19 sites · RVs, Tents · Knoxville, TN
Low Meadow Farms (formerly Brown Bike Farms) is a serene four-acre meadow bordered by Burnett Creek. The campground is an easy distance to Downtown Knoxville and an even easier access to all that South Knox's Urban Wilderness has to offer. It uniquely offers a hint of backcountry camping without the 25-mile hike in. It is a great way to test the waters for primitive camping or an easy stop close to the city for a seasoned traveler. It is best suited for car camping, RVs, tent, and hammock camping. There are fire pits and picnic tables at each site with enough room for tents and RVs. Most sites have trees suitable for hammock camping all along the creek. There is potable water, firewood for sale, solar showers, and a bike wash stand all next to the covered communal area. Each standard site can accommodate 2 people to keep space between groups and lessen the impact on the land. Sites 10 and 13 can each accommodate 6 guests. If you have more in your group, we recommend reserving an adjoining campsite. Sites 1, 2 and 3 are off the main path to the left of the property, and still by the creek. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all along the creek and gravel drive Site 10 is very private with creek access on three sides. Site 11 is private with creek access all along the front. Site 12 is up high on a hill, and Site 13 is open in the middle of the meadow.

My grandparents, Donald Clayton Russell & Jewel Geneva (Davis) Russell, purchased this little piece of heaven to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cincinnati life. Judy was born in a little cabin just down the road. Judy & Don along with many family members have made cherished memories here over the years. We want to share its beauty with you and your family. Please consider, Clayton Geneva is a primitive campground, gravel drives and left as natural as possible. This is not a sculpted campsite or a concrete campground. The primitive area is as such, gravel, grass, sand terrain accessible by a one lane gravel drive that leads over the hill and around the cliff to the riverbank. This drive is absolutely passable however is left bumpy to keep traffic at a safe speed as pedestrians also walk the drive. It is passable by any vehicle as long as the vehicle is not overloaded beyond its ability and/or has an extremely low profile. Any area that is not an actual campsite is left to nature, not manicured, trimmed or sculpted. As you’ll find all the sites are clear please don’t expect micromanaging of wild growth of our native plants in areas around the sites as we reserve those areas for the wildlife to enjoy. Please consider all the above mentioned details, primitive campsites are not for everyone and that’s ok.

150 acres of raw, peaceful beauty tucked in the Appalachian foothills—just 20 minutes off I-75 near Corbin in southeast Kentucky, but a world away. Gray Hills is a primitive escape for families, friends, and solo wanderers alike—designed to quiet the chaos, steady the soul, and focus on what truly counts. Our sites are surrounded by rolling hills, quiet woods, and big skies. Choose your experience: Pondside – Camp by the water where frogs sing at dusk and mist rises at dawn. Ideal for fishing, relaxing, or spotting wildlife. Bring your own kayak or rent one on site (availability varies). Hilltop – Secluded, breezy, and wide-open, with stunning sunrise and sunset views. Feels like the edge of the world. All sites are primitive—no hookups, no concrete, just fire pits, natural trails, and the kind of peace that gets into your soul. Our dirt roads are a little bumpy to keep speeds safe. The campsites, trails, and key spots are kept cleared—the rest stays wild for the deer, turkey, and everything else that lives here (yes, bugs too—bring your repellent!). A nearby train also runs on its own schedule—it’s part of the holler charm. If you love it rugged, real, and peaceful, join us at Gray Hills where you can breathe deep and stay wild!

This secluded spot on a private drive is a perfect little getaway location. You have lake view and lake access by foot. Vehicles can be parked on the 25 ft stretch of grass pad above the campsite, or pulled down the hill … (please note the word HILL) onto site at vehicle owners' discretion. Fire pit is on premise and ready for use with a walking trail to the water. Kayaks are available for rental to navigate Cherokee Lake. Trees surround you full of wild rabbits, birds and squirrels. Down at the water about 50 ft from your site you have the availability to fish, wade in the water, Kayak, or sit and watch the ducks, geese, turtles and more. This is a private drive but has four sites so please respect other tenants who have come to enjoy seclusion and serenity during their stay. We are in a rural area about 22 minutes from main town. However, there are restaurants, a Blue Bell ice cream parlor, a grocery store and post office all within 8 minutes. We are 12 minutes from one of the best Disc Golf courses, 25 minutes from Parks/trails/waterfalls, and only about an hour from major tourist sites in Sevierville/Pigeon Forge/ Gatlinburg/ Knoxville/Bristol Speedway. You will have solitude during your stay but opportunities for communication and aid from the host is available. The site can be busier during holiday breaks as this is OFF a main road and is on Cherokee lake so noise echos on the water, and there may be other renters checking in other units just a heads up.

We had a good experience camping at Old Stump. The road was definitely a little nerve racking, but Amber had warned us about it and our minivan did fine getting there. Extra signs would be helpful, especially to help figure out the camp sites, but the spot by the river itself was lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay at Patrick's place. We just wanted a place to park at night, and he offered exactly that. but he has more options if necessary.

After having some difficulties with other campsites on Hipcamp, Gavin’s campsite was a lovely little haven. The campsite was private and perfect. Gavin is one of the most considerate and generous hosts I’ve experienced.. Not even 10 minutes had passed and Gavin was already driving down to us to introduce himself and provide us wood for the evening. Great location near Cumberland Falls! Highly recommend.

The cave sight was a very cool experience, not to bad to access, and very peaceful. The kids thought it was the coolest thing ever. I recommend it to anyone looking to just get away and disconnect for a while.

Beautiful, serene place with friendly hosts. Great place to camp or "glamp it", like we did, by staying in a cabin. Its off the beaten path but still within reasonable drive of a city. Will definitely return

Gavins farm provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The location was so close to the lake, making it easy to enjoy the water, if you dont mind a devent hike. It was a private location, which was great for peace and quiet, and the host was super friendly and helpful. Overall, it was an awesome experience, and we can't wait to go back!

For starters the host were fantastic. Angelica and Mr Patrick are good folks, friendly and very attentive to there guest needs. The campground is beautiful and has great facilities. You can certainly see that they have poured there heart & soul into making this place special. We had a blast on the 14 mile paddle trip down the river to Cumberland Falls State Park and the beautiful waterfall down the road. There are several fantastic little cabins to stay in or tent camp. I would definitely recommend Patrick's Point River Camp to anyone visiting the area. We will be back again. Thank you for the hospitality and God bless.

Me and my wife enjoy tent camping. The host Amber went out of her way to accommodated us when the landing directly on the river, which we chose, had taken on rain for days and muddy. So the great host she was repositioned our site on a higher, dryer site. The host was available for all requests. The site was peaceful and just what we wanted. We will return. Thanks

The camp site is great and very clean. The no beer was kinda of a bummer. It’s always nice to have a cold beer while you are fishing but totally understand they want to keep it a family camp not a party house. But recommend for family’s with small children.

Camping in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park guide

Overview

About

You can stand in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia at once here. (Or at least jump back and forth between them!) Drive up and take a walk up to Pinnacle Point to enjoy stunning views, especially if you come in the fall to see the changing foliage. Sunrise is also spectacular, but check to make sure the park gates will be open before you get up early. Everything is very handicapped-accessible.

Rangers are friendly, helpful and full of information. Check out the short movies at the Visitor's Center to learn about the area and its importance to our nation's history. It's all very kid-friendly—they'll probably enjoy seeing the banjos and dulcimers at the Visitor Center, and then walk away wanting to be like Daniel Boone. (Raccoon cap optional...maybe.)

You can find plenty of short trails to hike through the area. Pick up a trail book at the Visitor Center, or ask the Rangers for help. The hike to the Tri-State Peak is pretty easy. The Daniel Boone hike is a little more challenging, though it's only steep for about a quarter mile.

When you're looking for a place to stay in the Appalachian Mountains, Hipcamp has you covered. Pitch your tent along the Cumberland River or in a meadow where you'll find deer grazing in the morning. Check out studio apartments, primitive shelters, and cozy cabins, all available from Hipcamp.
