1. Forest at Sand Mountain

32mi from Skyline · 4 sites · Tents
22 acres of Private, Magickal forest spanning the bottom valley all the way to the top of Sand Mountain. The mountain has several natural terraces and flat areas suitable for campers to choose from including a nice spot overlooking a rock garden. As you ascend Sand Mountain, the vegetation thins revealing spectacular views of Lookout Mountain especially in the fall & winter months after the leaves have fallen. At the very top of the property are 30+ ft high cliffs with a cave. It has a colorful collection of lichen growing in it and we have named it our 'Mandala cave'. The cave is great for meditation. Rejuvenating guided hikes to the cliffs & caves are available upon request. This is raw land & raw forest. If you enjoy bush craft, there is plenty of material for you to build a lean-to, tipi, or structure of choice. Trees range from poplar to multiple species of oak. Natural wildlife include deer, wild turkeys, scorpions, and ticks. You're welcome to bring fluffy as we've never seen any predators, but there is a slight chance there could be some around. A lost animal on the mountain could be near impossible to find. We have 2 male cats. Unfortunately, the Earth does what she wants and weather forecasts can't be relied upon. We've had sunny days that have been forecasted to rain and un-predicted downpours. It can be raining at the top or the bottom of the mountain but not at the campsites in the middle.

The cabin consists of 1 large common space room with sitting area and kitchen. The antique farm sink has hot and cold running water.

4. Last Light At Burning Skye Bluff

43mi from Skyline · 1 site · Tent
Burning Skye Bluff Stunning sunset views high above the Sequatchie Valley drop behind the expansive and breathtaking Cumberland Plateau! Perched atop Suck Creek Mountain, Burning Skye Bluff is a quiet, mountaintop campsite where the sky seems to ignite at sunset. From this cliff-top, the land drops away into sweeping, unobstructed views of the Sequatchie Valley and the Cumberland Plateau, with golden hour stretching long and wide across the horizon. The site features a stone fire ring set right at the edge of the overlook — the perfect place to gather as daylight fades and the sky shifts from gold to ember to stars. On clear evenings, sunsets here are unforgettable, and after dark, the elevation brings cool breezes, deep quiet, and expansive stargazing. This is a peaceful, secluded spot designed for campers who want space, views, and stillness. It’s ideal for couples, solo travelers, photographers, or anyone looking to unplug and spend an evening watching the sky. Adventure Access! A 4x4 is required. This beautiful site is not for the faint of heart, yet it’s worth every bit of effort necessary to get there. The site is well suited for vehicle camping or minimalist setups. Come prepared, bring what you need, and settle in — the view does the rest. If you’re looking for a place where sunset is the main event, Burning Skye Bluff delivers.
