1 night at Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

We had a great time! Area was clean and quiet with enough room for our kids to run and play. Very close driving distance to everything in the park. Will for sure visit again!

3 nights at Covenant View Camp and Retreat

Fantastic hosts that were friendly, helpful and have a great camping location halfway between Lookout Mountain and Cloudland Canyon. The RV was clean, in good working condition and with fantastic views of the mountains with Covenant College at the top. Lots of space to explore and they had Kayaks and bikes for use. Other campsites with tents set up and plenty of firewood. Looking forward to my next visit.

6 nights at River Life RV Resort

A wonderful place. The hosts were kind and even stared local swimming hole secrets. I highly recomend staying here.

1 night at The Ole Place

Very nice camping area. The site was large, private and clean. We were just passing through, but would love to return and explore the area.

1 night at Covenant View Camp and Retreat

I arrived late and Robbie was so helpful in getting me situated and making sure I had a fire. Beautiful spot and a quiet morning with deer grazing nearby. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

Site 1 was great because it was away from the road and semi secluded away from other sites. I loved the wooden structure for shade and protection from rain. Having a portable potty on site and water from the hose at the Trading post was very convenient too! Being so close to the park was awesome! The man at the Trading Post was very nice and friendly and loaded firewood into the back of my car for me! The only downside to the campground is how close the sites are to each other.

Weekend Trip to Greeter Falls Campground

We stayed in yurt #21 during our weekend visit and we loved it. The area was nice and clean including the bathrooms. The only negative would be that the yurts are too close together and if you get some loud neighbors like we did on our last night then it can get annoying 😑 but overall we enjoyed our stay😊

3 nights at Covenant View Camp and Retreat

It was absolutely breathtaking! Robert, the host, was absolutely over-the-top inviting and welcoming to me! So was his wife Tina! Shortly after arriving, they came by to check on me and make sure everything was ok. Shortly, after that, he brought me back plenty of firewood for the weekend! The view will absolutely take your breath away! There is a huge meadow/field in front of you and just beyond that,outstanding views of Lookout Mountain and Covenant College tower, at the very top. Right behind me, where I pitched my tent…there was a wandering creek, maybe 25 feet or so away. During the hottest part of the day, I literally took my camp chair and placed it in the middle of the creek because, the creek was covered with the canopy from the trees. I fell asleep, while reading a book, in my camp chair, in the middle of the creek! No need to worry, though the creek at its deepest point, was only a foot deep. Most of it was only about 3 to 4 inches deep. I also had the awesome experience of a firework show on July 4th and I didn’t even have to leave camp. There is a path that is cut by Robert, that runs from where you put your tent at near the four fire pits. It runs from the tent area across the field, to where the porta potty is. Well, halfway between the fire pit and the porta potty, there’s a huge opening and there was a firework show. I don’t know if it was in town somewhere or, was it a resident doing it, but it was ALL amazing! I saw numerous deer, hawks, and rabbits! GO !!

Weekend Trip to A Secluded Mountain Getaway

We loved our stay on Jerry's land. He greeted us at entrance of the road which was very helpful. Gave us a map of the land and some recommendations. We were his first guests so he checked in to make sure everything was alright. He helped us with the lights on the gazebo and asked multiple times if we had everything. Super nice guy. We loved having our dogs off leash and his place was close to cloudland canyon which was the main reason we came here. Close proximity to many hikes and waterfalls. We camped at the field which receives full sun. The gazebo is a short walk with a creek and the fire pit that we used. Overall great stay.

Weekend Trip to Covenant View Camp and Retreat

We enjoyed our brief overnight here. We tried the tire swing and enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit watching the lightning bugs. Our hosts were very communicative and welcomed us on our arrival. The directions to the site were easy to understand. Tent was clean and set up! We shared our toilet/shower area with another family, and it was no problem - all went smoothly and there were no interruptions to our evening or morning. We walked along the path leading around the property. We were just traveling through, but we would recommend this site to others - there’s a lot to do in the area and this site is beautiful!

Weekend Trip to Greeter Falls Campground

A wonderful, clean, and cozy place surrounded by nature. The host was 10/10, very kind in every way. We will definitely return to this place.

1 night at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

We had an amazing stay! We cannot say enough good things about the warm welcome and hospitality we received. Our site was absolutely peaceful and beautiful. Hearing the waterfall at night, mixed with seeing all the fireflies, was magical. We will definitely be back!

3 nights at The Falls at Sewanee Creek

I loved every aspect of the Millers area! We stayed in the eco container but I truly can’t wait to go back and try some of the other unique and one of a kind spaces he built in other areas of their property! We also did the welding class and walked away with a truly special piece of art. 10/10 recommend!!!

1 night at Fall Creek Falls Indian Campground

Stayed in site one nice little place of course I loved the little shelter on site one.left a little Easter egg there not much but enjoy the hunt And leave a little something for the next person.

1 night at Running Water Creek

Running Water Creek Campground was a perfect spot to cool off in the shade for a few days. Tom was a great host and has done a lot of work on the property to keep it from disappearing into the forest. Walked a few trails and my dog and I enjoyed the locals dogs keeping us company. I read the reviews and was prepared for the location, tbh it was a perfect boondock spot for my Skoolie! Will visit again as a safe spot on my way through the area. Thank you again Tom for your hospitality and beautiful spot. K

Weekend Trip to The Ole Place

What a treasure of a place! We loved the rain on the tin roof as much as we loved the sunshine on the dock. Loved all the cozy furnishings, the endless firewood and the deer and red fox visits! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to The Private Reserve Cabin + RV Pad

We stayed at the cabin for two nights and really enjoyed it. It’s small and quaint, but very functional and comfortable. It had pretty much everything we needed, which was great in case we forgot to pack anything. The central heat and air were a nice surprise and made the space feel just right. The hot tub was definitely a plus—perfect for winding down in the evening. Even though the cabin is in a small town, there are still things to do nearby. Foster Falls is only about 15 minutes away and a great spot to get outside and enjoy nature. Overall, a peaceful and easy place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Magnolia Campground at Hixson Farms

My husband and I tent camped with our two daughters at Magnolia Farms. We loved the animals and being able to visit with them so much! They are all very sweet, if a bit inquisitive, and very interested in any food we had :)

Unique in all the world. I’m not aware of anything like it, although I’m sure there will be copies. This is the original.

Weekend Trip to The Falls at Sewanee Creek

Our camping getaway was just what we needed at the Treetent campsite! The directions take you to Grant's house to get check in. He was so kind and welcoming! He led us to our site, and gave us great information and tips to enjoy our stay. Our tent was roomy, clean, and dry. The area had received some rain recently, and he made certain that everything was in order for us. We had some shared shower facilities with the site across from us. The guests at that site did not impact our stay at all. The creek was beautiful and the sound lulled us to sleep. We had a fire pit as well as a BBQ grill for cooking. Our sitting area was covered and shaded beneath the treetent. We walked less than 10 minutes following the creek to Miller's Falls which was beautiful! We also caught the sunset at the fairy trees. The mist filled the woods quickly after sunset. Checkout was quick and easy! We plan on camping here again!

The Falls at Sewanee Creek

11 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents45 acres · Tracy City, TN

45 private acres on our homestead for you to roam. Seven eclectic sites to choose from ranging from primitive camping to a lovely log cabin. All except the log cabin lovingly built by the owner, loaded with creative touches. Featuring: * Two gorgeous waterfalls. Each of our stay-sites are located within about 100-150 yards of Fifty-foot tall Miller’s Falls. * A large cave at the end of a short, but rugged hike. * A fairy Village filled with Hollow Oak Tree Fairy homes. The trees glow after dark. Magical. * Three acres for group camping centered on a well-equipped, covered outdoor kitchen. * Peaceful Meditation Retreats at the Outdoor Kitchen under brain-wave enhancing satellite dishes. * Certified Hypnotherapy Disclaimer: The flow of the waterfall is subject to fluctuations in temperature, seasonal droughts, & rain fall. The most favorable seasons for waterfall flow are fall, winter & early spring. We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, homesteading eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named for the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one. I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently. I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.

Running Water Creek

23 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents120 acres · Guild, TN

Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid. Some info about the property: -we DO NOT have water or power hookups -we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough) -we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by) -none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly) -most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own

Elk Head Overlook

4 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Pelham, TN

**Please note the address is 9665 SR 50, Pelham, TN 37301** The best part about this site are the views! Relax on the side of the Cumberland Plateau while overlooking Burroughs Cove and the Elk River. You can see the sites from the main road, if you find yourself on a gravel road for more than 50ft, STOP and verify the address. Sites 1/2 are hard graveled, heavy duty tent stakes are recommended along with mats/padding. There is an electrical box at each end of the hard graveled parking and tent areas (Sites 1 and 2) with 20- and 30-amp plugs, plus 110v. If the power is not working, please check the panel and turn on/reset the breakers, many of our guests turn them off when departing. If you are at Site #2 and the steps above do not work, please check/do the same at the Site #1 panel (it is the master power source). Water is NOT available on site. NOTE: Depending on the time of year (warmer months only) a water container with a limited amount of NON-POTABLE water is on site for your use. Please plan on filling your water reservoir(s) PRIOR to arriving. There is an outhouse for all guests, picnic tables and fire rings for Sites 1 and 2. The camping area is fairly close to SR-50 so please expect to hear some road noise, more so in the winter months. The entrance/driveway is on a small incline, if you are traveling in a light vehicle and a heavy camper, it's best to maintain a slow and steady speed to the camp site (for almost everyone, this is not an issue). If you are towing a camper, we recommend the total length of the vehicle and the trailer not exceeding 30ft, longer set ups can (and have been used) without issue. However, there is not a significant place to "turn around" at the sites and novice drivers (not used to backing out of tight spots with long rigs) may find this very challenging. There is a double gate that is usually closed, and latched so it stays closed, it is not "locked". The site is self-serve (not manned), Site #1 is to the left, Site #2 is to the right, and Site #3 is down the path past the outhouse at the bottom of the path. It is recommended that campers set up early for Site 3 (still daylight) to get an idea of the layout. Parking for Site #3 is by the shed at the main entrance and power is not available at the site.
