We purchased our 30-acre homestead in 2016 to give us a peaceful retreat on the edge of the Smoky Mountains.
We have some of the best views of the Smoky Mountains. Only a five minute drive to the Tellico lakes, a short drive to the National Forest so there is plenty of fishing and hiking nearby.
Our site has a fire pit, picnic table, gas grill, and comfortable chairs to enjoy the evening fire.
The RV site has full hookup with 30 and 50 amp service, water and sewer.
Firewood is always available and restocked daily.
Our farm dogs Jack and Henry enjoy company so well behaved pets are welcome.

We spent a week at Rusty Acorn Farm, and it was so peaceful and calming. Stephen and his wife were very friendly and helpful. They even gave us soe fresh eggs and cherry tomatoes. Henry and Jack are the sweetest dogs, and we would call for them to come visit us and get a treat. The campsite is a little tricky to back into if you have a long camper, but once you are in, the campsite is better than most campsites you have been to before. The firepit area was so nice, my wife now wants me to do the same thing with our firepit area at home. I almost hate to recommend this campsite, because i dont want it so booked up that i cant get a spot when i want, but it is an amazing place, and I highly recommend it.
Had an absolutely lovely stay at the Rusty Acorn! Stephen and his wife were very welcoming and super helpful. Made sure I felt welcome and had some company but also gave me my space. Made for a wonderful first Hipcamp adventure, couldn’t have asked for a better spot.
Well maintained Hipcamp in a peaceful/private setting. Full RV hookup if needed. Lovely campfire area complete with grill, picnic table and extra seating. Hosts are very kind and we appreciated the great communication. We traveled here for family function but would gladly come back to relax and explore the beautiful Tennessee mountain area. Thanks for being an excellent Hipcamp host and sharing your land with us.
What a wonderful place to stay! We cannot wait to go back in the Spring. Stephen was very helpful with helping us back in, and with anything else we may have needed. Jake and Henry (the canine hosts..lol) were very behaved. We had our dog that hasn't been around other dogs, except for his siblings, and had no problems at all. It was a very relaxing stay! We will definitely be back!
We loved the quiet beauty of this campsite. We watched the rosy colors of the sunrise over the nearby mountains each morning and enjoyed sitting by the fire each night watching the moon rise and the stars appear. We loved the tranquility of sitting by our endless fire and just being together in the moment. The setup of chairs and tables and even a grill were such a nice touch. It was even decorated with seasonal fall goodies. We had farm fresh eggs that were amazing! So many little extras that made our trip wonderful!
