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

Great camping!!

We had a great experience at Running Creek! Love the site by the river, plenty of room for us and the firing made for a great campfire! Plus the host has firewood by the entrance for the campers too- so nice!! The bathrooms could use a touch up, but they were generally clean. It is so nice to have hot water for showers while camping too! My daughter loved looking at all the flowers blooming and watching the river!! We will definitely be back soon! Also, I appreciate that the campground is gated. I’m usually a solo camper with my daughter and that added a bit of security. Something that’s out of the hosts control is that there are trains that run overnight. It wasn’t too bothersome to me, but thought I’d share!

Trains and highways

Train comes by every hr or 2 blowing the horn, highway I can spit at. This place was so loud. We tried to go to the top of the MT where the map says we can stay and was meet by a guy in a red raptor telling us we're not allow up top eve though there is camping and is on the map. Level spots are hard to locate, no # on sites just good luck. We will never stay here again. To loud !!! No pice of mind

Great spot

This place was awesome! We loved staying here and will be returning in the future. Our camp site was near the creek which made a relaxing noise. You can hear the train and traffic but it wasn’t bothersome at all, thank you for hosting us!!

Would stay here again

A really nice rustic-ish camp ground. The bathrooms are really clean, the showers are awesome as well, hot water is hot hot. Awesome pavilion to hangout in. Lots of space to enjoy yourself. 10 out 10 would recommend to a friend, family member, or acquaintance.

Spring summer yes

Very nice to deal with very easy to find lovely private cut as can be but the only problem for me was I came to get away from the sound of the highway and didn’t realize I would hear it so much, but once the trees fill in, it would be lovely. It was just cause it was winter. All the leaves weren’t blocking the road sound otherwise adorable.
