Goldenrod Gap is a refuge nestled in the mountains of eastern Kentucky, minutes from Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, Cave Run Lake, Broke Leg Falls Park and the Sheltowee Trace Trail.
CAMPSITES are easily accessed from the highway and include water, electricity and high speed internet. We offer several sites for camping. There is electrical hookup, city water and an RV dump station. There are primitive campsites on top of the ridge to the left of the butterfly trail with an outhouse nearby.
The entrance access to camp is limited to shorter trailers, camper vans and campers or RVs under 25 feet long.
Please drop in after a long days journey on the trails, cliffs or a day on the lake and enjoy a respite from the hustle and bustle of the world out there. Pitch a tent and sleep under a clear bed of stars, which will produce a glorious display, especially if you are viewing from the ridge line and if you are lucky you might hear a whippoorwill trill.

Trails
Mushroom
The mushroom Loop trail starts to the right of the unfinished gray shower house and continues up the hill, steep for a bit, but worth the effort. You will be surrounded by many old growth trees, flowers and nice moss covered rocks. It levels off at the top. You will continue your stroll downward walking through a he meadow and past two rustic campsites and the outhouse if needed.
Butterfly
The butterfly trail is the end of the mushroom trail. It is a loop trail and begins to the right of the garage and straight up the hill. It is a steep climb from the beginning. It is a bit more strenuous climb that levels off a bit at the top. It continues around to the left and ends to the right of the gray shower house. You will see many white pine seedlings and pretty big rocks. How many holly trees you find?
Frog
Hop on the frog trail to the right of the bridge entrance. You will walk along the creek. It is a cool stroll with a lot of nice wildlife. It ends at the lady bug sign. You can cross over the creek and stroll through the meadow beside the creek as well.
