Mr. Marks camp site was super cool definitely will be going back lots of quiet free roam space to enjoy wish we would have stayed a week didn’t have enough time to explore everything… Mark was super gracious to us the whole time helping out with all our needs… For our fam it was a much needed communal get away to get grounded from our normal life’s would recommend to anyone one that is respectful to and embraces all of the qualities of solitude and nature and enjoys the ambiance of the Appalachia mountains thanks again Mr. Mark was a good weekend for us

Carney creek site
Mark’s property was the perfect camping spot! He gave easy to follow directions. Mark met us at arrival and pointed out a level place for the camper with the babbling creek right beside us. He led us on a short walk to his “secret” swimming hole and told us about other hikes we could take to nearby waterfalls! We didn’t expect these fun adventures nor expected to make a new friend in Mark! He was the best host and had everything prepared for our stay with clean water for washing and drinking, a convenient and clean outhouse, a large garbage can, plenty of firewood, two fire rings, and a picnic table right next to the creek! And I must mention our kids’ favorite part was walking to Mark’s snack shack after their hike to buy a cold slushee ice pop!

Mark's camping spot is hands down the best place we've ever camped. He went above and beyond that truly made our time there perfect. I highly recommend getting some of his fresh eggs, they were delicious!! If you're looking for a private escape this place has a lot of it. If you need help, Mark will be right there for you. He's extremely helpful. The authentic outhouse is even spotless. You can tell he puts effort in making sure his guests are comfortable. Spread the word, this is a beautiful place.

My fiancée and I booked the site for a short get away over spring break. The area is absolutely beautiful. The campsite sits in back by a little creek and is very peaceful. Mark is a fantastic host and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was the best it could be. I strongly recommend stopping by their roadside store in the front to get some of the fresh eggs and honey (and other items) they put out. There are also several swimming/fishing holes along the main creek that we will definitely come back and try when the weather is a little warmer.

Mark's campsite was perfect.
The little creek, the swimming hole, the quiet, the firewood. All made for a superb campsite.
There's a large work table for cooking and organizing gear if you need to. There's plenty of firewood stacked. The creekside campsite is nice and flat and easy to camp with a tent.
The roads up to the site was scenic and the fire road next to the site was fun.
Mark is a friendly and helpful fellow, he'll talk for hours if you need it and he'll disappear into the night after giving you the rundown if you don't.
I would camp here to relax and we couldn't ask for a better site.

This was a great location with a really welcoming host. Mark was very responsive as we planned a trip for a weekend group campout, and checked in during our stay to make sure we had what we needed. He even came down to the road after dark to help late arrivals get to the campsite after dark.
The camp sites are private and spacious. Mark had drinking and washing water supplied, lots of firewood, and a clean outhouse. There are opportunities to do some hiking and some off-roading nearby.
Definitely recommend!

We had a great time on Marks land this weekend. The land was well kept, felt secluded and was just a short walk to a large clear creek. Mark was even kind enough to leave us lots of clean drinking water, plenty of firewood, and a clean outhouse. We especially enjoyed a small shop with plenty of snacks, drinks, ice cream, and ice for no up charge. There was also free fast wifi at the shack which was very close to the site.

Mark was an OUTSTANDING host. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. If you're rollin' through Tennessee, this spot is a MUST see. The land was gorgeous, and remote. I really felt like I was in mountain paradise. In the morning, I waded in the crystal clear creek, and got on my way. Mark and I chatted cordially on the way out, and I'm glad to have his acquaintance. Don't miss out on this one y'all!

Carney creek site
Mark was incredibly kind and very reasonable to communicate with whenever we needed anything. The camp sites on his property are new and are still being built up and improved day by day. A great piece of property to have these sites on! We felt it was very private and peaceful since we were the only ones camping at the time(cannot comment on distance between possible sites as it’s just being newly set up.) Mark, the host, was extremely accommodating after a different HipCamp had put us in a real bind and left us without a camp site. The outhouse was nice, well built and dry(no mold, no bugs, no smells) and is a compost toilet. Wi-Fi available down the path. There is one small area currently for hammocks(although more hammock sites may be cleared in the future) that worked well for us. The creek is nearby and across the way is an area where you can take a dip. Plenty of potable well water available to fill our 5gallon water jug. We found it was 2WD accessible but our car is low so it was definitely a bit tricky at times! Public roads leading up to property are a little rough, partially broken pavement and partially dirt. 4WD definitely recommended! The host gave clear directions(definitely want to follow them instead of Google maps.) The farm stand is a real nice touch, too!

Trip to Mark's was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. It was nice and quiet and relaxing. They started a homestead during Covid, and are just getting their camp established.
They're super accommodating, and i'm sure this space will only improve over time. There are a couple of sites spread around an open field, perfect for couples or a group of campers. We took the creek site which was peaceful, you'll see it's across from a gravel road but it's little travelled.
This is a perfect place for stargazing if you get a clear evening.
There is a clean outhouse, water and firewood is provided. Mark also has ice and farm fresh eggs for sale and is in the process of building out a more complete farmstand.
Campground is about 100 yards from a larger stream which has a couple of great swimming holes, and is also stocked with Trout!
If we're in the area again we would definitely stay here again.
