Guild, TN · 23 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar-powered as we are not on the electric grid.
Some info about the property:
-we DO NOT have water or power hookups
-we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough)
-we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by)
-none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly)
-most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

We live on site on 17 acres that is surrounded by large tracts of undeveloped land with the Oconee National Forest within 1/4 mile and the Ocmulgee river within 1 mile. The name Seven Islands comes from the rich history of this area and the nearby trading site between Native Americans and settlers in the 1800s on the seven islands of the Ocmulgee River. For Equestrian campers, we have an electric hook-up near the house and a round-pen size paddock for horses (or can make panels into stalls) +$7/horse/night. (Note: We reserve the right to refuse lodging to horses with runny noses/runny eyes or otherwise sick). *Cabin being remodeled. To be open some time in 2025* We are happy to ride with you when available if desired - or we recommend using the Outdoor Active or Gaia app. Our tent camping area is a peaceful, shady area overlooking meandering Kinnard Creek. The dirt road is within view, but it is a country road rarely travelled by anyone other than kayakers and other recreationists. You may hear the friendly nicker or see our 3 horses coming to check you out, but their pasture area does not intrude on the camping area. Hike or ride your horses on the nearby trails. The Fried Green Tomatoes cafe and Sac-O-Suds (famous from the movie "My Cousin Vinny") [Edit: Sac-O-Suds store is currently closed. But still a scenic drive-by] are an easy drive as well as Covington GA where you can see The Vampire Diary clock tower (or take a tour of other filming locations). There are many quaint shops in town, a 10 minute drive, or in nearby Madison GA. This is a great country getaway to reconnect with nature and peace. We are just far enough away not to be intrusive, but near enough if you need assistance.

St George, GA · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all
Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line.
Set along a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers real privacy, open space, and true “Old Florida” country vibes.
🌊 The River:
Fed by the Okefenokee Swamp, the water carries natural tannins from peat, giving it that deep black look in the depths and a golden “sweet tea” color in the shallows.
✔️ Clean, refreshing water—perfect for swimming
✔️ Soft white sandy bottom (no mud, no rocks)
✔️ Naturally filtered water with antibacterial properties
Swim between two states at once; the middle of the river is the state line!
🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet:
Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare natural swimming area and a private white sugar-sandbar beach along the river.
🏕️ Perfect For:
• Family camping
• Small & large groups
• Private celebrations
• Weddings
• Family reunions
• Overlanding & vanlife
At the heart of the property to rent is a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion with power and water hookups, a custom private fire pit w/ river views, grills, a place to cook, relax, play yard games, and gather in the shade with the river in view.
🏞️ The Experience:
🛶 Kayaking & paddling
🏊 Swimming
🔥 Firepits & grills
🎣 Fishing
🚗 Easy drive-in access
🌌 Stargazing
🥾 Trails & light exploring
🐦 Birdwatching
🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE)
📶 Limited cell service (a chance to unplug)
🧭 Nearby:
📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Park
📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter.
Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast.
Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.

The Cove consists of 12 acres with a tributary stream and spring fed ponds

It is completely private and unspoiled nature, with about a mile of walking trails throughout. The Mountaintop is a 3 acre high elevation site bordering 140 acres of undisturbed woods and is also very close to the Toccoa River.
Fantastic location yet very private for base camp to access the many activities in this area, or enjoy the Toccoa River. It is the only campground in Fannin County limited to only one group at a time.
Each site includes 2 access points to the Toccoa River. The Gibbs Drive community river access lot has a charcoal grill, picnic table, boat launch, swimming rock and fire pit with chairs. The Toccoa River Forest community river access lot has a big boat ramp. The river is controlled flow and usually at low water from dawn to about 2 pm, ideal for fishing or swimming/wading/boulder bopping. The River release schedule is available online at
the website TVA.gov.
The River has swift current when the dam is opened for release, usually daily.

Recently purchased this beautiful , peaceful property in 2017 and have had to think outside the box to continue to care for my wonderful animals as when I moved from urban environment to rural , my income has been challenging to teach enough horseback lessons to survive and discovered Hipcamp!
This made me consider sharing this wonderful place. We have a White Dog Farm fan page :Facebook, Instagram: WHITE.DOG.FARM , can show our horse activities and more photos.

This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter.
Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast.
Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.

Mineral Bluff, GA · 2 sites
The Cove consists of 12 acres with a tributary stream and spring fed ponds
less than a half mile from the Toccoa River. It was originally the water source for the surrounding properties prior to the city installing a water system. It is completely private and unspoiled nature, with about a mile of walking trails throughout. The Mountaintop is a 3 acre high elevation site bordering 140 acres of undisturbed woods and is also very close to the Toccoa River.
Fantastic location yet very private for base camp to access the many activities in this area, or enjoy the Toccoa River. It is the only campground in Fannin County limited to only one group at a time.
Each site includes 2 access points to the Toccoa River. The Gibbs Drive community river access lot has a charcoal grill, picnic table, boat launch, swimming rock and fire pit with chairs. The Toccoa River Forest community river access lot has a big boat ramp. The river is controlled flow and usually at low water from dawn to about 2 pm, ideal for fishing or swimming/wading/boulder bopping. The River release schedule is available online at
the website TVA.gov.
The River has swift current when the dam is opened for release, usually daily.
This property is conveniently located in Mineral Bluff, Georgia 30559, just 4 miles off the 4-lane highway (Highway 515/76) and just a short drive to Blue Ridge, Georgia; Blairsville, Georgia; Murphy, North Carolina, McCaysville, Georgia and Copper Hill, Tennessee.

I have been an equestrian for 40+ years and horses are my passion. Recently purchased this beautiful , peaceful property in 2017 and have had to think outside the box to continue to care for my wonderful animals as when I moved from urban environment to rural , my income has been challenging to teach enough horseback lessons to survive and discovered Hipcamp!
This made me consider sharing this wonderful place. We have a White Dog Farm fan page :Facebook, Instagram: WHITE.DOG.FARM , can show our horse activities and more photos.

We loved this place so much we stayed an extra night. A beautiful, quiet spot on the bank of the While Chimney River, Belle Bluff Island campground is high on our return-someday list. Whether it’s fishing from the dock or listening to Richard, aka “The Mayor,” tell stories, this is a place to go if you’re looking to kick back and relax. Owner Ron McIntosh is a real gentleman - he graciously let us upgrade to an unoccupied larger site with a full view of the river and marsh. Two big thumbs up!

Our stay was amazing, my family and I enjoyed the nestled in space and it was very spacious! Plenty of amenities and things to do right on the grounds. having a communal space that wasn't directly outdoors was a plus. Amy and Rob (her husband) made sure our stay was comfortable, we were even able to visit beforehand to put our minds to ease. Overall great trip! Only downside was it was a little noiser at night but it was nothing we couldn't adapt to. We will be returning

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)
The location was amazing sleeping with the stream right behind this I had beautiful sounds and energy. We can go to Byrd call Flow water was awesome. Not to mention that Sieff‘s cooking every morning was top-notch. I’m plant based and so he accommodated the alterations to the menu and it was absolutely beautiful. There was tons of activities, nearby, wineries, beautiful hikes, and even more attractions that didn’t take away from the scenery that we were in. I will definitely be staying here again.

Such a beautiful piece of land, with just the right amenities for camping. The campsites are well spaced and perfectly positioned near the river. The river is gorgeous, and the clean, cold water feels amazing during the heat of the day. The shared areas are clean and easy to use. We had an amazing stay.

The kids and I had a great time tent camping at Castleberry Bridge! We loved being right on the water and George kept us well-stocked with firewood. If the weather was a bit warmer, we would have enjoyed the tubes and been on the water more. However, the chilly weather didn't keep the kids off the rope swing the first day. George and Gini thought of many things one might have forgotten for a fun, safe day-- first aid kits, life vests, doggie bags, inflating pumps, etc. The location is close to a Dollar General if anything else is needed. George was a gracious host, offering to help with whatever might be needed. Thank you for such a wonderful experience camping on the river!

3 nights at Covenant View Camp and Retreat
Robby and Tina were fantastic hosts! We felt right at home. We were welcomed with a huge tent (and air mattress) and a fire already set up. The campsite was beautiful and had an amazing view of Lookout mountain. We enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and listening to birds. I was even able to identify bird sounds thanks to the app Tina shared. We also liked the site because it was only around 20 minutes from all the wonderful attractions on Lookout Mountain, Chattanooga and Rock City. We visited Anna Ruby Falls and Racoon Mountain. Robby used to be a tour guide so has lots of knowledge of the surrounding areas and places to explore. We loved Kayaking which they transported the kayaks for you. They also shared a cute coffee shop where you can feed/pet alpacas nearby. Such a great trip!! We appreciate them opening their home to us and will definitely be staying here again.

Definitely an unforgettable experience. You can truly feel how much love and care has been poured into this land. One of the most unexpected highlights was seeing some of Georgia’s most beautiful butterflies, it added such a special touch to the trip Also a perfect camping spot for families and children. George and Gino are incredibly kind, warm and inviting, they really make you feel at home.The campsite itself is well maintained, the bathrooms are clean and it is a great place to fish. I honestly didn’t expect to find a spot that had everything, but this one absolutely delivers. Highly recommend!

Castleberry Bridge is the BEST place to camp because of the location being in Atlanta’s backyard and close to all the stores, restaurants and shopping (if needed). It’s tucked away enough that makes it feel like you’re in the back country in a historic property where the Gold Rush took place so you can bring your metal detector and fishing rods (private property so no fishing license needed) where Native Americans built and caught fish in a trap that is now a swimming hole great for the kids! The running water sounds from the rapids are great for relaxing and sleeping next to and you can also go tubing ($5 to rent) or kayaking. George even sets up and starts your fire pit with an unlimited supply of FREE firewood and the star gazing at night is beautiful! There is a separate changing room and the port a potty is clean. George and Gini are the kindest and best hosts and are more welcoming than your favorite Airbnb Superhosts! Their family keeps the property clean and are constantly upgrading the amenities. They are very committed to making it a forever park for everyone to enjoy, while providing a safe space for children, adults, dogs and generations to come. I highly encourage you to spend a night like Jesse James and continue to support their efforts by booking your stays and keeping the place clean by not littering and even make a donation to their nonprofit. God bless George and Gini and we pray for many blessings in Jesus name! #AMEN
