Happy Valley Hideaway
Great little camping spot in the Smokies! A bit closer to the road than I realized, but did not hear many cars during our stay.

Happy Valley Hideaway
This was a really nice spot! It was pretty quick access into the park and still close enough to town to run and grab things we forgot or ran out of. We didn't utilize the site to its full potential because we were there for hiking and spending time in the Smoky Mountains. But the composting toilet and outdoor solar showers were a huge bonus! When you've been hot and sweaty all day, there is nothing like coming back to your campsite and having some small comforts of home. Sharon checked in on us and gave us some pointers while we were there. She really did a wonderful in job in making it a lovely place to call home for the week! We've already talked about possibly coming for a stay in the spring to get a whole different experience of the mountains.

Happy Valley Hideaway
Great site. Very cozy and secluded, with exactly as much space as we wanted for our family and pup. Great hiking is close by, and we had no trouble at all finding firewood at the site and on the nearby trail. Truly a home away from home for us. The restroom is very helpful if you need to talk the family into going camping as well 😄

Sharon and Matt are great hosts. When it rained, Matt came out and set up some tarps over our tents when we were not there, it was very helpful. They offered tubes and kayaks that they have. I have been there 3 years in a row now and plan on going back

“There are so many interesting things out here”. Kids loved the fairy houses, “oldtimey phone”, turnstile… one pitched a hammock over the creek. It’s a little magical nook in the woods. No cell service, get directions to your next stop before you get out into the hills.

nice tucked away spot right outside the park, the outhouse and bath house are nice to have especially after living completely outdoors for several days although we didn’t use the bath house because it was freezing outside 😂 sharon was very kind, we’d definitely come back again!

My friends and I had a great time! We arrived after dark but had no issue finding the campground. Plenty of wood for a fire and there was lots of space to hang hammocks. Would definitely come back :)

We camped using a rooftop tent. The campsite was as described, and having a toilet was definitely nice! At night though, neighbors or someone on Sharon's land was very loud and coming close to the tent. That was unpleasant. If that hadn't happened, it would have been a lot better. It was still a nice experience overall though.

Our second time camping at Happy Valley, enjoyed every minute. Even though it rained a lot on us, Sharon checked on us and made sure we had what we needed. The sound of the creek at night was so relaxing. A stones throw away from Smokey Mountains national park makes it easy to explore. Highly recommended!!

The camping site was perfect for me, my gf and our dog! The amenities were great with the outhouse, picnic table, fire pit area and outdoor shower.
It was serene to fall asleep to no city noise and look up to the stars without light pollution. Shannon and Matthew were great hosts and promptly met us as we started unloading.
Would love to stay there again when we adventure to new parts of the Great Smokey’s.

This was a perfect spot right near the Great Smokies Mountains. The land was beautiful, the amenities were really pristine, and we loved to see the two horses. As a surprise, they gave us churros for dessert, and they were delicious! We liked that property only had one camp site, so we were there by ourselves, which was really nice. This was one of the best campsites we have been to, and we would definitely recommend 100%!

We were looking for a mini getaway to unplug from work. The spot was perfect for us with a outhouse, complete with a composting toilet and water and soap to wash hands, a picnic table, campfire spot, and no cell coverage (no ability to answer work emails/texts!). There was some road noise during the day, but it didn’t bother us. We enjoyed watching the beautiful horses and simply being in nature.

I had a great time camping on Sharon’s property! It was so close to Abrams Creek Ranger station that I could bike there. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. She and her son were incredibly accommodating and kind, even brought me cookies upon my arrival and allowed me access to their wifi. Beautiful and secluded site.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% RECOMMEND My fiance and I's minds were blown with this location. It was up in the mountains surrounded by trees. It had a stream along the edge of the site with a small bridge that leads you to a hammock to bask in the sun. It also had a really neat "tree house" out house with toilet paper provided and a light. There was a free standing shower that really make you feel like you were showering outdoors (you literally were) Sharon and her nephews stopped by to provide warm water to shower (what a treat) she even provided restaurants and hiking trail suggestions. The bugs were pretty much non existent. My fiance, pups & I will definitely be returning!

The campsite was exactly as described. It was clean and ready for us. Access for one vehicle was easy and right off the road. That being said remember that you are right off the road so if motorcycle and car noise bothers you it is constant throughout the day. It did settle down at night and didn't bother sleep from 11pm-7am. You are nestled in the valley and the horse in the field was really cool for our 6 yr old. Very friendly and came up to fence and allowed to pet multiple times!

This site was amazing! Nice and secluded and the bathroom was great. Sharon and her son are so incredibly kind and supplied us with dry firewood and a tour of their many critters!

The host was very kind and helped us figure out directions the next day! It was also super helpful that they offered their wifi from their house since there is spotty cell service in the area! We had a lovely fire and the table was large enough for many more than just us! We also appreciated how clean the composting toilet was as well! And the horse was super sweet too! We loved that it was dog friendly!

Verry nice people and well maintained property. Once the gravel is in it will be even better! We got a little stuck but they helped pull our Vanagon out like we were family.

This is a lovely camping spot with a fancy outhouse, picnic table, etc! It's right next to hiking in the National Park, a mountain pass with a fabulous view and pullouts/lookout spots, and all the roads around are beautiful drives. Sharon was very helpful and communicative as well. Definitely a bargain and way more peaceful than you'll find in the big campgrounds.

My first experience with Hipcamp and I was not disappointed at all. Beautiful piece of property right outside Smokey Mountains National park. The hand built outhouse was a nice touch, outdoor shower by the creek was really nice. Their son , Matt greeted me and gave me the run down, couldn’t have been any nicer. Matt and Sharon made sure I had what I needed. Loved it, nice and private. My mini van did get stuck in the mud and they applied every resource and got me out

This little hideaway is a great spot if you want easy access to the smokies but don’t want to be in a crowded campsite. Its extremely close to the Abrams Creek area which we visited several times. You can also have a beautiful drive through the foothills parkway and access the park through the Townsend side. This campsite is easy to get to and just what you need for a simple camping experience. The hosts were very kind and checked up on us a few times to make sure we had everything we needed. They let us borrow dry firewood and some tarps for the rain. The only thing I would say is know how to identify and watch out for poison ivy because there is some by the site. Overall it was a superb stay.
We would come back again! :)

Nice little locale with kind, hospitable property owners and enough space for a small group to hang out around the fire.

My partner and I stayed here for just a night and had such a wonderful experience. We wished we had made time for another night there. The family members we met were all so sweet and welcoming to us. We were in the middle of a big crazy road trip and this was a lovely moment of calm in a beautiful place.
