Primitive wooded, sloping .5 acre lot at the top of of Center Hill Lake. Drive down the winding foot hills on the paved rd or the 4 wheel drive recommended dirt rd to a public but secluded boat ramp and swimming area. Both roads are less than 1 mile from property. The boat/swimming area is located directly across from Davies Island. A great kayaking trip is about a 5 1/2 mile paddle around Davies Island. About half way around the island is really nice beaches to stop for lunch. Hikers would enjoy the trail walking at the water’s edge along the peninsula(water level permitting). Great places for fishing too.

Synousia is a Hipcamp Gem years in the making! We hosted a beautiful little 4 acre Hipcamp in CA for years, and sold to buy this 250 acre magickal property in the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee, just 20 minutes from Fall Creek Falls, Tennessee's most beautiful State Park. Our property is one of a kind. We are on high ground, which means the bugs are not bad, and the views are amazing! We have amazing views of the Sequatchie Valley. We have the most incredible rock formations, some are huge, it’s our favorite part of the land. We have an amazing swimming hole with a huge flat rock right next to it for the most relaxing swimming days! We have 3 beautiful creeks that join at the bottom of the property with a small swimming hole where they join. The creeks have incredible rocks throughout, and are somewhat challenging places to hike, but absolutely beautiful to hike up and down. We have over 20 miles of roads and trails that are amazing for walking, hiking, and horseback riding. There are almost endless areas close to us for ATV riding, so we ask our guests to ride off property to keep our place peaceful. We don’t mind noise from a happy gathering or people playing but we try and keep machine noise down to a minimum. We have places for any type of camping, from backpack camping to Motorhomes, but at the moment we do not have hookups and limited on gravel rv areas, but many off gravel areas. The property has every type of wildlife Tennessee has to offer. Please be kind to our wildlife and don’t feed them. We have extensive cave systems from natural to old coal mine caves. There are endless dangers to these caves, from collapsing, to gases, and others… we ask you to enjoy looking from the outside and don’t go adventuring in. We are fun easy going people, and we ask our guests to be the same. We love to have a good time, we just ask that our guests respect the land, and our other guests, and leave the place better than you found it. We are so happy to meet you and hope you make the best memories!

5 nights at Campsite on the Caney

We loved our time at Campsite on the Caney. It is very centrally located -- 15 minutes from town, 30 minutes to an hour to over a dozen state parks & waterfalls to the West, North, & South. Smokey Mountains 2.5-3 hours to the east. Chattanooga 1.5 hours south. We were out from sunrise to sunset for 6 days straight and barely scratched the surface. We had some cold fall days and weren't able to take advantage of the kayaks but the site was gorgeous and wish we had a couple more days just to hang out at the site. Other than a couple cars a day passing by, we never saw anyone the entire 6 days. Our dogs loved it. The host was very hospitable and responsive. I would recommend this site to anyone especially if you have pets and enjoy privacy.

Weekend Trip to Campsite on the Caney

This is one of our favorite spots! Cameron has amazing communication and responds quickly to any questions! The site is well kept and has everything you could want! The site is close to beautiful hikes and is quiet with almost no traffic. I think we saw/heard a couple of cars all weekend. We hiked Lost creek to Virgin Falls on this trip. About 20 minutes from the site and extremely challenging, but worth it if you are up for an adventure! There are also a couple for easier hikes from there that are equally pretty! We didn’t use the kayaks this time but did some bank fishing and it was peaceful. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Campsite on the Caney

This is such a great spot! Very quiet and peaceful, loved the smooth access to the water. The host is very responsive and had a lot of things at the site for us to use (floats, kayaks, extension cords, hoses, etc). Be sure to go through the binder and check out some of the places on their list! Lost creek falls and cave were amazing and we never would have known about it if we hadn't looked at the binder.

Cameron's place is absolutely beautiful! So peaceful yet close enough to Dollar General or WalMart in case the need arises. The communication from Cameron was the best we have ever experienced, she was always quick to answer my many questions! We enjoyed the freedom of taking our kayaks in either direction from camp. Taking a right off the beach then left under the old bridge will take you to Caney Creek and then on to Big Swamp Spring (our favorite). We cannot wait to plan our next visit!

Weekend Trip to Campsite on the Caney

Beautiful campsite - single campsite, so tons of room. Easy access to electric, water, sewer. Wifi even available which is not necessary for camping, but cell service was not great in the area, so it was very nice to have. Kayaks and inter-tubes (with life jackets) available for use - so much fun!! Peaceful. Owners are super friendly and helpful - provided great service and addressed any questions/concerns immediately.

Weekend Trip to Campsite on the Caney

Loved Campsite on the Caney! We had plenty of room for us and our 3 kids and my parents, a nice fire pit, the swings were a nice addition to have at a campsite and the ambiance of the river was so relaxing! We stayed 3 nights and visited Fall Creek Falls, Lost Creek Falls and rented a boat on Center Hill Lake. Fall Creek Falls and Lost Creek are less than 20 minutes away from the campsite! There is also stores less than 20 minutes away just in case you forgot anything! Would highly recommend Campsite on the Caney to anyone!

Weekend Trip to Cricklewood

Micah and Rachel were the sweetest hosts that we hope we can now call our friends. We hope to visit them again soon because we enjoyed their safe and serene property, hospitality, and proximity to Fall Creek Falls. Micah gifted us fire wood and margaritas for our first night and we even left with fresh eggs! Staying with them was a tremendous blessing and we are forever grateful for them. This site would support any style rig or camping. Amazing stargazing on clear nights.
