McKee, Kentucky

Beautiful campground that is extremely well taken care of! Designed so that all can enjoy War Fork Creek with day use areas along the creek and camping up on the hill.
Sites are small.... just large enough for car & tent camping! You might get by with a small tent camper if you can find the right campsite.... only a few would accommodate this. NO LARGE VEHICLES
Word of caution ⚠️ this campground is extremely busy on the weekends, holidays and during the summer.

I'll bet that ranger would have happily taken all the trash you had collected. I know you do it because it's the right thing to do, but it's also SUCH a great example. Well done, sir.
Saturday morning with Carrie and Dave. All is well with the world. :)
Hi, I changed morning to night in my comment as I get to see them at night in India.
Thank you! Glad we get to share with you!
OMG - footage of Roodle sleeping with the "go to sleep" lullaby music cracked me up! That just made my day! Great video as always. Keep them coming!
Thank you! I seem to be having a hard time catching anything on my trail camera but I knew I could get roodle! His sleeping section is one of my favorite too!
Good job guys in taking care of the campground and future tenant. If more people were like you, you wouldn't have anything to do!
Fantastic that you all picked up trash at the campsite. A little bit of effort goes a long way. A salute to like-minded people, we make the outdoors a better place.
Yes agreed!
This channel should be over a hundred thousand by now. I plug your channel at every opportunity 😁. A great place and an even better video. Always a thumbs up 👍
I agree! I think this little kept secret channel will shortly explode. It's to good to not have at least 100,000 subscribers. It's definitely my favorite by far!
I agree as well. We always look forward to the videos!
They're not over 100k yet cuz they don't post pics of them topless or with thongs taking outside showers or bed butt shots with their back doors open. lol There vids are not sensationalized for views or thumbs. No fake emergency, fake horror or "is van life over" videos here. They will get there tho, they are quality vids & wholesome people (& dog)🚐👫🐩
@@FEARNoMore I think this reply will give them ideas and future inspiration for future videos 🤔
@@Scrambler85 hahaha Since Carrie is the professional photographer, Dave's gotta find flattering bikini bottoms for the bed shot.😆
I Have lived here in Mckee KY.. my Whole life , was raised here and now I'm raising my kids here, we go down turkey foot often, I live right on top of the hill where u charged your solar panels ❤.. I hope you all enjoyed your trip here , & I wished more people would leave the campground clean and nice the way you all did.. God bless you all..❤
Just beautiful. Love the underwater shots. So relaxing!
Yes. How did you move the camera under water? It did not seem hand-held. Very cool!
Thank you! We also liked the underwater shots! They turned out so cinematic! I used our GoPro 7 attached o a floating handle. It floated perfectly downstream with the natural current.

@@oneadVANtureatatime I seen a dog face in one of the rocks-what a grand idea! I thought for sure you were snorkeling with the camera to get all those scenic shots. Well done. Love that Roodle❣️🙋
Watch you weather.. Watch for snakes! Yikes! I see this was a nonvenomous, but freaked me out! No Roodle Commercials!! He's a special doggo!! Thank you for your dedication to ethical camping!!
Thank you! Roodle got a lullaby this video! The Roodle song is never to far away!
We are taking a page out of your book and cleaning up camp area's or beach area's when ever we camp. Thanks for putting the word out. And thanks for sharing your videos 😀😀👍👍
Thank you! This is exactly what we hope to inspire with others!
You got me with the skipping rocks from the other end.
The few extra things y'all do is awesome.
Thank you so much for making the park's clean.
Awesome pictures, Carrie.
It's our pleasure! We hope the camp cleanups become contagious 😎
Omg! I love how thoughtful you both are for the next camper. We need more of that in the world.
We are hoping to spread the desire to keep these camp locations clean and free.
What a beautiful campground with Roodles enjoying it so much. Dave, you are selfless in picking up other people's trash to leave the place cleaner than before.
Another great video from my favorite van life family!! I love how you're able to enjoy the beauty of God's creation just as my wife and I do. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with all of us. Blessings!!
Thank you! We love the natural beauty of the great outdoors! I am constantly in awe of Gods Creation!!!
Carrie - your photography skills are awesome. Thank you for your Land Stewardship and sharing to others what this means. Whenever you show Roodle, my Aussiepoo is glued to the TV. I thought she was going to run along with Roodle trying to get the skipping rocks. Safe Travels
Thank you! I am really enjoying playing and growing my photography skills!
Roodle is getting quite the animal fan club including a few cats!
Love your vids. You always show us where to go and enjoy your area without all the touristy stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We sometimes just have to check out the touristy stuff.......... but our true love is Mother Nature untouched!
When skipping rocks was a thing like it was for me and my generation, the world was much simpler and less stressful because we didn’t watch tv or listen to the news! Roodle looked so comfortable! Thank you for your work providing us some wonderful adventures! One day we will meet you in our own van if we ever graduate from our current situation! 🤙 Oh and at 18:07 mins into the video, Sonja says the clump of seaweed in your underwater video looks like Roodle! I totally agree! 😁
Are growing up in a very small town without cell phones and electricity.... you find other ways to entertain yourself!
Thank you so much for picking up all that trash. You have inspired me, and I hope a lot of campers to do the same. Wonderful thing you did!
Watching this on my 42” TV via my Roku and my cat, Artie, started trying to catch the rocks y’all were skipping through the water - hilarious. Artie loves watching my favorite CZcams families with me, especially the ones with dogs he can try and catch, lol.
That is too stinking cute!
You get double entertainment!!!
@@oneadVANtureatatime yes, it’s hilarious
Another beautiful spot. Loved the roodle sleepy time too cute. HAPPY TRAILS
It really was! Roodle is too stinking cute!
Carrie, if you haven't started a van life recepie book🤦
All your meals look so delicious
Thank you! I’ll add a cookbook to my to-do list!
I can’t believe that you don’t have more subscribers? You both provide educational information that everyone can enjoy.
Loved your interview with Chrome a few years ago in the Maritimes where I reside. 🤣 funny.
They don't fake emergency situations or fake quitting van life videos or fake topless thumbnails. So like the Russo's or Traveling Robert or Fit RV, it will take longer for them.
It was fun hanging out with Chrome and Cruz!!
@@oneadVANtureatatime I just made a comment on VanCity VanLife about watching him, you, and foresty forest as the three van lifers who I WATCH BECAUSE YOU DON’Y SELL YOUR SOUL OUT TO ADVERTISERS AND BRAND DEALS, YOU ARE AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE.
I'm so glad you stashed the wood! We've seen so many people drive through and take wood and leave...people who were not even camping! So, that's a great idea to stash it so people driving by don't see it. Love your ideas of cleaning it and make it better!!!!! We can't wait to try your recipe. That looks yummy! This video was so much fun. Absolutely loved it.
Yes! Wood is the first thing to go!
@ 6:37 Do it again Roodle!
LOL Rudle's lullaby! You guts rock! 👍🐾🇨🇦🌲🌳🦅🏊♀️
Y'all are so nice. I was suprised to find you in my home state. I was just in McKee yesterday. There are many arches and waterfalls to see. I hope you made it to horse country. It is really beautiful too.
Very nice home state, Sarah! We were right there in Mckee! 😂 We had not heard much about Kentucky so this was a pleasant surprise. So much to explore without the tourist. I think we did drive through horse country...giant houses with large green pastures and fancy fences? We took the back roads and had a great time looking at the farms and the style of the houses.
Thank you for cleaning up the natural areas. By the way your dog is way cool !
Love Roodle in his bed.❤️❤️❤️really miss my old Labrador’s still 15 and 14 years was good ages😢yes looks very much like coal awesome to burn last a long time.
Thanks for teaching us how to make that gravy! Yum Yum
Good spot for a kilt!
+George Bortnick ummm... you know who taught us how to make that gravy!!
+George Bortnick we really should have credited Sona! Sorry...we will do better next time!
No, no ,no! Our secret and glad you like it. What happened to the kilt.
Dave Much Respect on picking up other peoples trash 😎👍🏼
Skipping Rocks i miss Doing that
That was fun watching you and Carrie.
And the fire wood is a fun idea i hope you continue Doing that.
Have a great Day!

ROODLE !!!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 love the Mohawks !! all 3 💚💚💚💚💚
Fabulous photography as usual! Fun to catch up with you on occasion as we are doing our own 4 month summer tour. Just left the fantastic Lamoille canyon in the Ruby Mountains of Northern Nevada so off grid a lot of the time! Keep up the good work! You set the standard for the rest of us! We always leave our camp site spotless but aren't quite as diligent as you for cleaning up the entire campground! We'll have to expand our efforts!!
The Ruby mountains must have been an amazing place to explore! We want to spend some time in Northern Nevada. Thank you for keeping a clean campsite! We have revisiting at couple of our campsites to find them exceptionally clean...We like to think it's our viewers that come try out these locations and are the ones keeping them clean. 😎
Pretty cool place. I loved the underwater shots. The trick of putting up a small tent to save your spot is a cool trick I have used for years. I really love the editing. I dont know snakes so I'll leave that to the experts. Lol. Great video.
Thank you! A super bright tent seems to do the trick! Thank you! We also liked the underwater shots! They turned out so cinematic! I used our GoPro 7 attached o a floating handle. It floated perfectly downstream with the natural current.
@@oneadVANtureatatime It was pretty awesome. Can't wait to see where you take us next.😊
We missed you by a week. We just got home from a three day trip and our JoJo would have loved to meet Roodles. Interesting fact about the creek. Just down from the campsite the creek drops thru a hole and flows underground for about a mile. A local told me that years ago, before the hole enlarged, there was a whirlpool where the water dropped into the hole.
Right on Paul! We did see where the creek dropped down underground! It would have been fun to meet you and JOJO 😎
Just want to say that you two, and of course the wonderful Roodle, are so informative and entertaining. We are now starting out on the beginning of our own vanlife journey (part-time for now) and we have learned so much about all the great places we want to visit from you. We've even started watching your videos from the beginning so as not to miss anything.
Great job Carrie, Dave, and most definitely Roodle 😄
Congratulations on starting your Journey! We just know you will love these locations as much as we do. We hope to meet you on the road. 😎
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thank you! We'd love to meet you one day. Stay safe!
I would take my kids there in the spring to catch and cook crawdads. That's wasn18 years ago. Still pristine
Omg, that Roodle sleepy-time footage was priceless! He sure did tucker himself out. Lol.
Expert rock skipping. Omg! the Roodle can was everything.
Lou & Angie
I loved watching him sleep! He is so cute!!
My husband and I love Kentucky lake. Beautiful there
Possibly an Eastern Red Water Snake, I used to catch them as a kid. The "charcoal" was bituminous, or, soft coal, likely a seam nearby or the fuel remnants of a steam engine that was once nearby.
Thank you!
We aren’t too far from that area. Thanks for sharing! We will check it out sometime (after summertime like you suggested).
You made Kentucky look great. So peaceful. My sixth grade teacher and good friend is from McKee so he will enjoy this one. Great job as always. Stay safe.
That is so cool Dennis!
So excited to wake up and watch our favorite you tubers only this time we're doing it from our camper on BLM land!! We did it!! We're one week out as full timers with very few regrets. We've learned a lot from your videos and want you to know that you make a difference for others out there!! Loved watching Roodle playing in the water!!
Congrats on making your dreams come true. Happy travels.
@@lorih4392 wow!! Thank you!
Congratulations! That is awesome! I call our regrets lessons! 😂😂After 3 years we are still learning!! hope to meet you on the road! What are your summer plans!
@@oneadVANtureatatime absolutely would love to cross paths with you sometime on the road! No fixed ideas yet on summer plans except for some family visits that are sending us northwest.
Saturday night with Carrie and Dave and all is well with the world. I agree with the person who wrote the comment just before me. I love watching the two of you and smile often hearing you both. You make a really sweet couple👫. I have a soft corner for people who think about others . The camp spot and specially wading in the creek looked appealing. Thanks and have fun🤣😝😜
Thank you so much!!
Love your dog and you nice folks! Great video and camera work as always! You find some wonderful places! Take Care!
Thank you!
That snake is a common water snake (non venomous). There are cottonmouths in Western Kentucky.
Underwater shots were really good. Love your videos
Thank you!
Great underwater camera work!
I really enjoy your vibe. It seems like *you*, not trying to seem some way. Roodle going to bed was ADORBZ. I really appreciate that underwater footage. Is that your sensibilities, Kerry? Great job on the trash man. Look forward to the next video. Cheers guys.
Thank you! What you see is what you get.... sometimes I think we must be so boring! I love underwater shots but this time I mounted the GoPro to a floating handle and sent it downstream! The result was done epic cinematic underwater footage.... I was a happy girl!!
I said “Roodle will sleep good tonight“ and then Dave said it. Lol. 😊🐶😍 Love that you pick up the trash and think of others! Mostly love your attitude about it. You guys are the best!!!!!
I would love to follow in your footsteps. Maybe you could have something fun if someone stays at a spot where you were they Take a photo and tag you in Instagram, And they get a sticker or something? Idk could be a fun game etc.??
How do you get the poison ivy oil off Roodle? Does the oil transfer onto the bedding, etc in the van? Feel better soon Dave!
Roodle LOVED it there! I have to limit him on how much he chases rocks.... if I don’t his feet get sore! We wipe him down with a wet wipe to get poison ivy/oak oils off him. I have also used witch hazel and a paper towel. Not sure if it actually helps 🤷♀️ but it makes us feel better!
I love your idea about posting a picture of the same spot we camped at!
My husband and I live watching your videos. Thank you for being so thoughtful. Hope to see you all one day in our travels :)
We love meeting people on the road! If you are driving a van Dave will be knocking at your door to say hi!
We have a 2010 model 175, but Dave can come info anyways!! We are in GA and hoping to travel all the time in 7 years!! You all are awesome
Oops RPOD
What a beautiful area! Thanks for sharing and caring!
The video you shot under water was worth a hearty thumbs up...👍🏽
No biscuits from scratch to go with the egg and sausage gravy??? that was an Eastern Banded Water Snake, it is non-poisonous, a constrictor, eats frogs, fish. They usually are aggressive and will bite if you try to pick them up......😄 Safe travels Dave, Carrie and Roodle!!!
Thanks for the snake info! It scared me while I was getting my underwater shots. I turned around and it swam right by the camera.... when I followed it downstream ie took a defensive stance on top of the water as if to say “back off” and I did!!!
@@oneadVANtureatatime Beware of Cotton Mouths, Copperheads and Eastern Diamond Back Rattle snakes....interesting fact about rattle snakes, they don't always rattle before they bite either...I would advise you to brush up on First Aid for snake bites and get an anti-venom kit if you can afford one...especially in those areas where there are no cell coverage. At least know where the closest Ranger Station is, they'll have a snake bite kit for emergencies. Even non-poisonous snakes can make you sick from the bacteria in their mouths, so at least have a first aid kit and hydrogen peroxide available to clean those kinds of bites.
Wonderful breakfast meal. Watched this morning and had to make it. Keep up the good work. Your recipes are very good. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you so much! I am surprised how good this gravy is!!
I loved the underwater scene with the music it was so peaceful, and yes that was coal. thanks for sharing, I will definitely have to check it out.
Wonderful video! Such beautiful clear water. Excellent rock skipping! Roodle is so dang cute!!! Thank you for picking up the trash and keeping these beautiful places beautiful. You always pick the perfect music for your videos. Once again outstanding! Safe travels you guys.👍👍👍👍👍😁
Thank you so much! I try to pick music that matches how I felt exploring each place! Or how a particular place makes me feel 😃
Great video as always and another location to add to the list. Dave is a champion Rock skipper! Thank you for cleaning up for the slackers.
Dave has always been a good rock skipper!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
❤ Love the vlogs yall so graciously share with us😊 The informative chats following are very helpful and I'm learning a lot by following your journeys!! Keep up the good work helping keep clean for all to enjoy 🇺🇸🚐 Living the Life 💕
Thanks for posting. I'm putting it on my list!
Have fun and take it easy and take care and enjoy it
Another great camping spot, There's nothing like a beautiful creek for skipping rocks--fun! Again, thank you for being such good stewards of the land.
We are so grateful for these free beauties that we don’t mind picking up trash! Not that we enjoy it😂 but we are happy to help in clean up! I’ll never understand how people enjoy such beauty and then trash it though🤷♀️
And I really love Roodle ❤
Always love skipping rocks!
Loved the peaceful river bottom with the sun beaming through above.
Also enjoyed the musical interlude while Roodle prepared for a nap! 💤
Me and my family go to Kentucky every spring for vacation. We camped at turkey foot. It’s a nice place and the hike to the cave is cool too
i think we might have missed the cave!
I really love seeing your ad-van-tures! Looks like great fun. Kudos to you for leaving campsites better than you found them. Definitely something everyone should do. Keep traveling and sharing!!
Thank you for your kindness! 👱♂️👩🐕🎾
Dave, you’re quite the expert rock skipper. 👏 Roodle approved day. 🐕 Carrie, your sausage gravy looks ever so yummy. 😋
Those were the best skipping rocks we have ever found! That was so much fun and Roodle couldn't get enough. 🐕🎾😀😀
I really enjoyed your video"s. Love the filming. You put a lot of positive energy in your work. Mario and Diana
Did you guys get an underwater drone? Very cool footage! Roodle is in heaven and all is right in the OneadVANture world! Safe travels!
Thank you! We also liked the underwater shots! They turned out so cinematic! I used our GoPro 7 attached o a floating handle. It floated perfectly downstream with the natural current.
Roodle LOVED this spot!!
I'm a new subscriber, I'm really enjoying your video. Looking forward to watching more !! Your puppy is so adorable !! Take care and God Bless !!
Enjoyed it very much
Your videos just keep getting better! Thank you for sharing 💞
Thank you so much for watching and commenting on so many of our videos! We appreciate you!! We love this lifestyle and are honored to share it with you. 👨👩🐶🎾🦴
We love your channel and this video took that up a notch. The underwater video of the creek was just beautiful! Thank you for producing such awesome content.
Thank you so much! This was a fun video to do! I always love underwater photography!
Love the lullaby with Roodle going to sleep, cute! Thanks for the video!
I think that was my favorite part of this video!!
Loved the park and the underwater footage was great.
Thank you!
Love the underwater shots,thanks for sharing
Thank you! We also liked the underwater shots! They turned out so cinematic! I used our GoPro 7 attached o a floating handle. It floated perfectly downstream with the natural current.
Awe Roodle sleeping was adorable!
He really is! I love how this little segment turned out!
You guys are great! Now that we’re retired and full timing with our Lab, Brew, we appreciate your content even more!
Awesome! Thank you! We hope to see you on the road! If you see us dont hesitate to stop by and say hi!
Oh my, what kind of camera is that you use for the under water shots. Awesome video. I wish CZcams had a heart button.
Thank you! I used our GoPro 7 mounted to a floating handle that floated naturally downstream😃
Wow! I just found your channel and can't wait to see all of your posts! Hooray!
Welcome to our channel! Let us know if you have any questions. 👍😀
I love your channel. You seem like really nice folks. And you just seem like normal humans. I will keep watching, as I love the places you go!
Thank you, Chris! We hope to see you on the road sometime. 😎
Great vid y'all, and nice area. Never been on that creek, appreciate the share. Ty'all
Thank you, Will! We hope you get a chance to check it out. Locals told us there are a couple of springs in the area that are safe to drink! It would be fun to find one of those here. Take care.
I live in WV and ive never heard of this place , so thanks ! Just found your videos . Great job love them !
Im also a chef and own the Gumbo Stop Cafe here in Huntington WV and your sausage gravy looked great, gonna steal the cream cheese idea !
The cinematographer talents you guys have are so outstanding!
Thank you, Marley!
Great video .Thank you for picking up the trash
+Don Capito absolutely
That swim spot looked refreshing.
It was! The water was so much warmer there then here in Colorado 😂
Excellent video and presentation
very beautiful videography. love your channel. much love
Really appreciate that! Thank you!
While I'm NOT anything close to a herpetologist (one who studies reptiles and amphibians), it looks to be a common water snake. I found this picture (www.sdherps.org/media/422.jpg) which bears a close resemblance, but isn't necessarily the identical species of your little "friend" you found in a Kentucky stream; but is almost 99% 'safe' and not poisonous.
I'm amazed to see so many of your videos show relatively empty campgrounds. Then again, when I've camped, I've often done it in the summer and on weekends, and some state and National parks get REALLY crowded...you guys seem to find the empty ones! I'm thinking, though, as summer approaches, your 'short list' will become even shorter! Thanks for all your wonderful videos!
The consensus is water snake! It scared me bet it swam right past the camera when I was getting my underwater shots. When I followed it downstream it pretty much coiled on the top of the water as in to say “back off” and I did!!!!!
We tend to stay away from campgrounds on weekends, holidays and the summer months 😂 off season Is definitely our favorite season!!
Great video
Real Good job on this one
Thank you!
When you first go under water it looks like Roodle's face is there.
I saw that tpp
Too
Several people have said that! I don’t see it on my phone.... tune to get the laptop out!
Nice filming
Around a creek there, it's a Copper Headed Water Mocasin...
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@oneadVANtureatatime no problem! We really enjoy making outdoor videos also
And i would be secretly looking for that blue paint in other rigs on travels..lmao
We think it was non-campers as this spot was pretty close to town.
One of the best places to camp in ky
Also there are a few natural springs that have been tapped along the roads they are easy to pass up but if you need water it's clean cold limestone water nothin better
That sounds awesome! I would have loved to find one of those natural springs and filled up full! Thank you for the tip. 😎
