Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

I recently spent a weekend at a cozy cabin in the woods, and it was the perfect getaway. The cabin was tucked away in a serene location, surrounded by the peaceful sounds of nature. It had a rustic charm with modern touches The highlight of the stay was the porch, where we could sip hot coffee in the mornings while soaking in the fresh mountain air. We spotted some wildlife, which made the experience feel truly immersive. The cabin’s host was incredibly friendly, offering great tips on nearby attractions and ensuring everything was well-stocked. The only downside was the lack of cell service (which was actually a blessing in disguise), Overall, it was a peaceful, rejuvenating escape from city life. I’d highly recommend this kind of cabin retreat for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge.

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Great place to relax . Lake looks like spring water and was good fishing.

5 nights at Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

I love the campsite it was honestly pretty peaceful it did rain and the storm was supposed to get pretty bad so we had left early but 10 out of 10 recommend it’s absolutely beautiful out there. The porta potties are very clean just so cozy. And Tabitha is so sweet and respectful and welcoming this is the best place I have stayed at in a while loved my time here will be coming back ♥️

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

I love the set up. Very lovely property. Lots of deer, tucked away with a good view of covenant college. Robert had lots of history of the area and his lineage which was awesome. Also bc we got there late and storms were coming in he made sure we were good with a preset up tent. Can’t say enough about his hospitality and looking forward to staying again.

1 night at Covenant View Camp and Retreat

Robert was very friendly and accommodating. The property had great views and I enjoyed the sounds of the creek.

Weekend Trip to Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

I upgraded to a tent site. It was lovely. Shaded. Private. Great amenities and lovely staff.

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

We loved this place! It was so peaceful and beautiful. Plenty of firewood and the sites are so spacious. The paddleboats are a great touch and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Went Rooftop Tent camping with my youngest and my dog to check this place out. Even though it rained 90 percent of our stay and we had a blowout on the trailer tire on the way home, I've already booked another stay with the rest of the family in a few weeks. That's how nice this place is. Boats, fish, shower, firewood, peace and quiet, This place is a gem and there is nothing about staying here that you will regret.

4 nights at Deer Valley RV Park

It was a great spot! Quiet, low-key and close to groceries, food, etc. There’s only four RV spots, and so it was real mellow, hardly even ever saw the two other people that were there at the same time as me. The sound of traffic can be heard in the distance, but it dies down at night and is not beyond what one could expect when close to all the conveniences. There are only four RV spots and their next to a few scattered houses on the same area of land so it makes you feel like you’re part of a little community, though I never really saw anybody. I would definitely stay again when I’m passing through the area.

11 nights at Deer Valley RV Park

Deer Valley RV is a hidden gem—quiet, peaceful, and the perfect spot to unwind. The grounds are well-kept and inviting, ideal for anyone looking to relax and enjoy nature. Host Bill goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome, offering friendly hospitality and helpful local tips. Whether you're staying for a night or a week, this place feels like a true escape. Highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Hammock’Sway Private Off Grid Camp

We went for 4th anniversary. It was wonderfully peaceful and freeing. The trip down to the river was a lovely walk and the river space itself was breathtaking.

Weekend Trip to Campsites Fall Creek Falls Stables

Tent camped here to attend an event at Fall Creek Falls Park. Would stay again! Great location, the bath house was nice. Mostly had the place to ourselves because it was a wet rainy weekend. Plenty of room for my tent and vehicle. Picnic table at the site.

Weekend Trip to Fireside Camp + Lodge

We really enjoyed our stay! A nice quiet field and accommodation. Plenty of flat land to set up on. The stars at night were great. We will definitely stay again when passing through and recommend to friends.

Weekend Trip to Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

Had a great time! Cleanest portapotty I've ever seen at a camp site! Good time all around!

Weekend Trip to Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

Finding the campsite was easy with Tabitha’s directions. It poured down raining the entire weekend and we were the only ones around so it was a great time. We used the covered shed on the property to dry some things out. The porta potty was clean-clean. I was not expecting that at all. It was perfect for our weekend at FCF State Park.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

It was nice to stay somewhere out of the ordinary. My daughter loved the trampoline tent. The waterfall was beautiful. The host was incredibly nice and the property was peaceful.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We loved our stay! We had a lot of unexpected rain during our stay, but hanging out in the Yurtle was so fun! The property provided ample space to explore and the outdoor shower was wonderful! We will definitely stay again when in the area.

Weekend Trip to Deer Valley RV Park

Very new well maintained! Easy in and out. We did not even unhook our fifth wheel. Sites were quite level and like I said the infrastructure is new water, power, and sewer. No issues at all. Great place to stay for a few nights or just one. The only trick is you need to sign in through hip camp, they are a partner with Harvest host, but you cannot sign in through that app.

1 night at Elk Head Overlook

It was a great little site to see a pretty view , only thing didn’t like all the traffic during the night time. Other than that it was great!

Whippoorwill Woods Nature Retreat

4 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · South Pittsburg, TN

Opening March 1 for the 2025 camping season! Three years ago our multi-generational family decided to go on an adventure. We had talked about moving to the woods for years, but finally decided to turn our dreams into reality. After hiking through what felt like every property for sale over 100 acres in North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, we finally found the perfect spot. Why do we call our property Whippoorwill Woods? Did you know that whippoorwills don’t nest in trees? They lay their eggs on the ground in the forest. They’re birds that love camping! As soon as we heard the whippoorwills start singing in the spring, we knew it was the perfect name. We’re so excited to share our property with campers who love nature as much as we do. We specifically set up the campsites to give as much privacy as possible. We hope you’ll come visit and soak up the bird songs, the wind in the trees, and the beautiful sunsets over the mountains. We have 20 acres of savannah grassland full of native plants and wildflowers and over 80 untouched acres full of awesome rock formations and creeks with waterfalls available for you to hike. There's a stocked fish pond for catch and release fishing and a gorgeous view overlooking the Cumberland Plateau and the Sherwood Valley. Experienced and beginner campers are welcome! We live on one side of the property, so we’re available to assist (setting up tents for the first few times is no joke!) or we’re happy to give you as much space and solitude as you need. We have three campsites available in the native savannah grassland, and one that is a "hike-in and choose your favorite spot in the woods" site. We have a porta-potty available, but if you're hiking in, you'll want to bring some WAG bags with you. If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to your visit! The Jansohn and Combs Families

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven 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. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees 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. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Elk Head Overlook

4 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Pelham, TN

**Please note the address is 9665 SR 50, Pelham, TN 37301** The best part about this site are the views! Relax on the side of the Cumberland Plateau while overlooking Burroughs Cove and the Elk River. You can see the sites from the main road, if you find yourself on a gravel road for more than 50ft, STOP and verify the address. Sites 1/2 are hard graveled, heavy duty tent stakes are recommended along with mats/padding. There is an electrical box at each end of the hard graveled parking and tent areas (Sites 1 and 2) with 20- and 30-amp plugs, plus 110v. If the power is not working, please check the panel and turn on/reset the breakers, many of our guests turn them off when departing. If you are at Site #2 and the steps above do not work, please check/do the same at the Site #1 panel (it is the master power source). Water is NOT available on site. NOTE: Depending on the time of year (warmer months only) a water container with a limited amount of NON-POTABLE water is on site for your use. Please plan on filling your water reservoir(s) PRIOR to arriving. There is an outhouse for all guests, picnic tables and fire rings for Sites 1 and 2. The camping area is fairly close to SR-50 so please expect to hear some road noise, more so in the winter months. The entrance/driveway is on a small incline, if you are traveling in a light vehicle and a heavy camper, it's best to maintain a slow and steady speed to the camp site (for almost everyone, this is not an issue). If you are towing a camper, we recommend the total length of the vehicle and the trailer not exceeding 30ft, longer set ups can (and have been used) without issue. However, there is not a significant place to "turn around" at the sites and novice drivers (not used to backing out of tight spots with long rigs) may find this very challenging. There is a double gate that is usually closed, and latched so it stays closed, it is not "locked". The site is self-serve (not manned), Site #1 is to the left, Site #2 is to the right, and Site #3 is down the path past the outhouse at the bottom of the path. It is recommended that campers set up early for Site 3 (still daylight) to get an idea of the layout. Parking for Site #3 is by the shed at the main entrance and power is not available at the site.

Quail Run Farm

21 sites · Lodging120 acres · Chattanooga, TN

We have a working farm with sweeping views of Lookout mountain and only 12 minutes from all the comforts of downtown Chattanooga. Our expansive 120-acre property provides campers with the freedom to choose their camping spots anywhere on the farm. Farm animals include horses, cattle, hogs, chickens, goats, bees, stocked ponds, gardens and much more. We have strategically placed signs throughout the property to help you identify potential neighbors. If you desire the company of ducks, consider setting up camp near our picturesque duck pond. For those who prefer the rustic crowing of roosters to a phone alarm, we have four chicken coops dispersed across the farm. Our horses freely roam the front pastures. The cows enjoy grazing on lush grass and taking refreshing dips in the ponds. They also relish watching the sunset from the hill's vantage point, as it offers the best view on the farm. We are a working farm with staff tending to various jobs throughout the day. We have a map to show some of the popular locations campers have enjoyed in the past, but it is first come first serve. We intentionally leave some of our fields uncut. In some fields, the grass can come up above the knees. If you are picky with the grass, these are pastures on a farm and we do not cut them. We leave that to the animals to take care of. All of our staff are super friendly and happy to help guide you to the best camping spot and answer any questions. In searching for your campsite please note that there may be livestock in and around certain areas as we rotate pastures. Please respect farm rules and do not camp in a pasture with cattle and do not enter any gated area without speaking to someone on the farm who knows which fields the cattle is in. Potable well water can be located from the blue spigot outside of the staff housing area, in between the orange and green tiny home, and outside the outdoor shower. Fire rings and chopped wood are ready for you to borrow and return by the outdoor shower area. Our outdoor shower is located by the yurts. If you are interested in a more posh experience, we have yurts and tiny homes for rent. We have a pool that is available to rent privately during your stay. You can use the Swimply app to book your time or you can message us through HipCamp, and we can set that up for you. Embracing farm life is not just an adventure but also a valuable learning opportunity, whether you're a family or an individual seeking a taste of the countryside lifestyle. We hope to see you soon on the farm!
