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, four year\-old Aurora, and baby Arthur\. 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, coral, and relics of an age when Plantasia was the ocean floor \(~250 million years ago\)\. 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 \(Brushy Fork for a relaxing stroll, or pick your trail at the Pinnacles for a big majestic hike\)\. As well, Owsley Fork Reservoir, 15 minutes away, functions as a gorgeous mountain lake to fish, kayak, or canoe\. ## Key facts - Check-in: 2:00pm - Check-out: 11:00am - Coordinates: 37.48949, -84.22097 ## Address Mount Vernon, KY, US ## Amenities - Cabin - Canoeing - Cliff - Creek - Drinking\_water - Farm - Fire\_pit - Fires - Firewood - Forest - Hiking - Hill - Lake - Meadow - Mountain - Ocean - Picnic Table - Picnic\_table - Potable Water - Prairie - Rainforest - River - Rock\_climbing - Stream - Tent - Tent\_camping - Toilets - Trash - Trash\_disposal - Valley - Waterfall - Wifi - Wildlife Watching - Wildlife\_viewing ## Structured data (schema.org) Also available as raw JSON: http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/plantasia-forest-homestead-camp-mount-vernon-ky.json ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Campground", "@id": "http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/listings/campgrounds/plantasia-forest-homestead-camp-mount-vernon-ky", "name": "Plantasia Forest Homestead and Camp", "description": "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 tent platform is located on a hill that's kind of in the woods, but overlooks a field. We loved waking up and listening to the birdsongs in the morning! It rained the night we stayed, but the platform is big enough that no rain hit the tent - so no wet gear. The campsite had a sink with running water and a picnic table. Best of all - this spot is like a 5 min walk to the Anglin Falls trailhead. The trail was a moderate hike with a big reward and would be great for children.

Phil and his sweet family made us feel so welcome, including Bella the puppy and Pinky and Whitey the kittens (who made sure we had companionship during our stay 🥰). We arrived to find a vase of flowers and a basket of seasonal produce picked straight from Plantasia, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The firewood we ordered was waiting for us under the platform along with some kindling they gathered. We rented their tent, which sat inside a screened-in porch and made setup a breeze. The hand-built outhouse was absolutely adorable (never thought I say that 😂) and located just downhill and across the footbridge from our camp. The sink and potable water from a fresh spring at our site helped ensure a very comfortable stay. We cooked dinner over the supplied fire grate in the evening, and their solar-powered lights added so much charm to the experience. The site is conveniently located just a few-minutes walk from Anglin Falls and only a short drive from the Pinnacles and Berea. We couldn’t recommend the campsite or the hosts enough, and we will definitely be back!" }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maddy C." }, "datePublished": "March 14, 2024", "reviewBody": "Really special place.

I had a bit of a rough day - or maybe month - and the greeting I received upon arriving at Plantasia from Sweet Sacha, Bella the dog, & Pinky the cat warmed me to the core. I was just expecting a dry convenient place to tent camp for a night when I pulled up at sunset, but was met with a warm spirit, a hot cup of tea, some much needed animal snuggles, and a chat by the fire [[ lit easily from the provided bundle of wood made optional during checkout ;) ]]. The sunrise/sunset action here is top notch too :) I'll aim to land here again as I wasn't able to explore the surrounding area, but can tell it's well worth giving time to.

If not, THE BEST! Phil and his little family are the sweetest/kindest individuals I’ve had the blessing of meeting during my adventures so far. Everything was perfect! I cannot stress enough that the outhouse is SO CUTE! Along with the entire site! All of it was put together with so much care and thoughtfulness for functionality, and the aesthetic is *chefs kiss* Waking up to excited ducks making their way to the spring, a sweetheart of a kitty companion, the dawn chorus starting the morning with their song! It was all truly wonderful! The butterflies had just started to come out with the warm weather and lots of critters starting to move about. The start of blooming wildflowers everywhere and owls singing their hearts out at night. This whole stay was magical! I could go on and on! We definitely will be visiting again very soon. Truly so thankful we had the privilege of enjoying our weekend of relaxing here🏕️❤️" } ] } ``` [robots.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/robots.txt) · [llms.txt](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/llms.txt) · [sitemap](http://ssr-app-zpimxgrglq-uc.a.run.app/sitemap_index.xml)
