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.

Nestled on the last 11 acres of the historic Davis farm, our property offers a unique glimpse into the past. The farmhouse stands gracefully by the road, while a tranquil wooded expanse stretches behind it. A sprawling fallow pasture is home to the weathered charm of the old hay barn. The woods offers an array of Hickory, Oak, Walnut, Persimmon and various other varieties of trees, creating a harmonious natural setting.
A mesmerizing vista of the Smokey Mountains unfolds across the pasture, a scene frequented by deer, rabbits, geese, and a symphony of birds. Your stay here offers more than just relaxation – it's an opportunity to engage in nature's classroom. Spend quality time identifying trees, plants, and birds while soaking in the serenity of the surroundings. You can enjoy a campfire, walking around the property and enjoying the view of the mountains and maybe catch a glimpse of the wildlife living in the area.
The homestead has chickens and ducks free ranged in the daytime to enjoy watching.

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!

We absolutely loved our camping trip. It was so nice to be within a five minute drive from a store but be completely removed. Campsite 12 was nice upon a hill. If you’re going to have sunny, hot weather note that campsite 12 is really hot and doesn’t have shade. you have to pass through other campsites in order to swim in the creek. Great reason to make friends. Kat was so nice and helpful. Overall, an incredible camping spot!

As a solo camper it was super important for me to find a campsite I felt safe and comfortable at and Kimber’s was just that! I felt totally safe the whole time and the campsite itself was well maintained and comfortable. The animals were a plus as well :) Kimber was an attentive host and gave great recommendations for hiking trails and cool places to check out. Would stay here again if I’m back in the area. Thank you Kimber!

5 nights at GlampKnox Canvas Campground
We were pleasantly surprised with how wonderful our stay was at GlampKnox! We were expecting the basics of glamping i.e. Temperate Shower, the reinforced tent, and nice beds. However, GlampKnox takes it to the next step for their residents providing us with all the goodies we didn't think we would have: a power bank, fresh towels, a lantern, indoor trash can, and a HOT shower! On top of everything, throughout the extended stay the hosts did a wonderful job responding to and providing our needs whether firewood, water, or charging bank while promptly cleaning and resetting the other sites for the next guest.

Our second time at Low Meadows and surely not the last! Close to Downtown Knoxville but still feels remote enough. The stream and bird noises are so magical in the morning. The road isn’t terribly busy, and when the sun went down you’d think you were in the woods. Not crowded (weekday), and our site had people on either side, but still felt like we had privacy. Wood available is awesome. Great clean table and pit had kindling in it already! Bathroom was incredibly clean. We met a friendly ghost that plays guitar. Would definitely come back

really chill campground overall. lots of space to spread out and set up tents without feeling on top of each other.
the community fire pit is a vibe at night, just hanging out and relaxing.
host Kimber is the goat, super easygoing and welcoming.
also the horse and donkey are super friendly which is a nice bonus
would definitely come back

Patricia was a wonderful host. Her place was set up where the sites were far apart enough for privacy and it was all well maintained. We hammocked creekside, and it was perfect. Loved the horses' visits, and we felt like we were visiting a friend's for the weekend. Great vibes!!

Mark is a great host! Extremely friendly, helpful, and has a wonderful set-up. The lot was perfect for our camper and a two room tent! We had 3 dogs with us, which LOVED the hill and small creek. The hot tub was the best part! Can’t wait to visit again!
