Property is currently CLOSED while I reassess this whole thing of "sharing"... 99 percent of campers are AWESOME, and understand the idea of PRIVACY and being left alone, and leaving other people alone. But that 1 percent RUINS IT.
I have had 100s if not 1000s of dollars worth of damage down there, and rude people, and just about every single thing you can imagine. My dog was stolen and refuse to be returned with the Sheriff, and people want to FIGHT over whatever.
There are people who want a 4 lane highway built to THE PRIMITVE LAND. It is ASTOUNDING this anthropological experiment trying to share my land with people has been. Mostly good, but the bad has been TERRIBLE.......
So if you want to come, contact me. I may still do it. But things are going to have to change in some drastic ways... UGGG!!!

Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy
I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another.
Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more!
The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake.
The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. ged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains.
The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier.
Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com.
When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place!
Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever! Plan your visit: Chattooga Belle Farm is located at 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, South Carolina 29658. Information is abundant online.

Each RV site is gravel, shaded, and sits along the peaceful Coweeta Creek. The campground property has a large field for games (kickball, soccer, volleyball), as well as a flat 1/4 mile loop which you can view our mini homestead farm. We have chickens (currently no rooster), bees, vegetable gardens, and a small fruit orchard. Turkey Foot Trail is a 1/2 mile trail that takes you through the wooded area to the peak of the property.
The campground is only 15 minutes from Franklin, NC and 20 minutes from Clayton, GA with plenty of shopping/restaurants. Once you are at the campground you won't want to leave the beauty of the creek!
Strong Wifi is available at all sites. Network password will be provided before arrival.
Property History: Coweeta Creek Campground WAS a 20 site, thriving, family/church oriented campground from the 1970's that was later sold, then neglected. My family purchased in 2022 and opened a few camping sites for a more family friendly, intimate setting.

Property is currently CLOSED while I reassess this whole thing of "sharing"... 99 percent of campers are AWESOME, and understand the idea of PRIVACY and being left alone, and leaving other people alone. But that 1 percent RUINS IT.
I have had 100s if not 1000s of dollars worth of damage down there, and rude people, and just about every single thing you can imagine. My dog was stolen and refuse to be returned with the Sheriff, and people want to FIGHT over whatever.
There are people who want a 4 lane highway built to THE PRIMITVE LAND. It is ASTOUNDING this anthropological experiment trying to share my land with people has been. Mostly good, but the bad has been TERRIBLE.......
So if you want to come, contact me. I may still do it. But things are going to have to change in some drastic ways... UGGG!!!

Escape to 92 acres of peaceful mountain farmland at Walnut Springs Estate in Lakemont, Georgia. This is truly secluded, off-grid camping for self-contained guests seeking space, privacy, and a genuine back-to-nature experience.
My wife grew up exploring Walnut Springs as a child, she has always shared fond memories of visiting the waterfall and enjoying the mountain vistas from the fields. While we were dating we would explore this place together. We dreamed of one day have the opportunity to steward Walnut Springs. In 2020, our dream became reality and now it is our joy to share this place with you. Please explore “the farm” and discover the wonder of the beautiful creation.
Camp among open meadows, wooded edges, and peaceful water views, with access to a private pond, nearby spring-fed waterfall scenery, western sunset views, and excellent stargazing. The property borders Forest Service land and offers plenty of room to relax, explore, fish, hike, and enjoy campfires with your dog by your side.
Walnut Springs Estate is best suited for tent campers, rooftop tent travelers, campervans, and smaller RVs that are comfortable without hookups or bathroom amenities. If you’re looking for a scenic North Georgia basecamp with fresh air, quiet nights, and a laid-back outdoor feel, this is the kind of place you book to unplug.
Be sure to check out our extras for local goods. We also offer raw honey harvested directly from the land you’ll be camping on.
Base pricing includes up to 4 adults and 2 vehicles per site. Additional adults and vehicles incur an extra charge. Kids stay free.

Tucked into 28 private acres in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, Cardinal Mountain Campground offers long-range mountain views, quiet nights, and plenty of trees and space for privacy.
We are just 8 minutes from downtown Franklin’s restaurants, shops, cafés, and gem mining. Nearby, in the Nantahala National Forest, you’ll enjoy an abundance of hiking trails, waterfalls, creeks, and fishing opportunities.
Each site sits on cleared, flat ground with its own oversized deck (16' x 16' in most cases) for your tent, chairs, and anything else you’d like to put there, so you’re up off the dirt and set up in minutes.
Most sites are spaced 150+ feet apart on different elevations and screened by trees, providing true privacy. Reliable Verizon 5G is available across the property, so you can work from here if needed. This is a spot for tent campers and Class B van travelers who want seclusion without a long drive to town.
Wake up to mountain air, spend the day exploring the Nantahala National Forest and the Great Smoky Mountains, and come back to a peaceful basecamp under the trees.
Roads are paved. Careful K-turns may be required to turn your vehicle around.

Excellent communication from beginning to end! The campsite was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained. Our site was secluded and peaceful, with a beautiful view of the stars right from our tent. We especially loved having access to running water from the hose. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

My family and I had the absolute best time camping here ! The very short walk to the potable bathrooms, availability to water hose on site and the breath taking view made the trip a breeze! We also enjoyed having a platform space with hooks to be able to fasten our tent. We came in late the first night and had some slight trouble finding the site, but it was super easy to navigate in the day light! I would just recommend coming when you’ve got some light to help guide you that first go round. I really enjoy that there is hardly any light pollution during this stay for the best visibility at night to stargaze! The host was very responsive to any requests or alterations made to the trip. Would absolutely love to stay again sometime !

This spot was everything we were looking for. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful, close to some of the most amazing views. The space was clean and tidy, the host was exceptional, and the maintenance man on site is a keeper! Such a nice and personable guy. Truly a wonderful camping experience all around. 10/10. Highly recommend checking out the sunrise on Wayah Bald lookout tower. So worth it!

This was by far the most beautiful campsite I’ve ever stayed at! The host was incredibly welcoming and communicative. The site itself was super clean with everything you could possibly need (a wooden platform, a stone fire pit, a water hose, a grill, and even a porta potty). We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay at Winding Stair Campground! The property is gorgeous and we hit it during peak Fall season, so the colors were absolutely beautiful. It was quiet, peaceful and safe. We enjoyed the sounds of the river, by our campsite, and we caught a couple of small trout on fly. The pavilion was a lovely for enjoying the views of the property & convenient for cleaning our dishes after cooking. The bathhouse was very nice & clean. I also really appreciated the cute, on-site store, that had various items for purchase like firewood, eggs, honey, and local meats. Already planning to return in the Spring!

This place is a hidden gem. Close to all od the activities(Clayton, Highlands, etc), but far enough away for seclusion and privacy. The waterfall site was well groomed and the fire pit was top notch. Complete privacy at the site. Top notch host. Will return in the near future.
