PLEASE READ before you book! PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT! Pool closes the second weekend of Sept. 2025 we will have a brand new pavilion in pool area! WE WILL BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION BUT IT WILL NOT INTERRUPT OUR HIPPIES STAY. We rent our pool out on weekends but if you would like to have it while you are here let us know and we will rent it to you if it's not booked. $300 all day We look forward to seeing everyone! See Lodge cast iron factory. Enjoy our small town. We're close to Rock City and the Chattanooga choo choo and other great sites in Chattanooga Tn. Enjoy our swimming pool that opens in Late May but closes on the first cold snap, usually end of Sept every fall. Many amenities such as bathhouse, free Wi-Fi, grill, corn hole game and fire pit with wood. South Pittsburg, Tn is the home of Lodge Cast iron! Every year there is a National Cornbread Festival. Bring a tent and stay with us! POSITIVES OF STAYING WITH US 1. We will treat you like family. 2. We supply firewood. 3. We supply gas for the grill. 4. The pool is yours at no charge if there is no party scheduled. 5. We have free coffee in our pool area kitchen. A small refrigerator and a microwave. 6. HOT SHOWERS!! shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels and washcloths provided. 7. Bathroom and sink 8. Back porch to relax on if you choose to. 9. Free Wi-Fi 10. Kayaking in area. 11. Hiking trails all over the Jasper Highlands! very close to us. 12. We have two horses you can pet and spend time with, but don't turn your back on the brown one! she will bite your butt! lol! (This should've been in the negatives, lol!!) Here are the NEGATIVES OF STAYING AT THE PONDEROSA 1. We have 5 German shepherds in a kennel that will welcome you upon your arrival with barking. They settle down eventually. 2. We have a nosy Monkey named Daisy Mae who watches our campers and pool parties continually. 3. We rent our pool out so it may not always be available to you when you're here and the bathroom is shared with them during your stay. 4. Our property is across the street from a scrap metal yard that opens too early.

The Beavers Dam

100% (22)
Tent site · Sleeps 5
Ahhhhh, the beaver. He's always a very busy boy. He runs (more like wobbles) from the dam in the creek behind this site to the barn and back all day. You look across the pasture and see something big and brown bee bopping and you'll know its Bob. This site is the farthest away from the bathhouse and pool area and the last one. Mostly all day there is shade and a creek just a few feet away. If its been raining you'll be able to listen to the gentle stream flowing.

The Running Deer

100% (20)
Tent site · Sleeps 5
The Running deer camp site is where you're most likely to see our back strap, I mean beautiful deer grazing. The campsite is shaded nearly all day and is one of the favorite spots for summer time. It is still relatively close to the pool and bathhouse as well. You will have your own fire pit to enjoy on an evening as the sun goes down and you'll begin to see fireflies light up the night.

The Fox Run

100% (11)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 5 · Vehicles under 35 ft
The fox run is literally that. Where the fox runs. Don't worry, so far he's been nice. This spot is a favorite in the cooler months of the year because there is sun most of the day. It is located adjacent to the pool, hot tub and bathhouse so it's in a convenient spot. Plenty of room for your tent and vehicle and includes your own fire pit.
