Nestled right next to Red River Gorge Kentucky, this tent has been designed specifically to make camping feel luxurious, easy, and relaxing! Our luxury 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 \- NO private fire pit \- The max occupancy of this tent is 5 people with a cot added. If you have special circumstances or want to bring more, please reach out to us directly at team@dappledlightadventures.com after booking Tent #2 (Blue Heron) Ease-of-access Notes: \- This tent pairs well with The Whippoorwill's Nest (king bed), which is just down the hill, OR The Vireo's Nest (2 full beds) on the opposite side! \- The Blue Heron is a short walk, or drive, from the bathhouse. You will have to go uphill on the way back \- We estimate the walk to take around 30 seconds to 1 minute This space includes: \- 2 Queen Bed \- 1 Sleeper Sofa (must supply your own pillows and blankets) \- Privacy Flaps \- Private sitting area \- Large 65qt Cooler (must bring your own ice) \- Cots Available (must supply your own pillows and blankets) Additional amenities include: \- Private Front Porch \- Canopy Views \- On-site Bathhouse (with toilet, sink, and hot shower) \- Outdoor Nets to climb/play on \- Electricity! \- Private firepit \- Outdoor Water Spigot (for drinking water) Camping in Red River Gorge has never been so easy, luxurious, OR cozy!

Please note that our new event space, The Rookery, is reserved exclusively for guests who have booked the entire property. \*\* 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!

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. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/3000438942/c8996b98-b1e5-4d7b-86a8-a27361603196.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Red River Gorge Geological Area 18 min drive \- 22.4 km - ![Fishing with my boy Cave Run Lake near Scott's Creek Marina](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248635976197506/1acdbf12-7015-4a04-a3c2-7f1038350e98.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Cave Run Lake 56 min drive \- 72.1 km - Cliffview Recreational Preserve 5 min walk \- 0.4 km - Kentucky Reptile Zoo 18 min drive \- 24.4 km ### Restaurants - Red River Rockhouse 11 min drive - Redpoint Bbq 8 min drive - Hop’s 10 min drive - Billy's Place 10 min drive - Lee County Recreation Center 8 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Blue Heron's Nest - Glamping Tent in the Gorge pet-friendly? ### How much does it cost to stay at Blue Heron's Nest - Glamping Tent in the Gorge? ### What time is check-in at Blue Heron's Nest - Glamping Tent in the Gorge? ### What time is check-out at Blue Heron's Nest - Glamping Tent in the Gorge? ## Have a question?

May 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Convenient Glamping close to all Red River Gorge activities We had a fantastic first glamping experience at Red River Gorge! The large tent was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable—perfect for our family. The kids especially loved the spider web playground on the property, which kept them happily entertained. The location was ideal, just minutes from all the fun and adventure at Red River Gorge. This spot made it easy to enjoy the outdoors while still having the comforts of home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to try glamping in a beautiful, convenient setting! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d3451bb-ebab-44bc-be84-a8ca93e3c1f4-1746553797300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Diana G.
