Weekend Trip to GlampKnox Canvas Campground

We enjoyed Tree Solo with our recent stay. The property is well kept and in a nice location, close to attractions in Knoxville yet wooded and private for those who want to stay in. I would recommend a more level location for the fire pit as it is sloped and cannot sit around the fire & maybe some fold up tables for inside to eat. Otherwise the place is great & peaceful. The mattress is the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on and I really want one for my home 😊

3 nights at GlampKnox Canvas Campground

My partner and I had an excellent stay at Glampknox! Serene setting, comfortable accommodations, an easy commute to Knoxville and adorable critters at every turn. Would definitely recommend to anybody thinking outside the typical hotel box. We’ll be back again, for sure!

3 nights at GlampKnox Canvas Campground

The property was beautiful and the host did a great job communicating with us before/during our stay. Our family of 6 slept comfortably in the Grande tent. We enjoyed spending time by the fire pit during the day and in the evenings (be sure to either bring dry wood or purchase from the hosts). It was also fun to see the horses on our way in/out of the property - we stopped by multiple times to feed them treats we purchased from the hosts. While we did not mind one bit, it may be helpful to note that there are 2 other smaller tents in the same vicinity and a beautiful barn down the hill which was used for a wedding during our stay. Again, the hosts did a great job communicating this to us and were clear about anything that may impact our stay (noise, main entrance closure, limited access to venue bathrooms/outdooor shower). The location itself is just a few minutes from major gas stations, grocery stores, trailers (we recommend House Mountain, there are several trails at varying levels) and an indoor pickleball facility. We had a great time and will definitely be back again with our family!

1 night at GlampKnox Canvas Campground

GlampKnox was beautiful, and the Tree Solo tent was amazing. Exactly as pictured, private but not too remote from the other 3 tents. Luxurious mattress was so comfy, cordless lanterns and fans handy, a large Jackery charger so I could keep my phone charged and have extra lights. I didn’t use the portable heater, but was very comfy all night with an additional down comforter I brought, even at 36 degrees! Pristine grounds and stables, with nearby well appointed bathrooms. Great communication from the host. So glad I found this this place—I’d definitely come back.
