2. TENT MOUNTAIN (Tenting Lane)

20mi from Harlan · 1 site · Tent
For those who want to “rough it” with mountain views and nature. 4-wheel-drive vehicles and motorcycles are welcome! This site is secluded on a cleared house pad designed for tents, a space for up to three small tents (bring your own). We provide a “toilet room” equipped with a solar fan, solar lights, and hospitality items, including toilet paper, paper towels, a trash can, potty gel (with instructions posted inside), and hand sanitizer. Also we provide a picnic table and fire pit with fire wood and cast iron pans to cook. You receive a gift bag to take with you! Enjoy meals at the picnic table beside the fire pit, overlooking the Newmans Ridge! Occasionally, you may hear the neighbor’s donkey, goats, or other farm animals nearby. Please respect the clearly marked “No Trespassing” areas. Relax around the fire pit, or take a short trip into our quaint little town; just a 20-minute drive over the mountains for shopping or a cozy coffee stop at the Lovely Iris Café. As of September the new restaurant in town on Main Street has breakfast, lunch and dinner! Nearby, you’ll also find Elrod Falls, a perfect spot to picnic or take a refreshing swim. At your campsite, a small trail leads down to a seasonal creek when water is flowing. ⚠️ Important Notes: Beware of wild animals. Hunting is strictly prohibited. Please pick up after yourself and use the trash receptacles provided. All food items must be secured to avoid attracting animals. Camping is at your own risk. 🚗 Access & Safety: Two neighbors share the same driveway so please drive slowly. Be cautious of poison ivy, poison oak, and Virginia creeper vines (examples shown in photos). If you run out of toilet paper, paper towels, or potty gel for the toilet, please stop by the next driveway up and speak to Kathie.
