Tucked away atop Sequatchie Mountain, Fireside Camp + Lodge is a peaceful basecamp for exploring some of East Tennessee's best climbing, hiking, waterfalls, and scenic overlooks. Foster Falls, Denny Cove, and Castle Rock are all just minutes away. Our campground features dispersed camping across 5 acres of open field, allowing you to choose the spot that feels right for you. A handful of fire pits and picnic tables are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Guests also have access to a communal barn with a refrigerator, microwave, games, and covered seating, as well as clean portable toilets and a dishwashing station. Spend your days exploring the Plateau and your evenings around a campfire beneath some of Tennessee's darkest skies. While you're here, feel free to wander the property, visit our meditation forest and bluff overlooks, say hello to the chickens, and keep an eye out for Strawberry, our friendly barn cat. Because we live in a rural mountain community, you may occasionally be visited by one of the neighborhood dogs. They are friendly, accustomed to campers, and generally just looking for a quick hello before continuing on their way. The dispersed camping fee is charged per person, per night. Please note that the outdoor shower and sink are seasonal and unavailable during winter months due to freezing temperatures.

Tucked away on Sequatchie Mountain, this little hostel invites you to experience some of East Tennessee's best parks for climbing and hiking. Cliffs and waterfalls are minutes away at near by Foster Falls, Denny Cove and Castle Rock.  Fast internet, complete kitchen, comfortable beds, smart TV, laundry, and farm fresh eggs make this the perfect basecamp after a long day out.  The hostel offers 3 bedrooms - this listing is for a private keyed room with 1x Full bed, 1x Twin bed and a private bathroom. This building was re-crafted to create a modern Appalachian basecamp with a minimalist and functional design. Inside you will find both modern and reclaimed furnishings that are true to the place and time.  Make a campfire and share some s'mores (tip: look up at the stars!), or cuddle up to watch Netflix on the couch. Either way, we created this place for you to get away.  Rooms are stocked with fresh linens and towels (and some complimentary water bottles and snacks), the kitchen has coffee and tea waiting to be made, and there's a small "corner market" with a few snack and meal options to purchase.  You can walk the 22 acres and even take a short hike out to our bluff. Make sure to say "Hi" to our chickens and our barn cat, Strawberry, on the way.

Welcome to your own private off grid cabin nestled on the edge of a picturesque bluff in Sequatchie, TN. If you're seeking solitude, stunning views, and a rustic yet comfortable escape, our small private cabin is the perfect destination. Please keep in mind that this cabin is designed for those seeking a rustic and secluded retreat. If you're looking for more amenities or a traditional bathroom with a shower, check out our other listings on the property! The cabin is truly an off grid retreat into nature with an incredible mountain vista. The interior of the cabin is comfortable for two with a live edge cedar table, full bed with a memory foam mattress, and an air conditioner for warmer days. Step outside to the covered outdoor kitchen, fully equipped with a gas stove, mini fridge, sink and essential cooking supplies. As evening falls, gather around a campfire and take in the cliffside stargazing. Power is no issue; the cabin runs on a robust battery bank charged by a gas generator. Simply push a few buttons for electricity. For nature's call, discover the thoughtfully designed composting toilet/outhouse with a mountain view! There's an outdoor shower at the front of the property with hot water. Additional guests are welcome to camp for a fee.

This campsite offers a mixed experience, with a strong sense of community among campers and a peaceful setting under a starry sky. While many reviews appreciate the friendly atmosphere and well-kept facilities, there are concerns about the lack of firewood, occasional noise from nearby homes, and the taste of the water. Several guests noted the charm of the property's animals, like the golden retriever and chickens, adding a touch of warmth to their stay. However, the accommodation's value for money is questioned due to the absence of some amenities like a functional fridge or readily available firewood.

Hey! I rarely leave negative reviews, and I do not want to bring down the lovely people behind this campsite. I just want to provide accurate information for people making decisions about where to camp. While I really enjoyed my trip and the surrounding parks (like Foster Falls) there were some things listed at this campground which I did not find to be accurate. Here is a list of a couple things that should be noted if you are considering this stay. - The bathroom is a single porta potty, which was clean but out of toilet paper. There was no running water near by, so it is hard to wash hands etc. - The fridge/freezer was broken - There was not firewood available for sale - There are homes on either side of the field, so it does not give off a wilderness feel - The host was not responsive to my message on hipcamp, however I did not try to reach them otherwise so I don't know if they would have been responsive. - The water tasted pretty unusual, and there was only one small area to get water, very far from the bathroom - As listed on the website, you need to carry out all your trash with you. Overall, I really enjoyed myself. There were fire pits and picnic tables scattered around, and all the other campers were very friendly. There was a golden retriever who hung out at that campgrounds as well. It was a first come, first serve situation with tent placement, and you can basically set up your tent anywhere. Overall, I would come back, but for a cheaper price. $12 per person per night adds up, and I'm not sure it was worth the value of the stay.

Fireside Camp
Unfortunately for our first stay and first time trying Hipcamp we were very disappointed. The pictures and map do not match this place at all for tent campers. The driveway entrance is poorly marked in the dark, the entrance way trashcans were overfull and trash was on the ground (not the best first impression). We did not stay in their cabins so I can not speak to the quality of those. Myself and my husband, at the direction of the host through the app, attempted to text the owners about firewood on site and they responded 12 hrs later. The communal barn was basically a trash catch, cardboard boxes everywhere, the grounds were overgrown and just unkept. The other family camping there said they also didnt have firewood so they just used old logs they found in the randomly strewn fire pits in their field. Maybe it is because it is not peak summer but for the nightly price I was disheartened by this stay. If we had paid for more than one night we would have left after one.

I stay at this campground every year for the Chatt Kiki, and it's always a good time. I appreciate that this space is private + quiet. The outdoor shower is really a game changer, and the move of the dish sink to the outside of the shower is super helpful for taking care of all the water needs at once. I only wish there was maybe another sink or water source closer to the communal barn/clubhouse since the porta potty is over there and it would also prevent having to transport used camp cookware up the hill. The barn, however, is a stellar setup wish communication fridge, toaster oven, microwave, and lots of plugs for any electronics. 10/10, will stay again.

What a beautiful place! We booked last minute, and Nick was responsive and prompt with our confirmation and questions, even about a great dinner spot. The hostel itself was comfortable, clean, and cute. The property was thoughtfully maintained with a lot to explore. We absolutely loved the meditation forest walk! Even though we were only there for a night as a stopover during our travel, it was a highlight to stay there. Thank you!

This place is amazing. It is truly a retreat. It is a spiritual place. There is an energy there that is beautiful. You can walk a trail with eight Buddhas and read these affirmations that just are simple and tell you to breathe in good things and breathe out bad things. It’s so beautiful. I could not recommend this place more. The people who own it and run it are amazing and kind and very generous. I will be back here regularly. Just to go hang out and spend a couple of nights there here and there. It’s $12. Well, $15 with tax to sleep in a tent for crying out loud. I mean come on that’s amazing. I love this place. It’s beautiful. The energy is clean and peaceful and regenerative.

This place was great. I booked the site last minute and the hosts were responsive and warm. We had plenty of room to set up a tent and bonfire, and the site felt safe (important to me as a solo female) to lay outside and stargaze at 3am. My son and I were surprised by a golden retriever and friendly kitty who joined us for a while! The outdoor shower was well kept with great water pressure. This was a lifesaver with the high temps! A great find. Would love to stay in one of the cabins another time!
