The Bolo Club
I loved the tent camping on Philip’s land. Philip was great and very attentive. He would come check on us to see if we needed anything. Lucky for us he had keeps firewood and ice stocked. We had a great camping spot right on the creek. We definitely plan to go back.

My family and I had a great time on Phillip’s land. We tent camped at the bolo club beach next to the creek. The kids had a blast in the field and with the animals. Phillip was very hospitable, showing us around the property and even providing some extra fire wood. Would recommend.

We had the best time at Bolo Club! Me and my friends camped there for 2 nights at the beginning of September 2023 during a road trip. The owners, Mary and Charles, were incredibly nice to us; they showed us around, they let us stay under the roof for the first night because there was a high risk of storms... The neighbors were super hospitable as well, and we had the opportunity to have dinner together and chat by the fire, under the stars... It was for sure a magical couple of days! Furthermore, the installations were amazing: lots of space to camp, lots of restrooms and showers, very comfortable and clean, the possibility to buy ice for keeping our beverages cold, very efficient wi-fi... I will definitely come back if I have the chance!

What an absolutely enchanting experience! The panoramic views at The Bolo Club were simply breathtaking, and as we explored the grounds, the company of horses, turkeys, and other endearing animals was a charming surprise.
One standout feature was the barn, illuminated by delicate string lights, creating a magical ambiance. As the sun set, a few talented RV campers sang and played their guitars, making us feel like we were in a scene from Footloose.
Without a doubt, we will be returning to The Bolo Club, eager to relive this extraordinary experience and create more unforgettable memories.

Absolutely nothing bad to say about the Bolo Club. My girlfriend, my dog and I stayed at “the beach” (right alongside the running water) in our roof top tent and it was prrfect. Host was so kind and welcoming, but gave us plenty of space. The people staying closer to the bathhouse / shared kitchen and cabin lounge were very friendly and fun. A great place with better people. Bathrooms and showers were very well maintained, firewood and ice always available on an honor system. Would absolutely recommend. Thanks y’all!

Bolo Club completely exceeded our expectations! The area is amazing, Mrs Mary and everyone there were so welcoming and friendly, and my two girls are already playing a return trip. The bath houses were super clean, well kept and a great place to clean up. They even provided a area to wash dishes in the provided outdoor sink. We were given the option to camp anywhere we liked and had a perfect spot at the base of the mountain with the creek directly behind us. My girls were able to ride horses and learned a lot about handling a horse. The hiking and various trails are beautiful..be sure to explore the cave, it’s amazing!!

Very remote TN mountain playground. Horses, 4wheeler, Huntin’ Oh My! The atmosphere is that country kind of calm. Be aware there is DEF wildlife up here. Heard Two packs of Coyotes, a Mountain Lion (20 ft from my ten), River Otters, Turkeys, plenty o deer—these are the creatures heard/saw in a 24 hr stay. I love it this way, but just so you know, be prepared.
Temperature drop is Real, that said, be prepared.
Plenty of hiking to be had!
The folk in charge are good home folk—I only remember Mary and Steve’s name, but there’s one more gentleman with his trusty dog sidekick that make you feel welcome.

My husband and I tent camped there with our dog and toddler. We had an amazing time! The land is beautiful and we were welcomed so graciously by the hosts. They showed us around their museum of all the Civil War and Native American artifacts found on the property, let us eat the pears off their tree, and we even got a four wheeler ride to a cave from some fellow lodgers. The facilities were clean and even smelled good. Our son loved to watch the ducks in the creek and pet the horses. We will definitely be back!

I stayed for one night at The Bolo Club and really enjoyed it! The hosts were very relaxed and kind, and brought me some wood to get a good fire started. When I arrived no one who worked there was around, but some other guests pointed me in the right direction and I camped right by a creek. It is beautiful and remote - my dog and I would come again!

This place was beautiful!
My spouce and i stayed just 1 night at Bolo Club on a little camping road trip in mid July. They had great soft grassy areas to pitch our tent right next to spring fed creek.
Miles of trails for hiking or horseback riding. They had many sites for trailer and rv hookups.
The bath house was amazing. After 3 days of back country camping this was the oasis we needed. Hot showers and flushing toilets. They had ice available for purchase and even offered to let us pick veggies from their lush garden to add to our dishes.
This place is a star gazers dream. There are a few big open fields with little to no light polution from surrounding towns. This was perfect and we could clearly see the commet NEOWISE just after sunset untill about 9:30pm. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I would love to go back when i could have more time to explore the miles of trails.

The Bolo Club was our last stop on a COVID19 conscious camping trip and it was perfect! The super nice, cedar wood bathrooms were impressive and a haven since we hadn’t showered in three days haha. The amenities with the primitive camping style was the perfect combo for us. Our dog was able to run around and play in the creek. We tent camped by the RVs but were only one of two tenants so had a big fire ring to ourselves. The star gazing alone would make us return to the Bolo Club. We camp often but nothing has compared to that. Even spotted the Neowise comet which was literally once in a lifetime opportunity. We slept to the sound of insects and the babbling creek. The creek is clear and rocky, not murky and muddy. Super cold but was great to wade and play with our dog in. Host was super friendly and helpful, so was Django the heeler. Django even put up with our young heeler mix trying to play. Definitely recommend!

I am now the Bolo Club's biggest fan. I will definitely be coming back, and I live in CA so that is really saying something. The facilities are so charming and the amenities are plenty. We had the place to ourselves and loved every single minute.

We stayed at the Bolo Club with our two kids and it was the perfect place for an easy weekend of camping. The bathrooms are very well kept and easy to access. There is a nearby creek for kids to play in and plenty of hikes on the property. Plus the hosts were very hospitable. We will definitely be back!

Pretty sure we were the only tent campers and the only ones who didn’t bring horses, but we didn’t mind. So cool to be around so many horses. We took a freezing cold dip in the creek and ate salmon and kabobs around the fire. Everyone was incredibly nice and the place was super clean.

We loved our stay at The Bolo Club, and we wished we could have stayed longer! Mary, Charlie, and Steve were all so kind and helpful. The property is absolutely beautiful and there are so many things to do here! They specialize in people traveling with horses, but you don't have to have a horse to enjoy all the amenities. The Bolo Club is on around 4000 acres of land and there are 10 trails you can hike or ride your horse. They have horses, cows, ducks, chickens, dogs, and guineas. You can also kayak the creek that's on the property. There is limited wifi and cell service, but who needs it?! There's so much to do! There is also a bathhouse that is clean. There are 45 camp sites and many of them have RV hookups. You can do primitive camping on the property as well.

We spent five days at The Bolo Club and loved it! There were so many helpful amenities like a fully stocked kitchen, indoor and outdoor seating, and clean bathrooms (with AC!). We were so comfortable that we felt like we were camping out on the front lawn of our own home.
The Bolo Club is pretty far away from anything, but there was still a surprising number of things to do. The hosts maintain several hiking trails throughout the property (you can purchase horse rides too). We hiked every day and were still unable to see it all. One trail took us through a corn field that was full of wild turkeys and white tailed deer. Another took us up a stream and to a large cave. When we weren't hiking, watching the farm animals, or working online using the FREE wifi, we went out for drives.
We took the 10 minute drive to the local restaurant where I had one of the best baked potatoes I have ever eaten (I'm from IDAHO!). Another 15 minutes took us to the historic town of Sherwood and another 15 to a state park and the beautiful University of the South. We even took a day trip to Chattanooga which was well worth the 1hr drive.
The hosts were very kind and checked in on us each day. I hope our journey will take us back to Tennessee so that we can stay at The Bolo Club again.
