
We also have a White Duck bell tent that is on a deck that overlooks the trails, which can be reserved as well.
Our home is also on the property, along the railroad, where our more cultivated gardens are located. We have cats and ducks on the property and appreciate not having other animals from guests, out of respect for their comfort.
There is a porta-potty on site and a Trelino composting toilet for guest use in the flower studio bathroom. The flower studio has a bathtub and is plumbed with city water. Cold water is available from an outdoor spigot 24-7. This space is used by Perriee and Marietta for flower storage, seed starting, and baking for events and will remain accessible to guests while staying for the use of bathroom. We would ask you not cook or store food in the kitchen as we use it for business purposes, but the space does have an air conditioner in the event someone needs to cool off. Regardless, it is likely that you will run into another guest here, and cross paths with one of us while working in the studio during the day.
The Nepton Warehouse, located on the property, is visible from the road and is used for events here on the farm. We will let you know if an event will be happening during your stay in the event that you want to come during a quieter time.
Nepton is a great community with the rural feel you are looking for if you want to camp in nature but be a little closer to people. Cars pass, the hospital is close, but the cicadas hum, the stars are bright, and the sky is big and beautiful.
Be sure to check out the following attractions if you are interested in something to do while here: Turtleback Ridge Brewery (also on Hipcamp for an overnight), Yoder's Dinner Bell Market, look for the Honey sign around the corner at Ellessare Farm, stop at Nepton Greenhouse and say hello to Nancy and Daniel, and of course shop at the Fleming County Farmer's Market during the season (open Tuesday evening and Saturday mornings).Find a nice mowed area along the creek to pitch your tent for the night. It is a short walk down to the area with your gear, but we can loan you our Gorilla cart to help transport your stuff.
The Flower Studio bathroom and porta potty are a walk along the trail to get to, so you will need a flashlight to navigate the way. Since the Flower Studio is on a gray water system (water from sinks and tub), we ask to use our soap or bring your own natural soaps to wash with. There is bentonite clay to soak in, if you are so inclined.
There is also a fire ring and propane grill located near the Flower Studio.
We cannot guarantee a quiet night, as there are dogs who bark and occasional engine noises from the cars across the creek, but it sure is beautiful. We just want you to be aware.
