The Ponderosa

Super friendly hosts and cute fox visitors! We loved the pool:)

The ponderosa is perhaps the best hipcamp I’ve stayed at. The property is beautiful and the hosts just overflowed with generosity. There is a calmness and peace about this place that cannot be described. I highly recommend.

Wonderful stay! shade trees, grass, pool!!!! Host went over and beyond providing pool towels and coffee and biscuits!!! The mokey was adorable !!!!

The hosts could not be nicer, the pool is fantastic, the sites are beautiful, there are fruit trees and horses and wildlife and it is very close to the downtown. 100% would recommend, 5 stars.

I loved Ponderosa it was amazing and host were beyond generous with their time, knowledge and resources. The pool felt cool and perfectly balanced on chemicals. No stinging eyes or fading out of my new swimsuit. The Hot tub was available as well to guest. Since the showers were quiet ready they offered to let me shower inside their home. Which I thought was very generous but declined because I have friends locally I could shower at. I took a 10x10 pop up as well as my car for camping. Their sites were easy to pull in and out of, and the perfect place after a long day of sight seeing. Would I recommend them to a friend, of course haven't stopped singing the praises of their location on social media. And plan on returning the next time I am in the area.

Jans camp spot was great, Jan was great at communicating prior to my stay and made sure I had all the information I needed. Jans husband greeted me when I arrived and ensured I had everything I needed and more! The camp spot itself was lovely in a paddock behind their house with ample shade, and a fire pit and wood were provided. There was a toilet next to the swimming pool to use which was great (although no sink currently, but I think that’s on the way). The swimming pool could be used when it wasn’t rented by other guests (Jan rents it out for parties over the weekend) and I really enjoyed early morning and evening swimming! The fireflies in the evening were wonderful to watch around the campfire, and I even saw a fox trot through the paddock. All in all I had a great two night stay! As far as things to do in the area, I would highly recommend a meal at The top of the rock restaurant if you stay here. Also visit the Lodge factory shop and look into Chattanooga guided Kayak tour of the Bats flying out of a cave on Nickajack lake.
