Forgot to snap a photo before we tore down our tent. The driveways are all really deep to fit big trailers, so you get to be pretty far off the road.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Timbers Homestead

I loved tent camping here. Beautifully maintained property. There were chickens everywhere that were so fun to watch. The bathroom was beautiful. Several fire pits. 10/10 would recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Bluffs At Tumbling Creek

Gorgeous and peaceful! I really enjoyed my stay and would visit again. The site is loaded with amenities for a great time for family, friends, or just by yourself. No leashes required for dogs and that was a great selling point for me. Would definitely visit again.

7 nights at Hidden Door Farm

Barbara is a wonderful host - always available but never in your way. Her little haven is very peaceful and the animals are incredible. My dog and I had a very relaxing stay!

Weekend Trip to Hidden Door Farm

Barbara is so nice and very accommodating! We needed a last minute place to camp while moving across the country and she took us in no problem. You can see the love she puts into her animals by how happy they are. We especially loved her friendly kitty’s! She made our short stay memorable for us and our daughter, who got to help feed one of the baby goats. -good communication -easy to find -clean and tidy -great soft tent spot Thanks again! Love from Oregon.

1 night at Wooded Nashville Nook

Elizabeth created the perfect nook for easy, level back-in site. We chose it for its short drive to downtown Nashville, but extra bonus for being in a peaceful country setting. We look forward to returning!

1 night at Dead / Phish Pharm Camp

This was the perfect secluded spot for some much needed time off. Great hosts!

3 nights at Wooded Nashville Nook

Back for our second stay and it was just as good as the first positive experience here. We love having hookups and a quiet private space all to our own with easy access to the city. We will definitely return as we visit Nashville several times a year. Thanks to Elisabeth and family for having us.

1 night at Peaceful Hills Retreat Campground

We enjoyed camping on Jennifer's land. It was private, secluded, beautiful, with 2 restrooms, well water available and wood available for a small fee. Can't wait to return. Thanks Jennifer:)

My family and I have been going to peaceful hills retreat for years now and we have a great time every time we visit. The hosts are attentive and accommodating. GREAT SPOT!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Dog Ranch

WILL BE REVISITING! The hosts are lovely, friendly, interesting people who will treat you like you’re a close friend. I brought my dog with me and she had a great time playing with their 8 dogs on the property, and the screened in porch is a game changer! There are a couple fun farm animals around. The cabin is perfect for a camping/shelter feel, a bed in a comfy decorated studio with windows. nothing too fancy just how we like it! Some of the cabins are still a work in progress so I’m very excited to visit Lisa and Gary in the future :) thankful to have found this and them!

Weekend Trip to Peaceful Hills Retreat Campground

Stayed at moonlight ridge. Have stayed at the Lumberjack site before. Both are great. Was a little cloudy so couldn’t see as much of the stars that we hoped for but the site was perfect. Area is well maintained, clean and quiet. There was only one other site occupied while we were there. Jennifer was super fast to deliver wood. Will definitely return again.

7 nights at Four Corners Resort and Marina

Generally quiet in the immediate area, super clean and friendly staff. Constantly saw security present. Loved garbage pickup from site, super clean facilities.

Weekend Trip to Flora and Fauna Camp

Beautiful property! Valerie was helpful and sent super specific directions.

2 nights at Peaceful Hills Retreat Campground

Nice peaceful campground. Would stay again. The sound of the waterfall is great for drifting off to sleep.

4 nights at The Bluffs At Tumbling Creek

These are the type of campsites we are looking for, spacious, dogs can run free, no one else around. The night are awesome with no light pollution you can see all the stars. The best part is the river, it is so beautiful. We can't wait to come back this summer.

2 nights at Benjamin's RV Sanctuary

Really nice spot, peaceful and quiet Robert is a great host and excellent chef. Highly recommend having dinner there. The goats are super friendly and sweet. Great overall experience, highly recommend

Weekend Trip to Sacred Dog Ranch

Since Montgomery Bell State park will be closed for a while, we looked at alternate locations and found this one. This very spacious property with 30-amp hookup for our travel trailer was perfect. Lisa was very gracious and hospitable and her property had beautifully eclectic charm. Lots of sweet dogs roaming the property along with other points of interest Lisa will be happy to show you around. Would stay here even when M. Bell park opens back up!

Weekend Trip to Sacred Dog Ranch

This was our second time staying at Sacred dog Ranch , we love this place. The animals and the people are all amazing. A step up from roughing it.

Run-A-Muck on the Red River

15 sites · RVs, Tents6 acres · Adams, TN

As a child I grew up on the river, canoeing down Red River and even playing on this very piece of property. Twelve years ago my best friend and I started a canoe and kayak company to allow people to experience the same things that we experienced as children. We have met thousands of people and had opportunities to become friends with many of them. We look forward to seeing them every year. Three years ago we were able to purchase this piece of property for the kayak company and watch it grow into more than we ever thought it would be. It's almost surreal owning a piece of property that you played on as a kid. We are very thankful to have it and share it with others, and hope that they'll have some of the same experiences that we have had on it. Learn more about this land: Pitch a tent or hammock (where available) next to the Red River, across the river from Port Royal State Park and adjacent to the historic Trail of Tears. You can camp along the river or out in the open. Seven minutes from the interstate (exit 8 or 11 on I-24). You can fish or swim in the river, try local restaurants in Clarksville, or just hang out and enjoy being outside.

Peaceful Hills Retreat Campground

34 sites · RVs, Tents97 acres · Centerville, TN

Peaceful Hills Retreat 390 American Way Centerville, TN 37033 (Pleasantville) Looking for the perfect getaway, you will find some peace and quiet here! Only 14.6 miles from I-40 and located on 97 acres, this campground is surrounded by nature, very secluded and private. There is a crystal-clear creek that runs parallel with the driveway and fresh spring water flowing from pipe in the rock close to the entrance on American Way. The creek is bio-diverse, filled with fascinating species, and spring fed, which means it stays cool in the summertime. There are three beautiful homes which are able to be rented out as well. The A-frame log cabin at the top of the hill is called the lodge. The second home, which is a two-story brown log cabin, is where the host lives. The third home is the cottage. Long before these three homes were built, native Indians lived in these beautiful rolling hills and we have found many arrowheads right around the homes on this property. This is a special place and we are happy and honored to share it with you! Peaceful Hills Retreat, a family owned business, started in May of 2017. It all began when Jennifer’s brilliant brother booked a two-story home through Airbnb for Jennifer and the family for a week in the Carolinas. Their Airbnb vacation was a great experience, and she loved having a kitchen to cook in, while traveling with her large family. She gladly said goodbye to tiny hotel rooms. Linda and her daughter, Jennifer realized they desired to run a BnB, and watched the scattered pieces beautifully fall into place. Peaceful Hills Retreat is also a wedding venue. There are three beautiful spots for a lovely outdoor wedding. The waterfall site is a favorite. The lodge is a beautiful place for the reception to take place outdoors and the Honeymoon Cottage makes for the perfect getaway afterwards. At each home you may read a special book called A Soldier’s Child Foundation (ASC). This life-changing, wonderful foundation near Nashville, serves children all over our great nation who have sadly lost a parent who served in our military. ASC tremendously helped Jennifer’s family after the loss of their military soldier and Peaceful Hills Retreat donates a portion of their profits to this amazing non-profit. A Soldier’s Child Foundation removed the shame and sadness from our loss and replaced it with hope, honor. and love. A portion of our increase at Peaceful Hills Retreat goes to serve this cause to help other families. To learn more, to donate or to get involved, please visit: asoldierschild.org. If you have any other questions or if you need anything at all during your stay, please text us and we'll be happy to help. Hope to see you soon!

Lionsgate Campground

4 sites · Lodging, Tents48 acres · Bon Aqua Junction, TN

Enjoy glamping in our optional 2017 19' retro style camper with a bathroom and kitchen or go primitive and set up your tent or hammock by the waterfalls and rough it. 2 sites have electricity. No bathrooms or showers if you're Just 35 minutes west of Loveless Cafe' in Nashville and 20 minutes south of the Dickson exit at I40. The 48 acre campground has just 3 big tent sites for more seclusion and is almost all old forest with wide trails and huge old growth trees. There is about a 1/2 acre of field to park in between the road and the creek if you don't have an off road vehicle. The rest is woods. Mother Nature has a lot to offer when you cross the creek into the first two campsites that are on the 30' creek. One big spring runs through the middle of the 2 sites with small cascading waterfalls. Both sites have string lights and 120V extension cords. These two sites are separated by the driveway and about 150' apart but a bridge connects the two if you have another couple that wants to join you these two spots are perfect for privacy and companionship. Expand the pictures to a full screen as you scroll so the description will show up at the bottom of the picture. Not all pictures are on the property but describe close places to visit as well.

Please let us know ahead of time or order it on the site. SITE 1: The nicer of the two sites along the creek, has granite counters, a round fire pit with a fold down heavy cooking grate, charcoal grill and a large wrought iron table and chairs. RENT A CAMPER WITH SITE 1 or BRING YOUR PERSONAL CAMPER: Our retro style 2017 option on the other side of the creek with stairs and stones to cross the creek. Sometimes the walking stones get washed out. 30 amp. 240 and 120 volt plugs. Click on additional fees for camper electrical hook up. SITE 2: Also along side the 30' creek. There is a round steel fire pit surrounded with wrought iron chairs, a separate picnic table, granite countertop work space and a small grill. 2 fairly flat areas for tents. Set your chairs in the creek in front of your site. The clear cold water is a great place to relax and cool off or watch crawfish, minnows and salamanders and the occasional blue herron. 120V and string lights. Parking is a little tight unless you're in a Jeep of more off road vehicle that can park up the hill a bit. SITE 3: "Still Hollow" is more private and located right in the middle valley of the property where a different spring fed creek runs down the wooded valley. There is no electricity but you can still enjoy the sound of small cascading waterfalls and a creek that runs along the side of the site for a relaxing sleep. There is a granite countertop, charcoal grill and a fire ring. A small round wrought iron table and 4 chairs are there for a place to eat lunch. The old moonshine barrels are still barely standing by the spring. This site is also accessed from the opposite side of the campground on Ben Fly Rd or Greer Rd for the serious off roaders. 4 wheel drive may be necessary but a Hyundai car entered through the creek in 2 wheel drive. It was dry though. STAR GAZING for all 3 sites: There is a cleared area on top of a hill side for stargazing far from the city lights. CHECK IN: Check in can be as early as like if the present campers have checked out. You can always hang out elsewhere on the property and start your day to explore and hike till they leave. Just let us know in advance. And you can stay all day the day of check out but you may have to pack up and park elsewhere if other campers need the spot. If not. Stay till dark.

Don't be surprised to be greeted by all kinds of wildlife including deer, turkey, foxes, or our goofy, fun-loving Golden Doodle named "Shme." If walking isn't your thing, you are welcome to drive around (4wd recommended) to go scout out where you'd like to set up camp for the night. If you prefer more peace and privacy, there are two beautiful meadows to choose from which both reach deeper into the property.

Calico Junction Ranch

20 sites · RVs, Tents101 acres · Hohenwald, TN

Located in the hills and high forests of Hohenwald, Tennessee, Calico Junction Ranch is a large, multi-faceted operation with over forty head of horses, breeding kennels for Long-Coat German Shepherds, and a modest Heritage Breed Hog farming operation. Occupied by Native Americans as early as 10,000 BC, the Chickasaw Indians hunted our hills in the 1500's, and the ranch property is located along the Cherokee "Trail of Tears." The ranch was later home to a miner named "Grizzly Jack"... You can visit his cabin during your stay. More recently, Calico Junction hosted benefits for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and we regularly host dinner trail rides on weekends. Calico Junction New Beginnings Ranch is our non-profit 501(c)3 providing Equine Assisted Therapy and a horse rescue. Because Calico Junction has so much to offer, we have joined Hipcamp in order to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful and relaxing ranch home. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent in a beautiful meadow not far from a pasture with horses. Choose a site close to the main ranch or as remote as you prefer. We are a family-oriented operation where children are welcome. Explore the ranch on foot or arrange for a horseback ride or two. Bring your binoculars and get up early to catch the Great Blue Herons feeding near the bridge. You'll probably disturb them, but if you're quick, you may capture a picture of the Heron's graceful flight. Go wading, collect rocks or hunt for arrowheads in Rockhouse Creek--you are almost certain to find them, the best free souvenirs! Take nature walks to see our abundant wildlife: deer, wild turkeys, foxes, rabbits and squirrels, because they play here too! Tour the kennels and walk or brush the dogs upon request. Tell stories or play your guitar as you enjoy a relaxing evening campfire. Then listen to the Whippoorwills as they serenade you to sleep. You must arrive 1 hour prior to sunset.
