13mi from Chattanooga · 1 site · Lodging
It's like having your own private summer camp! The unfurnished cabin is dry and clean. A huge upgrade from a tent (feel free to pitch your tents if you like)! The bathhouse offers hot showers, a flush toilet, and sink. The open pole barn has a deluxe camping kitchen set up with pots and pans, a propane stove, a coffee maker, and a dishwashing sink. There is also a dining table and chairs. While the property is close and convenient to Chattanooga, once you are enjoying the serene woods, shady trees, starry nights, and quality time with family and friends you will forget all about the city! While there are no full-time residents on the property, there is a small functioning horse farm about 100 yards from the camping area. On most days the owner will stop by to care for the horses, and teach riding lessons.

4. Sunset Ridge Org Co Op & Farm Stay

16mi from Chattanooga · 2 sites · Tents
Perched on a quiet ridge in Trenton, Georgia, Sunset Ridge offers sweeping views of the Appalachian foothills and some of the most breathtaking sunsets you’ll ever see. Just 30 minutes from Chattanooga, our peaceful farm stay blends wide-open skies, the rhythm of organic farm life, and the simple joys of camping. Whether you’re seeking a restorative solo retreat, a fun family adventure, or a place to reconnect with nature, Sunset Ridge provides the perfect setting to pause, breathe deeply, and feel rooted again at our primitive campsites. Guests are invited to explore the land and experience the flow of farm life. Watch chickens scratching in the yard, wander through our gardens, or hike along the ridge where deer, turkey, and songbirds are often nearby. Early mornings bring soft pastel sunrises, while evenings set the ridge aglow with fiery sunsets—the kind of beauty that slows you down and reminds you what really matters. Camping here means plenty of space and privacy. Pitch your tent beneath the stars, gather around a crackling fire, and fall asleep to the sounds of nature. We’re tucked far enough into the hills to feel secluded, yet close to incredible outdoor adventures. Cloudland Canyon State Park is just minutes away with its waterfalls and hiking trails, while Lookout Mountain and the Tennessee River Gorge offer endless opportunities for exploring, climbing, and paddling. You’re also just steps—or a short drive—away from The Wilderness Outdoor Movie Theater or our little farm stand for fresh local goods and coffee! And if you’d like a taste of the city, downtown Chattanooga is a quick trip for dining, music, and culture. At Sunset Ridge, we love welcoming campers who value community, slower living, and a respect for the earth. This isn’t just a place to set up camp—it’s a place to restore your spirit, watch the sky change colors, and create meaningful memories. Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, you’ll leave feeling more grounded, more connected, and more alive. Come experience a little slice of heaven at Sunset Ridge—where the ridge meets the sky, the sunsets linger, and the land itself invites you to stay awhile. 🌄✨
