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

It's like having your own private summer camp! The unfurnished cabin is dry and clean. A huge upgrade from a tent (feel free to pitch your tents if you like)! The bathhouse offers hot showers, a flush toilet, and sink. The open pole barn has a deluxe camping kitchen set up with pots and pans, a propane stove, a coffee maker, and a dishwashing sink. There is also a dining table and chairs. While the property is close and convenient to Chattanooga, once you are enjoying the serene woods, shady trees, starry nights, and quality time with family and friends you will forget all about the city! While there are no full-time residents on the property, there is a small functioning horse farm about 100 yards from the camping area. On most days the owner will stop by to care for the horses, and teach riding lessons.

4 nights at Mtn Forest Close To Chattanooga

Great place to stay! Not far from Chattanooga proper so we were able to use uber/lyft. Perfect place for me as someone who experiences sensory overload - room was dark and quite also perfect for my girlfriend who is always cold bc they have a heated mattress pad. They are both very talented artists and we enjoyed our tour of their studios& even bought two pieces of art. Will come back!

We had such a relaxing time! The cabin was perfect for the 5 of us and it had all the amenities we needed. We loved the lights around the campsite, and the kids took over the loft area in the cabin! Having a nice bathroom and the kitchen area just enhanced the stay! The highlight was enjoying the sweet kitties that spent time with us! It was a perfect little getaway!

First time camping ever and we were absolutely blessed by this site! It was such a wonderful way to ease ourselves into camping, everything was super accessible while still maintaining our privacy and allowing us to fend for ourselves just a bit lol I would recommend bringing extra blankets and pillows, thankfully we did and it made a world of a difference. Would so come back!

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Barn on 20 Peaceful Acres

A very comfortable camping set up. Quite a lot of space in the woods to ourselves and between outhouses, with a large clearing in the middle for kids to enjoy. Kitchen and dining area under the barn is very well equipped. I didn't need to bring any extra cooking or dining equipment. Took us a little time to figure out the hot water in the shower but it does make a difference when it's on. Lots of products and some toilet paper provided. The wooden cabin was a great set up for sleeping. Very well ventilated and little fairy lights for nice ambiance. We took our air mattresses and sheets and it was like a little camp hotel. There is a road nearby but it's completely silent at night and pretty quiet during the day too. Horses on the property make great scenery. All in all clean and well maintained. Would just recommend taking a bath mat for the shower floor and tea towels for the kitchen for maximum comfort. Host was very easy to contact at any point and very helpful.

The A Frame was great! The bed was comfortable and the electricity worked great. The campsite was private which was nice. The bath house was clean and there was hot water. Thomas was very nice and his dogs were the best! They were well behaved and would often come up to our campsite to say hello. We appreciated the hospitality while here and would return again in the future!! :).

The A frame was great and very convenient! The area was beautiful but be careful leaving anything outside as the dogs are very friendly but like to steal small items (my son's toy car and a shoe). You also cross train tracks on the way in and the train runs several times a day which is a little loud. All in all still a great place to camp 👍

Great location. Beautiful property. It rained on us a good bit, but the barn w/ outdoor kitchen area was a nice place to hang w/ plenty of space. Outdoor shower and bathroom is amazing. Checked out some trails nearby at cloudland canyon.. missed Luna lake as it was not open. George was very responsive and nice to talk with. I highly respect what he is doing and has done on this property.

I had a great time staying in this A-Frame. It stormed pretty bad while I was there and it proved to be strong and sturdy. Loved listening to the rain fall on the roof. The bed was comfortable and cozy. It was a beautiful property with the friendliest of dogs! I will definitely be coming back someday!

This was a great piece of land with a nice trail behind it that leads to a creek with plenty of room for many campers. It was nice to have potable water and a beautiful outdoor shower and toilet. I loved that there were some cats on the property that visited every now and then and the owner was very friendly and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Cabin and Barn on 20 Peaceful Acres

We enjoyed camping at the property with our kids and grandkids. It was my daughter and son-in-laws birthday weekend. The outdoor kitchen was stocked with all the utensils you could need and all kinds of useful things. It was amazing to be able to have a warm shower after a busy day chasing kids. Having availability to power really helped us stay comfortable. We didn't really use the cabin as my kids wanted to "camp", (in tents) but it was super nice to have that option as the weather was threatening severe storms. We had a magical family weekend that will live forever in our memories. Thanks George.

This place was AMAZING! Exactly what I wanted. Not near anyone. Perfect for my antisocial self 😉. It was just me and a friend, but this place has a ton of space. I love how it as the essentials for everything. I want to bring my grown kids back. They will love it.
