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!

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

Doni was an incredibly gracious and kind host who went above and beyond to be helpful! The property was perfect for our single night trip, and there seem to be several different sites available depending on what you’re looking for. The spot we selected had a fire ring, had enough room for several tents, and felt secluded even though it was just a 3 minute walk back to our vehicles. There is some road noise at night you can hear, but otherwise we had a wonderful time. We had some success fishing as well along the river, which was quite exciting. The paddle board was fun as well. Would love to come back with a larger group.

Weekend Trip to River Ranch @ Summerville, GA

We absolutely loved the relaxed and private nature of our stay. The sound of the water and the peaceful surroundings were everything we needed to unwind. We stayed under the RV cover in our campervan and extended tent due to the rain which completely kept us dry! The host checked in on is by text and were proactive in all their instructions and information. I highly recommend and plan to come back!

This was a beautiful place to camp! I camped at a secluded site in the forest. There were also two great sites next to the river that were less secluded. Don was a great host and very helpful.

Camping was great! Lots of land for the kids to roam and a wonderful setup with the fire pit, lights, river. Went the extra mile to make the usable property welcoming and feeling of disconnecting with nature.

My sons and I had a great time. The host was very hospitable and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a good stay on the property. The fishing was great…we caught several bluegill and redeye bass. We decided to stay at the more secluded campsite. I would recommend if you decide to stay at the more remote site to bring something to help you tote all of your gear. It’s about a 1/4 mile walk to the site. Overall we had a great visit and I would definitely recommend staying here. We hope to come back sometime soon.

This is a beautiful spot with multiple options for camping. We especially enjoyed the river, which though cold was wonderful for a refreshing swim. The hosts were extremely prompt with communication, and made sure we had everything we needed. Do be aware - as other campers have mentioned, there are multiple cameras around the property, but there is a campsite a bit further walk that feels more private if the cameras bother you. Overall we loved our stay and would certainly come back!

We loved this property! The owners keep it clean and beautiful! They are also super sweet and made sure we had everything we needed. Doni is very communicative and wants to help make your experience the best. My kids loved fishing, playing in the shallow parts of the river, floating on the family tube, and being able to see SO many stars at night. I high recommend this property!

This was my first hipcamp experience and I couldn’t have asked for a better host! The directions they sent were super clear and the parking was well marked. The land was gorgeous and there was a beautiful bridge from which to watch the river. There is space near parking to set up your tent or they have a cool space just a short walk away that has some privacy and also has a fire ring. I camped there. I’ll definitely be back with my backpacking gear for a multi night stay so I can truly explore their 6 acres!!
