2 nights at River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

Enjoyed our stay. My son spent his time kayaking the creek and really enjoyed it.

1 night at Covenant View Camp and Retreat

Robert and his hilltop hideaway was a very perfect first hip camp experience for me. Thank you for everything.

Weekend Trip to Candy Mountain Goat Farm

it was our second time here, and it’s a great spot for families. goats, baby chickens, two friendly dogs, a zip line, and fire wood galore. we hammock camped, but there’s room for small or medium tents. probably not a large 8-person tent. it’s a chill place that is more than worth the price.

Weekend Trip to Eads Bluff Farm

Incredible!! Magnificent views! Would definitely come back!!

Weekend Trip to The Land at FlatTop Mountain

This property is gorgeous. The blue hole was the highlight of the trip, it is absolutely magical down in the gorge. Unfortunately it was not warm enough to swim but some of the mountain laurel and rhododendron were still in bloom so we hung up our hammocks and just enjoyed the view. The trail down to the blue hole could use some TLC and clearer signage but overall wasn’t bad. I will definitely be returning to camp here with friends!

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

Cozy spot right on the river. Easy to access; in a residential area near town. Communicative hosts. A nice, peaceful weekend camping with my bestie and paddling with our dogs.

Weekend Trip to Eads Bluff Farm

Absolutely perfect—every time! We’ve stayed here multiple times, and it never disappoints. This place far exceeds any traditional campground you could book. The views are breathtaking, the host is incredibly welcoming, and our dogs love the property. We could go on and on—this truly is the best spot just outside of Chattanooga!

Weekend Trip to Your Toccoa River Cove!

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

We had such an amazing stay here! Robert and his wife were warm and welcoming! Great hosts! It was a rainy weekend so our tent camping plan changed last minute and they were willing to accommodate us to make sure we had an enjoyable weekend! Robert was super helpful by starting us a fire prior to our arrival so we had coals going during the spot rain showers, dry wood and was quick to help with any other things we needed. Great communication, was able to contact him easily and always met with a quick response! Beautiful history of the land too! Can’t wait to return for more adventures!

Sugarloafers on the Lower Ocoee

2 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Benton, TN

Sugarloafers is located on a portion of the old Ocoee Outdoors Zipline. It is nestled along the lower Ocoee river with great views of Sugarloaf and Big Frog Mountains. This is an excellent gateway to Parksville Lake and the Cherokee National Forest and all the activities it affords including whitewater rafting on the Hiwasee and Ocoee Rivers, mountain biking, kayaking, lazy river tubing/floating, fishing, and so much more! Our property is one of nine - 5 acre tracts along the river. As of Fall of 2024, the adjacent lots have houses on them. So while this campsite is some distance from the houses, it is currently within view. Although the campsite is back from the highway, road noise can be an issue especially on the weekends. Highway 64 is one of three major roads in the county. Unfortunatley, tents don't block the sounds of Harleys racing down the road at 2 a.m. Consider bringing earplugs or muffs if you are a light sleeper! Within a mile from the end of the driveway there is: Food - Subway Sandwich Shop and the Gondoler restaraunt. Whitewater Outfitters - Ocoee Outdoors, NOC Ocoee Outpost, ACE Ocoee Adventures Myrtles Cafe is now two miles east next to the Firefly Market. Please consider visiting these local business, they provide excellent service. Other - Rock Creek Oufitters Ocoee Store, Ocoee Express Gas Station and Convenience Store, Sugarloaf River Park and Parksville Dam and the entrance to the Cherokee National Forest! Dollar General & Foodcity - 4.2 miles back towards Cleveland (because someone forgot their phone charging cable and you want a 6 pack of beer). Middle Ocoee Private boater takeout is only a 10 minute drive east on Hwy 64. Consider a hike to beautiful Benton Falls - drive to the top of Chilhowee Mountain and it's a 3 mile round trip hike. !!!ALSO!!! Due to the massive damage caused by hurricane Helene on September 27, 2024 - especially to I-40 through the mountains - Highway 64 is now one of the primary routes into NC from TN. Expect traffic along this route to be busier than normal.

There is room and hookups for two RV's at this location however I will only allow two RV's if they are from the same party. Please contact me for details and special pricing if this is needed. Learn more about this land: I recently acquired this property that has been in my family for over 100 years and my original home place until around 1980. My wife and I initially made this site for our own RV use, but we want to share it for others to enjoy and also to help finance our constant improvements. The original house that I grew up in is still located on the property but is currently uninhabitable (for now). My fondest memories of the property are of playing and catching crawdads in the creek that located on the property when I was a kid and riding horses and flying kites in the fields. I am working hard to restore this property to the way I remember it and trying to make it enjoyable for those that come to visit. A majority of the property is still being used as a hay field during the summer months and two to three times a year the hay is usually harvested.
