There is a designated campfire area, and we kindly ask guests not to burn fires at their campsite. In addition to our new flower field and personal vegetable garden, the farm is home to one retired musician (me); one super cool shih tzu (Sirius); and 24 chickens.

Weekend Trip to Moon Lake Farm - Camp, Fish, Relax

We really enjoyed our weekend on John’s land, and wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Beautiful countryside, and our little girls really enjoyed all of the animals. Didn’t try our hand at fishing this trip, but did take a stroll around the property on a perfectly manicured path. Great cell signal for streaming some Saturday afternoon football. We slid over to RV1, and it was a super-easy back-in

Our stay at Silverwater Campground in Counce Tennessee was an awesome stay. A stone's throw away from Shiloh National Military Park. Covered RV sites with full hookups at a terrific price. Host very accommodating. Have family in the area. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Frog Pond Tent Camp

Sevylla was a great host and her property was perfect for my solo weekend trip to Tennessee. Sevylla met me on arrival, showed me around the property and was extremely nice and helpful. The campsite was very clean and well maintained and the platform for my tent made for a comfortable nights sleep. Would definitely stay here in the future.

Weekend Trip to Alpaca Farm and Forested Area

Delightful experience! Myles was so kind, communicative, and informational. The space is super peaceful and lovely. I saw armadillos, alpacas, chickens, and pears! Super quiet and close to Wolf/Ghost river kayaking and amenities in Jackson, Bolivar, and La Grange, TN. I highly recommend this campsite.

The farm site was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Kiddos especially loved the friendly animals. They loved getting to pet the horses, little donkeys, and cats. John provided a nice screened in sitting area as well as a hot shower and clean restroom. We didn't have time to go fishing, but the lake was serene. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you, John!

Beautiful property with lake to walk around

I had my little teardrop camper and loved the property, horses, etc so much. Great getaway and great responsive hosts. Coming back soon with my fishing pole to catch and release a big one!

RV Site 1 & 2 right next to each other. Electric and water for both sites are near the picnic area to the right of the gravel pad.

Weekend Trip to Moon Lake Farm - Camp, Fish, Relax

This location was easy to find and absolutely beautiful! John and his family were very friendly and welcoming. I pulled in about an hour before sunset, setup, made dinner, and found a peaceful cozy place to eat that overlooks the lake. The sunset and sunrise was beautiful! Hung out by the lake until the sun went down. The bathroom was easy to find and shower was warm. Thanks for opening your property to Hipcamp and for your welcoming hospitality.

I unfortunately got there too late to properly enjoy all that there was to offer. The lake was beautiful. The animals around were fun to see. I introduced my dog to some of them for her first time. There was a breeze way area for a place to cook, eat, shower, and even hang out. I was unlucky and got rained on during the night, but luckily there's a pavillion with a roof that I moved my tent under.

3 nights at Moon Lake Farm - Camp, Fish, Relax

The site was level. large fishing pond to catch and release. There was a screened in porch with a full bathroom and kitchenette space for your use. There was not a stove though so keep that in mind. My only concern was that the water and power for the rv sites were shared..so if both sites were being used 1 person would need an extra long water and power cord. The animals were all friendly.

The outdoor kitchen and the the shower was heaven for primitive camping. But the Lake in the early morning is breath taking so if you are looking for a place to get away and have some privacy and great folks as your host
