Our grandparents moved to the farm on Little Crow Creek on September 27, 1927 from up in Sinking Cove. They had six children with our dad, Charlie Jr., being one of them.
Charlie Stubblefield Sr. was a very interesting man with a wide curiosity in just about anything that had to do with history, Indian artifacts, Civil War, fossils, oral history, religion and more.
Therefore, the small museum on the property next to the pavilion is dedicated to our grandfather.
Charlie Sr. and our grandmother served as Justices of the Peace for over 30 years. Further, our grandmother was the backbone of the family, and was a gracious lady with a special personality to handle the rigors of the day; we miss them both very much.
The area has many interesting stories and legacies of characters of yesterday and today.

This property was purchased by my husband and I in 1980 from Margret Cetera mother of Peter Cetera lead singer of the band Chicago. When purchased the home was a small non descript cottage with a pole barn in the back field.

The cabin consists of 1 large common space room with sitting area and kitchen. The antique farm sink has hot and cold running water. Also available is a large refrigerator, toaster, microwave oven, hot plate, coffee pot and portable dishwasher.

Guests can enjoy 20 miles of hiking trails, beautiful Japanese Gardens, a Planetarium and Lodge, and all of the attractions, shops, and restaurants of the one-and-only, “Rocket City” Huntsville, Alabama.
Combining luxury and the great outdoors, our extra spacious completely furnished Safari Tents give large families or groups of friends the extra space they need to glamp in comfort.
What Is Glamping?
At Timberline Glamping, We believe that luxury and comfort should not be sacrificed when spending time outside.
You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens.
You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone.
You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Keurig Coffee Maker.
We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home.
Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.
If you are on the fence and have more questions, check out our FAQ page or please reach out to us and ask questions. It is better that you know before you go!

Charlie Sr. and our grandmother served as Justices of the Peace for over 30 years. Further, our grandmother was the backbone of the family, and was a gracious lady with a special personality to handle the rigors of the day; we miss them both very much.
The area has many interesting stories and legacies of characters of yesterday and today.

This property was purchased by my husband and I in 1980 from Margret Cetera mother of Peter Cetera lead singer of the band Chicago. When purchased the home was a small non descript cottage with a pole barn in the back field. It has grown to support grape, blackberry and muscedime vines.The original home has expanded through time and around 20 years ago, the pole barn was converted into a large 1200 square foot cabin with modern conveniences. My husband and I actually enjoyed living full time in the cabin for a period of 5 years before returning to reside in the main house. The cabin consists of 1 large common space room with sitting area and kitchen. The antique farm sink has hot and cold running water. Also available is a large refrigerator, toaster, microwave oven, hot plate, coffee pot and portable dishwasher. The antique Hoosier cabinet holds cooking utensils and silverware and located above the kitchen counter you will find plates, bowls, cups and glasses for your use. The water is well water, pure and delicious without chemicals. The cabin is equipped with a full size pool table for our guests enjoyment. The master bedroom offers a comfortable sleigh bed, full bathroom with shower and just outside the bedroom is a comfortable patio to enjoy, complete with table and chairs for two and outdoor fire place. Also available is a twin bed tucked in the corner of the area between the main room and bedroom. For guests wishing to continue their exercise routine, a modern treadmill is available as well. Walk the spacious well landscaped yard with multiple seating venues including a large hammock. For a quiet night of movie enjoyment, bring your favorite movies and make use of the DVD/VCR machine and wide screen television. Approximately 12-14 television channels are available via outside antenna. This cozy cabin offers something for everyone; book your stay today.

Faye's place is located on Rock Creek Road, ten minutes from the amenities of Tullahoma, Tn. The area is agricultural, but maintains a majority of natural beauty. Our property is 90 acres, consisting of fields, hardwood forests, and Rock Creek. The campsite is next to small waterfalls that flow past soft grassy banks, under the shade of oak trees. The creek is wide and shallow and the waterfalls create a tranquil ambiance. We have chickens (no roosters), cats (only 3), and an abundance of natural wildlife. Feel at home at our home, where rural hospitality is our standard.
Learn more about this land:
The Rock Creek campground is located in a secluded wooden area by a flowing creek. The creek area is great for wading, exploring nature, and relaxing. The creek also includes small waterfalls.

Just minutes from downtown Huntsville, Monte Sano State Park, rises more than 1,600 feet above sea level.
In Spanish, Monte Sano means “Mountain of Health” and is known for spectacular views, fresh mountain air, fall colors, and mineral springs. Guests can enjoy 20 miles of hiking trails, beautiful Japanese Gardens, a Planetarium and Lodge, and all of the attractions, shops, and restaurants of the one-and-only, “Rocket City” Huntsville, Alabama.
Combining luxury and the great outdoors, our extra spacious completely furnished Safari Tents give large families or groups of friends the extra space they need to glamp in comfort.
What Is Glamping?
At Timberline Glamping, We believe that luxury and comfort should not be sacrificed when spending time outside.
You will have a very comfortable bed with proper linens.
You will have places to sit, places to eat, and places to charge your phone.
You will still be able to wake up and have a fresh cup of coffee from a Keurig Coffee Maker.
We do provide heaters in the winter and air conditioners in the summer, but remember this is a tent with a canvas exterior. The heating and cooling will be just enough to take the edge off, but will not have the same effect of a home.
Most Importantly, you will have a chance to re-imagine the world around you as you make special memories with family and friends.
If you are on the fence and have more questions, check out our FAQ page or please reach out to us and ask questions. It is better that you know before you go!

Rachael has taken extra steps to ensure her guest enjoy their stay at Camp 222. The shower and latrine are in excellent condition and the shower's hot water supply is a nice positive. The fire pit, night lights, hammocks, and swing all add to a relaxing and pleasing atmosphere with several spot to lay back and enjoy your stay. If you like to fish, I had the most luck going left upstream on the branch and fishing a little north of Cappie's Boat dock. I would highly recommend Camp 222 to future campers. One negative comment, the camp is just off a fairly busy road. You will hear traffic throughout the day and early evening. But, the positives far out weight this minor negative for me.

Rodger was fantastic! He contacted me immediately after I booked (my notifications were off, so wasn't aware) ... it was so nice to be advised in advance of what to expect.
I feel that his description & check in procedures were exactly stated. He offered additional site information based on his current occupancy & we really appreciated his "real-time" assessment.
We selected this site based on location. It was an easy access to Greenville, Scottsboro, Chattanooga & Hwy 59 (when we departed).
We would definitely stay again & recommend to our fellow campers.

What a quaint spot along the river! Everything you need: boat launch, floating dock, hot shower, fire pit, and space!!! Lots of it. I appreciated being greeted by the hosts father at the gate and given a brief tour. He made quick friends with my dog, and was proud to provide the history of his family’s land and the river. Town, with all the amenities you might need from a city, is 10 mins away. The camp is along a well traveled road, but gets very quiet at night for sleeping. You also have private residences across the river, but that did not impact my sense of privacy or safety. I would definitely return if in the area again.

I'm reluctant to add my review, but it's not fair to keep this place to myself... Faye's place was exactly what I had imagined when I started looking for a campsite: a shallow creek along a shaded campsite with some woods to explore and look at plants. We happened to be there for a super-bloom of trout lilies and Virginia bluebells, as well as other spring ephemerals. If you like geology, walking the creek gave me literal hours of entertainment looking for fossils and geodes. Awesome spot, keep it like a secret, thank you Faye xoxo

I really enjoyed tent camping on Rachel’s land ! Everything was clean and beautiful. The hot shower was fantastic and having electricity on demand was great also! Firewood was provided although… I didn’t get a chance to use it only because the winds were blowing so much, I didn’t want to be irresponsible. I read where people mention the road noise…I think the key is getting there early enough and after a little bit, you kind of don’t notice it. Now, if you got there right before or at nightfall, it might be an irritant for a little while but… it dies down dramatically. It felt extremely safe and private. Upon getting there, Rachel’s dad and husband, met me at the gate, unlocked it and showed me everything I needed to be shown. How to use the hot shower, which was easy, how to turn on the power and use the electricity box, which was also easy also. The box had a 50-30- and 4 standard outlets …so you were covered all the way around as far as being able to have electricity for your tent or RV or pop-up! Also, there was a water outlet with drinkable water and three additional outlets for water…Note… it was great having a light switch on the electrical box, which turned on the lights goingacross the camping area! Right before they left, I was given the key to the gate and told to call if I had any issues or questions whatsoever, so I could lock and unlock the gate anytime ! Great place and great people! I am already planning my next trip back! Thank you so so much Rachel ! 😊

This is our new favorite Hipcamp!!! As Nashville locals, only having to drive an hour and a half to such serenity is a treat! Super close to waterfalls, several hiking trails, and stores/restaurants in case you forget anything. Our dogs loved exploring the creek! The grill grate was our saving grace when our rotisserie broke down. We also experienced some rain, so the covered picnic table was such a plus! We were the only ones camping but the sites are spaced out well. So nice to take a hot shower after hiking all day too! We hope to be back soon!

Clean and quiet campground. Nice amenities. We would love to come back in the warmer months to use the swimming hole. Kids loved the playground. I never could get the Wi-Fi to have a good signal, but that is the only issue we had during our stay. Anytime I reached out to staff they answered the phone and were accommodating and friendly. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

I loved this site, it was perfect for my first solo camping night, even know I left due to weather. It felt private but not secluded. The bathrooms were clean and well maintained. I would love to give it another try if I am in the area again. The host was also very helpful and pleasant to communicate with.

Where to go
Huntsville Surrounds
It's easy to get outdoors in Huntsville without even leaving because there are camping sites within the city limits. Go hiking, biking, rock climbing, or explore the extensive cave system at Monte Sano State Park, and then take advantage of the picnic areas at lunchtime. Go paddling in the Flint River, or back-in to Ditto Landing to launch a boat into the Tennessee River. And although it's not necessarily a nature experience, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, with its virtual reality programs and simulators, is a must-visit attraction for any visitor to Huntsville.
Lake Guntersville State Park
About an hour southeast of Huntsville lies Alabama's largest lake, which is ideal for boating, fishing, and swimming. Hiking and biking trails meander through this state park's forests and along the lake's shoreline. At the same time, anglers can rent a boat and catch abundant bass, catfish, and crappie. Those seeking more adrenaline-fueled adventures can go zip-lining or explore an aerial course. The beach area, which is perfect for sunbathing, also has picnic tables for gathering with friends and family.
Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge
Take a 30-minute trip southwest on I-565 to explore this wintering area for migratory birds. Covering 35,000 acres, it provides a great diversity of habitats for wildlife, such as waterfowl, cranes, deer, and amphibians. Hikers and bikers will enjoy exploring the miles of trails, while anglers can rent a boat or bring their own to catch bass, catfish, and crappie. Visitors can also enjoy the lake's serene waters by kayaking, paddleboarding, or swimming.
Little River Canyon National Preserve
In the rugged terrain of northeastern Alabama, the preserve is home to one of the deepest canyons east of the Mississippi River. Find hiking trails leading to breathtaking waterfalls and natural pools. The river also allows for kayaking and fishing. In addition to its natural beauty, the preserve has evidence of early human habitation dating back over 10,000 years. Picnic areas are also available if you need to take a rest.
When to go
Huntsville's mild climate makes it a year-round destination for nature lovers. The most pleasant weather occurs during spring and fall, from April to October. Summers can be hot and humid, but visitors can beat the heat with water sports like swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Winters can be cold, but instances of warm weather make hiking and biking possible at nearby state parks. The best time to visit Huntsville depends on personal preferences and your favorite activities.
