Weekend Trip to Savvy Retreat

Savvy Retreat is the perfect spot for a private getaway. The hosts have thought of everything, making it such a comfortable stay. We will definitely be visiting here again!

7 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

We camped here for two weeks and were sad to leave. Jessa and Nathan made us feel very at home, tucked away in this precious holler. We enjoyed the silence of the night, the fog in the morning, the creek near our campsite, and the incredible hike right on property. We stayed in our 30 foot converted school bus in one of their RV back in sites. We were able to park quite easily, and there was plenty of space to maneuver the bus into the spot. The sites were level with gravel. The creek was actually quite warm to swim in. Our starlink internet worked well! Nathan and Jessa were friendly and quick to respond to any of our messages through Hipcamp. They were happy to share any cool things about the property or the town of Berea. They were respectful of our privacy and also made great company while using the kitchen in the community space. We had a fun time in the moments connecting with them over their garden and chickens. We certainly intend to be back. We really liked the community aspect of their property, encouraging people to connect. We also liked that they had their own products for sale at a reasonable price. We enjoyed everything from their eggs, asparagus, to things like apple butter and fresh garlic powder; all from their own land. We appreciated their complementary springwater. Their generosity and kind hearts truly made this beautiful holler a gem you are going to want to visit. Thank you for such a great experience. We hope to cross paths again!

Weekend Trip to Bar on the Mountain

This site has amazing views! There were three tents and could easily accommodate more. We a rain storm the first night and the bar was great hang out area to keep dry.

2 nights at Bar on the Mountain

This site has the most gorgeous views. The property was clean and easy to access. The Bar was weathered and rustic which made the experience more outdoorsy authentic. I enjoyed it for the short amount of time I got to stay. The only thing that was a downer was that the the 2 sites are a little to close to be considered secluded. You can hear each sites conversations. But I do hope to be back again in the near future and bring a bunch more people.

Great trip. The bar is very cool. Really enjoyed the sunrise.

4 nights at Serenity Camp

Very nice area for a rustic camp! This is an animal lovers paradise with horses nearby, lots of rabbits running around, and a very diverse and active bird population. Very calm, but a little bit of noise pollution at night where we could hear cars, ATVs, and many dogs on adjoining properties kept outdoors. This would typically quiet down around 1am. Also, there is a very vocal whippoorwill in this area that will keep you company all night :) This may be an issue for light sleepers or the superstitious! As for the views, we could not see much at our spot although surrounding trees and starry skies were charming, but my expectations were a little different based on other reviewers' pictures. Regardless, this is a good deal for a bare bones camper, and the location is a short drive from all of the RRG sites.

6 nights at Bar on the Mountain

Our 3rd stay. Still an amazing site. No clue why someone complained about an unbearable oil smell in a review, 3 times there never noticed it. Lot of ticks around the site this trip but that's the whole Gorge area, so pack the bug spray. Planning our next trip already. Can't beat the view.

It was a pleasure to meet Jessa and her husband. Thanks for.sheltering us in a storm. I love your place!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

We LOVED camping here, Jamie was so helpful in finding our campsite in the dark- and when we woke up we were in such a nice little spot in the woods! Absolutely everything we were looking for in this camping trip.

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

Lots are very separated with lots of flat spaces and Jamie was very accommodating when we asked to be closer to the woods. Price is great even with no water, elec, bathrooms, etc....

4 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

Amazing as always! We had a group of 50 there in all types of camping (campers, tents, treehouses, etc). Everyone had a great time and we were able to both gather as a group and have some fruitful family time. Looking forward to coming back!

2 nights at Serenity Camp

Beautiful place to camp in a more secluded area. Very close to the Gorge and trails, with stores/restaurants nearby as well.

Weekend Trip to Bar on the Mountain

we stayed at the top shelf and it was our first time coming to this site and it’s amazing! a ton of space for tents and activities. the view is amazing, se saw a fon of stars at night, and its pretty secluded (besides the bar side lol). we will definitely be coming back and booking the bar side!

1 night at Serenity Camp

Amazing place to get away! Very private and the view was great

2 nights at Bar on the Mountain

Nice level site and really well maintained with gravel allowing any rain to drain well. Beautiful ridge top location that was quiet at night. The stars were lovely. The site was large and allowed us ample room to set up our teardrop trailer and to have space for our camp chairs, etc. The porta potty is close enough to be convenient as well. The directions to get to the site were great. They made it easy to find where we were going even after exiting onto a steep mountain gravel road.

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Excellent place to unwind and relax! We opted to camp in the field under a star filled sky. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. The community barn is top notch! We can’t wait to stay again!

Weekend Trip to Serenity Camp

absolutely beautiful campsite with a wonderful host. only 20-30 minutes from RRG while still feeling secluded and quiet. plenty of space and campsites to choose from, right next to so many horses and plenty of stars to gaze at. would 100% recommend!!

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Jessa and Nathan have created a beautiful space for quiet, and community. We stayed four years ago and were amazed at all they've accomplished in that time. We've camped both times and loved our experience. Next time we'd love to stay in one of the thoughtfully built structures.

Weekend Trip to Bar on the Mountain

Beautiful campground. Highly recommend! Very important to follow the written directions though, GPS tried rerouting through some rough terrain but overall camping here was an amazing experience

I moved back here a few years ago to my home place where I grew up. To me it is the most relaxing thing I can do to just sit by a bonfire and look at the view.
