Welcome to our little slice of Tennessee paradise on the beautiful Cumberland River, just east of Nashville. Less than an hour from Nashville, but feels worlds away. Our 10-acre property features about 400 feet of Cumberland River frontage, with beautiful water views, sandy beach areas, open grassy fields, pastures, and peaceful countryside sunsets. Whether you want to relax by the river, enjoy nature, or experience farm life, Big River Camp is the perfect getaway. We moved here to enjoy open space with rolling hills, river life, and lots of animals — and created a peaceful homestead we lovingly call our “Little Zoo.” If you’re interested in our optional Farm Tour, you’ll get to meet plenty of friendly animals during your stay — and even try milking our goats and learn how we make yogurt, cottage cheese, and homemade cheese. Our little zoo includes 3 horses and a donkey goats and sheep chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese peacocks barn cats and our sweet farm dogs, who help protect our livestock and poultry All of our animals are friendly, social, and used to being around people. They’re part of the family and one of the things guests love most about staying here. Spend your days relaxing by the beach, fishing, swimming, enjoying campfires, or exploring nearby hiking trails, parks, and small-town Tennessee adventures. At night, enjoy peaceful skies, nature sounds, and the calm of riverside camping. Big River Camp is perfect for: tent camping family getaways animal lovers nature retreats river adventures relaxing weekends outside the city We’re excited to share our peaceful homestead and riverfront with you.Sandy Beach 1 Riverfront tent campsite with little sandy beach and a fire pit Sandy Beach 1 is a peaceful riverfront tent campsite tucked along the beautiful Cumberland River.

Sandy Beach One

This site far exceeded our wildest expectations. The riverfront access was beautiful & super private. All the animals on the property were extremely friendly. And the hosts went above and beyond with access to their mobile sauna and showing us how to milk goats! We’re already planning on coming back it was so perfect. Thank you Anastasia and Jared!
