Tracy City, TN · 9 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches from up-purposed materials.
Featuring:
* Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls.
* Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike.
* A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that glow after dark. Magical.
* Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen.
* Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes.
* Certified Hypnotherapy
Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring.
We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located.
I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one.
I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience.
If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Guild, TN · 23 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar-powered as we are not on the electric grid.
Some info about the property:
-we DO NOT have water or power hookups
-we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough)
-we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by)
-none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly)
-most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

Our location is phenomenal we are an hour from Knoxville and Asheville and just about 1/4 mile off I-40. Right at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and 35 minutes from Gatlinburg about 40 minutes to Pigeon Forge (Dollywood), also about 45 minutes to Sevierville and one of my favorite Tanger Outlets!! The beautiful Smoky Mountains the National Park is filled with hiking trails and horse stables and trails. Some of the best white water rafting is less then 5 miles up the road along with zip lining and a lil taste of moonshine here and there.
This property is primitive with no electric and has a camping style bathhouse. IT’s recommended for outdoor lovers and people that are not too needy. Hurricane Helene brought unforecasted changes in the land but the tranquility of the River remains. We have worked to restore as much as we could. As for us it’s still our happy place in the Smoky Mountains!

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Eight eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches from up-purposed materials.
Featuring:
* Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls.
* Two large caves at the end of a short, but rugged hike.
* A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy cottages and bio-luminescent trees that glow after dark. Magical.
* Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen.
* Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes.
* Certified Hypnotherapy
Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring.
We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located.
I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one.
I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience.
If you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Cosby, TN · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Our location is phenomenal we are an hour from Knoxville and Asheville and just about 1/4 mile off I-40. Right at the foothills of the Smoky Mountains and 35 minutes from Gatlinburg about 40 minutes to Pigeon Forge (Dollywood), also about 45 minutes to Sevierville and one of my favorite Tanger Outlets!! The beautiful Smoky Mountains the National Park is filled with hiking trails and horse stables and trails. Some of the best white water rafting is less then 5 miles up the road along with zip lining and a lil taste of moonshine here and there.
This property is primitive with no electric and has a camping style bathhouse. IT’s recommended for outdoor lovers and people that are not too needy. Hurricane Helene brought unforecasted changes in the land but the tranquility of the River remains. We have worked to restore as much as we could. As for us it’s still our happy place in the Smoky Mountains!

Hidden Timbers Homestead is a 7 acre campground retreat just 25 minutes outside the city of Nashville. With its open space and tall trees, it’s a private getaway still close to the action. The easy access and gravel roads give way to covered camping spots and quiet slips. The property also serves as a working homestead in its early years of development. On any given day you may be accompanied on your walks by our farm dogs or a chicken or two.
Here you’ll find peace.
It’s our goal that you leave revived and refreshed after hiding away for a few days on the homestead.

Truly the best weekend we've spent in a long time, if not ever. The sounds of the waterfall, birds, and gorgeous weather were absolute perfection. Grant & Becky were kind and attentive. They have built such a unique place. We loved sleeping outside underneath cozy blankets. Our dog had a BLAST. We are definitely planning on returning.

Weekend Trip to Honeysuckle Springs Smoky Mountains
The creekside glamping site was absolutely incredible in all ways: clean amenities, scenic views, a super comfy bed, and kind hosts. I loved how much wildlife I saw from a distance around the campsite, including a barn owl one night! I appreciated that the hosts put a heated blanket on the bed for my stay as well, it made a huge difference in my comfort during the chilly nights/early mornings.

We were lucky that we were the only guests there. My children enjoyed the forest a playing with the owners’ dogs. We loved the shower house and enjoyed taking showers every night. The tent was great, had everything we needed and temperature stayed comfortable there our whole stay. The owners were very kind and accommodating! Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future!

5 nights at GlampKnox Canvas Campground
We were pleasantly surprised with how wonderful our stay was at GlampKnox! We were expecting the basics of glamping i.e. Temperate Shower, the reinforced tent, and nice beds. However, GlampKnox takes it to the next step for their residents providing us with all the goodies we didn't think we would have: a power bank, fresh towels, a lantern, indoor trash can, and a HOT shower! On top of everything, throughout the extended stay the hosts did a wonderful job responding to and providing our needs whether firewood, water, or charging bank while promptly cleaning and resetting the other sites for the next guest.

This place is special. Like I always kind of want to leave a bad review so that nobody else finds out about it, but I couldn't do that because EVERYBODY needs to experience this incredible place. The property, the lodgings, the owners... All AMAZING. I will be back again and again for my sanity's sake. Love to you both, Grant and Becky!
