Stories from the community

1 night at Gray Hills

Such a beautiful place to camp! So quiet and beautiful views. We had a wonderful stay even though we were just passing through. Would definitely recommend. Steep drive in but 100% worth it. The host was extremely nice and helpful! Loved the brochure 😀

2 nights at Montgomery Plains

Gorgeous and so peaceful! The site was fairly level and we had an easy time parking and leaving. The bridge to get there is pretty narrow but we managed just fine. Hosts were friendly and responsive. Definitely recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Back To The Holler Riverside Camp

A beautiful spot along the the Clinch River. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

The place was beautiful!! They even had bowls out for our four legged friends. Loved it here and will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Fluffy Duckling Farm

Amazing hosts and property! Felt like a little piece of paradise and we so enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at night under a ton of stars!

3 nights at Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Always the best! So clean and peaceful. Saw lots of cool minnows. We'll be back before summer ends. Thanks y'all!!

1 night at Gray Hills

Hilltop Ridge was awesome! Super quiet, amazing views. There was a brief rain shower in the morning (the host did send us a message the day before that some rain may come through), but we did some exploring once it passed and walked around the pond loop before checking out. All the campsites are clearly marked and clean. Saw deer and 2 turkeys which was pretty cool. The host was very nice and communicative. 10/10 would go again!

4 nights at Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Peaceful beautiful place in the heart of the Smokies. Andy was wonderful helping us with directions and advice.

3 nights at Powell River Camp & Retreat

Beautiful and peaceful! Even though our trip got cut short due to the weather, we absolutely loved staying here! Couldn't have asked for a better spot; on the river and secluded. We enjoyed floating the river and seeing different wildlife and just sitting by the campfire listening to the water. Hosts went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be back one day!

3 nights at 10 acres on the Clinch River,

I had a little problem finding his land, so glad I seen the tubing signs on the entrance to his land. I stayed 3 nights and it was awesome. I was the only camper there. He was very nice to let me join a group that has signed up to go tubing and that was very exciting and fun!! He was a good host and would recommend anyone to camp there and take advantage of tubing down the river!!!😎

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

The environment is so peaceful and quiet. It a beautiful place to relax. The host was very helpful when I reached out to them.

2 nights at Wiley's Last Resort

Awesome site. Steve is a super nice and helpful guy & this property is great. Plenty of awesome spots + trails. Great overlooks & a general store down the road.

3 nights at Out On The Creek Campground & RV

Right in the middle of sneedville, TN. Beautiful. Swimming pool across street

6 nights at Out On The Creek Campground & RV

My husband and I loved our stay at site number two. The host takes great care in making sure the site is perfect and ready for you to enjoy your stay! We were looking for a clean creek area free of glass for our dogs to play in and this was just the place. If you are looking for the same thing, this site is an awesome option for kids or animals! The host is very responsive and makes sure that you are taken care of and have everything you need. The only complaint we had is that the site is right by the highway and the road traffic noise is very high, it didn't stop us from enjoying the place but it may be something to watch out for. Aside from that, we highly recommend site 2 and we will definitely be back!!!

2 nights at Fluffy Duckling Farm

Beautiful views. Gracious hosts. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to 10 acres on the Clinch River,

Beutiful place to camp stayed here many times, always enjoyed it!

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

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!

Weekend Trip to Out On The Creek Campground & RV

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

Gray Hills is a primitive escape for families, friends, and solo wanderers alike—designed to quiet the chaos, steady the soul, and focus on what truly counts. Our sites are surrounded by rolling hills, quiet woods, and big skies. Choose your experience: Pondside – Camp by the water where frogs sing at dusk and mist rises at dawn. Ideal for fishing, relaxing, or spotting wildlife. Bring your own kayak or rent one on site (availability varies). Hilltop – Secluded, breezy, and wide-open, with stunning sunrise and sunset views. Feels like the edge of the world. All sites are primitive—no hookups, no concrete, just fire pits, natural trails, and the kind of peace that gets into your soul. Our dirt roads are a little bumpy to keep speeds safe. The campsites, trails, and key spots are kept cleared—the rest stays wild for the deer, turkey, and everything else that lives here (yes, bugs too—bring your repellent!). A nearby train also runs on its own schedule—it’s part of the holler charm. If you love it rugged, real, and peaceful, join us at Gray Hills where you can breathe deep and stay wild!

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 … (please note the word 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 :)

Come enjoy the peace and serenity that God has bestowed on us. Step out of the rat race and enjoy slow pace of the country, the scenery and animals. Or go fishing or ride your motorcycle on the many nearby motorcycle rides like Tail of the Dragon, The Mini Dragon, Copperhead Road and many others. The locals are friendly and the scenery is breathtaking. Come and relax and take in the fresh country air.Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent near the creek. Enjoy the sounds of rippling water, beautiful night sky and a communal campfire if you’d like. There are few amenities as we are just starting off. But we are flexible, accommodating and will allow use of our porta-potty and water well, if you need. Just ask for drinking water as we collect it in jugs at the spring for ourselves and will be happy to share. We have over 50 acres to explore and even an old log cabin if you care to brave the woods to find it.
