Van dwelling has its pros and cons that is for sure. Well one of the percs is finding amazing spots you would not normally visit. Middle fork campground and the red river geological gorge is one of those places. Its is well known for its rock climbing but its offers much much more.
There are two state park campgrounds near Natural Bridge and red river gorge. Whittleton and Middle Fork. We stayed at B29 at Middle Fork next to the creek that runs through the campground. We really enjoyed swimming in and following the creek upstream.
Theres fishing, swimming, climbing, hiking, and biking around here, Go out and get some. The natural bridge area is a must see. Its super unique for the area and worth the hike to it .
Cheers!
We've spent several weeks in the danilel boon national forrest. There is amazing primitive camping as well as camping with all the amenities. Natural bridge is really cool. It seems very out of place. But there are tons of caves in kentucky so why not a natural bridge right,
The camp site is sweet. We've been here at different parts of the year. Summer is busy definitely worth making reservations. The fall though mid week we've done walk ins with hardly any people. The sites are fairly large and spaced out pretty good. The place was clean even with so many people at certain times of the year, The staff is always friendly and helpful with what ever you or your family is looking for.
Theres plenty of hiking and biking around natural bridge. Definitely worth checking out!
Cheers!
Great hiking around natural bridge really really cool area. We arrived right before sunset so we were able to get to natural bridge for sunset. Typical campground nothing too fancy.
Daniel Boone is one of my favorite National Forests. So much to do, so many natural wonders. The camping is primitive to luxury, take your pick. The campsite we used was maintained and the sites were plenty far apart. Staff was informative and always ready to help.
Im not sure if ive ever seen so much beauty or had such a wonderful camping experience. It was a spur of the moment trip for my husband & I, but we had no trouble getting in or finding sufficient camping. The weekend we spent here will forever live on in our memories.
Been here a lot over the years, seems like they’re always adding more to the park or the towns nearby so you’ll never run out of things to do. The bridge itself is a great little hike with stunning views. Camping is nicely laid out and kept up, though can be busy.
This park is beautiful! We stopped here while doing the Red River Gorge drive to grab food at the lodge. With all the signs leading up to the park, we had to stop and check it out. We did decide to do a few hours of hiking and loved the natural bridge and also the devil’s gultch area. Such a cool park- camping looked to be very busy since the park was not very serene with the crowds. It would be a great place to explore numerous days so camping would be the easiest way to do that. It is a place I’d stay, but probably not a first choice due to the popularity.
This is a great place. I would rank the Red River Gorge area as the most beautiful place in the Kentucky. Any time I get the chance to head out this way, I do. And I make sure that those chances are not few and far between. This is my favorite place to bring my dogs to get some exercise and time away from work. Be prepared for crowds if you come on the weekend. Stop by in the Fall if you want the added bonus of seeing the leaves turn!
We love natural bridge state park and everything about it! We try to go up there at least once a month. They offer all kinds of wonderful things there especially for kids, there is even a cave tour every week day!
The Natural Bridge is advertised in every rest stop within a 5 hour radius, but it is a very nice park with interesting geology and lots to do. It's pretty touristy, good for kids, not super great for secluded camping. Know what to expect and you'll enjoy yourself. Make reservations! Slightly more resort-y camping accommodations but still rustic. Tent sites are pretty spread out. Nice little stream near campsites and lots of shade. Also a lodge and cabins on site.
Grew up visiting this park and still love it. The view from the bridge is gorgeous, and the short hike up the bridge is a great time for the whole family. As far as the campgrounds, they are well kept and have plenty to do nearby.
