What an amazing group of people. I loved meeting them, I loved their property and their camping options. They’re doing amazing setting up the amenities and adding bathrooms etc. will definitely stay with them again when I’m in town. Thank you all for your hospitality.
The was a great stay! Jan was so welcoming and accommodating. She met me out front and showed me where to park my car. I ended up car camping and loved it. She even offered some dinner for me as I arrived a little later. This was an A+. As a solo female camper, I felt extremely safe and welcomed. Her land is large, and has plenty of space.

Thanks for the kind words Katie! We look forward to seeing you again in the future and thanks for being patient with our renovations. When you return we hope you will find it even better! Jan
You won't find nicer hosts anywhere else! These folks are incredibly friendly and are always so unbelievably accommodating to me and my climbing buddies. We stay here quite often and will always keep coming back when we can!

The best just west of chattanooga
Stay at Jan's was very enjoyable. Quiet little farm with friendly horses and 3 cow babies, but close to activities. Jan and her husband made our stay easy, helped and greeted us when we got there, and and they provided a fire pit and firewood. We were able to enjoy a nice fire before heading in for the night after coming back from dinner. Jan's husband offered some places to go see which we took him up on. Close by in Jasper ,just a few miles east, there was a restaurant on top of the mountain with open air deck seating overlooking the whole valley, Top of the Rock .The scenery is stunning. Make reservations online early, it is a popular place. $$. All in all ,our first Hipcamp booking was success. I just hope all the rest can live up to it
Loved staying at the Ponderosa! Campsite is located in a big pasture with trees across the back. Fully fenced property with 2 beautiful horses. Fire ring is also conveniently located near the campsite and firewood is available to campers. Located on a quiet, dead end street with minimal traffic. Beautiful night skies and fireflies! They also have a pool and hot tub for visitors!
We were in the area to visit my niece at Sewanee College, which is only 30 minutes away, so convenient location for us.
Jan and Richard are wonderful hosts who would do anything for you. Very friendly, helpful and essentially the nicest people you will ever meet! We look forward to our next visit! Thank you guys for our little adventure!

This is a fantastic place to stay! Some climbing buddies and I were in town climbing for the weekend and Janet was so incredibly accommodating and outwardly nice to us! The horses were very friendly, the field was nice, they built us a lovely fire pit and let us use their pool and hot tub. 10/10 definitely coming back!!
Jan and Richard are great hosts. Their spot on earth is most pleasing!




The property is five blocks off the main street in a small town. The pasture land and barn was picture perfect. They have a lovely swimming pool that can be used. The hosts are very wonderful and caring people. Truly enjoyed our stay and have been blessed to meet these beautiful people.





It was great to meet you and your son. We're happy you had a good stay and are welcome back anytime. Thanks for the review! Jan
