Lago Linda Hideaway

Lago Linda was the absolute best place to stay. They did an absolutely wonderful job hosting over 200 people for the adaptive climbers festival and they helped throw us an unforgettable wedding!! Kudos to the lago Linda staff for being the absolute best hosts with the most amazing campsite.

Beautiful lake for swimming and fishing, great rural campground with decent bathhouse. Very welcoming and friendly hosts who try their best to accommodate everyone’s needs, nice to have the cafe with food at all mealtimes available. Would recommend!

We had a fantastic time staying for 5 days at Lago Linda Hideaway! Most campgrounds in the area are first come first served, but our group had seven people with 3-4 vehicles and a travel trailer coming from three different states on a holiday weekend so we preferred to reserve our sites to assure we could be close together. Unfortunately, a turn in the weather caused a few people in our group to cancel, but despite the weather, the remaining members of our group had a great time hanging out at camp and driving into Red River Gorge to climb and hike. The owners and staff were super friendly and helpful. We were able to switch sites easily (and we reimbursed the difference) since we had a smaller group. The cafe/store had ice cream, water, snacks, ice, firewood and served meals at a reasonable price. We used the Shakeout Shack and pavilion quite a bit to cook, play board games and hide from the rain. We also took advantage of the laundry room to wash our wet clothes after getting drenched, but when the clouds cleared there was plenty to keep us occupied right at camp. We brought our inflatable paddle boards but it was a haul for us to bring them down the slope to the lake. If staying at one of the lakeside cabins, we definitely would have taken the time to use them. Instead, a couple from our group borrowed kayaks available for use at the dock. On Saturday night we ate food we bought at the cafe and listened to live music on the deck. The showers and restrooms were decent but I think it would be a bonus to have another restroom or pit toilets near sites #1, 2 and 3, because it's a long walk to the bathhouses. I definitely recommend this campground to anyone visiting the Red River Gorge or even just wanting a nice retreat from home.

Spent the long weekend camping here with my partner for our rock climbing trip to the RRG, and we couldn't say enough wonderful things about Lago Linda.
The location is quiet, clean, beautiful and the perfect spot to take refuge after a day of hiking and climbing. The showers are free (yes the water is hot), there's a little shack called the "Shakeout Lounge" you can hang out in if the weather isn't cooperating and the owners/staff running this place are incredibly friendly and helpful. There's a nice selection of home cooked meals throughout the day if you don't feel like cooking, and it's a perfect distance from lots of sight seeing areas.
We'll definitely be back!
