Campton

Campton occupies a small valley among the wooded ridges of Kentucky’s Cumberland Plateau. As the seat of Wolfe County, it is a practical base for the Red River Gorge area, where the Red River has cut through sandstone to reveal cliffs, arches and rock shelters. Much of this rugged country lies within Daniel Boone National Forest, a landscape associated with hiking, climbing and quiet back-road travel. South of town, Natural Bridge State Resort Park protects its namesake sandstone arch and provides another established route into the plateau terrain. Campton remains a small county-seat community at the meeting point of roads leading into the forest.
