Cozy Creekside Camping

37mi from Knoxville · 1 site
LOT ONLY, with full hookups
This cozy creekside lot is perfect for your next outdoor camping adventure—just bring your own RV, travel trailer, pop-up, or other RVIA-certified camper.
Most of the photos were taken in January, but in spring, summer, and fall this lovely shaded campsite feels secluded and serene, while still offering all the comforts of home.
The site includes creekside posts for hanging a hammock and a fireside hanging-chair post. It is located near the pool, bathhouse, laundry facilities, and a small playground.
The lot is located in a gated campground with many amenities, including two seasonal pools, a coin-operated laundromat, a game room, an exercise facility, and a seasonal restaurant.
You are also welcome to book this lot through the campground’s main office, but my Hipcamp listing is cheaper.
Other things to note
Pets are welcome. However, please be aware there is a $10 non-refundable pet fee, paid upon check-in through the campground office, to cover the cost of the pet waste stations throughout the park. This fee is charged by the campground and is not included in the rental price paid through Hipcamp. Please let me know if you plan to bring any pets, and I will share the campground’s pet policy information.

43mi from Knoxville · 5 sites
Must book direct with us at www.englishcreekhideaway.com to see up to date prices and availability- hipcamp will not sync correctly with our bussiness calendar at this time
English Creek Hideaway it's a mixture of Glamping units scattered over 4 acres, with tiny goats and sheep, all immersed in the beautiful meadow that once was a productive tobacco plantation.
Our goats are used to being handled and we provide treats so you can feed them and even go inside the corral to interact with them as much as you feel comfortable. We always tend to have baby goats jumping around, and trying to catch them and cuddling them is always a guest favorite! We also have sheep and bunnies!
You will know you have reached your destination when you pull into English Creek Hideaway and have your breath taken away by our historic barn. It truly sparkles at night and invites you in to enjoy a fireside chat, get competitive with a multitude of games, and bring out your inner chef creating your own personal pizzas with our Ooni pizza oven, breakfast over the Blackstone Griddle, or traditional BBQ with our gas and charcoal Grills.

This is our second Thanksgiving spent at the caboose. It was a great experience both last time and this time. Having firewood at our disposal is great; our dog loved to run up and down the hill; the house is on a busy road, but it never bothered us at all. Can't wait to stay next Thanksgiving. Thanks, Mark!

4 nights at Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS
We had a wonderful time staying at Private Glamping w/ Outdoor Shower at Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS. Our hosts were so kind and thoughtful, and the setup was excellent and had everything one needs for a very comfortable and memorable glamping experience. The hot tub was definitely a highlight for us. Despite a sudden cold front coming in, the camper was always at a comfortable temperature and we never felt cold at night, even with outside temperatures dropping below freezing. Thank you again to our generous hosts for a great stay in this little oasis in Bryson City. We look forward to visiting again.

4 nights at Glamping Domes & A-Frame
The view is the star of the show. Add a hot tub and fire pit and that’s a bonus. Inside is very comfortable and cozy. The kitchen setup was adequate. It could use a toaster/counter top convection oven. The grill outside worked well however. Also the fridge was a good size for the 4 nights we stayed. Google maps ends short of your destination so getting there was a bit confusing. We were lucky Ravi was on sight to escort us. Hopefully better signage will be added. The road is a bit rough but manageable for the last 1/4 mile or so. Again, once there, it’s all about the view and the isolation. Shower was roomy and nice. The bed was huge and comfy. The geo-domes were close but it all felt private enough and our neighbors were quiet. It’s close to the Smokies which was our draw but not much else. Fine by us as we didn’t even leave the premises for a day and a half. Did I mention the view?

3 nights at Glamping Domes & A-Frame
This place is absolutely beautiful. Waking up to a sunrise over Appalachia is worth it on its own. The dome is well maintained, clean, and the area is super quiet and safe. It's an amazing place to relax in the hot tub and stargaze, play some games at the outdoor table, or just sit by the fire pit to talk and enjoy the scenery. There are two fire pits - a private metal one on the deck and a large communal area between the domes. There's also hiking and walking trails a short drive away in the Smokies (like Mouse Creek Falls).
Ravi is super friendly and responsive to messages. We met him on our way out when he came up to do maintenance. He takes good care of this place.
There are a few turns that are hard to see, so definitely arrive when it's daylight. If you use Waze, keep going up and around after it thinks you've "arrived".

I am just sad that it was raining the majority of our stay. Would have loved to sit by the fire watching the sun set over the mountains. The hot tub was amazing and I would have loved more time in it. Mark was very nice, helpful with backing in, and informative on things to see in the area. Definitely stopping back here on travels again! 😁

Weekend Trip to Private Glamper/HOT TUB/MNTN VIEWS
Picture this: Wake up in your cozy camper (very clean and comfortable bed) and hop in the hot tub (extra towels included), take a hot outdoor shower surrounded by fall leaves and head down into Bryson City for some coffee and breakfast. After that, spend the day hiking in the Smokeys, come back into town to explore some shops and breweries, then head back to your cozy trailer for a fire and to soak some more in the hot tub.
That was our exact experience- even though it was about 50 degrees and raining by the evening, that actually made everything even more fun, hot tub included.
This site is so unique, convenient, and well designed. You can tell the host takes pride in making it a perfect stay for everyone, with attention to detail (like putting out a Halloween themed basket with Kurig pods). She even refunded money for firewood we didn’t use.
One note: the hot tub was set at 95 when we arrived, and after a few hours was only 97 even though we set it to 104. It took overnight to get up to temperature, but after that it stayed hot and we got plenty of use out of it.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Moon Farm
Great spot. Scott and Heidi are some of the most generous hosts I have met. They are very warm and welcoming, and being greeted with a drink of my choice was an amazing way to unwind from a long road trip. The trailer was cute, clean and cozy. It feels remote and back country, and yet it was close enough to the Tail of the Dragon that I could be there at first light. I'd definitely do it again!

Sharing a spot with Mark was nice. We stayed 5 nights. Upon arrival he met us and introduced himself. He is very pleasant and welcoming. He had a map of the Smokies and his wifi info. Which came in handy because there is zero phone service there ( emergency calls only) which is fine. We were on vacation. You will have wifi as provided. He had a ton of fire wood stocked. The hot tub was hot and ready to go with a ton of jets. We loved the hot tub under the stars. We never saw Mark , except for upon arrival and when we were heading out. Which was really nice.

We had such an incredible time staying at Scott and Heidi's place!! I can't wait to go back; one of the coolest places. We stayed in the stargazers tent and it was SO cute and so well stocked. They built their own 1970's karaoke bar on premises where they made us drinks and sang some Tom waits songs for us. We had such a fun time hanging out with them and hearing their stories. I'll definitely be back through on my next road trip!!

We loved this awesome cozy trailer. Everything was super clean and well laid out. Lots of thoughtful notes around the camper explaining various things about the camper. The hot tub was nice and hot and also very clean. Same goes for the outdoor shower. This was a delightful private retreat that we would come back to anytime!
The hosts were super easy to get a hold of if we had any questions and were super friendly overall.
No major complaints!

We loved our stay at Contrast Cove! This was our anniversary getaway, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The views were absolutely stunning — especially from the private deck where we could just relax and soak in the beauty of the mountains. At night, it was peaceful and quiet, with nothing but the sounds of nature around us and the stars in the sky.
The dome itself was incredible. The bed was massive and super soft, and the whole space stayed cool — which was a lifesaver on a hot summer day. Every amenity worked flawlessly: the sink, shower, toilet, and air conditioning were all clean and functional. The bathroom was also well-stocked and well-maintained.
While the hot tub didn’t get very hot (more lukewarm than anything), everything else made up for that tenfold. Honestly, we’d give the experience a 10 out of 10 — and would absolutely come back in the future.
Special thanks to Ravi, who was an amazing host. He made us feel safe, welcome, and taken care of the whole time.
🌙 Pro Tip: Do not try to arrive at night. The road up the mountain is pitch black with no guard rails — definitely better to get there during daylight for a safer trip.
Thank you again, Ravi! We can’t wait to return!

This tiny home is a perfect getaway! Looks exactly like photos. Tucked away at quiet campground, which is sufficient in itself, but it’s also close to some overlooks on the foothills parkway and 30 min or so from Great Smokies main entrances, Gatlinburg and other attractions. Will was responsive. Definitely recommend booking! :)

Wow, what an amazing find Magnolia Moon Farm is! Probably one of the best rentals we've ever had. We stayed in the Yurt and came fully loaded with a 1.5 year old, wife, and pup. Our baby and dog had SO much fun romping around in the yard and checking out the friendly goats and chickens. We've never experienced such friendliness and hospitality from our hosts than we did here; I would highly recommend anyone looking for a quiet getaway glamping trip to check out Magnolia Moon Farm. DONT FORGET to bring cash for the Thursty Goat, their on-site bar that is staffed and operated by the owners - we missed out this time but we'll be back to chum it up soon and take full advantage of their services soon!
