Corkey's Critter Camp
Camping with animals
The whole family enjoyed our stay with the critters! Abby the donkey was hilarious, she kept us and the kids laughing every time she came around. The horses are so beautiful and well behaved. The serval and lynx are absolutely gorgeous!
Accessing the site and amenities are easy and both are well taken care of and you can tell improvements are being made every day.

We were a bit skeptical pulling up, but went in with open minds and ended up having a good visit. Due to our travel schedule, we got in after dark; this is definitely not advised. The map embedded on HipCamp was not accurate- use the address listed instead. The fenced in area was great for our pup to run around after a long drive and Abby the donkey was a gem!
The fenced area was not private; it was between the host’s house and the neighbors. Other campers may be in the same area. The fire pit was lovely to sit around since it was COLD!! 🥶 But there were also options of you wanted a more private area. We were supposed to go to them but opted to stay in the fenced area so our dog could play.
***Be aware: cell service is spotty!
If passing through the Gatlinburg area we might stay here again, but would likely chose a different HipCamp for a new experience - and that has nothing to do with Kimber or the property.

I booked this site for my kiddos, my daughter Abby LOVED camping with Abby the donkey. This was a bit more residential than the hike ins I’m used to. But it was great, I have no complaints. The views were great, access to everything local was a great central spot, and having a toilet was a huge bonus! Kimber was communicative. There’s two options, a fenced in field with space from the horses annd so key and the open pasture. We stayed in the pasture for my kids. And if you’re looking for animal interaction, I highly recommend it. But better plan on giving them attention and marshmallows. Abby the donkey will demand attention, she doesn’t care if you're trying to look up gps coordinates while you have service or not. She will come pick on you until you pet her. We highly recommend this great and fun spot!
