We have firewood for sale. Early summertime offers an amazing light show performed by thousands of lightning bugs. Portables and spring fed showers are provided within walking distance from your site.
Located just 8 miles from Chapel Hill and Henry Horton State Park, our campgrounds can be reached in under an hour from many of Middle Tennessee’s more urban areas.
We do allow early check in as long as the campsite is clear out from previous campers.
We are very strict on our speed limit on the property. It is 5 mph for a reason. Please do the requested speed.

Whether you're looking for peace, relaxation, or riverside adventure, Belle and Beau Acres hits the mark for any nature enthusiast. Location, location! BBA has taken the guess work out of rustic camping. Consistently ranked as a Best of Tennessee Hipcamp and situated in a convenient spot for Upper Cumberland waterfalls, hiking, kayaking, lake life and more. A short list of what to expect on site includes:
PRIVACY - ADVENTURE - GETAWAY
Quick response time/Clear communication
Spacious, shady, leaf-bed campsites
360 degree views of relaxing nature
27 Foot Waterfall (365 days of flow except during severe drought)
Rock shelter under Ledge Waterfall
Two shallow lazy rivers for soaking
Hiking trails onsite
Multiple spring-fed creeks
Countless water cascades for exploring
Star gazing over wide pastures
Old forests for ample shade and hammock hanging
Cellular reception at campsites (usually at least 1 bar)
Please read the site descriptions carefully to match your style of camping with the appropriate campsite. BBA guests frequently camp with a tent, vehicle, smaller camper, hammock tent, roof top tent, pop-up camper and similar styles. Most photos in this listing are taken onsite. Please keep in mind this is primitive and wild Tennessee landscape that may also contain poisonous plants and wildlife in or around camp.
Access to fresh water fun is a short down-hill hike for all guests, with the exception of our hike-in campsites which are positioned alongside the river. Each spot has been strategically selected to provide as much privacy as possible, and comfortably accommodates groups with two vehicles. We provide a rock fire pit and heavy-duty, cast-iron grill grate. You provide everything else, including drinking water and personal toilet waste bags if you plan to use our system. The hike-in sites come with extra seating. Every guest must be included on your reservation, and adult guests may be required to provide identification. Thank you!
COMMUNITY COMFORT STATION: There is a comfort station with an outdoor shower stall for hanging your own solar shower bag. The comfort station also includes a changing room which doubles as a private place to use your portable camping toilet. A toilet seat and bucket system is provided but guests will need to use their own waste disposal bags, available at most camping supply stores. The backside of the comfort station has a rain barrel (not potable) collection system for extinguishing fires.
OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS: Due to the primitive nature of our location, all reservations should expect hilly terrain and potential bumpy or some muddy road access, especially after heavy rain. We ask all guests to help us minimize impacts by driving with care. Vehicles with low ground clearance or low-profile tires are no longer permitted to use the off-road drive and must park at the entrance. If you want a campsite with the shortest walk from the entrance parking area, you will want to select campsite 5, 9 or 6. When the road is open during unusually wet periods, we recommend AWD or 4WD as a precaution. We are continuously working on improvements for our off-road drive.
Belle and Beau Acres is a farm homestead with a personal campground, conveniently located less than five minutes from I40.

Welcome to our little slice of Tennessee paradise on the beautiful Cumberland River, just east of Nashville. Less than an hour from Nashville, but feels worlds away.
Our 10-acre property features about 400 feet of Cumberland River frontage, with beautiful water views, sandy beach areas, open grassy fields, pastures, and peaceful countryside sunsets. Whether you want to relax by the river, enjoy nature, or experience farm life, Big River Camp is the perfect getaway.
We moved here to enjoy open space with rolling hills, river life, and lots of animals — and created a peaceful homestead we lovingly call our “Little Zoo.” If you’re interested in our optional Farm Tour, you’ll get to meet plenty of friendly animals during your stay — and even try milking our goats and learn how we make yogurt, cottage cheese, and homemade cheese.
Our little zoo includes
3 horses and a donkey
goats and sheep
chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese
peacocks
barn cats
and our sweet farm dogs, who help protect our livestock and poultry
All of our animals are friendly, social, and used to being around people. They’re part of the family and one of the things guests love most about staying here.
Spend your days relaxing by the beach, fishing, swimming, enjoying campfires, or exploring nearby hiking trails, parks, and small-town Tennessee adventures. At night, enjoy peaceful skies, nature sounds, and the calm of riverside camping.
Big River Camp is perfect for:
tent camping
family getaways
animal lovers
nature retreats
river adventures
relaxing weekends outside the city
We’re excited to share our peaceful homestead and riverfront with you.

As a child I grew up on the river, canoeing down Red River and even playing on this very piece of property.
Thirteen years ago my best friend and I started a canoe and kayak company to allow people to experience the same things that we experienced as children.
We have met thousands of people and had opportunities to become friends with many of them.
We look forward to seeing them every year.
Six years ago we were able to purchase this piece of property for the kayak company and watch it grow into more than we ever thought it would be.
It's almost surreal owning a piece of property that you played on as a kid.
We are very thankful to have it and share it with others, and hope that they'll have some of the same experiences that we have had on it.
Learn more about this land:
Pitch a tent or hammock (where available) next to the Red River, across the river from Port Royal State Park and adjacent to the historic Trail of Tears. You can camp along the river or out in the open. Seven minutes from the interstate (exit 8 or 11 on I-24). You can fish or swim in the river, try local restaurants in Clarksville, or just hang out and enjoy being outside.
If you want to make a reservation to go kayaking, visit the website Runamuckoutfitters.com
Also on site is a food truck called "The Dairy Dog", open April-September, where you can enjoy craft hotdogs, tater tots, pub chips, milkshakes, and beer. They are open Friday 4-8 Saturday 11-8 Sunday 11-8.

Bon Aqua Junction, TN · 3 sites
Enjoy glamping in our optional 2017 19' retro style camper with a bathroom Just 35 minutes west of Loveless Cafe' in Nashville and 20 minutes south of the Dickson exit at I40. The 48 acre campground has just 3 big tent sites for more seclusion and is almost all old forest with wide trails and huge old growth trees. There is about a 1/2 acre of field to park in between the road and the creek if you don't have an off road vehicle. The rest is woods.
Mother Nature has a lot to offer when you cross the creek into the first two campsites that are on the 30' creek. One big spring runs through the middle of the 2 sites with small cascading waterfalls. Both sites have string lights and 120V extension cords. These two sites are separated by the driveway and about 150' apart but a bridge connects the two if you have another couple that wants to join you these two spots are perfect for privacy and companionship. Expand the pictures to a full screen as you scroll so the description will show up at the bottom of the picture. Not all pictures are on the property but describe close places to visit as well.
FIREWOOD: Split wood is available upon request and sold in the area (if it's available at the time) or any fallen dead wood from the forest is free. $7.00 for a 20" bundle. Please let us know ahead of time or order it on the site.
SITE 1: The nicer of the two sites along the creek, has granite counters, a round fire pit with a fold down heavy cooking grate, charcoal grill and a large wrought iron table and chairs. RENT A CAMPER WITH SITE 1 or BRING YOUR PERSONAL CAMPER: Our retro style 2017 option on the other side of the creek with stairs and stones to cross the creek. Sometimes the walking stones get washed out. 30 amp. 240 and 120 volt plugs. Click on additional fees for camper electrical hook up.
SITE 2: Also along side the 30' creek. There is a round steel fire pit surrounded with wrought iron chairs, a separate picnic table, granite countertop work space and a small grill. 2 fairly flat areas for tents. Set your chairs in the creek in front of your site. The clear cold water is a great place to relax and cool off or watch crawfish, minnows and salamanders and the occasional blue herron. 120V and string lights. Parking is a little tight unless you're in a Jeep of more off road vehicle that can park up the hill a bit.
SITE 3: "Still Hollow" is more private and located right in the middle valley of the property where a different spring fed creek runs down the wooded valley. There is no electricity but you can still enjoy the sound of small cascading waterfalls and a creek that runs along the side of the site for a relaxing sleep. There is a granite countertop, charcoal grill and a fire ring. A small round wrought iron table and 4 chairs are there for a place to eat lunch. The old moonshine barrels are still barely standing by the spring. This site is also accessed from the opposite side of the campground on Ben Fly Rd or Greer Rd for the serious off roaders. 4 wheel drive may be necessary but a Hyundai car entered through the creek in 2 wheel drive. It was dry though.
STAR GAZING for all 3 sites: There is a cleared area on top of a hill side for stargazing far from the city lights.
CHECK IN: Check in can be as early as like if the present campers have checked out. You can always hang out elsewhere on the property and start your day to explore and hike till they leave. Just let us know in advance. And you can stay all day the day of check out but you may have to pack up and park elsewhere if other campers need the spot. If not. Stay till dark.
PHOTOS: EXPAND THE PHOTOS TO A SINGLE VIEW! Some photos are of nearby attractions. You can see the description of each photo and which site is in the picture when you expand them.
VEHICLE TYPE AND PARKING: In order to drive up into the campsite, you may need a 4x4 vehicle but definitely need ground clearance. If you do not have a 4x4 vehicle or ground clearance, that is okay, park in the field and bring your water shoes for campsite 2. There are stairs and usually stepping stones to cross over to Site 1. Stepping stones for site 2 are coming soon.

Quarter Spring Farm is located in Liberty, TN on the western edge of the Cumberland Plateau. It comprises 63 acres of wooded ridges and hollows with exceptional hiking and distinct landscape features. Smith Fork Creek, which feeds Center Hill Lake, is visible from the campsite. Quarter Spring Farm’s history is murky and still being discovered. The house is over 100 years old. There are stone property walls that may predate the civil war. We believe this site was a Mississippian period settlement because of the large amount of artifacts we have found.
Please note: there is no electricity at the dome. There will be a battery with a light and the option to charge your phone. There is no parking at the dome. The walk is uphill and takes about 5 minutes or so. This is still a tent, the dome is not insulated and is not 100% sealed. Bugs do get inside from time to time. I will also provide you with water for cleaning and at least a gallon to drink. Just let me know if you need more. If you can get here before it gets dark, that is the best. If you can’t, that’s ok, we’ll just be hiking in the dark. Luckily I know my way around pretty good.

Tired of campgrounds that feel more like parking lots? Come and reconnect with nature and park your RV on our private, family friendly, large, shaded, full hookup, 72 ft long, 30 and 50 amp RV site with wifi on our 50 acre farm with fire ring and picnic table and screen house. We are not a campground, just a small farm in a rural neighborhood with 2 full hookup RV sites for guests.
30 minutes (17miles) North of Nashville, Tennessee. There are wild Turkeys and Deer that roam the property. We also have some free range Guineas and Peacocks which is why we ask that all dogs, while welcome, remained leashed at all times. We do have a leash free field for dogs to run. Great place to get away and enjoy nature, take a walk on our trails through the woods, take a hike down to our creek, listen to the birds and watch the sunset over the pasture while cooking s’mores on the fire, yet not that far from Nashville! Perfect for enjoying nature and/or visiting Nashville.
This site is for self contained RVs only, there are no restroom facilities. Check in is between 2 pm and sundown. No check ins after dark without prior approval.
Limit of 2 vehicles and 2 pets.
When you request to book just let us know how many people will be camping, how many pets you will be bringing with you and what you are camping in, travel trailer or motor home, and what length in feet it is. Thank you!
Since this is a natural area of fields and woods, along with farm animals and wildlife you may encounter insects. We recommend bringing insect repellent for mosquitoes and ticks and making sure that your pets have protection also.

This site far exceeded our wildest expectations. The riverfront access was beautiful & super private. All the animals on the property were extremely friendly. And the hosts went above and beyond with access to their mobile sauna and showing us how to milk goats! We’re already planning on coming back it was so perfect. Thank you Anastasia and Jared!

It was a very nice and quiet place. Very friendly lady you meet before you go to your camp site. The camp site was a little down hill but no much. . Very nice walk to the water falls and creek. I would recommend staying there.

Beautifully maintained quiet and secluded campsite tucked in the woods. The site descriptions and pictures helped us choose our site. Great base camp to visit the regional waterfalls.

My kids and I had the best time at the GeoDome! A much needed break from the city. We played games all night. But first enjoyed our hiked in dinner on the patio with the sunset. The rainstorm sounded lovely as it put us to sleep. Accommodations were comfortable. And the visits from the goats were a delight. We look forward to coming back in the fall. Hopefully to make use of the wood burning stove.

We absolutely stumbled onto a hidden gem with this HipCamp stay. The property was peaceful, beautiful, and felt like something straight out of a storybook. Huge wooded trails, wildlife everywhere, quiet campsites, and the sweetest screened-in sitting area with fresh flowers waiting for us when we arrived.
But what truly made this place unforgettable was the host, Ditte. She went above and beyond in every possible way. We were welcomed with a thoughtful gift bag that included homemade elderflower jam, fire starters, dog treats for our pup, and a hand-drawn map of the entire 50-acre property with trails marked out. She even brought us fresh eggs for breakfast!
The trails were gorgeous and clearly loved and cared for. We saw peacocks, toads, peaceful forest paths, and little signs throughout the woods that made the whole experience feel magical and personal. It honestly felt less like renting a campsite and more like being welcomed onto someone’s little slice of paradise.
If you’re looking for a relaxing, nature-filled escape with an incredibly kind host, this is it. We already can’t wait to come back.” 🌲✨🐾🥚🦚

Second time I've been, and thoroughly enjoy this camping spot. The white noise of the stream is so relaxing, and the area is very private. Not to mention the host is incredible and so friendly. I plan to come back many times.

Lovely spot. Communication with Elisabeth was great! It was so nice to have a quiet place to park in a pretty, woodsy setting and still be near the city. It was raining heavily, but it would've been nice to enjoy the fire pit and seating area if the weather were nicer!

We absolutely loved our stay and cannot recommend it highly enough.
From the moment we booked, our host provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions and welcomed us with genuine warmth and kindness. What began as a camping experience quickly became something much more memorable. We enjoyed wine and cheese together, shared wonderful conversation, and had the opportunity to hear stories from his travels around the world.
As a former chef, his passion for food and hospitality shines through in everything he does. He prepared dinner for us, and it was exceptional. The steak was one of the best we've ever had, and the ribs were truly outstanding. Beyond the incredible meal, we appreciated how engaging, knowledgeable, and generous he was with his time and stories.
It's rare to find a host who creates such a thoughtful and personal experience. We left feeling well cared for, well fed, and genuinely grateful for the connection.
We would absolutely book again and look forward to returning.

Great experience again. Very nice facilities. I stopped on the way out and back from a road trip and rushed my stays too much. I will be stopping by again to explore the area for a few days.

Christine’s property was stunning. She’s found the balance of perfectly kept and unkept. The campsites are spacious and offer a good amount of privacy. We also enjoyed the little trails offering incredible creek access. It was the perfect getaway for our family of four. The kids (3 & 4) loved the creeks and felt confident in the trails! We will be back!

1 night at Quarter Spring Farm
The dome was a unique stay! The ambiance inside the dome was surprisingly homey. We got to enjoy a beautiful sunset and saw the goats and sheep on their morning walk about.
The walk up to the dome is a little steep and rocky at first, but otherwise not too bad.

One of the best HipCamp experiences I have ever had. Property is beautifully situated on a large 3 acre lot in a rural area outside of Franklin. Robert was very gracious as a host, meeting us out front when we arrived and guiding us into the space which was beautifully arranged with a nice table and fire pit. The most memorable part of the experience, however, was the dinner that Robert, a former professional chef, prepare prepared for us! The opted for the Nashville hot chicken, which was absolutely delicious! Thank you, Robert for your hospitality!!

This is my 2nd time staying here, so Eye feel that says a lot. When Eye know that I’m going to be in the Nashville area and don’t want to drive all the way back home. Hands down this is where I’m going to book. Such a Beautiful reset spot to enjoy nature, star gaze & sunset. Very peaceful, secluded and safe. Home away from home.
