Secluded 48 acres in Murphy (about 16 minutes to downtown). Near: John C. Campbell Folk School (about 12 minutes away); Nantahala River (about 35 minutes away). Friendly dog and cat (they live at my house, but may come to the chapel for a visit). Roam the property and swim in the spring fed pond. If you are a camper or want to try "camping," then you will love "glamping" ("glamorous camping") at the chapel! Read more about "glamping" and the chapel's features below. The space My vision is that my property (which I've named "Kingdom Come") would be a place of rest, retreat, and enjoyment for others. I am going to build a few cabins for lodging, but my first major project was building a chapel, so that it would be the centerpiece and heartbeat: a place for reflection, meditation, and prayer. I built the chapel myself (with my own hands, and the hands of a couple of friends). As I work on building the cabins, I have decided to use the chapel as a glamping site (better than using it as a "divine" storage building!). My mother was an artist and when she died I ended up with a lot of her artwork. Some of her paintings now fill the chapel. They also fill the space, I hope, with her grace and love and creativity. The chapel features beautiful timber frame construction. As to "glamping" . . . there is no running water/plumbing, but you'll have all the fresh water you need for showers, drinking, etc. Limited electricity for running the kitchen appliances. No AC, of course, but the fan will keep it comfortable in warm weather. As to cold weather, the chapel has an electric heater that keeps it fairly comfortable in cold weather: not blazing hot, but comfortable, unless it gets VERY cold; then, the heater just takes off some of the chill. Zinus Ultima Comfort Memory Foam 6 Inch mattresses are very comfortable! Using the outdoor solar/camp shower is wonderful. The privy is clean and well-ventilated. Appliances: fan; toaster oven; microwave oven; coffee maker; and, small micro-fridge. Lighting is provided by four rechargeable lanterns. Screens on the windows and door to keep the bugs at bay. Outdoor deck features comfortable Adirondack chairs, a Weber charcoal grill, and a fire pit for campfires. I'll provide you with wood (on a donation basis . . . pay what you like) campfires.

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.

We just retired from Active Duty Air Force! My ancestors have owned the land our NC cabins sit on since 1836. In fact, my mother grew up there after my Grandfather returned from WWII when there was no electricity and the outhouse was a bench over the creek. I grew up hiking the mountains with my brothers and our BB guns and my Uncle Frank at our family reunions. In 2005 he deeded us a parcel of land and we built our first cabin - Smawlie. We love to come to the cabin and Hike the trails on our own property, and of course, the world famous ones that join them, namely the Bartram and the Appalachian Trails. As you explore the lake, the trails, the rivers, and the mountain roads you'll see why our ancestors settled here. In 2018 - we bought the remainder of Uncle Frank's land - and in his honor built our second cabin - Frank's Landing. Also in that year I started managing my brother Bill's cabin. When we were stationed in Alaska for 6 heavenly years - we purchased a remote parcel of property and have slowly begun to develop it. We just completed building our cabin there. Thanks for reading this little tid bit about us. We love to explore the mountains and are excited to share our cabins with you.

Weekend Trip to Salty Pines Hideaway

I had such a wonderful stay at Salty Pines! From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcome. They helped carry our things from the car. Tiki gave us a fun ride on the 4x4, and even took the time to play with my son, which meant so much to him. The yurt was adorable, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The bed gave me the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had while sleeping "outside". My son absolutely loved playing with the hammock, and we both enjoyed spending time around the fire pit. I really like the picnic bar table. It was such a nice touch and made meals outside even more enjoyable. You can tell a lot of thought and care has gone into creating this place. We made some wonderful memories here, and I'll definitely be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Your Toccoa River Cove!

We had a wonderful stay here! The wooded area in summer provided enough privacy from nearby neighbors. The shelter was a great amenity to set up our entire camp and the Project Chimps hiking trails nearby were great!

Weekend Trip to Glamping at the Chapel

Billy’s land is absolutely gorgeous and he has done well turning it into a magical retreat. The chapel is stunning and Billy made sure we had everything we needed. He and his animal friends were so welcoming. 11/10 would visit again.

Weekend Trip to Salty Pines Hideaway

My crew had a great evening at Salty Pines. Got up early the next day to go whitewater rafting (camp is 20 min. from the Ocoee). Next visit I plan to stay for the whole weekend! Exceptional amenities for being so far out in the woods.

the spacious shelter sits across the creek from the main camping area and in the middle of the 12 acre heavily wooded site

This was a great Hipcamp spot: private, secluded, and well appointed. The shelter was fantastic. A perfect spot to prepare dinner and chill out. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Salty Pines Hideaway

This place is awesome. It's situated in thick forest with lots of greenery. The yurt I slept in was super nice and the campground comes with a shower, bathhouse, and WiFi. Perfect for an inexpensive but quality getaway from Chattanooga or other places

Weekend Trip to Salty Pines Hideaway

Tighe was a great host, the yurt was nice and honey and the bed was great. I went and hiked to a waterfall and slipped and fell hard and when I got back Tighe got me a camping chair to sit in, a first aid kit, and dry socks. I'll definitely return. They're building something special there and it's a beautiful place. Take the back roads and drive through the Cherokee National Forest, it's great!

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)

Our stay with Gary was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and at home. Gary is truly one of the kindest, most genuine hosts we’ve ever met. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of privacy to enjoy our getaway. The campsite felt like our own private oasis. The peaceful setting was exactly what we needed to escape and relax. One of our favorite parts was listening to the creek nearby. The sound of the flowing water was so calming and made the whole experience feel even more special. Breakfast was amazing! I had the BLT quiche, and my husband had the camper-style skillet. Both were absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. It was the perfect way to start the day and easily one of the highlights of our stay. Even the outdoor shower exceeded our expectations. The water pressure was fantastic, especially for an outdoor shower, and the temperature was always perfect. It was such a refreshing experience and showed how much thought has gone into making guests comfortable. Every detail reflected the care Gary puts into hosting. We left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning our next visit. We can’t wait to come back in the winter and experience the property in a different season. Thank you, Gary, for your kindness, hospitality, and for creating such a wonderful place. We highly recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway!

This is a piece of paradise, with a stream running right by the campsite, all you can hear is the water running by you and setting you up for the ultimate relaxing experience. Gary (the host) has thought of everything you need and has an immediate response if you have any questions or need any help with anything. His two little dogs are great and super welcoming and friendly. The location is super convenient to Helen and surrounding areas and all they have to offer. I highly recommend a visit and stay here if you havent!

You are definitely in the mountains now! shelter is hand crafted from all rough sawn locally sourced wood from the site or from Fannin County forests.

The kids and our Dog had a blast. Everything is thought through, ample of charging plug points very clean facilities and bath house with hot water. I would definitely recommend this beautiful property. The Pavillion next to the river is a nice gathering spot with shared facilities and store as well with amenities. Stacy was a great host. I wish her the best.👌 👍 Thanks

Weekend Trip to Tiny Home Way

The cabin was absolutely great! It was the perfect cozy retreat into the woods to disconnect and relax. The jacuzzi was a huge highlight and very enjoyable. Everything went smoothly, and Joni and Moni were great hosts—very attentive and fast to respond. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Herzen Platz (a place in the Heart)

This is a beautiful spot, even in the rain. We booked last minute as an anniversary getaway and a need to reconnect with nature. Gary is excellent, walking you through everything he has set up for you when you arrive. We loved the little trail that followed the stream, and the area near the tire swing. He also told us about a nature trail across the street. Breakfast is AMAZING and so worth it. I had the quiche and my husband had the skillet. It is so nice after spending a night in a tent to wake up knowing you don’t have to make breakfast!

Gary’s campsite was wonderful, had everything we needed for a quick romantic getaway. Sleeping by the creek was so peaceful and the bed was very comfortable. We didn’t get a chance to order any food but the menu looked amazing. I would definitely book here again!

Gary’s camp was absolutely terrific! It was like a Bed and Breakfast with Glamping. The tent was spacious, the shower was hot, and the bed was very comfortable. His food was gourmet quality delicious. Highly recommend staying at Herzen Platz - you have to get the breakfast!

Absolutely loved our stay! The property is gorgeous and private. The Adirondack shack is the perfect place to set up your camp kitchen - or hide from the rain. The spring kept us in water for our entire stay - and the wildlife kept us entertained (foxes are very vocal lol). Don't forget to sign the guest book! We left a few things for the next visitors, as past guests have done before us. We can't wait to go back!!

Vogel State Park Campground

Made reservations months ago. When we checked in today we were unable to get our RV into the site. Campground was full we loose. Won’t be going back they couldn't honor our reservation. We were so disappointed. Lot of time spent traveling packing unpacking. Employers didn’t even care :( on website says the site holds a 25 ft RV. Not so much

Vogel State Park Campground

I've "camped" here in the log cabins, which are incredible for the price. The lake is one of the most beautiful settings/sites in all of North Georgia. There is something magical about Vogel. Makes a great basecamp if you're hiking to Blood Mountain.

Vogel State Park Campground

One of the oldest and most beautiful State Parks in Georgia. Sits in Union County, near the Appalachian Trail, Blood Mountain, and breathtaking Brasstown Bald, Georgia's highest mountain, rising 4,784 feet above sea level. Great facilities, clean modern cabins as well as CCC era log cabins, and tent sites. Paddle boats (in-season), mini-golf, etc.
