Stories from the community

3 nights at Lakefront Open Lot

Shaylen really saved the day for me this weekend! My original camping spot didn’t pan out, but I was able to book this spot and show up within 10 minutes. If you’re looking for a spot out in the woods, this isn’t the spot for you. But if you just need a safe place to camp, I definitely recommend it! It was way quieter than I expected, and the price was great. My dog didn’t have issues with surrounding sounds. Shaylen is very accommodating.

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.

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.
