About

Bell Farm Horse Camp is located off Road 1363 in McCreary County and is a popular place for wagon train riders who come to "rest a spell." In the early 1900s, this area was a logging and mining town. In the 1930s, it transitioned into a Civilian Conservation Corps camp. Rock Creek, a Kentucky Wild River, runs alongside the camp. The camp features five group campsites suitable for 10-15 people per site. All sites have fire rings, picnic tables, lantern posts and tent pads. Stock water can be collected from Rock Creek.
