Low Meadow Farms (formerly Brown Bike Farms) is a serene four-acre meadow bordered by Burnett Creek. The campground is an easy distance to Downtown Knoxville and an even easier access to all that South Knox's Urban Wilderness has to offer. It uniquely offers a hint of backcountry camping without the 25-mile hike in. It is a great way to test the waters for primitive camping or an easy stop close to the city for a seasoned traveler. It is best suited for car camping, RVs, tent, and hammock camping. There are fire pits and picnic tables at each site with enough room for tents and RVs. Most sites have trees suitable for hammock camping all along the creek. There is potable water, firewood for sale, solar showers, and a bike wash stand all next to the covered communal area. Each standard site can accommodate 2 people to keep space between groups and lessen the impact on the land. Sites 10 and 13 can each accommodate 6 guests. If you have more in your group, we recommend reserving an adjoining campsite. Sites 1, 2 and 3 are off the main path to the left of the property, and still by the creek. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all along the creek and gravel drive Site 10 is very private with creek access on three sides. Site 11 is private with creek access all along the front. Site 12 is up high on a hill, and Site 13 is open in the middle of the meadow.

My late husband and myself bought the property in 1983 and it was all just overgrown land!We worked, cleared, built horse shelters/barns, cabins, cut trails, built the outdoor chapel for our wedding and of course fenced it all in for the horses! Started sharing with guests in 1993, so we have met so many amazing folks from all over the world!  Pass thru our gate into another world and leave all your worries and tensions behind. We are all about getting back to what is real -- nature, animals/horses and each other. Complete privacy!There are many mountain trails leaving right from our property! Lots to explore. You can even hike to the outdoor chapel with the pretty view of the Chilhowee Mountain range.  It is a short hike to the barn area for those who want to spend time rubbing the pot belly pigs' tummy, walk the mini horses, groom the love bug~Junebug (donkey), pet horses, cuddle with bunnies and feed chickens!  Every morning and night we set a time for all those who want to become involved with the care/feeding of petting animals and horses!

This is a great RV camp with a plethora of other accommodation options. We loved our two nights there but it would be a great location for a reunion! Those with RVs could camp but there are ‘Tree House’ cabins, retro campers, glamping tents and more! The pads are all concrete and level. Everything is well maintained. The showers are AMAZING! The facilities are clean and have a nice vibe. We even got to play a game of ping pong outdoors. We didn’t try the pool but it too was very clean and would be a great addition for many. Yes, there is some road noise but we were in a teardrop with the windows screened and the vent on. We were not bothered a bit. Couldn’t recommend higher! Also, there is a trolley to Gatlinburg if that is your thing. Parking there is crazy expensive so this is an added perk at Camp LeConte Luxury Outdoor Resort among many, many perks!

We had a wonderful family camping trip here and truly enjoyed every moment. The campground was peaceful, well-maintained and perfect for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights of our stay was river tubing in the creek behind our campsite. Our kids absolutely loved it! The host was incredibly kind and flexible, graciously accommodating our request to shift our reservation by a day due to some travel logistics. That level of understanding and hospitality made the experience even better. Everything on the property was clean, organized and working exactly as expected. We would absolutely recommend this campground to anyone looking for a quiet, family-friendly escape in nature.

I was happy to find Patricia’s Hipcamp so close to my cousin’s place. It is definitely convenient to just about anything you might need! I enjoyed watching the horses across the creek… one of them was actually splashing around in the water next to my site when I arrived. It is a very pretty spot, and everything was as described. The directions were clear, and the site was easy to find. I was, however, glad I brought bug spray because there were a lot of mosquitoes.

Weekend Trip to Low Meadow Farms

We had a great stay at Low Meadow Farms Hipcamp on Site 10. The creek wrapped around two sides of the campsite, and hearing the cool water flowing over the rocks made it incredibly peaceful and relaxing. Since Site 10 is a group site, there was more than enough room for our small hiker camper, a tent, and still plenty of extra space for additional campers if needed. The campground was super quiet, and all the other campers we met were very friendly. We also appreciated the little touches like the solar shower, pavilion with picnic tables and a grill, and the beautiful prairie area to walk through and enjoy nature. There’s a water spigot available, but no electrical hookups — which was perfect for the kind of simple, unplugged camping experience we enjoy.

2 nights at Harmony hollow

My husband, my 4 year old and I stayed here for 2 nights. It was nice meadow with everything mentioned in the listing, running water, sink, toilet and shower and wood for purchase. Easy to get into and out of and conveniently located. Yes, you do hear the traffic of the road as is mentioned but you get used to it/it becomes background noise. There were other campers at one of the other sites during our stay which was not a problem and to be expected as this is a top listing in Tennessee but had all the other sites been taken, I would feel that is too close together, at least for me personally. That’s the only potential downfall that I would check on before coming again and wanted to mention for the consideration of others. We enjoyed our time here.

Kat's slice of property is beautifully maintained with low hedgerows between grass areas for polinators and wildlife. I was pretty much the only one there so it was very quite and peaceful with the exception of a few cars on the nearby road. There is a great deal of poison ivy around the edges of some sites, so if you're highly allergic be prepared. Very easy access and close enough to town. Worked great for me. Thanks Kat!

Very convenient to Great Smoky National Forest without having to be in a crowded campground lined up cheek by jowl. Very quiet and peaceful, located near a creek; we could hear the soothing sound of rushing water all day. The road leading into the Hipcamp was a bit twisty/turny but we made it there without any problems. It’s about a 30 minute scenic-drive to the entrance of the NP but that includes driving through Gatlinburg. Everything in the camp is new and we were very comfortable. There was only one other camper in the camp while we were there.

Definitely would recommend to splurge and get Tree Solo for some extra privacy. Everything was clean and well kept. The bed was super comfy and we enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch. The only downside to the site is that the fire pit is on a hill so there really isn’t any great place to sit in a chair next to the fire without it tipping over.

Seven Islands State Birding Park camping guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Seven Islands State Birding Park, where the air is alive with the calls of native birds. Traverse the winding trails, gaze across the expansive fields, and immerse yourself in the vibrant ecosystems that thrive here. While the park does not offer camping, its day-use areas provide the perfect setting for picnics, wildlife photography, and serene walks along the riverbank.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Seven Islands State Birding Park is during the spring and fall migrations, when the park becomes a hub for birdwatching enthusiasts. Summer offers lush greenery but can be hot; winter is quieter but starkly beautiful. Avoid peak times like holidays to ensure a more tranquil experience.

Know before you go

Check the park's website for any trail closures or special events prior to your visit.
Wear appropriate footwear for hiking and bring binoculars for birdwatching.
Remember to carry water and sunscreen, as some areas offer little shade.
Be mindful of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your visit accordingly.
While amenities are limited, portable restrooms and picnic areas are available for your convenience.
