Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy
I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another.
Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more!
The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake.
The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. ged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains.
The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier.
Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com.
When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place!
Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever! Plan your visit: Chattooga Belle Farm is located at 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, South Carolina 29658. Information is abundant online.

The site works well for very small travel trailers, teardrops, and Class B camper vans. Large RVs, fifth wheels, and Class A motorhomes are not recommended.
A moldering compost privy is conveniently located between the gravel camping area and the start of the trail.
A private quarter-mile trail climbs approximately 260 feet through the forest to a spectacular ridge-top overlook. At the summit, you’ll enjoy breathtaking 270-degree panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. It’s the perfect place to watch sunrise, sunset, meteor showers, and the Milky Way overhead.
The property sits within one of the darkest sky regions in the Southeast, making it ideal for stargazing and astrophotography. On clear nights, thousands of stars fill the sky.
Guests may camp in the gravel area, near the trailhead, or at the summit overlook. Regardless of where you choose to set up camp, the entire property is reserved exclusively for your group.

Welcome to Salty Pines, a peaceful 14-acre getaway tucked between the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers in the quiet mountains of Turtletown, Tennessee. Nestled on the edge of a 450-acre working farm, Salty Pines sits where the wild things are — open skies, clean air, and the kind of quiet you can actually feel.
What began as a simple dream between three best friends has grown into a hand-built retreat for campers seeking space, privacy, and a true connection to the outdoors.
We’re three longtime friends from different islands who bought this land to create a place where people can unplug, breathe, and return to simple living. Every campsite, trail, and fire pit on this property was built by us—no contractors, no big companies; just hard work, good music, and a love for the outdoors.
In town for a white water rafting trip? Stay with us and receive a discounted trip at one of the largest and most established outfitters on the Ocoee River! Message us after you book your stay, and we will get you hooked up! Only 20 minutes from the property!
Want more than glamping? We've partnered with local outfitters to offer exclusive discounts to our guests! Including whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River, zip lining through the Cherokee National Forest canopy, scenic horseback rides, and mountain biking adventures! After booking send us a message and we will get you hooked up!
Enjoy our outdoor shower fed by rainwater and spring water with hot water after a long day of outdoor fun! Also have an outhouse on site. Building this property from the ground up, will have a bathhouse and showers this fall of 2026!
When you’re ready to venture off the property, you’ve got everything you need within a short drive. The Thirsty Turtle Beer Garden is just 5 minutes away, is our go-to spot for cold beer and a solid bite after a day on the river. About 10 minutes out you’ll find Tammy’s for ice cream (trust us, you’ll want it), and Kick Start for ice, fuel, and any supplies you forgot to pack.
Salty Pines hits peak season twice a year — and fall might be the better-kept secret. Sitting right where Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina meet, our 14 acres between the Ocoee and Hiwassee Rivers turn into a front-row seat for some of the best leaf-peeping in the Southeast every October. The Ocoee River Gorge and the nearby Cherohala Skyway both light up gold, red, and rust, while our off-grid yurts and tent sites give you cooler nights, quieter trails, and a fire ring that finally makes sense again. Whether you're planning a dedicated fall foliage trip or just want camping near Cherokee National Forest during peak color, Salty Pines puts you in the middle of it — not driving in for the day, but staying in it.
Contact us directly for group rates and events! :)
Sharing Salty Pines with travelers is a dream come true for us, and we’re grateful to have you here!

Coweeta Creek Campground is a charming small "boutique" campground nestled along Coweeta Creek in the heart of an Otto rural neighborhood. Each RV site is gravel, shaded, and sits along the peaceful Coweeta Creek. The campground property has a large field for games (kickball, soccer, volleyball), as well as a flat 1/4 mile loop which you can view our mini homestead farm. We have chickens (currently no rooster), bees, vegetable gardens, and a small fruit orchard. Turkey Foot Trail is a 1/2 mile trail that takes you through the wooded area to the peak of the property.
The campground is only 15 minutes from Franklin, NC and 20 minutes from Clayton, GA with plenty of shopping/restaurants. Once you are at the campground you won't want to leave the beauty of the creek!
Strong Wifi is available at all sites. Network password will be provided before arrival.
Property History: Coweeta Creek Campground WAS a 20 site, thriving, family/church oriented campground from the 1970's that was later sold, then neglected. My family purchased in 2022 and opened a few camping sites for a more family friendly, intimate setting.
*Please send us a message if you are interested in renting out the entire property for family reunions, birthdays, or other events. There is potential for 10 sites with water/electricity along the creek, but we don't advertise it!

Franklin, NC · 17 sites · Tents, RVs
Private end of road property in the Cowee Valley of Franklin NC, which is the first resupply stop along the Appalachian Trail through the Smoky Mountains. Cowee Valley is a gorgeous scenic valley with farmland and winding roads and mountains on all sides. Idyllic drive in with plenty of cows grazing, deer and wild turkey running around and amazing sunsets.
Cowee Campground has newly been made into a campground, previously undeveloped. We have left most of it undisturbed to maintain the natural and peaceful nature vibes. This land is a short distance off the main roads and small/private. All tent sites are in the shaded forest and RV hookups are just a few steps away with hardwoods filling out and providing partial shade. It's a quiet area with the sounds of nature and leaves rustling. We hope you'll appreciate and enjoy the beauty and tranquility as much as we do. If you want to car/truck camp without hookups we have space for that too. Just let us know.
We have a beautiful 4 bathroom bathhouse, with ADA shower and another bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower and private back deck. 2 large firepits with Andirondack chairs and a separate picnic table and grill area. There is a large communal Yoga/Event deck and covered Bar/Hangout area beneath - hammock, bar top, darts and it's own firepit as well. Plus Corn hole and Horseshoe pits for your enjoyment. We've just added 2 treehouses with swings, rope climb, pull-up bar, trx, cargo net and hammock - extra fun and exercise for all.
For weekly or monthly RV reservations, please contact 828-371-8471. Weekly RV rates are $325.00 and Monthly are $750.00 Also available for Retreat or Event rental.

I loved camping at the Brass Camp. Peaceful location in close proximity to the Bath House and Camp Store. Even on the high ground you can still hear the sounds of the Nantahala River. Be sure to spend some time walking around the Farm visiting all the animals.

4 nights at Cowee (Kawiyi Deer Clan) Campground
Tanya’s campsite was beautiful and had everything you needed to have a great camping trip! Very peaceful and especially loved the views from the pasture, we stayed at site 10 and had plenty of room to accommodate us, set up our hammocks and enjoyed the cows grazing! The bathhouse was excellent and was very nice to have after a long day of camping. Tanya was an amazing host, beyond accommodating and helped us with any questions we needed answered! We throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again!

We had a wonderful time camping. The host gave us all of the information we needed before the trip. We stayed at the lower site and it was perfect for our two larger tents and tables. We took the hike up to the summit and WOW what a wonderful view! We will definitely return!!

Perfect spot to get away from it all. Peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. Small stream by campsite provided soothing sounds and the chickens near the bath house were an added bonus.

Campsite was a good size - not packed in on one another. It was so relaxing getting up in the morning and listening to the creek. Saw lots of birds, and the chickens were very friendly and polite.
Melissa was very helpful, responsive, and non intrusive. A perfect host. We highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Your Toccoa River Cove!
As long as you know you are primitive camping (with an outhouse but no where to shower) then this is a great spot! On the deck there were various items including a couple chairs and a table. There were other items but I didn’t look through enough to remember what all was there. There was also a camp grill and a picnic table. The neighbors have dogs that barked a couple times but they were no bother to me. I did hear something rummaging outside my tent in the dark morning hours, I think it was a fox.
But if you’re good with primitive nature, stay here! Not a far drive to local hiking trails and morganton rec area. Thank you to the host for thorough directions!

Beautiful, serene campsite! We hiked up to the upper campsite but did not camp up there as we were taking my 5 month old on her first camping trip and it was definitely a steep climb but had beautiful views! The privy was very clean. The only thing that would be helpful is if there was a way to have a trash service or trashcan that could be used because we had to drive 30 minutes with our trash before there was a place to drop off. Would definitely stay here again!
