Glamping in Norris Lake

·

Glamping around Norris Lake puts you right in the heart of rolling hills, forested coves, and clear water—without giving up your hot shower or wifi. With over 150 glamping spots, you’ll find everything from furnished tents to cabins—some nestled right on the riverbank, others tucked under oaks. Most places let you bring your dog, and nearly all have toilets for peace of mind. Swimming and wildlife-watching are just steps from your door, and horseback riding trails cut through nearby woods. Nightly rates start at $10, but expect to pay around $115 for the full setup. If you want firsthand stories, check out Patrick's Point River Camp (473 reviews), Clayton Geneva Memorial Camp Ground (434 reviews), or GlampKnox Canvas Campground (125 reviews) for some of the most tried-and-tested spots in the area. Bring your swimsuit and an appetite for the outdoors—Norris Lake’s glamping scene is ready when you are.

Please consider, Clayton Geneva is a primitive campground, gravel drives and left as natural as possible. This is not a sculpted campsite or a concrete campground.

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 pet horses, cuddle with bunnies and feed chickens, enjoy the fainting goats etc Mini horses can walked and groomed after taking class ( reservation needed/ fee )!

However, the cabins do have battery packs that are perfect for charging small devices. As the weather cools, we provide a Buddy Heater powered by propane — more than capable of warming the entire cabin. Bundle up and come enjoy a peaceful getaway on our amazing property!
