Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
The best part about this site are the views! Relax on the side of the Cumberland Plateau while overlooking Burroughs Cove and the Elk River. There is an electrical box at each end of the graveled parking area (Sites 1 & 2) with 20 and 30 amp plugs. A water container with non-potable water is on site for your use. There is also an outhouse, picnic table, and a fire ring. We are located just minutes away from the The Caverns, South Cumberland State Park, Bigfoot Adventures, and many other attractions. The graveled camping area is fairly close to Hwy 50 so please expect to hear some road noise. Need firewood? Please let us know at least 48 hours prior to arrival and we can coordinate to have it delivered to your campsite before you arrive, enough wood for the night (and then some) $35.

This was such a nice spot! Right off the highway and easy to find. Peaceful! Outhouse was super clean. It has a gate, which was nice too. The view is incredible.

This spot worked great for our needs, a one night stay in our camper van. We didn’t get to enjoy the views as much as we wanted because of rain the entire time we were onsite. If weather had cleared we would’ve booked a second night to enjoy the amazing view.

Sonya’s site was amazing! We came up for a concert at The Caverns and it was the perfect location. Had an outlet to blow up an air mattress and everything. Warning for fellow tent-campers - the overlook can be quite windy on stormier nights and the gravel on the top sites is quite large so just bring a bigger pad. Only slight downside is how close the road is to the site, but for what it was it was great. Clear instructions and easily accessible. Gorgeous view - would definitely return! Thank you, Sonya!
