Secluded Campsite, Spectacular View
This place is perfect. And for the price you really just can't beat it. Plus the hosts were perhaps the most communicative we've ever had, not just on HipCamp, but among the many other short term rentals we've visited as well. The property is private, overlooking the gravel (loop) road that goes in and out. It's very secluded but you can hear traffic coming in and out on the gravel road below, though that is very rare (I'd say we saw maybe 4 trucks pass in our 2 days there). Perfect view of sunrise, though we're more sunset folks which was on the other side of the mountain, and if you're lucky enough to have clear skies the stars are AMAZING. Location is perfect. 20 minutes to Townsend, 50 minutes to Gatlinburg. As long as you understand that this is primitive camping you will not be disappointed! WAAAAY better than the packed campgrounds in town. Next time we're that way, this is our spot again for sure!

Directions were precise, and Jason even checked to see which way we were coming from to give us the most accurate directions. Hill up to camp spot is very steep and a good bit of loose gravel, so definitely recommend AWD or 4x4. We did have FWD (van) and were able to get it up, but someone not experienced in driving their FWD up a loose gravel hill will probably have more difficulty. The only place to really set up tent is on the gravel - so definitely want to have something to sleep on for comfort. We didn't bring an air mattress, but we padded the tent floor with plenty of blankets.
