    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Homegrown HideAways and Lago Linda Hideaway provide distinctive glamping options in central Kentucky's scenic terrain. Homegrown HideAways features a tipi large enough for small groups while maintaining privacy for solo travelers, plus yurts in a secluded valley setting. Lago Linda offers rustic cabins overlooking a private lake with comfortable amenities including kitchenettes and queen beds. Both locations provide electricity, heated bathroom facilities, and fire pits. The picturesque settings include wooded areas and waterfront access, with thoughtfully designed communal spaces like pavilions and lounges. One guest described Homegrown HideAways as "nestled in a narrow valley between high ridges of The Knobs, this campground gives the feel of secluded country living with your own trails and creeks to explore."

    Visitors to these glamping destinations enjoy swimming in private lakes, hiking on maintained trails, and fishing with permits. Homegrown HideAways regularly hosts art, craft, and music festivals throughout the year, while maintaining a quiet atmosphere perfect for reconnecting with nature. The Red River Gorge area, nearby to several glamping sites, offers world-class rock climbing and scenic hiking trails. According to a reviewer, "The coffee is locally roasted, fair trade, and most importantly, served fresh, early and rich." Winter visitors should note that while HomeGrown HideAways remains open year-round, some amenities become limited during colder months. The central Kentucky location provides convenient access to natural attractions while maintaining the sense of peaceful seclusion that defines the glamping experience. Most sites require advance reservations, especially during peak summer and fall seasons.

      Zilpo Campground

      A Week of Relaxation

      This was a week long trip for our 7th Anniversary. We brought our small a-frame, kayaks, ez-up, kitchen set up and one of our dogs, Butters, with us for this trip. We've never been to this campground before so we tried to do some research on reviews - the good, the bad the ugly. We found that the H loop seemed to be the way to go so we reserved H006. It had a very level pad for our camper - that was a plus and it included electric. There was a tent pad at the top where we would sit in the morning with coffee. When you follow the steps down, there was a very large camping area with the fire ring. We were able to set an RV mat with our ez-up and then set up our cooking kitchen across the way. The picnic table was huge (no gaps!) and provide plenty of seating for more than just the two of us. There were three lantern/food polls available to use, one at the top and two at the bottom. Across the street was extra parking and a path that led down to your own private beach. We didn't have to go to the beach (which was closed for the season) to enjoy the lake. We loved our site and although we had sites on either side - you weren't on top of each other. 

      There was a man-made path you could follow down to the lower road and take a short walk to the shower house. The shower house was ok - three toilets (one broken) and three showers (the handicap out of order). The toilets flushed "hard", in other words, be read to step out as you hit the flush button as it tends to splash more than it should. The showers had a door, a small bench for clothes and a very small stall. It was kept clean, but still covered in bugs/cobwebs/etc. There are two shower houses in H loop.

      We walked the H loop at least twice a day - almost a mile around. There are not very many electric sites on the loop. Some sites were single and some were double (much larger). We did get to walk/drive through the other loops - they were ok as well, but I would only go back knowing we'd be in H. 

      We drove out to do a couple of short hikes. No bears, but lots of nature - tons of mushrooms! We even drove through the Clear Creek campground - not a lot there, drop toilets and the water main was broken. Very low key if that's what you're looking for. We stopped by a small park and saw the old iron furnace, pretty cool and lot's of places to picnic. 

      We loved our site, the H loop and the variety of things we got to do while we were there.

      Lago Linda Hideaway

      A nice campground for families and rock climbers!

      This big campground is a hidden gem near Red River Gorge. The road getting to the campsite is mostly one lane so is you are in an RV, go slow. The area for RV's is a little tight in the trees and probably won't accommodate an extremely large vehicle. However, there is a huge open field on further into the camp that should be fairly easy to turn around in. The huge field is available for tent campers, but these are primitive sites with no water/electricity. The improved sites with water/electricity are closer to The Pavilion and Shake Out Lounge. The Pavilion is a great place to gather and talk with friends or enjoy the big campfire next to it. The Shake Out Lounge has a tv, free wifi and free books to borrow. There is a bathhouse with toilets and showers. There are 2 locations to obtain firewood on the campground. They also sell ice. There is not a store on site, but a short drive up the road there is a general & grocery store that also sells fresh made sandwiches. There are cabins to rent. The cabins are tucked in the trees and are very cozy. The cabin we stayed in on one of our visits, had a queen bed, kitchen area and bathroom with a shower. Plenty of trees to hang a hammock, as well. Some of the cabins overlook the beautiful lake. The lake is perfect for swimming in and has a dock and life jackets for campers use. The gravel/dirt road getting to the lake is steep, so I recommend walking down to the lake. Fishing is allowed with a permit in the lake. There are hiking trails and dogs are welcome at the campground. Overall, a great campground for individuals, friends and families.

      Three Springs Campground

      Nothing fancy

      Pros: natural setting, clean bathrooms Cons: unlevel campsites, no sewer hookups, self-check in, outdated, non-air conditioned bathrooms, no laundry facilities

      Zilpo Campground

      Great semi rustic

      Stayed at cabin D11. Nicely maintained.  A bit on the small side but good for a place to lay your head. This cabin is directly opposite the restrooms for this loop. Cabin is about 10 x 20. The front room has two chairs a bench and table and the air conditioner. The second room has four single bunk beds.

      The grounds around the cabin are nice with gravel area for setting up an outdoor kitchen or tent or lounge chairs.

      Twin Knobs Recreation Area

      Hidden Gem

      We've stayed at Twin Knobs twice now in our popup camper. First time was at F26, second was at F24. We love how the outer loop sites have such quick access to the water.

      Both sites are shaded very well and the sites themselves are huge. We could see other campers through the trees but we felt pretty well secluded.

      Each site has several tall poles with hooks for trash bags/food storage. as well each site has a large fire pit with flip-over grill for cooking.

      The firewood bundles are a bit pricey ($7) at the checkin shack, but I'm glad they are available. we purchased at least 7 bundles to have a pretty much constant fire through the day and night.

      The bathrooms are clean and easily accessible. There was a bit of an overflow issue our first day on site but it was resolved in less than an hour by the loop hosts.

      Pop's bbq was a hit both nights we were there. We ordered carryout (covid) and ate at camp on the provided picnic tables. The Dollar General is also adequately stocked.

      All in all a fantastic visit which we will repeat ASAP. it's too bad they close at the end of October. I bet winter camping there would be a treat.

      Cheers,

      Chris

      Lago Linda Hideaway

      Hideaway says it all

      First impression was not your typical campground. This is a climbers haven, so expect to see a lot of “down to earth”, modern “hippie” types in their converted/or not vans.

      There are limited 30 amp sites and several sites with electric. Lazy Oaks and Piney are in the trees, Cardinal which is good for larger RVs is in the field , no shade. Then there are two wide open fields where you can set up wherever you please and a new area under construction as of Fall 2019. They are also constructing a new showerhouse. I spoke with the office ladies and they are pretty flexible with accommodating campers. The trails on site are being cleared. And there is breakfast for guests on certain mornings and a “shack” and pavilion for all to use. I stayed in the red roof cabin which was small but pretty awesome. Full kitchen, bathroom, gas fireplace heater and loft w/three beds. Then there’s the porch overlooking the little lake. There are several cabins of varying size to rent, one with a HOT TUB! Definitely worth a visit. Natural Bridge State Park is nearby as well as several adventure based businesses.

      Cummins Ferry RV Park, Campground on the Kentucky River

      Cute but small

      We decided to go down for a weekend to see how we'd like it. It's situated high up on the Kentucky river bank which is nice but there's little access to the riverbank except from the floating dock and boat ramp. When we arrived there was left overs from the previous flood which made it very muddy. It's definitely dog friendly but with no trails to really walk them on. We found a game trail that took us down to the riverbank at the end of the campground and found a goat hanging in a tree from the previous flooding. Perfect campground for partiers who don't respect quiet hours and those who stay at their camper the whole time.

      Zilpo Campground

      Amazing experience !

      Took my son on a 3 day trip and stayed on site G17. It was on a high place with great drainage (it rained quite a few times). Well kept and the tent pad was gravel. The bath house had good hot water for showers, and for its age, very well kept. We took our jon boat out on the lake and had a blast! The scenery was breathtaking, from the drive up the mountain to the park, all the way down to the lake. Great fall trip to say the least. Very much recommended

    Guide to Winchester

    Central Kentucky offers diverse cabin and yurt camping options within reach of Winchester. The terrain features the unique Knobs region with elevations between 900-1300 feet, providing cooler summer temperatures than surrounding lowlands. Campgrounds in this area connect visitors to the Kentucky River, Cave Run Lake, and Red River Gorge systems where water activities complement hiking and climbing opportunities.

    What to do

    Hiking nearby: Red River Gorge features extensive trail systems accessible from campgrounds. "If you're a sight seeing, hiking, biking, camping enthusiast, this is a must see!" notes Justin W. about Zilpo Campground. Many trails lead to scenic overlooks with 100+ mile visibility on clear days.

    Swimming options: Several campgrounds offer water access for cooling off. At Twin Knobs Recreation Area, "you camp on rock sites so it drains great if it rains. The sites are kinda secluded from one another by tree and bush lines... There is a camp store, beach and boat ramp," explains Kellie Dawn T.

    Rock climbing: The sandstone formations attract climbers year-round. "The Red River Gorge area, nearby to several glamping sites, offers world-class rock climbing and scenic hiking trails," with many routes rated for beginners through experts within 15-30 minute drives from major campgrounds.

    What campers like

    Spacious, private sites: Many visitors appreciate the seclusion between campsites. At Cummins Ferry RV Park, "our sites overlooked the river and we loved the walking trails along the river! We had kids that fished and played in the playground and sat by the fire every night!" reports Maison H.

    Waterfront access: Campers consistently mention water views as highlights. Elizabeth C. describes Zilpo Campground as a "great spot right on the water," while Vince B. adds it's "one of my wife and I favorite spot! Great campground with great views of lake and easy way to the beach."

    Yurt accommodations: Yurt camping near Winchester, Kentucky offers a comfortable alternative to tent camping. At HomeGrown HideAways, one visitor shared, "We stayed at the Yome, and it was perfect for our family of four. Instead of sleeping in it, which would have been perfectly comfortable, we actually used it as more of an extra shelter and we pitched out tents in the field in front of the Yome."

    What you should know

    Seasonal considerations: While many campgrounds remain open year-round, services may be limited in winter. "We stayed June 5th through June 9th and it rained every day, a lot. Our campsite (A-30) drained the rain off really well," notes Karen P. about Twin Knobs, highlighting the importance of site selection during wet seasons.

    Reservation requirements: Peak season (May-October) often requires advance booking. Many sites fill 3-6 months ahead for summer weekends, especially those with water access or hookups.

    Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely between campgrounds. At Red River Gorge Adventures, visitors note "no cell service, which is all a plus in my opinion," while other properties maintain wifi hotspots.
