Welcome to Salty Pines, a peaceful 14-acre getaway tucked between the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers in the quiet hills of Turtletown, Tennessee. Nestled on the edge of a 450-acre working farm, Salty Pines sits where the wild things are — open skies, clean air, and the kind of quiet you can actually feel. What began as a simple dream between three best friends has grown into a hand-built retreat for campers seeking space, privacy, and a true connection to the outdoors. We’re slowly and intentionally shaping these acres into a place that feels like home—clearing tucked-away campsites, carving out trails, adding off-grid comforts, and creating the kind of mountain escape we always wished existed. We’re three longtime friends from different islands who bought this land to create a place where people can unplug, breathe, and return to simple living. Every campsite, trail, and fire pit on this property was built by us—no contractors, no big companies—just hard work, good music, and a love for the outdoors. In town for a white water rafting trip? Stay with us and receive a discounted trip at one of the largest and established outfitters on the Ocoee River! Message us after you book your stay and we will get you hooked up! Only 20 minutes from the property! Enjoy our outdoor shower fed by rainwater and spring water with hot water after a long day of outdoor fun! Also have an outhouse on site. Building this property from the ground up, will have a bathhouse with flushing toilets and showers this fall of 2026! Contact us directly for group rates and events! :) Sharing Salty Pines with travelers is a dream come true for us, and we’re grateful to have you here!

Great weekend getaway!
The Hideaway Yurt Site
Wow! This was the best trip I’ve had (and I don’t even like camping 😳) The hosts Tighe and Taylor felt like second family and showed us all the best spots around Turtletown. We went to a beautiful waterfall hike and even got to meet their dog Gator! 🥰 I can’t wait for my next trip!!

I had the best girls weekend at Salty Pines! The property is perfectly secluded but still not far from some fun local spots and hiking trails! The yurt was so spacious and clean. The bed was so nice and comfy. We had such a wonderful time and would highly highly recommend!!

Me and my dog Moose had a great stay at the Salty Pines! The bed was super comfortable and we were close to the amazing Turtle Creek Falls trailhead and a cute local bar that had some good food. The space feels truly secluded and in nature making for a nice get away

My absolute go to campsite! Turtletown is an undiscovered gem. So many beautiful trails and water falls, not to mention the fun local spots in town and the neighboring mccaysville! I’ve had repeat stays and this place only gets better each time. I love the couple running it, you can tell they care about the land, the nature and the community ties.

The perfect setup
Hidden Holler Yurt Site
Awesome location.! You’re close to both the Ocoee and Hiwassee, so it’s perfect if you want to float, fish, or just explore. We spent the day on the river and came back to a quiet campsite with a fire going — can’t beat that. Great mix of adventure and relaxation. You can tell the owners put a lot of thought into the property! We are already planning a trip back in the spring!
