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.

Enjoyed my quick stay at Jamey’s glamping site. Frida is very cozy and has all the basic things you need to glamp. Love that it by the water and can hear the water sound. Perfect place to unplug!

Walking distance to Maderon Bald Trail Head, and an organic coffee shop and book store.

Tim was an excellent host, kept us well stocked with firewood and the airstream had everything in it we needed. Beautiful spot for campfires and starlight. This is the perfect spot to stay for visiting the smokes, pigeon forge, Gatlinburg, etc. We were within an hour drive of everything we wanted to do. We even extended our stay by another day. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Moonshine Ridge Campground

Cool spot that was close to so many things! The camper had everything we needed and was a cozy spot to rest for the weekend. It did smell a bit dingy/musty, but I think that's what you get when staying in an old camper :) It didn't negatively effect our stay and we would definitely stay here again. We enjoyed having the ability to sit by the fire and not stress about gathering/chopping wood. We were able to light the fire, sit back, and enjoy. There is a coffee/book shop within walking distance of the camper that sells amazing coffee and has a huge variety of books/gift items! If you go, ask the owner about the nightmares and nausea t-shirts lol

We loved staying here! It was a very quiet area and so nice to wake up with the sounds of the stream right next to us. This was our first time going to gatlinburg area and it was awesome to be able to come back each day and relax in our cute airstream. Jamey was also very helpful and made sure our stay was as relaxing as possible. They helped set up the airstream before we got there since it was pouring by the time we got there! Next time we go to gatlinburg area, we will definitely be staying with Jamey again!

Tim is a incredible host who was super flexible, we stayed with 5 pups and he had everything set up for us when we arrived much later than expected, and he did not hesitate to offer us a late checkout, and when we fell in love the home feeling we even decided to stay a extra night! Although it was to hot there was more than enough Firewood supplied. Can't wait to see all his plans come to fruition can't wait to visit again. (Great only 15 minutes to the heart of gatlinburg and 30 from pigeon forge)

The location is perfect if you’re looking for somewhere that’s really tranquil and close to the nature. Really enjoyed the creek in front of our airstream. The airstream itself is also very lovely. I like its vintage style.

This was a great stay in a vintage Airstream! It’s nice and quiet and surrounded by gorgeous trees, and Tim checked on us to be sure we had everything we needed. The camper was very comfortable and includes linens, towels, and basic kitchen supplies and coffee. We loved staying here and would definitely stay again!
