Come and reconnect with nature and park your RV on our private, large, shaded, full hookup, 72 ft long, 30 and 50 amp RV site with wifi on our 50 acre farm with fire ring and picnic table and screen house. We are not a campground, just a small farm in a rural neighborhood with 2 full hookup RV sites for guests.  30 minutes (17miles) North of Nashville, Tennessee. There are wild Turkeys and Deer that roam the property. We also have some free range Guineas and Peacocks which is why we ask that all dogs, while welcome, remained leashed at all times. Great place to get away and enjoy nature, take a walk on our trails through the woods, take a hike down to our creek, listen to the birds and watch the sunset over the pasture while cooking s’mores on the fire, yet not that far from Nashville!  Perfect for enjoying nature and/or visiting Nashville. Traveling with horses? They are welcome to use our fenced pasture. This site is for self contained RVs only, there are no restroom facilities. Check in is between 2 pm and sundown. No check ins after dark without prior approval. Limit of 2 vehicles and 2 pets. When you request to book just let us know how many people will be camping, how many pets you will be bringing with you and what you are camping in, travel trailer or motor home, and what length in feet it is. Thank you! Since this is a natural area of fields and woods, along with farm animals and wildlife you may encounter insects. We recommend bringing insect repellent for mosquitoes and ticks and making sure that your pets have protection also.

Tennessee Timber Hideaway

1 site · Lodging15 acres · Hilham, TN
We have 15 acres located in unincorporated Hilham, TN. Dry Mill Creeks runs behind our property, and after a good rain it’s a nice creek to explore. We are working on the natural spring on our property to have even more of a water feature! My husband and I turned a 12X20 shed into an adorable tiny home, equipped with so many comforts- including heating and cooling, running water, washing machine, shower, toilet, WiFi and a smart TV. If someone is wanting to test out tiny living, our home is the best place to try! We are also 1.5 hours either direction of Nashville or Knoxville. We are 15 minutes outside of the city of Livingston which offers the standard amenities including grocery stores, a cute town square, and places to eat. Wednesday through Friday you can always stop in and check out Mayhue Masters General store for some BBQ, supplies, and snacks located right at the top of Turkeytown Rd. PLEASE READ: The driveway to the cabin is steep and gravel. A 4 wheel drive vehicle is recommended but not necessary. We suggest you arrive with daylight in mind, the road in is very dark at night. We ask that our guests please provide their own bedding and towels, if you cannot, the cabin lines are available for an additional $20 fee. There are free roaming dogs in the area. Mostly they stay away. Some come for a visit and are harmless, feel free to tell them to “go home” If you are bringing your dog with you, be mindful of this, as we are not responsible for your dogs interactions with others.

Holler Homestead Woodsy Retreat

1 site · RV, Tent3 acres · Lancaster, TN
We discovered this small homestead 16 years ago. It was built by a man preparing to go off grid, but he never did. In the intervening time, we became enthralled with growing vegetables, raising poultry and hiking the hills behind us. Then Nicole discovered permaculture and began the process of changing the land using these practices. With our three dogs, cats, goats, ducks and chickens, things can be pretty merry around her. There are aquaponics and hydroponics to check out for fun. Plus, Nicole is one of the region's only craft coffee roasters, so you are in for a treat if you come visit and like coffee because she tends to hand visitors sample packs. Learn more about this land: Hang your hammock or pitch your tent in the back acres of a small homestead integrating permaculture practices. Hang out in our land for your whole visit checking out the holler we live in, dunk in the creek by the road, or drive over the hill to Center Hill Marine, or across the dam to Edgar Evins State park. or canoe the Caney Fork River! Sorry - No dogs please. Kayaking and fishing is also so close you can almost hear it - but you can't. Which is good.  Our property has a composting outhouse and the outdoor shower attached to the house has hot and cold water. We also have a nice, outdoor kitchen area to share that has a big sink and blackstone griddle. There is Wifi in the kitchen area and a plug for recharging devices. The camp site is a two-minute walk from the driveway and outhouse so be prepared to carry items in and take your morning constitutional walk.  We sometimes have available for sale eggs, freshly roasted coffee, jams and jellies. This is a functioning homestead, so we may be hosting an open house event, processing chickens, or some other fun digging activity during your stay.
