10mi from Palmer · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
We raise Scottish Highland cattle, goats, sheep, and alpacas on 90 acres of reclaimed coal mine land. We are using the animals and permaculture techniques to repair this land to a vibrant, productive place. We also have ducks, beehives, gardens and a 2200 square foot hoop-house, and we homeschool 3 boys as well.
We have a farm store with a variety of soaps and personal care products, as well as farm products such as homegrown and ground cornmeal, granola made with our duck eggs, herbal teas and herbs, tanned sheepskins, etc.
The farm tours are 1-1.5 hours, the "Junior Tour" is largely meet-the-animals, but also a stroll through the hoop-house, and whatever else may be available (ducklings, bottle feeding goat kids or alpaca crias, etc). The "Sustainability Tour" is with Caleb, and - based on your interests - is focused more on how we graze the animals, rainwater collection, solar set-up, farm management, etc. We gear this tour heavily toward individual interest, basically Q & A about what you want to know about small farm/sustainable/off-grid living.

Get Lost or Find Yourself.
Sway Camping is a private, Off Grid camping experience in Rock Island TN.

Clothing optional sites available and great space for small events and large groups.

We couldn’t have asked for a better overlanding experience! Chris was incredibly communicative, helpful and welcoming throughout booking and the stay itself. The property was well marked, clean, peaceful and we will ABSOLUTELY be back. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a bit of serenity amongst the trees.

Loved our time at Solace Farm! A very peaceful property with a wonderful agricultural operation going on. You can tell the family pours their hearts into what they do! We booked a "Junior Farm Tour" and enjoyed our time walking around the farm with the kids as we learned about the animals, gardens, etc. The Meadow Site has a great sunset view - secluded and peaceful!

We loved staying on Robby’s land. He was friendly, and met us at the gate to give us some directions and details about the campsite. The campsite had 6 spots, and most of the were concentrated on one side of the field, so you may be close to others if you choose on of those. We had no one around us, and aside from the occasional train passing by, it was very peaceful. We had great views of the night sky and saw a few shooting stars while we were out. Plenty of space, good access to a bathroom. We had to walk out a bit to get some firewood, but that wasn’t a difficult endeavor. We all had a great time and would stay here in the future.

First off big thank you to Chris the host. Chris was waiting for me to personally show me where the site was. The site was beautiful and so peaceful with nothing but perfect. It was very secluded and truly felt like no one was around. I was looking fir privacy and this site was it. Short little walk to the river that even has a swing for your enjoyment. Chris made sure my stay was perfect. Highly recommend.

My dog and I had a perfect last second long weekend getaway. The property was easy to get to, close to so many awesome hiking trails, and was beautiful. The host, Robby, communicated well and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. He brought us enough firewood to last the entire trip and offered multiple options in case the weather got too cold while there. I felt very safe as a solo female traveler. Highly recommend anywhere on his property and will hopefully be back sooner than later!

Chris’s place was so much fun! The creek provided endless entertainment for the kids, and tranquil vibes for us all. The pine forest behind the camp was also the perfect place for our hammocks and many games of hide and seek. There was a fire ring at the campsite and plenty of soft grassy spots for our tents. We also had some of the fresh eggs in the morning that were delicious. We can’t wait to come back.

I had a great experience staying on Robby's land. I arrived late so it was dark and he made the process of getting out to the area and set up super easy. It was just me and my dog and I felt very safe and taken care of the whole time. He drove out to where I was going to be and was flexible with where I was able to set up. The second night he brought me firewood. The set up of the whole property was really great. There's walking trails, he mentioned an alpaca farm not too far away, there's bathrooms and potable water in some areas. I found the yurts super cool and there's "floating beds" set up at some of the sites in the woods, as well as larger tents. I will definitely be back again with my friends!

We had a great time under the pines!! We took our 1 year old for her first camping trip here. She had a blast. We did the tour lead by the kiddos. They took us around to see all the farm animals and gardens.
I mean this in the best way possible, the hosts left us alone the whole time after we got everything setup. They seem like they will be as involved as you want. Let us know that we could freely explore the property. Had nice camping neighbors with plenty of distance from each other. Shared compost toilet for the two campsites.
We had our dog with us who doesn’t really play nice with other dogs. The pines area is fenced in. They’ve got a little puppy that slipped through the cracks every now and then, but then we figured out how to get the gate closed so she couldn’t sneak in. She was super sweet though and didn’t cause problems.
We planned to go to stone door, but just decided to stay on the farm because we were having fun there.
Sorry for the rambling, but we had a great time. We will definitely be back!
