Located on a wooded ridge above beautiful Lake Cumberland in Monticello, Kentucky, Hidden Ridge Camping is a one-of-a-kind wedding venue where couples can get married surrounded by the woods. Perfect for wedding parties who love the outdoors and want to be immersed in nature on their big day, packages include unique glamping accommodations that make your event memorable for everyone. And if you're a music festival person, this is the place for you! Easily move from ceremony to dance party under the stars on our two outdoor stages.

Facilities and Capacity

Hidden Ridge Camping is located on 53 acres of wooded land near Conley Bottom Marina on Lake Cumberland. On-site accommodations include a large lodge, which sleeps 18 and offers a large great room with a pool table, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen and large dining area. The front lawn is perfect for an outdoor rehearsal dinner or the ceremony itself. A range of glamping options and Burnt Rock, our live music venue, which is home to music festivals in the spring and fall, are located in the back half of the property. Couples can choose to hold their ceremony on or near the stages, or in the nearby fields tucked along the treeline. Glamping options include: a yurt/yome, two safari tents, a vintage RV, a school bus, and a micro-cabin. All offer power and queen beds, and select options offer water and AC, as well. All are located within a short walk from our bathhouse, which offers flush toilets and showers. While on site, guests can enjoy wandering our 53 acres and exploring a small hiking trail system with lake access. Hidden Ridge can accommodate up to 500 and ceremonies of all sizes.

A dream come true.

I had my wedding here in October of 2020. It was the most beautiful experience of my life. The scenery, the glamping, the view at the lake. The owners were so involved with helping our special day be everything we had dreamed of. It’s a place I will always hold special to my heart.

Wedding at Hidden Ridge

How much better can you get, then having a beautiful camp ground for your friends and family to enjoy? Next to Cumberland Lake. Indoor accommodations for non campers and Glamping for the rest.
Burnt Rock gathering area is already set up for music performances and was perfect for our very personal ceremony, and live music reception. Highly recommended. A one of a kind, special place to our family.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
