Our six-acre solar-powered goat farm is a quiet and peaceful slice of paradise away from the chaos and noise but close to so many places to adventure. Summer in the mountains is the perfect time to camp. While it may get hot during the day, our sleeping weather is almost always in the 60s and there's plenty of swimming holes nearby. Feed and play with the goats, picnic along our grass-covered brook, hang out around the large fire pit, and rejuvenate while being close to the many Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountain activities. We have two custom-built RV pads with 15 and 30-amp service plus water and four grass tent locations overlooking a small brook in a forest-shaded park-like setting. Internet is provided by Starlink Business - high speed, low latency, and great for remote workers. We provide solid service throughout the entire property. Work from the top of a mountain!! IP service is available throughout the property - perfect for Van Life or van living. 200-300 down and at least 20-30 up!! Nearby are numerous hiking trails, lakes, waterfalls, and other outdoor activities such as tubing, white water rafting, and boating. If you want to chill, you can check out a local swimming hole, We have several options for our guests at the farm, including a small zipline, farm activities, loop trail, massage services (20+yr licensed), spring trail, wine tastings, weekly outdoor movies (on request), and our petting area where you can interact with very friendly goats. RV/CAR/VANLIFE We can help by recommending and using local mechanics, on-site RV repair (they come to us), solar and power troubleshooting, and good old-fashioned southern kindness. STORMS/BAD WEATHER Located on the campground is a tiny home shed that is being converted to a studio but is open and available during harsh weather.

Camping with Goats- 5 stars!
This place was absolutely incredible! Scott is very hospitable and really makes it easy to settle in. The tent sites are all very spacious and despite being on the same property as their home, you feel like true camping. The morning view was beautiful and quiet. Very short walk to the shower house & toilet (makes camping with kids a breeze). The animals are precious and very well cared for. I had the pleasure of rocking a baby goat to sleep in the hammock. The drive to town is about 20 minutes. Highly recommend!

Camping in a small farm in nature
Excellent camping spot in Smokey Mountains. It has great views. Scott is a great host who takes his time to show his farm if you are interested in it. We went there as a family of four and we felt very secure. It is both in nature but also close to farms so that you do not feel completely isolated. I would go there again.

Beautiful and Tucked Away
What a hidden gem!! Slept great in my tent under a forest filled with amazing insect and tree frogs singing to me and my pup. Great for dogs and Scott was an awesome host and communicator.

The water tasted like sulphur. The shower was barely usable and was freezing cold. Other than that, the hosts were great and very welcoming. I would enjoy staying again.

We loved our time at Scott's farm. He introduced us to the goats. They are so sweet and adorable I left wanting some of my own. The property has several sites with plenty of room for privacy. Water and electric available as well as a full restroom w shower. My son loved the wifi. We booked for a second night.

Happy goat helpers 🤪
It was very nice. Scott and his wife were very welcoming and even put up with my son filling them around helping with the goats. I would definitely go again. ☺️
