41mi from Scottsville · 1 site · Tent, RV

Welcome to Hidden Valley Haven, a peaceful 11-acre retreat tucked just outside Nashville where the stars shine bright and the sounds of nature echo through the woods. Designed for self-contained RV travelers, our property offers a rustic, no-frills escape into Tennessee’s countryside — complete with electric, water, and a septic dump spot. Bring your own RV and choose between two private camping spots: 🌲 Forest Retreat Site – Tucked deeper into the property for maximum seclusion and wooded charm. To access it, you’ll back in about a football-field length on gravel. 🌊 Creekside Site – Near the small bridge, offering easier access while still surrounded by trees and nature. Each site is spaced roughly a football field apart, ensuring privacy while sharing a peaceful, family-managed space. Hosts live on-site nearby and maintain other guest properties, but your area is separate and private. ✅ Site Amenities: • 30/50-amp electric hookup • Fresh water access • Private septic dump station (not directly plumbed to RV site) • Spacious gravel pad for slide-outs, awnings, and chairs • Rustic fire ring area (BYO firewood, observe burn bans) • Wooded views and light nature trails on-site 🚷 Boundaries & Hiking Access: Guests are welcome to explore within Hidden Valley Haven’s private 11 acres, including the gravel drive, wooded trails west of the road, and the Potential Hiking Area shown on our property map. Please do not go beyond any “No Trespassing” signs, fences, or the top of the hill past the RV sites, as the adjoining land belongs to our neighbors. The property maps in our photo gallery clearly show: • Guest zones (RV sites, trails, drive, and hiking area) • Family-only zones (home, pool, volleyball) • Neighboring no-access land (highlighted in yellow) Staying within the marked zones keeps everyone safe and ensures good relations with nearby landowners. 🔔 Before Booking: • Bring your own RV. • Access road and bridge are solid gravel but can be muddy after heavy rain. • No smoking, parties, or loud music. • Pets must stay leashed and within guest zones. • RV waste must be dumped only at the approved station. Perfect for travelers seeking a quiet, starlit place to recharge — close enough to Nashville, yet far enough to hear the crickets sing.

16 nights at Hidden Valley Haven

We loved staying at Hidden Valley. The rv spot is surrounded by trees, a cute little creek, a hiking trail, plus full hookups & wifi. Family and dog friendly space, yet feels quite private. Only about 25min to downtown Nashville! It's the perfect spot, a nature lovers delight ❤️

Weekend Trip to Caney Fork Hunter Fisher Paradise

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is such a peaceful spot. The cabin was well stocked for an off grid camp. Coffee, plates and cups were all provided. It is a bit of a hike from the parking lot but nothing too intense.

Weekend Trip to Caney Fork Hunter Fisher Paradise

My pup and I had a wonderful stay on Ashley’s land. The A-frame was perfectly placed in the woods and after a mini hike to it, we settled in and enjoyed nature’s sounds and peace. Would definitely recommend a visit. Do pack light though as its a small hike up to camp. I had a small bag, pup pack and a cooler and broke a good sweat to get to it. Will for sure return next time I’m in town!
