Wild nature hikes, splashing in the healing springs of Bath Springs, and woodland camping are some of the opportunities to enjoy your stay with us.

We have a unique biodiversity in the West Tennessee Uplands with opportunities to explore geological formations, the Tennessee River Scenic Byway, the Tennessee Riverline, and much more. It is a sportsman’s paradise. Many of the outdoor activities center around the beautiful Tennessee River, which forms the eastern and southern borders of the county. The clean waters of the Tennessee provide plenty of opportunities, such as fishing, boating, swimming, and waterskiing. People around the state refer to Decatur County as “The Home of the Tennessee River.” Raw woodland camping. Unplug from technology and forest bathe to ground and reset. Pets are welcome, and off-leash is allowable with voice control. Because this is raw woodlands, campers can expect to encounter wildlife, possibly including snakes and pests like ticks, so come prepared! Bushcrafting is allowed. All trash must be carried out. Please leave it better than you found it, and have respect for the flora and fauna because you are visiting their home. Please leave all of the rocks and vegetation on the property.

Several sites to camp on 17 acres of forested land. In Linden Tn., an hour and a half drive from Nashville. The property is on a mountain ridge and community of large acreage properties ranging from 5 to 70 acres +. You'll be a 11 minute drive from the small town of Linden for easy access to a grocery store, restaurants and the Commodore Inn and Cafe. Five minutes to the Buffalo River with several kayak, canoe and tubing rental outfitters available from town or close by. Currently 'off grid' At the entrance is a concrete parking pad where an RV can park and enjoy a lovely view of the Loblolly pine forest below. Further down the mountain a winding road can be walked or driven (best if off-road, but I drive a front wheel SUV when dry) leads to additional sites on a level field of a mixture of cleared or treed , but private sites. A level area, then further slopes around the property to streams on either sides and a waterfall in the back of the property. Access to the waterfall is down a fairly steep mountain slope so accessible only for the adventurous.
