Our property, Plantasia, is thirty-five acres of hardwood forest, lined with limestone boulders and sandstone cliffs, the occasional old growth tree, and mineral springs pouring out pure delicious water. The rest of the property is an old Appalachian homestead, featuring organic gardens and orchards, two farm cats and one farm dog, bee hives, and a flock of domestic ducks. The stewards are Phil, Sacha, and three year-old Aurora. We are particularly keen to welcoming other families and/or folks who live in relative sobriety. The springs feed into creeks which criss-cross the wildflower meadow, creating spaces to splash and explore with the minnows, crawdads, frogs, snakes, and whoever else you might find. To the interest of fossil hunters and rock hounds, the creeks are packed with geodes, agates, and relics of an age when Plantasia was the ocean floor (~250 million years ago). Down the road, the trailhead of one of Kentucky's greatest waterfalls, Anglin Falls, is within walking distance (though you can also drive there and park). Plantasia is also a short drive from Berea, the folk art capital of Kentucky, which features plenty of local shops and restaurants, as well as some beautiful trails on the outskirts of town (Brushy Fork for a relaxing stroll, or the Pinnacles for a big majestic hike).

    Loved our stay at Plantasia.
    It’s evident that Phil and his family have put some series care and effort into their Hipcamp location. The platform and roof structure was key to us having a great trip considering it rained most of the time we were there. We stayed nice and dry because of the structure. Their outhouse is one of the nicest outhouses that I’ve ever used. I love the clever ways that they came up with to create a running water “sink”. The animals were so friendly and we were absolutely entertained watching and listening to the ducks each morning. Phil even offered us some of their duck eggs for breakfast. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

    We had an incredible experience staying here! It’s a great camp site with enough privacy and amenities. We loved getting out in nature and meeting the pets including the ducks, cats, and dog. The waterfall trail up the road is a fantastic hike and we will be back to this place!

    Our family throughly enjoyed our stay! The campsite had everything you’d want for a relaxing and simple escape to the peaceful hills of KY. The kids loved watching and following the ducks out to the creek then wandering around the beautiful field and gardens. We really enjoyed meeting this wonderful family and would absolutely recommend this site!

    Great spot!
    Easy to find, google map lead right to driveway. Immediately when you pull in is the spot, just look up the hill. Site was great! Well maintained, the platform for the tent was awesome, didn’t need a rain fly which helped on a warm night, it rained a bit and I felt nothing. There’s a sink and water which was great! Phil said hi from afar, guessing to give privacy which was super nice, nicest guy too! I’d make a trip back just to stay here!
