Opening March 1 for the 2025 camping season! Three years ago our multi-generational family decided to go on an adventure. We had talked about moving to the woods for years, but finally decided to turn our dreams into reality. After hiking through what felt like every property for sale over 100 acres in North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, we finally found the perfect spot. Why do we call our property Whippoorwill Woods? Did you know that whippoorwills don’t nest in trees? They lay their eggs on the ground in the forest. They’re birds that love camping! As soon as we heard the whippoorwills start singing in the spring, we knew it was the perfect name. We’re so excited to share our property with campers who love nature as much as we do. We specifically set up the campsites to give as much privacy as possible. We hope you’ll come visit and soak up the bird songs, the wind in the trees, and the beautiful sunsets over the mountains. We have 20 acres of savannah grassland full of native plants and wildflowers and over 80 untouched acres full of awesome rock formations and creeks with waterfalls available for you to hike. There's a stocked fish pond for catch and release fishing and a gorgeous view overlooking the Cumberland Plateau and the Sherwood Valley. Experienced and beginner campers are welcome! We live on one side of the property, so we’re available to assist (setting up tents for the first few times is no joke!) or we’re happy to give you as much space and solitude as you need. We have three campsites available in the native savannah grassland, and one that is a "hike-in and choose your favorite spot in the woods" site. We have a porta-potty available, but if you're hiking in, you'll want to bring some WAG bags with you. If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to your visit! The Jansohn and Combs Families

Property was beautiful and had great views of the sunset! Added the firewood bundle and they brought it straight to our site. Site was primitive as described. Open site for a tent with a porta potty nearby. Kristine was so kind and helpful. She directed us to the trail on site and let us hold the baby goats! Would love to return sometime!

Had a great time at Whipperwill Woods with my friend this weekend! We were given plenty of information beforehand, had good directions to get there, then we were personally guided to our spot. The campsite was spacious enough for 2 cars, a large tent, a canopy and the firepit and the porta potty/trash was a 20 second walk away with hand sanitizer stocked inside. The view of the sunset was super nice and very scenic. There is a small bit of walking to do in the area but nothing huge. Still very pleasent. There is also small pond we drank our morning coffee by the following day and watched some tadpoles and a couple small fish. The trip was very quiet and practically completely private. One other set of camping neighbors was a minute or so walk over but plenty of tall grass separated us, so it felt like just us two. There were also some turkeys and ducks on the way in. Two super minor nitpicks. There are some very slight inclines here and there so it was a little tough getting a perfectly flat table, tent, etc set up but again, that's just nitpicking. The firewood provided (for a fee) was very smokey and didn't burn super well, so I recommend bringing your own. Otherwise I can't think of anything negative about my experience. Over all I am more than satisfied with this short trip and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great view, good privacy, and the convenience of a nearby bathroom while still camping primitive.

On arrival, the hosts were extremely inviting and so nice! The campsite itself was very spacious and pretty secluded. There was a nice little pond to fish in, a beautiful view of the sunsets, and you could see beautiful views of the valley below. There was a clean port a potty to use, a nice fire pit, and a trash can on the sight for us to use. They even invited us to come meet some baby goats, which might’ve honestly been the highlight of our trip haha. Chattanooga was about an hour drive, and Nashville was two hours, so be prepared for driving if you’re planning on doing anything outside of camping!

This was a beautiful camping spot with nice views. Kristine and her family provided us extra water and wood. There were coyotes howling in the forest during night but nothing of concern as they never approached the camping site. Kids enjoyed roaming around during the day time and we took some great pictures. The site itself was sufficiently spaced from the nearby camp and Porta was super clean.
