As i have stated before if you want to be a great hipcamper leave the place better than you found it and your experience will always be great. ThT being said most hip camp host are just everday people trying to share their joy of the piece of planet Earth they call home. So hip campers out there if you like to help then Fiddlers Green is perfect and they will more than accomodate your willingness to be part of a great hipcMp experience. Kudos again to Nicole and her fzmily..

A calm and quiet little getaway. Nicole was very attentive to camper’s needs and provided information on sites to see and things to do in the Athens area. Overall, it was a great experience.

This is a great location for groups looking to camp together, or if you’re looking for a quick & easy stop. The host is welcoming and warm. The outhouse, outdoor shower & sink are clean and work well. Their rustic but well cared for. Site 1 is a bit more secluded from the rest. The communal fire pit is great for socializing. GPS was tricky when we first arrived, then straightened out. Directions were clear as written. The hill into the site is gravel and steep.

I would not spend the night there, restroom and shower are Nasty (see pics) No one mentioned the fact it has a steep loose gravel road with ruts in it to get to the campground I was on my motorcycle and almost dropped it twice. I could not find campsite number 9 even though all the others were empty I could have used another one but I had absolutely no intention of trying to go back up that hill in the dark on my motorcycle so I'd left right after I got there I have a couple of pictures of the bathroom and the showers the showers are nothing but logs and blue tarps and you can see from one shower into the other. I can't blame hip camp for this I do blame the owners that are given less than honest answers about their campground I do understand it's primitive campgrounds there's a big difference between primitive and nasty campgrounds.

The site is very quiet and shady w/ about 6 designated spots to set up. Indivdual and group fire rings available. The bathroom facilities are great with toilet, shower and sink for washing. Nice gravity fed pressure. The Hosts are great and came to the site a couple times to do maintenance. Friendly folks! Nice solar lights make camp area really nice at night.

Title says it all. Need a home for a few days or just a quick place to rest on your travels? This campground has you covered. Nicole greeted us with a smile and gave us the rundown of camp and her family's goals/experiences living off grid. The first thing I noticed on the tour is that they have the nicest outhouse I have ever seen along with showers and a sink for dishes. The sites were far enough apart to have some breathing room, and were well kept. The numerous trees in the area were spaced just right for our hammocks, which was a welcome change from most campsites that have no/few suitable trees. Another thing that stood out was the large communal firepit with provided grilltop to cook on in addition to cob stoves. Though we were the only campers the night we stayed, I could imagine this allowing for some good conversation with other campers during warmer months. There was also a ton of space to explore and play in. The wife and I threw frisbees with the dogs in the large field across from the campsite and hiked through the pines. They also offer tours of their cob houses, which we hope to do on our next visit. On the last night of our stay we took advantage of the absense of light pollution and cuddled under the most gorgeous blanket of stars I have ever seen. As their camground name implies, it was a very peaceful time. 10/10 experience. Thanks Nicole!

It was a very relaxing place to hang out. Kids had so much fun playing in the woods. The compost toilet was very beautifully made and clean. The rocket stove we tried was amazing, and most of all, we got to build a pretty big bonefire! The host were very kind. Their cob workshop sounded really interesting. I would like to go back and join someday. 🙂

The hosts were very kind and on top of it, met me personally to lead me to the campsite :) was gorgeous and very well kept, forest was cute and lots of beautiful plants, spaces were not as private as I expected but there was a fair amount of space in the grassy area. Will definitely be back to see how their land develops into a sustainable community :)

Nicole and Jim are developing their property to include cabin and tent options. Very friendly, invited me to eat dinner with them. Large fire pit with seating. Interesting welcoming hosts.
Great cleared field for watching the night sky.

Nicole, Jim and the rest of the gang were fantastic hosts. We'll definitely be back anytime we're in the area. Chattanooga, Knoxville and Gatlinburg are all within a 1-2 hour drive. The night before we arrived we had camped at Weavers Bend Campground along side the French Broad River. In the morning we made our way into Gatlinburg to walk around for a few hours. Having our fill of the tourist attractions we started towards our next campsite. Nicole welcomed us from just inside the property and led us over to the campsite area, gave us an overview and introduced us to the folks around. The sites are nice and flat, close enough to the facilities and communal campfire ring, and far enough back on the property that road noise is minimal. This trip has found us mostly on trails and at remote campsites by ourselves enjoying each others company and the sounds of nature. It was an especially welcome pleasure in this time of social distancing to sit around the fire and have meaningful conversations with strangers that we now consider friends. The vision they have for this place is inspiring. If you ask nicely they might let you help squish mud/cob with your bare feet.

Great stay. I slept with stars overhead and watched the fireflies. It was a hot summer night and the outdoor shower was perfect to refresh before I hit the road. Jim and Nicole are great communicating and met me on arrival.

Quiet, secluded camp spot. Convenient location if traveling along I75 and need an overnight spot.

The site is small (3 or 4 sites, I think), and very rustic, but very enjoyable. I missed the turn-off, so Nicole drove out to meet me and led me in on the gravel/dirt road - a bit rough, but mostly level - to the campground. It rained for awhile, but once it stopped I was able to get a nice fire going in one of the two large fire pits, and as I ate my dinner I was serenaded by a whippoorwill/screech owl duet, to a frog accompaniment. I was the only guest, so the solitude was awesome.
They have a very interesting solar sink & showers (3) setup - I would have loved to try it out, but it was late and had rained, so the water would have been cold. The sink had great water pressure, though, so I'm sure the shower is awesome, when it's warm. The composting toilet was clean, as was the entire campground - I definitely enjoyed the experience.
