Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
****READ THROUGH ENTIRE LISTING BEFORE BOOKING**** Haw Ridge is a mountain top camp site with a total of only two campsites. At a 4,550 foot elevation and with nearly 360 degree views, there is a perfect sunrise and sunset experience. With no light pollution the stargazing is amazing. On foggy mornings, the mist rolls right over the ridge top. There are 2 sites on one acre so plenty of space for social distancing! Rocky Fork State Park Tn. is just a short drive away for some great additional hiking ,swimming and fishing. Enjoy the view and your stay!!

Thank you, Peter! We had a wonderful time at site 1. The sunset and sunrise were beautiful. The site was perfect for our 80 Series Land Cruiser overland build.

We loved tent camping at this site!! Very primitive and wonderful views. Ride up there is steep and rocky!

The view is beautiful, but the area pictured with 360 views (and the cross) is someone else’s land, so technically that’s trespassing if you want the views as advertised. We booked both sites for privacy, but had 3 separate vehicles in the span of 5 hours drive up to the area, and we had to awkwardly usher them away. The last of the vehicles that came closer to 10pm while we were sleeping, had a family of 5 spill out of the truck claiming they were up there to “use the restroom”, then proceeding to do so directly next to our camp site. They also flipped a picnic table over and appeared angry with us over the fact that they felt entitled to the space, which was extremely uncomfortable and could have ended in a major altercation if we didn’t properly deescalate the situation. Although the land is beautiful, it isn’t worth the headache.
