About this property

Bluejay's Nest-Lux Camping Tent in the Gorge️

Summary:
**Brand new tent and furniture!** Nestled right in Red River Gorge Kentucky, this tent has been newly remodeled specifically to make camping feel luxurious, easy, and relaxing! Our cozy glamping tents are thick enough to ensure that you stay nice and cozy, but allow light to diffuse throughout the whole tent.

Our goal is to make outdoor retreats accessible to as many folks as possible - we'd love to host you.

The Space:
Surrounded by over 50 acres of national forest, including countless onsite activities and local attractions, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the adventure you want during the day and return to comfortable, cozy lodging at night.

🏕 Important: Towels are NOT provided at this time

Tent #5 (Bluejay) Ease-of-access Notes:
- This tent pairs incredibly well with The Green Heron's Nest (A queen and twin bed) right next door!
- The Bluejay is a very short walk from the bathhouse. All you have to do is take a short walk and cross the driveway!
- We estimate the walk to take 30 to 45 seconds

This space includes:
- Brand new tent and furniture
- 1 Queen Bed
- 1 Twin Bed
- Gas Fireplace
- Privacy Flaps
- Private sitting area
- Cots Available (must bring your own pillows and blanket)
- Large 65qt Cooler (must bring your own ice)

Camping in Red River Gorge has never been so easy, luxurious, OR cozy! If you're hoping for a unique, incredibly cool stay, visit and see all that our 50-acre woods have to offer!

** Our tents are semi-off-grid, which means no plumbing or water inside, however, there is electricity, heating, lights, and water from an outdoor spigot. We also have a fully on-grid bathhouse with septic, electricity, and instant hot water**

The Neighborhood:
On most of the 50 acres, you won't see anything man-made. This creates a fully immersive experience for you. Also, you’ll be on privately owned property with designated hiking trails (map included); please hike, explore, and allow yourself to be free!

* There are other guests that you’ll be sharing the 50 acres with, so don’t free yourself completely, if you know what we mean *

The property also has tons of natural features. The tents sit atop a giant horseshoe of cliff-edges; as you explore, you’ll find sweeping, scenic views of our valley, a waterfall, natural rock overhangs, creeks, and acres more of wildlife!
If you need to get off-property and want to do some fun, local activities, we’re within minutes of local attractions like world-class climbing and hiking, ziplining, underground kayaking (yeah, you heard us), horseback riding, and so many more things! Not to mention all of the wonderful local restaurants you can visit -- don’t worry, we’ve sampled them all and have listed our top 5 in the guestbook and on our website.

If you aren't familiar with Red River Gorge and the surrounding areas, don’t worry -- we'll send you a list of our favorite off-site activities. We want your time away to be extraordinary!

  • This is sky bridge. The most massive arch in Red River. it spans over a hundred feet and about 50 feet in the air. Probably the most famous arch in Red River, it has been seen in movies. Many astro-photographers flock here because of it's  structure and clear skyline. If you get a chance, the trail is only .8 miles and very much worth it. You first walk across the top of the arch, it is so big that you are halfway across before you notice your not just on a narrow rock path. then you circle around to be under the arch.

Such a great time!

The Bluejays Nest was such a fun stay! The tent was beautifully decorated and exactly as described. The bed was so comfortable. The grounds were well maintained. The ultimate in comfort camping at an extremely reasonable price. The trails were well maintained. The grounds were quiet. The bird bath(restrooms) were easy to access and clean. My only wish was that our trip was longer. We had the best time and will definitely be back.
