Stories from the community

2 nights at Fluffy Duckling Farm

Beautiful views. Gracious hosts. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Everything. When I reached out they replied. I can't wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

I believe this was our 4th stay at site 2 & it never disappoints. We spend most of our time playing in the creek. We're already booked again next month!

Weekend Trip to Happy Camper at Floras Retreats

We loved our stay here! One night definitely wasn’t enough, we definitely plan on returning this year!

3 nights at Backyard Warriors

I was looking for a place close to camp with my dogs, found this place and was really surprised! Rolling fields and wooded sites, each conveniently provided with a trash barrel and fire pit are provided at each site. Add in delicious Filipino food freshly cooked and served on site, and it’s a deal that can’t be beat. Kyle responds to messages quickly through the app and said to let him know if I needed anything at all, which I did not. Porta-potties are provided on both ends of the camp road, and water is available at each site. There are no electrical connections so come ready for that. But if you can “semi-rough” it, this is your place.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Clean,friendly, and right on the creek. I would stay again!

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp

Beautiful view, gated area, super nice hosts. My kids loved being greeted by their dogs and seeing their horses and sheep! I would definitely recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rock Bottom Horse Camp

Amazing site with perfect amenities. Our 2nd time staying here and it’s even better! Great host!!

Weekend Trip to Powell River Camp & Retreat

We absolutely loved camping here right next to the river! We didn’t have our own tent and the host provided one for us and set everything up before we got there. They also included a few cast iron pans for cooking, a hammock and plenty of firewood. The tent was set up right next to the river with our own private fire pit.

Weekend Trip to Tranquil- Lakefront living

This site is a hidden treasure! We throughly enjoyed our stay over Easter weekend and loved how accommodating the hosts were. Shaylen left some firewood to start us out which was so helpful. Also, we caught a turtle fishing on the lake so that was a huge highlight. Thanks for an amazing stay and can’t wait for next time!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Camping

Property was a peaceful getaway, owner was very nice and brought us some wood and a fire pit.

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp

The host John and his wife and 3 totally adorable dogs are wonderful. The facilities are new, clean and well maintained. If you have horses the trails are right there to get into the national park .. a beautiful park!! My son who I was traveling with is partially physically challenged. John has the most advanced trail accessibility equipment available… some electric all terrain and others that are arm strength propelled. He and his wife are also very involved in the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park and volunteer their time there. I would recommend this place without hesitation.

1 night at Rock Bottom Horse Camp

Fantastic place and wonderful host. Very positive, beautiful and uplifting place to stay.

1 night at Fluffy Duckling Farm

I extended my stay at Joe & Cindy's numerous times. It was such a lovely, peaceful location. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Black Fox Camping/Camper

The site itself was easy to get to, instructions were very clear. John was generous enough to leave tongs, a spatula, an axe, and a fire starter for our use. I had an amazing time staying here!

4 nights at Morning Star's Mountain View

Tammy and her husband Richard were such wonderful hosts !! It was such a wonderful experience. The views were absolutely gorgeous. You were at the top of there a little mountain and can see so much even when it is cloudy. Their hospitality and graciousness was amazing. I look forward to being able to return again to see them. They were very down to earth and I love talking with them over hot tea and coffee. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone. The experience was so peaceful and they are two dogs were so loving and gave me great joy.

Weekend Trip to Rock Bottom Horse Camp

I loved tent camping here! The area is amazing with a lot to do nearby. The host was very responsive and hospitable. I will definitely be planning another trip here.

4 nights at Fluffy Duckling Farm

This Hipcamp was fantastic! I loved it so much that I kept extending my stay! It is situated on top of a mountain and the views are outstanding. You'll hear the donkeys braying occasionally and the cows across the way mooing. It is a lovely, bucolic setting. The hook-ups are situated right next to the horses' and donkeys' pen, which I loved. The horses came up to greet me when I first arrived. I parked my van with my side doors facing the pen so that I (and my dog) could watch them. The other direction faces the hosts' house and two Airbnb cottages with long-term renters, so it's not entirely private, but it was fine as all were quiet and respectful. I can't say enough great things about the hosts, Joe and Cindy. They are such wonderful, kind, generous people. They checked in with me occasionally to make sure everything was okay, including in the middle of a bad storm. One thing to note is that cell service is non-existent after turning off the highway, so it is important to make sure you contact the hosts before then.

Weekend Trip to Rock Bottom Horse Camp

The view at Rock Bottom Horse Camp is beautiful. The camp was very peaceful. I was the only person there initially; however, another person did show up a bit later and I was under the impression that he was a "walk-in;" so, if that is the case, it's helpful to know that this camp accepts them. This Hipcamp caters to campers with horses, but will accept non-horse campers, as well. I highly recommend Rock Bottom Horse Camp.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Black Fox Camping/Camper

Our night at John's land was great! The perfect spot for a weekend trip. Directions were clear, camper was adorable, and the host provided many useful items. Wonderful campsite, will definitely come again!

smokey mountain homestead

1 site · Lodging90 acres · Baileyton, TN

I would consider our homestead very mature from the standpoint of organic food production. We have been here 13 years developing the infrastructure. We raise three different kinds of heritage animal breeds as part of our permaculture regime - rabbits, chickens & pigs. I help found the Appalachian Homestead Association where we help teach people to raise their own food on a small homestead and learn what grows well locally. I teach permaculture and we have an extensive permaculture setup. We have large fenced garden using raised beds & low tunnels, as well as a year round greenhouse. We also have large growing spaces outside the fenced garden. We make extensive use of leaves which we collect from our woodland, then shred, then compost and finally filter thru a trommel I designed. We use the fine leaves as part of our soil block mix and larger leaf fragments for mulch. We use the 21 day fast compost method. Our pigs are the American Guinea Hog which is the original homestead pig dating back to the beginning of the US. They are very docile and friendly, small compared to commercial pink pigs. They forage on grass and acorns vs rooting like many other pig breeds. We also free range them. We are members of the American Guinea Hog Association. We recently purchased a bandsaw mill to utilize our woodland to construct additional building on the homestead and are now constructing a solar wood kiln for drying the sawmill output. Organic methods: We follow the Intelligent Gardner for soil health. We make heavy use of companion planting to deter pests. Certifications: we are organic in practice, but not certified Internet access provided, we have very high speed fiber connected wifi.

Tranquil- Lakefront living

1 site · RV, Tent1 acre · Bean Station, TN

This secluded spot on a private drive is a perfect little getaway location. You have lake view and lake access by foot. Vehicles can be parked on the 25 ft stretch of grass pad above the campsite, or pulled down the hill onto site at vehicle owners' discretion. Fire pit is on premise and ready for use with a walking trail to the water. Kayaks are available for rental to navigate Cherokee Lake. Trees surround you full of wild rabbits, birds and squirrels. Down at the water about 50 ft from your site you have the availability to fish, wade in the water, Kayak, or sit and watch the ducks, geese, turtles and more. This is a private drive but has four sites so please respect other tenants who have come to enjoy seclusion and serenity during their stay. We are in a rural area about 22 minutes from main town. However, there are restaurants, a Blue Bell ice cream parlor, a grocery store and post office all within 8 minutes. We are 12 minutes from one of the best Disc Golf courses, 25 minutes from Parks/trails/waterfalls, and only about an hour from major tourist sites in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg/ Knoxville/Bristol Speedway. You will have solitude during your stay but opportunities for communication and aid from the host is available. The site can be busier during holiday breaks as this is off a main road and is on Cherokee lake so noise echos on the water, and there may be other renters checking in other units just a heads up. HAPPY TRAVELING TO YOU :)

Gray Hills

8 sites · RVs, Tents150 acres · Barbourville, KY

Welcome to Gray Hills, a tranquil retreat that covers 150 acres in the scenic foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in southeast Kentucky. Easy to reach, yet off the beaten path—just 20 minutes from I-75, nestled in a quiet holler—this destination is perfectly tailored for families, friends, and those in search of solitude, providing a rejuvenating escape from everyday pressures. Experience the soothing sounds of nature while making unforgettable memories. For the adventurous, take a hike to the ridgeline for breathtaking views, or spend a relaxing day fishing in our stocked 2-acre pond. Our primitive campsites offer a peaceful, off-grid experience surrounded by rolling hills, quiet forests, and scenic views. Choose from a variety of unique sites: Pondside – Set up camp by the water, where frogs sing at dusk and mist rises off the surface in the early morning. Great for fishing, relaxing, or watching wildlife. Feel free to bring your kayak and enjoy the water, but please wear a life vest and skip the swim. Kayak rentals offered—availability may vary. Hilltop – Wake up to views of the Appalachian foothills and enjoy the sunrises and sunsets that light up the sky. These elevated spots offer privacy, cool breezes, and a true backcountry feel. Dirt roads, wild land, and no concrete in sight—all sites are primitive—no hookups or modern amenities—just raw, natural beauty. Whether you’re hammock camping, pitching a tent, or rolling in with a minimal setup, this is your spot to slow down and unplug. Fire pits at each site and natural trails throughout the property make it easy to explore and unwind. Nature takes over once you leave the main highway—cell service gets pretty thin, so plan accordingly! The one-lane dirt road is bumpy on purpose to keep speeds safe for walkers. It’s passable for most vehicles, just take it slow and don’t overload. Only the campsites are cleared—everything else is left wild for the local wildlife. We don’t manicure the woods, and we like it that way. Nature’s all around us, bugs included—bring your repellent! Just a heads-up: A nearby train may roll through at any time—it's part of the holler charm! Primitive camping isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. But if you love it rugged and real, welcome to Gray Hills.
