Luxurious amenities, beautiful plot
Fireside's hosts haven't just made sites available to campers, they have created a full camping experience with amenities only found at the most luxurious campgrounds, including a large field with your choice of location, a well-maintained porta-potty, a community barn with refrigerators, microwaves, games and couches; and one of the nicest rustic shower houses I have ever had the pleasure of using.
While this property is located well into the hilly Tennessee terrain, finding a level pad for your tent or RV is not a problem. There are plenty of picnic tables and fire rings available, and you can choose to be in an open area or nestled into a thick canopy of trees.
Being early in the season, we had almost the entire place to ourselves and opted to stay close to the shower house, which turned out to be one of the greatest highlights of the stay. On a chilly evening and going three days without a bath, a hot shower in a beautifully handcrafted shower house was such a joy, I had to use it a second time before we left.
Less than 10 minutes away is the massive and breathtaking Fiery Gizzard State Park, which kept us busy for days and we barely scratched the surface of all it had to offer.
Although the occasional jake brake will cut the silence of the night, there are no major freeways nearby, so you can expect a quiet experience, especially if you come in the off-season.
