I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. I have lived elsewhere twice, but keep coming back. I'm a video editor and freelance writer who enjoys watching people wearing University of Louisville uniforms excel at sports, scaling the faces of large rocks, and hanging out with my border collie/laborador/cattle dog mutt thingy that I have.
If you find yourself driving through the rural and winding country roads of Wolfe County, surrounded by the natural beauty of Daniel Boone National Forest, you may not assume that any delicious restaurants are hiding just around the corner. Red River Rockhouse in Campton is a hidden culinary gem that pops up on a rural country road, and you definitely need to stop there.
Red River Rockhouse is located at 4000 KY-11, Campton, KY 41301.
