Creature comforts
Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.
We have a working farm with sweeping views of Lookout mountain and only 12 minutes from all the comforts of downtown Chattanooga. Our expansive 120-acre property provides campers with the freedom to choose their camping spots anywhere on the farm. Farm animals include horses, cattle, hogs, chickens, goats, bees, stocked ponds, gardens and much more. We have strategically placed signs throughout the property to help you identify potential neighbors. If you desire the company of ducks, consider setting up camp near our picturesque duck pond. For those who prefer the rustic crowing of roosters to a phone alarm, we have four chicken coops dispersed across the farm. Our horses freely roam the front pastures. The cows enjoy grazing on lush grass and taking refreshing dips in the ponds. They also relish watching the sunset from the hill's vantage point, as it offers the best view on the farm. We are a working farm with staff tending to various jobs throughout the day. We have a map to show where the camping site sits on the property. We intentionally leave some of our fields uncut. In some fields, the grass can come up above the knees. We leave that to the animals to take care of. All of our staff are super friendly and happy to help guide you to the best camping spot and answer any questions. In searching for your campsite please note that there may be livestock in and around certain areas as we rotate pastures. Potable well water can be located from the blue spigot outside of the staff housing area, in between the orange and green tiny home, and outside the outdoor shower. Embracing farm life is not just an adventure but also a valuable learning opportunity, whether you're a family or an individual seeking a taste of the countryside lifestyle. We hope to see you soon on the farm!

Hello! Quail Run Farm is located 15 minutes south of Downtown Chattanooga! Welcome to Site 1, a wide-open field tucked right in the middle of our working farm. This spacious, first-come-first-serve site gives you the freedom to pick your perfect spot in the grass, whether you prefer to set up near the shade or closer to the action. Wake up to the gentle sounds of our three friendly horses grazing nearby, and watch cows wander the pasture across the way. It’s a true farm experience, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature. Amenities for campers include: Outhouse and outdoor shower conveniently located within the field. Picnic tables, a grill, and a central fire pit for cooking and gathering. (Please note: individual fire rings are not allowed—everyone shares the main fire pit, making it a cozy communal spot.) One unique feature of our farm is the active train track nearby. Trains pass through about 3–5 times a night. Some campers find it adds charm, others prefer bringing earplugs for a quieter night’s rest—we like to think of it as part of the adventure! This is a working farm, so you will hear farm animals and farm equipment during your stay. This site is ideal for campers who enjoy wide-open spaces, farm animals, and a touch of rustic charm. Come prepared to relax, unplug, and enjoy evenings by the fire under big country skies.

Tent site · Sleeps 10
Hello! Quail Run Farm is located 15 minutes south of Downtown Chattanooga! At Site 2 is a 15-acre, fully fenced-in area perfect for campers looking for both space and shade. You’ll find plenty of room to set up a tent or hammock among the trees, with beautiful wooded views and a peaceful atmosphere. Cars are not allowed inside the site, so plan to park nearby and carry your gear in. At the base of the hill, there’s a flat entrance that makes for easy setup. If you’d like more privacy, you can hike up into the woods and choose a flat spot—or clear a space among the branches to make your own tucked-away campsite. Two rustic shelters are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. There are three communal fire pits as well as three portable fire rings available to use. You’re welcome to collect fallen wood from the wooded area for your fire. Please return fire rings to the entrance when you’re done so other campers can enjoy them. Trains pass through about 3–5 times each night. Some campers enjoy the charm, while others prefer to bring earplugs for a quieter rest—we think it adds to the adventure! Since this is a working farm, you’ll also hear animals and the hum of farm equipment from time to time. This site is a great fit for campers who want a rustic, back-to-nature experience with plenty of space to spread out, a touch of farm life, and wide starry skies at night.

The campsite offers a mix of experiences, with many campers enjoying the scenic farm setting and friendly animals, while appreciating the proximity to Chattanooga. However, some guests noted maintenance issues, particularly with the showers and bathrooms, and the noise from nearby trains can be a disturbance at night. Overall, the farm's charm, especially for those interested in interacting with farm animals, seems to be a significant draw, but it's important to be prepared for a more rustic stay. Visitors generally appreciate the welcoming atmosphere, though improvements in amenities could enhance the experience.

Well being that what it advertised and what it actually was , turned out to be different ! Woke up with people staring in our tents , showers and bathrooms were in a state of decomposition ! Then as we were readying ourselves to leave there was a creepy person standing around our vehicle and looking at our belongings that was not comfortable !! The potential is there but not quite sure they understand what they signed up for on HIP CAMP !!

Overall the experience was fine. The amenities listed didn’t match the photos. Bathrooms and showers were not being maintained and cleaned. The grounds were beautiful but get ready for frequent loud train honking in the middle of the night. Not the most serene sleep I’ve gotten recently but if you’re looking to rough it it’s fine.

Site 2 - Tent Camping
the property was nice and i was thankful for a hot shower after many cold ones, being on the road. upon arrival my doggo and the farm dog instantly hit it off, so i let them roam around together off leash. after reading the rules i believed this was okay because the rule says “pets kept on leash unless otherwise trained”. so in my brain, i read that as, if your doggo is not trained to come upon command they should be on a leash. my doggo is trained and came when i called him. even still, i was told by a worker that my dog needs to be kept on a leash at *all times* because they have a “strict rule” regarding that. i was confused because of the way their pet rule was written on hipcamp but i was told that in the past there have been dogs who’ve attacked their goats so they don’t allow any dogs off leash. if your coming with a doggo i would keep this in mind lol. even though the rule states “..unless otherwise trained”, keep your pet on the leash *at all times*, regardless of what the clause states. other than the pet thing confusing me, the camp was, indeed, 15 minutes from downtown chattanooga, close to ruby falls, and overlook mountain. the city was a beautiful place to explore! have fun <3

We liked the camp site (2), but the showers need work. One shower didn’t work at all and the second had a door about off its hinges. The area was somewhat noisy from a train close by. Overall it was a good and offered beautiful views, we would stay there again.

The whole experience was lovely! We were completely alone on a great piece of land and it was magical. We got to see lots of wildlife and enjoy the farm views. We did hear the trains at night but if you bring ear plugs you’ll be just fine!

This was my first ever Hipcamp experience so I don't really know how it compares. I'll say it was easy to find, a comfortable spot, and I met someone the day we left at their store and she was very friendly. They were very hands off and allowed us to just show up and go do our thing. As others have stated, you definitely notice the trains. Trains seem to be a love or hate sort of a thing. Very beautiful piece of land though and great facilities. We tent camped with the kids and a dog.

Farm Tiny Home #3 - 15 min to Chatt
Where do I start... let's start with the fact that the so called pond to go fishing and swimming is unreachable or you have to be a real dare devil to get up there... they say check in is at 4 but come any time before 8 so that someone can help settle you in... thats a lie was there at 4:05 and there was no one there to let us know anything... wanted to buy some farm fresh food sign at the entrance says open till 6 again there at 4:05 and padlock on the door and when you call you get an answering machine that nobody calls you back from. So be ready to make a few trips to Walmart if you need anything including firewood that was under lock and key and $5 that I would have gladly paid for if anyone would have picked up the phone but of course it probably wouldn't have been any good cause the wood was WET... so now that you went and got your food charcoal and wood from Walmart let's use the BBQ... nope wasn't cleaned out from the last guest ok ill clean it take off foil to find the grates all rusted and the hinge broken so couldn't use it..... okay fine ill just cook some hotdogs on a stick with my 5 year old daughter on her birthday nope fire pit is full of old garbage and dirt... but started a fire anyway daughter ended up throwing up the next morning from the filth coming out that fire pit and we left early... needless to say I sent a message and was told it was my fault for not calling and asking for help while I was there. I DID CALL NO ONE ANSWERED OR CALLED BACK.

We loved tiny home #1! Quail Run Farm was so beautiful and the view of Lookout mountain is amazing. It was a sort drive to Rock City, Ruby Falls and downtown Chattanooga. Everyone on the farm was so helpful. I’d also recommend shopping the farms market! Everything we bought from them was delicious.

hi Joseph sorry for the late review my guy. I just want say to it was a pleasure staying on the farm its a beautiful place! and I would love e to stay there again. thanks for having me. it was my first time camping, on the second night I heard foot steps around the tent. But the big white Dog can't remember is name was barking it sounded like he was close by the tent but I felt safe because when he started barking the foot steps I heard outside my tent was gone, good boy chasing of what ever was outside my tent. Joseph you have a beautiful place and I will definitely stay there again. also thank you for all the quick responses when I had a question one love.

The farm was easily accessed, and staff were super friendly! We were pretty tired from the drive& grabbed a spot fairly close to the bathrooms (very clean& convenient.) Only downside was the train noise. Next time i'd look for a quieter site.

Farm Yurt with Mountain Views
We had a great time ! We didn’t realize this is a real life farm with hundreds of animals you visit! Great if you want to see how to run a farm or one works. Fun for kids with activities and animals to play with. It great talking to those who work on the farm. They were very helpful and full of knowledge. Yes, there are trains that come at night, but it’s part of the experience and you’ll sleep through it the second night 😆 Camp fire available with pokers for marshmallows (you bring) and they even gave us a coffee maker to use.

While severe weather (tornadoes in Kansas) prevented us from staying at Farm Camp as scheduled, Joseph was very easy to communicate with. The property looks beautiful and we hope to be able to stay at another time in the spring.
