Canopy Ridge Safari Tent

The land and camp setup was great. After experiencing Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, it was nice to get to a remote place surrounded by nature. The community bathrooms and the showers were a plus. The charging station and the community outside kitchen was nice. We did not partake in the coffee bar setup but that was a nice touch as well. The shower attached to the tent was great. The only issue we experienced was that if you step out of the shower to go back to the tent to dry off or want to dry off on the outer part of the shower area, anyone going to and from their car can see one doing so, cause the privacy wall surrounding tent 3 was not high enough. Also, something to hold the pull string of the water knob in the shower would have been great, but not necessary if you’re good with washing and rinsing using 1 hand, which we did so it worked. Ticks in the tent was a bit of a problem. They were all over the bottom of the entry way and since the zipper doesn't zip all the way down, they were coming through the opening. I ended up sweeping them off the tent entry and from inside. Its nature, so a couple insects can be expected. We had a noise issue, but the hosts responded to my message in a short amount of time.

Weekend camp trip

I bought the weekend for my grandson (21) and his fiancé. They said it was the best weekend ever and the most awesome glamping trip they could imagine. Thank you Hipcamp and Ana for the accommodations. We will be using again. 5 star.

We stayed here after my partner came off the Appalachian trail. It was close enough to town but yet felt like you were a world away. We had an amazing time. We will stay here every trip back to the mountains.

The tent itself was amazing

The tent itself was amazing, the kitchen and bathhouse was more than enough for our needs, but the pathways, lighting and overall maintenance of the property was definitely in need of some TLC. Most of the lighting was broken or in need of repair. The small lantern provided, which we did not use, would have worked if that was all that we had. I had brought our own headlamps, so it was no problem. The footing of the pathway was soft underfoot and would not be safe for those with balance or walking issues. When I was looking to book a tent, I contacted the host to see which tent would be the best. The outside showers do not get more than lukewarm and are in no way "hot". Apparently, the host was unaware that tent #4 was being repaired and could not even be rented. I booked tent #1 under the advice that it was the closest to the bathhouse. This was also incorrect, tent #3 is the closest to the bathhouse/kitchen area. I wouldn't let the pathways, lighting and misinformation prevent you from booking what was otherwise a really great place but just keep these issues in mind when doing so. I'm hoping this is the start of their season and the things mentioned will be corrected or at least looked at.

Super cozy and convenient

The tent was fantastic and had everything you need. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we were able to truly relax after a long day of hiking. Camp was very nice, pretty close to Gatlinburg and had plenty of food options/grocery on the way back. Would totally come back.

Why would you stay anywhere else

We absolutely loved this place. I have never been cozier or felt more luxurious while camping. This place is a delight and everything was laid out and provided so thoughtfully. Everything was easy and fantastic! I don’t know if I’ve ever slept on a comfier bed. We loved this so much we are now considering doing something like this for a honeymoon.

This was the perfect glamping experience. Cozy bedding, impeccable tent, and perfectly clean. We stayed in tent 1 and could not have been happier with all of our accomodations, the king bed was so comfortable, one of the best nights of sleep ever. Even during a major thunderstorm everything was cozy and dry. Highly recommend staying here anytime, can't wait till we come back again!

We were actually upgraded to the moonlight wagon just before our arrival due to an issue with our tent. The wagon was amazing, and the property was beautiful. And an easy drive to and from the park. I would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to the area!

This place was one of the most well-kept sites we’ve ever visited! Everything was thoughtfully designed and well maintained. We had ample privacy and the aesthetics were unmatched! Beautiful setup with our own fire pit and picnic table, Adirondack chairs, and a separate little porch at the front of the tent with a small table and chairs. The lighted paths were another bonus! One free bundle of fire wood is provided and we bought a second one for 5$. There is a little wooden box for cash. Bear- resistant trash cans are provided. We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend getaway.

This was our last stop on a 5000 mile motorcycle camping trip from NC to Colorado and back. This was a perfect end to our trip - we loved our weekend here. You're close enough to town but far enough away to feel like we were tucked into nature. The views were incredible, the sounds of nature surrounding us were incredible. Directions were spot on and the host answered any and all questions we had. We will be back for sure.

Perfect balance between being out in nature and being comfortable and cozy. We had a wonderful time there and if we are going to look for a camping spot in that area again, we will definitely choose this place again.

This was such a nice place! I stayed in tent 1 which was not the closest one to the shared bathhouse but the next closest. Everything was very clean. The bed was amazingly comfortable. I loved waking up to the sounds of nature. It was about 30 minutes to the heart of the National Park so not a bad drive at all. When I go back the only thing I would bring that I didn't this time is a Coleman stove so I could cook eggs and bacon in the morning.

"Moto-Glamping"—No Problems Here!

Exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. Just as described ... a very quiet and peaceful "glamping" experience. Ana allowed "Instant Booking" which is often what works best for me when I travel ... great communication and a wholly pleasant stay. Private, quiet, and subdued (not to mention well-appointed). Highly recommend.

The land of grounds were absolutely beautiful, and the grounds were kept pristinely. It was much more private than even in the pictures and the tents are bigger spacious. Host was very attentive to our needs and all of the rules and guidelines of the campsite were very well communicated. Would definitely book again!

My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was a very peaceful, relaxing, and enjoyable time. The tent was very cozy, the bed was very comfortable, the outside shower was super peaceful under the sky, and the outside fire pit was very nice! Would definitely recommend.

Amazing experience !!!

Canopy Ridge Tent 2 - Smoky Mtns

This was an awesome experience. We normally tent/car camp, so this was luxurious! But seriously, truly amazing. We stayed in tent 1, and loved the location on the site, as well as the tent/layout etc. The king sized bed was incredibly comfortable. In the tent, there were so many little details that added to the comfort. From the towels, robes, slippers to the propane heater and wood stove heater to the keurig in the tent. There were also 2 really nice tower fans. Several seating options inside and outside. Perfect firewood for inside and outside. The bathroom was just a short walk away, and it was so nice to have a hot shower that had soap, shampoo etc. The kitchen had some great basic things to help. Just note: there are no dishes or utensils other than coffee cups, knives in a knife block, and a cutting board. You the path lights are controlled by each tent, so if your neighbors don’t flick theirs on, part of the path will be unlit. Overall, 10/10 would highly recommend

Glamping at it's finest!

Canopy Ridge Tents are located high up on top of the Smoky mountains and were even more breathtaking than the pictures we had seen. Each Canopy Tent is spaced a significant distance apart to allow each site plenty of room and privacy. Our site had plenty of space for us to relax and enjoy the beautiful, quiet and serene atmosphere. The beauty of the view is absolutely breathtaking! At our site we were provided a fire pit, chairs by the pit, picnic table, chairs and table on the front deck. And to our surprise a camping toilet outside our Canopy Tent in its own enclosed stall. There was also a working sink and shower enclosed off of the back porch for privacy. The set up and decor is absolutely amazing. This is truly Glamping at your finest! Ana, Antonio and the caretakers were absolutely fabulous and went above and beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. They truly were so attentive to our needs. They are definitely wonderful hosts and this is truly paradise! I highly recommend staying here. And we will definitely be returning.
