The best lakeside camping near New Market

·

In New Market, camping by the lake means waking up to mist lifting off the water and the sound of fish jumping. Over 600 options here put you right on the shoreline or just steps away. You’ll find sites with hot showers, flush toilets, and campfires allowed—no need to rough it unless you want to. Fishing and swimming are daily rituals, and horseback riding trails cut through nearby woods and pastures. Average price per night sits at $50, but you’ll spot places for as little as $10 if you keep an eye out. The most-reviewed spots? Harmony hollow (285 reviews), Gateway to the Smokies (119 reviews), and Twin Valley Horse Ranch (97 reviews). Bring your rod, your swimsuit, and a taste for sunrise coffee by the water. You’ll see why locals keep coming back.

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!

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!

Buffalo Creek Vacations was started after our father, Harold, retired from NY as a UPS driver.  He wanted to go somewhere & experience all 4 season!  Him & our mom settled in Haywood County, NC & built their own log cabin & started raising bison.  Then, myself, 3 siblings & our spouses purchases the 40 acres behind my folks 18 acres when it came up for sale.  We decided to build a cabin & then we started rented it out in 2007.  Now, we currently have 6 cabins & 2 train cabooses for rent.  We love living in God's country & raising the bison along w/ a bunch other farm animals.  We love hosting guest on our property & decided after many calls asking if we allow camping, to include a few lucky folks to camp at Buffalo Creek.  If you are looking for something other then "car camping" & being "on top of each other" at traditional camp grounds, then give us a call & come check us out.  You will be glad you did!

Nestled along the edge of Douglas Lake, minutes from Dandridge, the 2nd oldest town in Tennessee and you are surrounded by the history. The campsite is approx. 1/2 acre fully fenced and away from the road. Just drive through the double gate and park directly in front of the camper. Our camper is a 2024 (brand new) Wildwood Platinum 22ERAS opening concept 28' travel trailer. The campsites are down the hill and about 35 yards from the house.
