Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Excellent hidden gem. The site is very well thought out with ample space for privacy if alone, but not too distant if you come with others. There is something here for everyone. Fishing in the pond was great and the onsite paddle boats are a nice touch. Peaceful, serene wooded atmosphere. Randy was a gracious host with grade A communication. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

Such a fun spot! This was our first time tent/car camping and Mulberry Gap made it feel so special! Such an awesome piece of property, well stocked store, kind employees, and clean amenities. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Beautiful place & the kindest host! We look forward to coming again. The property was clean and peaceful. He made this the perfect retreat for our little family. The attention to detail made it very enjoyable and stress free. Our three boys were not bored the first time. It was beautiful from sunrise to sunset. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

We had such a great camping weekend with family and friends! It was the perfect site for all of us + the paddle boats were such a hit with our kids! Randy was an awesome host and so very accommodating. We will definitely be back to camp here soon. Thank you for a wonderful weekend we will forever cherish!

Weekend Trip to Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

Beautiful place with lots to do. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay again.

3 nights at River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

My sons and I had a great time. The host was very hospitable and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay on the property. The fishing was great…we caught several bluegill and redeye bass. We decided to stay at the more secluded campsite. I would recommend if you decide to stay at the more remote site to bring something to help you tote all of your gear. It’s about a 1/4 mile walk to the site. Overall we had a great visit and I would definitely recommend staying here. We hope to come back sometime soon.

Weekend Trip to Rural Hiawassee Paddler’s Camp A

A wonderful stay! Very cozy and the owners were super friendly! Would stay here again! Thank you Jennifer for allowing us to stay!

Weekend Trip to Camping in the woods in Ocoee

Loved it! They were wonderful hosts. The eggs were delicious

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Great place to stay. I absolutely would stay again

1 night at The Ole Place

Been staying in Tennessee for almost 3 weeks now and it's hands down the best place I've stayed yet. So relaxing, right by the pond. Host leaves firewood under the tarp you can use. The kids loved the paddle boats. You can fish in the pond and have a rock fire pit, without the metal ring. Level ground and an easy drive to get there. So nice to have the electric, water, porta potty and shower. Definitely the most amazing property I've ever had the chance to stay at.

14 nights at Camping in the woods in Ocoee

Enjoyed our stay on Mitchell and Macey’s property. Mitchell greeted us when we arrived and was in contact with us before arrival to make sure we made it safely to our site. We were able to purchase fresh eggs and local meat while there. Of note, if have a larger rig , enter location from North side via Highway 64. Also make sure to look for mailbox with address that turns into driveway onto property. Mitchell was a great host to communicate with and enjoyed learning about his property and the surrounding area and places to visit. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

Randy has a wonderful hidden gem here! We camped in one of his dry camps at the edge of a gorgeous, large pond. The quiet was complete other than the pond frogs at twilight, birds, a pair of geese that came in for the night at dusk. Very clean campground. Plenty of firewood on site. Composting toilet effective. We’ll be back. Thank you, Randy!

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

This is a beautiful spot with multiple options for camping. We especially enjoyed the river, which though cold was wonderful for a refreshing swim. The hosts were extremely prompt with communication, and made sure we had everything we needed. Do be aware - as other campers have mentioned, there are multiple cameras around the property, but there is a campsite a bit further walk that feels more private if the cameras bother you. Overall we loved our stay and would certainly come back!

1 night at River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

Beautiful place. Nicely set up. I'd definitely stay there again and definitely recommend it.

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

We will be back with the whole family next time. Hoping we can rent the whole place out for a week!

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

We loved this property! The owners keep it clean and beautiful! They are also super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Doni is very communicative and wants to help make your experience the best. My kids loved fishing, playing in the shallow parts of the river, floating on the family tube, and being able to see SO many stars at night. I high recommend this property!

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

We loved tent camping at Dry Camp 1. The location was great, close to some of our favorite trails. The property and pond were beautiful and we had no trouble finding our site. Would definitely recommend!!

1 night at Mulberry Gap - Camping & Van Stays

Would I recommend it? I did already before I even left. This is a sweet set-up in the mountains! If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, especially a mountain biker, you want to stay at this place. Super responsive people that are easy to work with!

1 night at Sasquatch Farm

Nice secluded area near the lake, Julie offered up multiple options catered to what we were looking for! Plenty of hiking and activity on the property, and a really cool camp store as well. Very easy to get to, clean bathrooms, firewood provided for a small cost. All around great trip!
