Welcome to Tiny Dreamer Homestead. If you are traveling through or just want to get away, we would love to host you! The land is mowed down, lush green with some trees in the middle and just all around beautiful. There are 4 gravel RV pads and gravel paths around the homestead as well as 6 large wildflower gardens. Right now there are no activities on the land. Just a place to stay if someone wants to camp or you can walk on the paths. If you have a golf cart, you can ride those on the property. I do own 34 chickens which are a delight and I sell farm fresh eggs. I also sell produce and handmade goods seasonally. I also rent my tiny house on wheels on Airbnb and there could be a guest staying at any given time. We just ask that you walk around the tiny house front and back yard and not through it if there is a guest staying. The camp sites have not been broken in yet so the spots are not in a designated area yet. There are 5 tent camp spots to choose from. The photos you see are the areas you can choose from. I supply a fire pit and free firewood for your use during your stay. We do not have bathroom facilities so please be prepared to use your own. There is also a Dollar General 2 minutes away.

Several of our sites are situated along a 4-mile-long, tree-lined cove — calm, scenic, and directly connected to the lake — making it the perfect spot for peaceful mornings and sunset paddles. Open Year-Round Whether you’re looking for summer fun or a mild winter escape, we welcome both short-term and long-term stays. Note: -Rates shown are daily. Contact us for a discount code for weekly or monthly stays. -RVs must be self-contained, as there are no public restrooms in the community. -Water levels in the cove are seasonal, as they are managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).

The best camping in Big Hill Pond State Park, TN guide

Overview

About

Scuttle off the beaten path and find yourself on the serene banks of Big Hill Pond. This state park is not the most hot n’ hoppin’ spot and embraces it - there are shelters along the trails for campers and backpackers (they’ve even got bunks!), with miles of trails for horses, mountain bikers, and hikers. The 5,000 acres of lush forest almost reach pure wilderness status in their feeling of remoteness. Make sure to pack your fishing rod for the bream and bass, and don’t miss the vertical climb up the fire tower - it’s the best view around (except for the birds’).

When to go

The ideal time to visit Big Hill Pond State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer brings warmth perfect for water activities, though be prepared for the buzz of insects. Winters are quiet, offering a stark, peaceful beauty, but some facilities may be limited, so plan accordingly.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, before planning your visit.
  • Stay informed about any trail closures or safety advisories by visiting the park's official website.
  • Accessibility varies across the park, so inquire ahead if you require special accommodations.
  • Bring along your essentials, as amenities may be limited in certain areas of the park.
  • Respect the natural habitat by disposing of trash properly and adhering to park regulations.
