Twin Valley Horse Ranch

My late husband and myself bought the property in 1983 and it was all just overgrown land!We worked, cleared, built horse shelters/barns, cabins, cut trails, built the outdoor chapel for our wedding and of course fenced it all in for the horses! Started sharing with guests in 1993, so we have met so many amazing folks from all over the world!  Pass thru our gate into another world and leave all your worries and tensions behind. We are all about getting back to what is real -- nature, animals/horses and each other. Complete privacy!There are many mountain trails leaving right from our property! Lots to explore. You can even hike to the outdoor chapel with the pretty view of the Chilhowee Mountain range.  It is a short hike to the barn area for those who want to spend time rubbing the pot belly pigs' tummy, walk the mini horses, groom the love bug~Junebug (donkey), pet horses, cuddle with bunnies and feed chickens!  Every morning and night we set a time for all those who want to become involved with the care/feeding of petting animals and horses! 

Winter wonderland at the ranch. Cabin has central heat!

After some hiking you can find some neat spots

The cabin is nestled up against the woods, and is quite inviting!

Pioneer room kitchen is fully equipped with stove/oven, frig, coffee maker, toaster, microwave and all dishes/pans etc...Just bring food and paper towels

loft with twin beds, fully equipped kitchen

Melinda C.’s Land

Our family has always loved the smokie mountians.  Its so beautiful here and so alone with nature away from town life but not that far.  The skies at night, amazing the sound of the creek and nature lulls you to sleep.  the cool air down by the creek on a hot day is incredible.  The fireflies will astonish you how they glow in the night.  Great fun for kids and adventurer. Campsites are very far apart. The property is almost 10 acres all creek front behind the trees. There's a lot of twist and turns.  You can fish, swim and float the creek.

Earthstar Village is a place of solace for those seeking retreat for spiritual or artistic inspiration.

*Primitive campsite! ~ Primitive means just that. It's a flat open spot on the side of a mountain in the woods. 

It is as close to wilderness as you can get without being in the wilderness. 

We provide water to put out your fire with and some filtered spring water from the property in jugs to drink.

There is a fire ring and some benches and enough flat space for a couple tents and a vehicle.

There is a rake and shovel and a bowsaw is at the campsite for your use.  The firewood is what you can harvest and there is plenty of that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Located high on a mountain this accessible camping spot is just 30 minutes away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Also close by are rafting outfits and hiking locations in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Amazing View ! Pet friendly! Primitive camping!

Be at one with Nature in a truly natural environment.

This is a beautiful easily accessed secluded primitive spot high up on the small mountain on 45 acres of Appalachian forest land. The road up is about a half mile of gravel road that is in good enough condition for the clearance of most cars if you have questions about it please ask! 

****If road conditions are wet, the driveway to the campsite might be too slick for most cars or two wheel drive trucks. Parking in that case is st the bottom of the driveway with a 100 foot walk up to the campsite.

*The spot is actually a flat house site without a house, making it a wonderful place for a campsite on the south face of Dixon Mountain.

*We provide a drum of water for fire, a fire ring and fresh filtered spring water from the spring on the land for drinking

*We are pet friendly and implore you to be responsible with your pets. Even though they aren't visible, there are neighbors, keep them with you at the campsite-not roaming the neighborhood. 

*Trash- pack it in, pack it out. 

*Bathroom-This is a primitive site. A camp potty in a privacy tent is provided.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Total nature, total privacy. You will be far enough from the nearest homestead to feel completely alone on top of the world in nature with a view that's to die for. There are people close enough that if you dropped/lost your phone and broke your leg some one would eventually hear you. The best of both worlds!

It's a great space for solitude and retreat. 💖 Earthstar Village in East Tennessee Mountains.

Earthstar Village is a place artists and those seeking spiritual solace or just wanting to get away from any hustle and bustle, retreat to a mountain forest environment in the heart of the Smokey Mountains. 

Vast views for contemplation, trees and woods for wildlife and nature. Room to hike and explore , tune into yourself and capture inspiration. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the driveway up yo it. You may need to park one or two vehicles here.  The driveway doesn't really go further than you can see here. It is a secluded remote location, neighbor maybe 1/4 mile away.


This is the road facing away from the campsite, scenic and peaceful!

Low Meadow Farms

Low Meadow Farms (formerly Brown Bike Farms) is a serene four-acre meadow bordered by Burnett Creek. The campground is an easy distance to Downtown Knoxville and an even easier access to all that South Knox's Urban Wilderness has to offer. It uniquely offers a hint of backcountry camping without the 25-mile hike in. It is a great way to test the waters for primitive camping or an easy stop close to the city for a seasoned traveler. It is best suited for car camping, RVs, tent, and hammock camping. 

 There are fire pits and picnic tables at each site with enough room for tents and RVs. Most sites have trees suitable for hammock camping all along the creek.

There is potable water, firewood for sale, solar showers, and a bike wash stand all next to the covered communal area.

Each standard site can accommodate 2 people to keep space between groups and lessen the impact on the land. Sites 10 and 13 can each accommodate 6 guests. If you have more in your group, we recommend reserving an adjoining campsite. 

Sites 1, 2 and 3 are off the main path to the left of the property, and still by the creek. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all along the creek and gravel drive  Site 10 is very private with creek access on three sides. Site 11 is private with creek access all along the front. Site 12 is up high on a hill, and Site 13 is open in the middle of the meadow.

Plenty of space to hang up a couple hammocks or set up multiple tents!

Totally private site right under the trees.

Absolute stoke to be camping near the water under the big trees.
