We had an incredible stay at this campsite and couldn’t have asked for a better way to welcome the New Year. The host was exceptionally kind and welcoming, greeting us upon arrival and making sure we had everything we needed. We were able to purchase firewood directly from him, which made settling in easy and seamless.
The site itself was the best primitive setup we could have dreamed of — thoughtfully arranged with a fire ring, and we were provided with a trash can, and a honey bucket. Everything was clean, well-organized, and clearly cared for, which made the experience feel both rustic and comfortable.
Spending New Year’s here with my partner was truly special. The site was incredibly peaceful, surrounded by quiet beauty, and the nearly full moon and stars made the night feel almost magical. It was the perfect place to unplug, reflect, and simply be present. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene, well-hosted primitive camping experience.

Nice quiet farm-style setting. Rented the RV and it had all the amenities I wanted. Very accommodating host! Prompt replies to all of my inquires. Will definitely rent again if ever in the area.

Loved Lost Acres so much! Vinnie gave us a great tour of his favorite places on the property, and he was so, so accommodating and helpful. The property is super nice and private, but it's also very close to a Dollar General in case you forget something. Will definitely be keeping this site on our camping rotation!

We enjoyed our stay here, it was a nice and private spot in front of an unoccupied little house with a porch we could use. Around 45 minutes from Nashville. Few farm animals roaming around which was cool. Thanks again for letting us staying Cristy.

Easy to find, host was friendly and helpful, tons of space. Just reach out to make sure the hay has been cut and you'll have all the room in the world to camp.

It was a lovely stay that I will make again. It's got no service so you can really disconnect and get in nature comfortably. They were super accommodating despite a same day booking on a random Wednesday and they were so kind and cool!

It was a great camping site! Vinnie was very kind to show us directions to the site, as it was a bit confusing at times.
