Located only minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, our riverfront glamping tent has all the amenities necessary for glamping in comfort and ease. It includes access to river and pond for fishing, kayaking, rafting, tubing, etc. You will be surrounded by all the necessary creature comforts for your stay, electric, shower, real flushable toilet, heat/air-conditioning, hot water, potable water, coffee bar, fire pit, Blackstone grill, mini-fridge,etc. Just relax and be completely immersed in the mountains and nature.Enjoy the privacy and mountain views of our riverfront property. Lots of shade all day during the summer months and cool breeze off river. You will be located on a family farm in rural Tennessee, but plenty of privacy is available at your campsite on the beautiful Pigeon River. Rafting and ziplining less than 10 minutes away!

River Refuge
My #1
If I could give River Refuge more than five stars I would. It has hit #1 on my list for so many reasons. The hosts are amazing, the site is breathtaking and the amenities provided exceeds any I’ve ever experienced. They put a lot of effort into giving their guests a lovely experience. If you are wanting a place to connect spiritually, detox mentally then this is the place.! The energy on this land is nothing other than peace. We did find a homeless kitten that totally stole our hearts and the property owners have welcomed him in to their family. (Pictures provided for cuteness). Site is private and filled with sounds of nature. A few jets flew over but brought back good memories of the years we lived on the air force base. Next warm weather visit I will be bringing the kayaks as I was informed by a few fishermen that there is a place to drop in just up the river next to a park. Plenty of trees for hammocks and a nice large fire pit if you prefer cooking over a fire.

What a great spot! The tent was comfortable and the river was fun to play on. Plenty to do without ever having to leave. We had a great time.

We enjoyed the stay at the camp. It was close to the river and we could listen to the sound of water. Perfect place to spend time if you want to in nature. The camp was good and spacious.

Happy camper Mary
Very beautiful area. Loved the river sounds. Bed was comfortable and having air conditioning a flushing toilet and hot shower is a huge plus. I’ve camped all my life and now that I am in my 60’s glamping is the way to go. Thank you Hannah for all the extras. ( coffee and cups, cooking utensils, plates and forks ). Will definitely recommend.
