We enjoyed the privacy of our covered porch and fire ring. The bird feeders hanging all around the cabin are wonderful to watch all the birds during the day. The community fire ring is close enough to enjoy with other campers, but not to close that we could hear anyone in our cabin. Amber and Michael checked on our needs many times during our stay. They hosted a chili cook-off that we greatly enjoyed and passed out candy to all the kids. Overall a great time and experience. We will stay here again."

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.

We have a beautiful abundance of wildlife and because we center around maintaining a healthy balance for our Farm and Forest; we keep our camp booked for less than 15 nights a month. This ensures our wildlife the freedom to still pass and not feel crowded out and for our Farm to rest in between social interactions. This makes for the best and most full experience you can have when you stay at the one and only 'Equilibirum Escape'. Besides the adventure that awaits you on our grounds, this is also a fantastic location to enjoy several amenities such as: 1) Smokey Mountains 1hr 2) Downtown Knoxville 35mins 3) Big Ridge State Park 25mins 4) Hickory Star Marina 15mins 5) Grocery stores within 10mins 6) Seven Springs Winery 7mins Regardless if you choose to stay put or venture off site, you have many options within a very reasonable distance to maximize your stay! The access to camp is off a main route, therefore we are an easy drive from the hustle and bustle. But once you are on the grounds, your site will take you deep into the tranquility of the earth.

Our Farm is located on site and private tours and experiences are available if you'd like to bolster your stay. But if you want to just unplug, hike, explore or star gaze then come elevate to the next level camping!

Norris Dam State Park

Lake City, Tennessee

Glamping in Norris Lake guide

Overview

A 34,000-acre reservoir on the Powell and Clinch rivers, Norris Lake is 30 miles northwest of Knoxville. Campgrounds and marinas surround the lake, so access to watersports and fantastic bass fishing is a breeze for campers, while surrounding state parks spotlight East Tennessee’s mountain-and-river terrain and its Appalachian culture. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed several of these state parks during the Great Depression, and CCC-built facilities are still in use today. Glamping options include farm sites, canvas tents, and tiny homes—and birdwatching and hiking are popular no matter where you stay nearby.

Where to go

Anderson County

Campgrounds are scattered along the shoreline beside Norris Dam, which sits at the southwestern edge of the lake in Anderson County. Small towns with camping, glamping, and RV sites include Rocky Top, Norris, and Andersonville.

Norris Dam State Park

The 19 cabins built by the Civilian Conservation Corps at Norris Dam State Park merge Depression-era history with modern amenities. The sprawling lakefront park also has two campgrounds, both with tent and RV campsites. A marina and a Southern Appalachia museum are bonus highlights.

Big Ridge State Park

Lakeside campsites accommodate tents and RVs at Big Ridge State Park, another Depression-era park constructed by the TVA and the CCC. Watersports are popular here, but hikers have plenty of options too, with 15 miles of trails exploring the forests, hollows, and ridges. Campgrounds are also scattered across the towns of Maynardville and New Tazewell.

Knoxville

Tennessee’s capital and the home of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville is a convenient launchpad for campers looking to mix urban adventuring with paddling and fishing at Norris Lake. In Knoxville, ride the elevator to the observation area atop the soaring Sunsphere, then check out the quarry and the nature center inside the Urban Wilderness, a network of parks and multi-use trails scattered across the city. Campgrounds surround the downtown area.
