Big South Large Dome – Luxury Glamping Near Brimstone & Big South Fork
Welcome to the Large Dome — a one-of-a-kind geodesic dome tucked into 3.5 private wooded acres in Scott County, TN, just minutes from Brimstone Recreation Area and Big South Fork. This stay is perfect for couples, nature lovers, and adventurers looking for both comfort and wilderness.
Inside, enjoy a king-size bed, private sauna, en suite bathroom, and cozy touches like a stocked coffee bar, cocktail fixings, and s’mores kits. The dome includes Wi-Fi, a TV, and a small kitchen with a griddle, air fryer, microwave, and mini fridge.
Outside, unwind by the fire pit, explore on-site trails, or cast a line in the stocked pond — fishing poles included. Sunrise views over the water make mornings magical, and bistro lights over the picnic table create the perfect evening setting. The space is pet-friendly, so bring your furry friend!
🌿 What to Expect:
This is luxury glamping, but you’re still in nature — you may hear birds, frogs, or the occasional train. Rainy days feel cozy as drops tap on the dome roof.
The Large Dome is about 200 feet from a second, smaller dome. Each has its own private outdoor area, ensuring plenty of space and solitude.
🚵♂️ Nearby Adventures:
Located in Tennessee’s adventure tourism capital, you’re minutes from:
• Brimstone (ATVs, hiking)
• Big South Fork (hiking, kayaking, fishing)
• Mountain biking and horseback riding
• Scott County Jail ghost tour (spooky fun!)
Fishing lessons are available upon request.
You’ll have private access to the dome, trails, pond, and outdoor space. Fires are allowed only in the designated fire pit. Explore the property at your own risk and respect neighboring guests if the other dome is occupied.
Unplug, explore, and unwind in one of Tennessee’s most unique and peaceful stays.

We totally enjoyed our stay at Hillbilly Haven Rv.
Our kid was over the moon playing with the hens and the dogs. We lived the breakfast.
It's close to everything: 20 minutes to Townsend & pigeon forge.

This site was perfect for us this winter! We didn't have all weather gear, so really appreciated the ability to stay here and enjoy the rv with its amenities, as well as socializing with chickens in the evening before we made a camp fire. The location is also great proximity to the things we wanted to explore in the area- Dollywood and Smokey mountains. Def would recommend to other interested campers traveling to the area :)

The best dog-friendly glamping sites in Norris Lake guide
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.
