We have regular yard maintenance, however, we are Country natural landscape, not parking lot type campground, so the grass is slightly higher in some small areas but truly those things are part of a sustainable and uniquely beautiful camping experience!

My parents bought the 120 acre property in the 1960s. I started clearing and building the campsite in 2019. Watch the sun rise on one side of Troublesome Gap and watch it set on the other side.  There is a circle drive for 2 teardrop / squaredrop or pop up campers and plenty of spots to pitch tents.   There are also great spots to hang your hammock.   Camp where my family camps.  My parents bought the property in the 1960s and we have camped up here, hiked, hunted, and cut firewood many weekends.  We decided to share the property so you can enjoy camping up here too! The property is in a remote location where you can enjoy the wildlife and the cooler temps in the summer.  You'll have 3 acres all to yourself.  The closest grocery store is an hour away but the Trust General Store with a restaurant and gas approximately is 7 miles away.  There is also a burger joint (Dave's 209) on the way to the Trust General Store.   This camping site is in a remote area and the nearest neighbor about 1/2 mile away.  Max Patch is about 25 minutes away and features beautiful hiking. The quaint town of Marshall is about 30 minutes away.  Asheville is about an hour away. The campsite is easily accessible from Baltimore Branch Road.  However Baltimore Brand Road (public road) is steep in places and we don't recommend an RV bigger than a popup camper.   If you are pulling a trailer you'll really want to consider having 4wd. If you aren't used to driving on steep dirt mountain roads, you may want to bring your 4wd vehicle. If you have a 2wd vehicle, then you'll want to come to the site via Big Pine Road. This route will take you through Walnut, NC We also provide a porta-a-john for your convenience. This is a campsite where have the whole 3.5 acre property to yourself. You are surrounded by properties that vary from 40 acres to over a hundred acres. We just want you to have a great time and bring home great stories. It seems like every visitor to Troublesome Gap has a great story. Come camp with us and build your own story. Important Note: Water is only available on the site from Memorial Day through Labor Day, Otherwise you'll need to bring your own water. There is a camera on the property. It faces the gate (and away from the campsite).

Enjoy sunrise and sunset views for much of the year, along with frequent sightings of deer, turkeys, Canadian geese, and mallard ducks—despite being just minutes from the city. The campground borders an active railroad line. While trains pass only 1–2 times a day, they have no reason to sound their horns. Please do not approach the tracks as there are no fences, and trespassing is strictly prohibited. Each site includes a 12' x 12' raised tent deck with 1/4" board gaps for securing stakes. Parking for one vehicle is available at each site, with overflow parking just a few hundred feet away. A large fire ring with stump seating is provided at each site. Amenities include a portable toilet, a central water hydrant, safety lighting, and clearly marked parking and campsite areas to help with nighttime navigation. In May and June, fireflies light up the trees and meadow. On clear nights, the train embankment blocks city lights, revealing a brilliant night sky. A historic cemetery dating to before the American Revolution is also located on the property. We are in Tennessee, and poison ivy is present—please learn to identify and avoid it. Our family is allergic and actively working to remove it from the grounds.

Weekend Trip to Paint Rock Farm Glamping

On a recent trip, we were blown away by this place. The mountain views were absolutely extraordinary, the bathrooms were impeccably clean, and the kitchen and gathering areas were fully stocked with everything we needed. The cabin had a comfortable bed and seating area. The attention to detail truly made the experience feel special. 10/10 recommend!

This is a very complete little campground. The shower house provides shower, flush toilet, laundry facilities and work space. There's an outdoor kitchen, too. I thoroughly enjoyed camping here.

Creekside Hideaway at Clover Branch Camp made for a perfect weekend of camping. The site was secluded and very private. Our dog and two small children had plenty of room to play.

Weekend Trip to Quiet Troublesome Gap

Tent camping at Troublesome Gap was a delight. The camp site is well-maintained, the facilities are clean, and it was indeed a quiet, solitary stay. You can hear very infrequent road noise from time to time, usually just locals on ATVs who spare a friendly wave. We felt safe the whole time we were there. Dogs barking down the road a ways was a spooky sound to behold in the middle of the night but otherwise it was a quiet, very fun stay. All of the info provided by the host ahead of time was very thoughtful and helpful. We will definitely visit Montie’s place again! Thanks for the fun memories!

Great place and attentive host.

Great location. We had the property to ourselves but felt safe and tucked in each night. Laura was a great communicator throughout planning/staying. Fireside was big enough to maneuver our tow vehicle. WiFi power and water just what we needed. The showers/common space were great and reminded me of a summer camp cabin. The stream was a perfect backdrop. Highly recommend!

Amazing place! Hands down one of my favorite places I’ve been on hip camp! Beautiful and right by the water. I will definitely go there again!

Weekend Trip to East Tennessee Hilltop Campsite

Absolutely loved the privacy, extra amenities, picturesque views, & that my dogs could enjoy the freedom as much as I did.

Weekend Trip to 3feather Sanctuary

We had a great experience at 3 Feathers Campsite, largely thanks to the owner. From the start, they were incredibly communicative—quick to respond, clear with directions and expectations, and genuinely helpful with any questions we had. That kind of attentiveness really sets the tone for a smooth, enjoyable stay. Another standout was the bathrooms. They were clean, well-kept, and honestly much nicer than you’d expect at a campsite. It made a big difference in overall comfort.

1 night at Steele Haven

This was a very nice piece of property. It’s clean, secluded from the road. I know many reviews mention the train track's near the property. I knew this when I booked my site. So this was not a surprise. I stayed in site 1 which is furthest from the tracks. Two trains passed while I was there for about 12 hours. One late afternoon shortly after I arrived and then later that evening. They were short freight (vs miles long) trains. And were as quiet as trains can be. Once the 2nd one passed, I fell back to sleep and slept the rest of the night. Other than that, the experience was very pleasant. The camp sites were marked well. Had lovely tree canopy with a nice view of the field below.

Easy to find and close to Hot Springs NC. The place was beautiful, quiet and had more than enough amenities. We backpack and camp tons and this was a great find and we are eager to return, highly recommended.

Weekend Trip to Inner Wolf Retreat Space

This is a beautiful space. There was plenty of room. There was a kitchen available which was nice to use on a rainy night. I highly recommend staying with Dawn.

Wildflowers are the best decorative flair.

Weekend Trip to Paint Rock Farm Glamping

Such a wonderful place to stay while enjoying a small slice of the AT. The kitchen has everything one needs to prep meals and two fridge/freezers. The bath house was much appreciated. Everyone we met was so friendly. It was lovely to wake up to see the trees and mountains. Loved the trails on the property, especially the lookout point. If I’m ever back in this area, this is where I’ll stay.

Weekend Trip to Creek side

We had a delightful stay at Creekside! Loved our site right beside the creek (all three are), and though we were the only tenters this cool, damp weekend, even if the other two sites were occupied there’s nice space between. Nice big stone fire rings and a permanent grill grate beside the picnic table. Porta-pot was clean and stocked. About 22 minute drive from Hot Springs. Will choose Creekside again whenever we’re nearby!

Weekend Trip to Sunset Ridge in the Smoky Mountains

Though listed as a primarily RV site, we tent camped. The grass was cut low so we had no problem setting up. The views are incredible and the area is very quiet. The road behind the site has almost no traffic because there are only a couple more houses up the road. John and Jenni were great and, it turns out, own another site we stayed at last year! Sit by the fire, watch the mists roll in and out, and enjoy the long-range views!

Weekend Trip to Steele Haven

They really did a sweet job here with the wooded area they have. I enjoyed the train that came through beside the hipcamp. Nice wooden decked tent platforms with metal fire rings. Port-a-potty and water spigot available. Was perfect for a one night get away. Quick drive for restaurants, etc..

Lovely find - quiet, low key, and off the beaten path! A beautiful creek meanders through the property, and Laura was extremely responsive in the messaging app. Would absolutely stay again!

5 nights at Wickerd Farm

I dont know where to start on how wonderful my trip was. I arrived and Mark helped me set up my tent (I was there alone with my three dogs) and also helped me set up a run line for them. Dogs are allowed off leash so I took advantage of that too. There is endless space to explore and its quiet and private and beautiful. There is endless miles of creek to explore and one spot is great for swimming (dogs and people). The water is crystal clear. The views from the field at sunrise and sunset are breathtaking, and Mark and his wife go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have what you need. They even gave me five more gallons of drinking water. The bathroom is also super clean too. I spent an entire day sitting by that swimming hole with my dogs alternating between drawing, reading, and swimming with the dogs. For almost a week I felt my stress melt away and didnt have an ounce of anxiety and was so happy and relaxed. I will 100% be back here again and again.

Andrew Johnson National Historic Site camping guide

Overview

About

President Andrew Johnson had a tough act to follow. His presidency was born out of tragedy following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. His home and tailor shop, dating back to 1826, gives you some perspective on Johnson's political career during one of the most tumultuous times in American history. As president, Johnson helped enact reforms throughout the country as the nation healed from the Civil War.

The Johnson homestead on Main Street in Greeneville, Tennessee. It showcases many original furnishings dating back to the mid-1800s. There's also graffiti left by soldiers when Johnson was away serving as governor of Tennessee. Daily guided tours and people in period costume bring the home to life as if you're living in the 1830s or 1840s. Seasonal decorations make this place truly special.

The president's tailor shop in town is where Johnson got a feel for politics. He debated policies and talking points with people who came into the shop. Even without a formal education, the future president was a skilled debater. Those skills got him the Vice Presidency of the United States for Abraham Lincoln's short-lived second term in 1865.

The beautiful red-brick buildings are beautiful to behold. Several nearby campsites let you explore this town that time forgot. At 15,000 people, Greeneville has a small-town charm with a slight city feel.

The surrounding Unaka Mountains are a natural paradise to explore by car and on foot while you're in the area. Scenic overlooks and hiking trails dot the landscape for many Instagram-worthy photos. Don't miss the Appalachian Mountains. They're just a short drive south to the North Carolina border.
