Get Lost or Find Yourself. Sway Camping is a private, Off Grid camping experience in Rock Island TN. Situated between Isha Yoga center, Fall Creek Falls, and Rock Island state park, this property is something special. Each campsite offers a private space perfect for getting away, or large enough for family and groups. Pet Friendly property with lots of room to be a part of nature along the beautiful Rocky River. Camp along the river or up in your own private forest. One of the darkest skies around so be ready for some stargazing at night by the fire. This is a property I purchased in 2018 to create a camping experience that reflected the image of camping as a kid. This isn’t a "hotel without walls" like state parks and KOA's/ This is real camping. No neighbors. No electric wires. Just nature and beauty in a quiet environment. Clothing optional sites available and great space for small events and large groups. Get lost or find yourself relaxing along the Rocky River. Stay in a hammock, a tent, camper, RV, or one of our cabins. Privacy and freedom is what we are about. Pet friendly camping that should be shared, but please don't tell everyone you know. Only your favorite people.. Then come camp!

Host Chris is very nice and gave great instructions for getting to camp. Campsite was beautiful, and open. Not crowded next to other campers. We will be going here again for sure!

The river spot at Hammock Sway was great! If you are looking for a non campground away from concrete slabs where you can actually hang a hammock, this is it!! There is short walk downhill from the camp spot and parking, but it worth it. Chris was amazing! His directions were spot on, and the spot was just as described. We even bought fresh eggs and fire wood from him.

I enjoyed some private camping, no one around. It has river access. Chris is a responsive host so feel free to ask him if in doubt!
