The DL FAQ

  • Do you provide extra cots and bedding?

    Yes! Please let us know prior to your arrival if you’ll need extra cots. If you are using one of our cots or fold-down couches, you need to bring your own linens for it. Any of the regular beds will be fully turned over with fresh linens for you.

  • Can you smoke on the property?

    ALL of our structures, including The Birdbath are NON-SMOKING. Please smoke outside and discard your butts in the buckets or safely in the trash after extinguishing fully. A $50 cleaning charge will be charged if there's any evidence of smoking inside

  • Is there a bathroom in the tent?

    No, we have a fully on-grid bath house that has individual bathrooms with a shower, sink, and toilet. Make sure to bring towels, soap, and anything you'd need to enjoy getting sudsy out in nature.

  • Do the tents have electricity?

    Yes! Each tent has several outlets, a fan, and a gas or electric fireplace.

  • Do the tents have heat?

    Each tent has a fireplace that keeps the tent cozy and warm! Some tents have gas fireplaces and others have electric fireplaces.

  • Is there drinking water available?

    Yes, outside of each tent there is a red hydrant you can draw safe drinking water from!

  • What should I do for food?

    • If you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own food at your tent site! There is a large 65qt RTIC cooler on the porch of your tent.

    • Please keep any food items off of the floor of the tent and bagged up when possible, this is the woods, so if mice smell food they'll find a way to it!

    • There are lots of great restaurants in Red River Gorge! You can review our Guest Book for a list of our recommended restaurants.

  • Does my tent have a fire pit?

    Not every tent has a private fire pit. All guests are welcome to use the firepit in Main Camp, next to the gazebo, and the fire pit across the road from the Birdbath.
