Roamstead was born on a family RV trip across the country. Our founders noticed their glamorous plans often ended in glorified parking lots or dirty campgrounds without amenities or thought regarding design. Alongside that, many campgrounds seemed unapproachable to those who hadn’t been before. A vision was born to reinvent 'roughing it' in a way that could welcome all adventurers to experience the magic of the great outdoors. We believe the beauty of nature should be experienced by everyone. It's good for your health, and the more we connect with and learn about the outdoors, the more we'll feel compelled to protect it. Whether you've been camping all your life or this would be your first trip, we're here for you. We aim to build a bridge (you know, a metaphorical one) to the great outdoors, where all adventures can truly feel welcome. Roamstead is committed to making our outdoor spaces accessible to everyone. At our Smoky Mountains location, we're partnering with Friends of the Smokies to do just that. Friends assists the National Park Service in its mission to preserve and protect the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by raising funds and public awareness, and providing volunteers for needed projects. They restore trails, build handicap accessible access points, and provide urban youth educational opportunities in the park, to name just a few of their many projects. A dollar of each stay at Roamstead Smoky Mountains is donated back to Friends of the Smokies to help continue their mission.

Bryan was already outside ( in the rain) to greet us before I even contacted him. He has great overnight sites and the electric hookup makes it nicer than many quick stops! We relaxed and were ready to hit the road again the next morning.

Camping on Kim’s land was a dream! Loved the platform for the tent and the table for preparing food. We saw owls and some beautiful deer came by for a visit. I def recommend getting the firewood as an add-on, it was already delivered to our site when we arrived. This is an actual private campsite and was so serene and peaceful. Can’t wait to go back, 10/10 recommend!

Such a great location: open, quiet (other than some noisy dogs), flat, spacious. Host was very pleasant, checked in on us, placed us in a more advantageous spot over near the barn, and even brought us firewood and had a nifty ignition system for it. Highly recommended, just bring a radio and roll those windows up if those neighbor’s dogs get a wild hair.

Beautiful property and views! Nice, flat lot for our pop up. Owners or someone always nearby and offered fired wood if needed. Truly lived up to its name with a really pretty evening and morning fog. A couple farm dogs were with owner, very friendly and well behaved, follows owner, not guests.
