Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Enjoy glamping in our optional 2017 19' retro style camper with a bathroom and kitchen or go primitive and set up your tent or hammock by the waterfalls and rough it. 2 sites have electricity. No bathrooms or showers if you're Just 35 minutes west of Loveless Cafe' in Nashville and 20 minutes south of the Dickson exit at I40. The 48 acre campground has just 3 big tent sites for more seclusion and is almost all old forest with wide trails and huge old growth trees. There is about a 1/2 acre of field to park in between the road and the creek if you don't have an off road vehicle. The rest is woods. Mother Nature has a lot to offer when you cross the creek into the first two campsites that are on the 30' creek. One big spring runs through the middle of the 2 sites with small cascading waterfalls. Both sites have string lights and 120V extension cords. These two sites are separated by the driveway and about 150' apart but a bridge connects the two if you have another couple that wants to join you these two spots are perfect for privacy and companionship. Expand the pictures to a full screen as you scroll so the description will show up at the bottom of the picture. Not all pictures are on the property but describe close places to visit as well. FIREWOOD: Split wood is available upon request and sold in the area (if it's available at the time) or any fallen dead wood from the forest is free. $7.00 for a 20" bundle. Please let us know ahead of time or order it on the site. SITE 1: The nicer of the two sites along the creek, has granite counters, a round fire pit with a fold down heavy cooking grate, charcoal grill and a large wrought iron table and chairs. RENT A CAMPER WITH SITE 1 or BRING YOUR PERSONAL CAMPER: Our retro style 2017 option on the other side of the creek with stairs and stones to cross the creek. Sometimes the walking stones get washed out. 30 amp. 240 and 120 volt plugs. Click on additional fees for camper electrical hook up. SITE 2: Also along side the 30' creek. There is a round steel fire pit surrounded with wrought iron chairs, a separate picnic table, granite countertop work space and a small grill. 2 fairly flat areas for tents. Set your chairs in the creek in front of your site. The clear cold water is a great place to relax and cool off or watch crawfish, minnows and salamanders and the occasional blue herron. 120V and string lights. Parking is a little tight unless you're in a Jeep of more off road vehicle that can park up the hill a bit. SITE 3: "Still Hollow" is more private and located right in the middle valley of the property where a different spring fed creek runs down the wooded valley. There is no electricity but you can still enjoy the sound of small cascading waterfalls and a creek that runs along the side of the site for a relaxing sleep. There is a granite countertop, charcoal grill and a fire ring. A small round wrought iron table and 4 chairs are there for a place to eat lunch. The old moonshine barrels are still barely standing by the spring. This site is also accessed from the opposite side of the campground on Ben Fly Rd or Greer Rd for the serious off roaders. 4 wheel drive may be necessary but a Hyundai car entered through the creek in 2 wheel drive. It was dry though. STAR GAZING for all 3 sites: There is a cleared area on top of a hill side for stargazing far from the city lights. CHECK IN: Check in can be as early as like if the present campers have checked out. You can always hang out elsewhere on the property and start your day to explore and hike till they leave. Just let us know in advance. And you can stay all day the day of check out but you may have to pack up and park elsewhere if other campers need the spot. If not. Stay till dark. PHOTOS: EXPAND THE PHOTOS TO A SINGLE VIEW! Some photos are of nearby attractions. You can see the description of each photo and which site is in the picture when you expand them. VEHICLE TYPE AND PARKING: In order to drive up into the campsite, you may need a 4x4 vehicle but definitely need ground clearance. If you do not have a 4x4 vehicle or ground clearance, that is okay, park in the field and bring your water shoes for campsite 2. There are stairs and usually stepping stones to cross over to Site 1. Stepping stones for site 2 are coming soon. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: 4 WHEELING!!! FISHERS OFF ROAD RENTALS https://www.fishersoffroadrentals.com/ TOUR THE AREA IN A CAN-AM: Check out 'Fisher's Off Road' to rent a really nice 4 seater CAN-AM machine. Drive around the local dirt roads for miles and learn the history of Moon Shine Alley, drive through many creeks and see some beautiful views. We took to tour with Fisher and it was a blast. This company supports the locals and cleans up the trash on the sides of the roads; a great service to the area. FISHING: https://www.fishingworks.com/tennessee/maury-tn/lake/hooker-chemical-pond-d/ 30 minutes away are 3 small lakes, or very large ponds. I think it costs $5.00. They have small boats for rent as well. FISHING, KAYAKING AND CANOEING: PINEY RIVER Canoe rental: https://www.pinewoodcanoecamp.com/ Great fishing, floating and they have camping as well. OTHER CAMPING OPTIONS: Fisheroffroadrentals also has a Hipcamp site. PINEY RIVER GLAMPING: https://www.campspot.com/book/pineyriverresort Beautiful place on the piney river. Beautiful tiny home cabins, Glamping tents that are amazing. Park your own camper on the river. If you like to meet other campers, this is the place to go.

Still Hollow

This was our second time camping on Jimmy’s land, and our expectations were again exceeded! Still Hollow is quiet, private, and spacious. The creek that runs through is so serene, and on a clear night the stars are incredible. We stayed 3 nights and never ran out of trails or country roads to explore. Jimmy is beyond accommodating, generous, and helpful. He goes out of his way to create a memorable experience for his guests. We are already planning our return!

Creekside Site 1

We had the place to ourselves, and had one wonderful night at Site 1. Jimmy was wonderful, communicative and so welcoming. He gave us a tour of his entire property! Loved best: the sound of the creek on two sides of our tent. The string of lights, the mini fridge, and the giant firepit w extra (cedar) firewood. We’re already planning our next visit!

Creekside Site 1

Jimmy was the most hospitable hosts ever had (and I mean including hotels, Airbnb, Hipcamp, etc) and made the utmost effort to make my friend and I feel welcome. He personally showed us around his property as well as where the best star gazing spot was, and was even kind enough to offer us a ride into town when we were unable to do so. This is my new staple campsite when I need a night away from Memphis. Whether it’s with friends, family, or yourself, this campsite has exactly what you need in a getaway.

Still Hollow

We loved tent camping at this property. Jimmy was incredibly kind and an amazing host. The site was clean and had the best white noise with the creek water. We can’t wait to go back.

CAMPER OPTION

It's a gorgeous location - super relaxing, lots of fun things to do. Jimmy is also probably the best host we've ever had. He is so thoughtful and strikes the perfect balance of being helpful while still giving plenty of space to guests. If you're thinking of staying here DO IT - you will be impressed and likely become a return visitor, I know we will be!

Creekside Site 1

I took a day to go explore and look at the property as accomodated by Jimmy himself. Let me tell you, when I got there the land was very last and pretty, everything from creeks, to mini-waterfalls, to a shooting range, to your campsite. My group and I had a very wonderful time staying here. Jimmy's accommodations reach the above and beyond, honestly the best camp host I have ever had. He came by and supplied us with firewood for free during the heavy rain we camped through twice, he took us on a atv to go get phone signal across the land as well. He even took his truck through a strong moving creek after a rainstorm just to supply us with toilet paper. I highly, and I mean highly recommend staying here, his accomadations and the beautiful scenery around the campsite make it such a good and chill environment for a get away. Can't forget about the rope swing and a regular swing as well!
