Charlie Stubblefield Sr. was a very interesting man with a wide curiosity in just about anything that had to do with history, Indian artifacts, Civil War, fossils, oral history, religion and more. Therefore, the small museum on the property next to the pavilion is dedicated to our grandfather. Charlie Sr. and our grandmother served as Justices of the Peace for over 30 years.

The area has many interesting stories and legacies of characters of yesterday and today.

6 nights at Campsite on the Caney

Campsite was beautiful. Great view of the river, didn’t get to enjoy the kayaks because it was too cold. Campsite was set up just as described. Will stay here again for sure!

I love to stay at this site when I'm in the area. It's primitive so pack everything you need. The view is amazing! Try to catch a sunset here for sure.

Great location and appreciate the bathroom and fire pit. But the friendly farm animals stole the show! A unique experience that we'd definitely recommend

Weekend Trip to South Suckcreek Campground

Sites are nicely spread out. Quiet and beautiful property. Our site was spacious enough to spread a few tents out, and the neighboring sites were far enough away as to not be a disruption.

I loved the animals and tree swing. We had a slight problem with electricity. Owner was extremely responsive and problem was fixed within 30 minutes. Great place

Took my six year-old granddaughter for her first camping trip here and we had so much fun! The animals were, of course, the highlight of our stay, but we also loved the accommodations and safety aspect of staying on Jannas property. 10 out of 10 recommend!

5 nights at Campsite on the Caney

We loved our time at Campsite on the Caney. It is very centrally located -- 15 minutes from town, 30 minutes to an hour to over a dozen state parks & waterfalls to the West, North, & South. Smokey Mountains 2.5-3 hours to the east. Chattanooga 1.5 hours south. We were out from sunrise to sunset for 6 days straight and barely scratched the surface. We had some cold fall days and weren't able to take advantage of the kayaks but the site was gorgeous and wish we had a couple more days just to hang out at the site. Other than a couple cars a day passing by, we never saw anyone the entire 6 days. Our dogs loved it. The host was very hospitable and responsive. I would recommend this site to anyone especially if you have pets and enjoy privacy.

We loved tent camping at Magnolia Campground. It was the real farm experience where you can camp with cows, donkeys, goats, miniature horses, kittens, and chickens. We will be returning!!

Weekend Trip to Hammock’Sway Private Off Grid Camp

Chris’s place was so much fun! The creek provided endless entertainment for the kids, and tranquil vibes for us all. The pine forest behind the camp was also the perfect place for our hammocks and many games of hide and seek. There was a fire ring at the campsite and plenty of soft grassy spots for our tents. We also had some of the fresh eggs in the morning that were delicious. We can’t wait to come back.

We loved the idyllic site with the farm animals roaming around. Very private and convenient to reach. The owner was super friendly and very reactive to any request we had. We’d book there again anytime if we’d come back to this area

This was such a great trip for our family! We just bought our camper a few weeks back and wanted somewhere private for our first time out learning the process. It was perfect and the weather was fantastic! We DEFINITELY plan to come back!
