Welcome New Friends!
This beautiful piece of Tennessee land is family-owned and newly developed to be shared and enjoyed with friends and family. Heartstone Campground was named after Dan and Mandy found a “Heartstone” on the property while out walking one evening by the creek. It just seemed perfect.

Several sites to camp on 17 acres of forested land. In Linden Tn., an hour and a half drive from Nashville. The property is on a mountain ridge and community of large acreage properties ranging from 5 to 70 acres +. You'll be a 11 minute drive from the small town of Linden for easy access to a grocery store, restaurants and the Commodore Inn and Cafe. Five minutes to the Buffalo River with several kayak, canoe and tubing rental outfitters available from town or close by.
Currently 'off grid' At the entrance is a concrete parking pad where an RV can park and enjoy a lovely view of the Loblolly pine forest below.
Further down the mountain a winding road can be walked or driven (best if off-road, but I drive a front wheel SUV when dry) leads to additional sites on a level field of a mixture of cleared or treed , but private sites. A level area, then further slopes around the property to streams on either sides and a waterfall in the back of the property. Access to the waterfall is down a fairly steep mountain slope so accessible only for the adventurous.

The property is 116 acres of primitive camping area, with 2 year-round creeks running through the property and plenty of room to hike and explore nature. About 40 acres are in pasture and the rest are wooded, with an area under development.
This is a scenic and picturesque natural environment. We want to keep it that way so we do ask that you have a way to dispose of your waste and leave no litter behind.

Dan and Mandy were excellent hosts. We camped in campsite 10 which was big enough for two families with dogs. There was plenty of firewood to be gathered. Dan and Mandy were responsive, extremely accommodating, and checked in the right amount. They are very passionate about their campground and it shows. The bathrooms were well lit and fully stocked. Look forward to coming back here with the kids! There is a swimming hole on site but the water was low due to lack of rain recently. It was still knee high and felt refreshing. The kids loved walking through the water. The star gazing at night was incredible. There is no city lights. Will definitely come back!

The property is wonderful. We stayed on site 7. My dad stayed on site 9. The way the sites are set up. While sitting outside your camper, you are facing the woods. This makes it feel like you are not even at a campground. With my dad’s camper next to us (end to end) we had a ton of room for us to spread out. Troy and Jodi were extremely nice and came over to say hello. Would definitely recommend staying at this campground.

This is my second time camping at Troy's place. It has everything you need as a camper - electric, water, sewer (at each site) and fiber internet (at each site). It's a great get-away and yet only about 10 minutes from Liden TN if you need to pick something up at the local grocery store. It is also near several kayak rental places. You will enjoy your stay!

WOW!!!
Don't hesitate to stay here.
First, this is only an hour away from our home but the drive there was beautiful. We didn't know it was so pretty.
When we arrived, we met Jody. She's so warm and genuine. The campground is under construction but it is wonderful. We met Troy as he took a break from working hard just to say hello and welcome us.
At night the campground has beautiful lights not big street lights but lanterns that provide just enough light.
Do yourself a favor and take a drive. We didn't use GPS for our drive we just drove. So beautiful!!
This campground is a hidden gem. Full hookups with WiFi!
We will be back often.

This was a great campground - facilities are perfect. Full hookups and even our own WiFi router for just our site! Nasty/stormy weather for the weekend we visited, so we didn’t get out to explore much, but we’d definitely come back here if we’re in the area.
