Away at Green Hill sits on forested terrain in northern Kentucky, offering a mix of drive-in and 4WD-only campsites spread across the property. The campground operates without electric or water hookups, requiring campers to pack out all trash. Sites like Henry's Holler require four-wheel drive to navigate the steep access hill, while other locations remain accessible to standard vehicles.
The property features easy walking trails that wind through the wooded areas and open terrain near the river. A single well-maintained outhouse serves as the only restroom facility on-site. Hosts provide welcome kits with citronella candles and fire-starting supplies, while firewood can be purchased at the barn. The campground maintains good spacing between sites and allows both pets and alcohol, making it suitable for campers comfortable with primitive conditions who want access to Big Bone Lick State Historic Site Campground and other regional attractions.
