All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

Our 300 acres has seen cattle and tobacco over the last century, and featured in the Christy book series in the early 1900's, before falling into neglect. Stories abound of moonshiners and cock fighters reveling in it's isolation. Purchased with a dream in 2004 we have slowly recovered the original fields, and developed our own trails, linking in and out of the Cherokee National Forest. From grassy lowland skirted by creeks to ridges of hardwood timber, our farm, now home to our artisanal herd of beef cattle, is an idyll away from the bustle. Visit the old graveyard, or try to find the old schoolhouse location. Bring your dogs and enjoy getting away from it all.

This is the spot to be if you are looking for a private and primitive location. Carrie was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. Very beautiful and secluded site that offers plenty exploring opportunities.

Forest Glade on Beartrail Ridge

10/10! This is definitely our new favorite camping spot and we plan to come back again. First off Carrie is an amazing host, very personable, and accommodating. The location is beautiful and I don't know how you could even think that you could do better than 300+ acres all to yourselves, especially if you love the outdoors and have dogs. This is the perfect spot to get away from it all, enjoy the outdoors, and enjoy time with your friends or alone. Highly recommend checking this out AND definitely purchase some of their farm raised beef at checkout- it's delicious also consider buying firewood from them as well.

We absolutely loved camping on Carrie’s land! Highly recommend to anyone who loves a more primitive, private camping experience in the mountains. Our host was super helpful and accommodating, the hiking was beautiful and the farm dogs were a bonus. We definitely hope to return!

Stunning property, very welcoming hosts that provided firewood and a very secluded camping site. We loved seeing the cows and calves, and all kinds of bird noises in the morning. We will be back!!
