Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

I ended up leaving after I showed up and used the bathroom and toook a walk. I just personally felt unsafe as a single female, but I may have been prejudice against the vibe of the neighboring properties as you pull up. But I’m sure it’s fine. I’m overly cautious

The grounds were very well kept, the bathhouse was very clean and accessible to people. There were no issues with noise or other campers. My partner and I enjoyed everything and would love to return in the future!

It's a beautiful spot, but also very close to the highway and a train line. I'm accustomed to the noise as a city-dweller and had no problem getting a good night's sleep, but the noise might be an issue for those from the suburbs or rural areas. Maybe bring earplugs.

Got in late and immediately found a beautiful spot. Clean restrooms. Wish I had more time to explore.
