5 sites ¡ Tents35 acres ¡ Greeneville, TN
Experience primitive camping on our 35 acres in the Smokies, offering the perfect setting for watching the solar eclipse, escaping the hustle and bustle, and disconnecting from the world. The serene atmosphere is as captivating as the surrounding hills, trees, and scenic vistas. As we embark on building our homestead and future retreat center on the property, tranquility reigns supreme with only the sounds of birds, rustling trees, and local wildlife. A creek gracefully traverses the length of the property, enhancing the natural allure. Bring your own tent and choose from several beautiful and secluded camping spots that we offer. While it's a bit of a hike from the parking area (approximately 1/4 mile), fear not, as we provide a convenient wagon to transport your belongings up the ridge. Please note that fires are not permitted at individual campsites at the moment, as we are still in the process of ensuring safety by adding gravel. However, each night of your stay, we invite our guests to gather around a cozy campfire shared in the pasture.

Low Meadow Farms

19 sites ¡ RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Knoxville, TN
PLEASE NOTE: The access code to the gate changes weekly. Check your access instructions for the correct gate code. Low Meadow Farms (formerly Brown Bike Farms) is a serene four-acre meadow bordered by Burnett Creek. The campground is an easy distance to Downtown Knoxville and an even easier access to all that South Knox's Urban Wilderness has to offer. It uniquely offers a hint of backcountry camping without the 25-mile hike in, a great way to test the waters for primitive camping or an easy stop close to the city for a seasoned traveler. It is best suited for off-road vehicles, bike, tent, and hammock camping. Our Campsites: Sites 1 through 11 are along the tree line that borders Burnett Creek. Site 12 is not on the creek and is up on a hill that overlooks the meadow. Lucky number 13 is located in the meadow across from campsite 5. Sites 1 and 2 are off the main path and have a grass/dirt access that can get muddy after a lot of rain. Sites 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 13 are easily accessed by a gravel road. Sites 8, 9, 11 and 12 are located on a dirt/grass road on other side of a ditch - some vehicles may not be able to drive to this area and will need to park about 50 yards away. (New owners will be installing a culvert in the coming months for easier access to this area.) There are fire pits all sites. Many trees are suitable for hammock camping in the sites along the river. Campsites are labeled by number from left to right upon entering the drive, except for 13 which is in the meadow across from site 5. Each site can accommodate 2 people to keep space between groups and lessen the impact on the land. If you have more in your group, we recommend reserving an adjoining campsite. Potable water and a shared portable bathroom are on site. ***New owners will be making some changes to the campground in the coming months. Please let us know what you liked and what changes you would like to see after your stay!***
