Calico Junction Ranch

20 sites · RVs, Tents101 acres · Hohenwald, TN

Located in the hills and high forests of Hohenwald, Tennessee, Calico Junction Ranch is a large, multi-faceted operation with over forty head of horses, breeding kennels for Long-Coat German Shepherds, and a modest Heritage Breed Hog farming operation. Occupied by Native Americans as early as 10,000 BC, the Chickasaw Indians hunted our hills in the 1500's, and the ranch property is located along the Cherokee "Trail of Tears." The ranch was later home to a miner named "Grizzly Jack"... You can visit his cabin during your stay. More recently, Calico Junction hosted benefits for St. Jude's Children's Hospital, and we regularly host dinner trail rides on weekends. Calico Junction New Beginnings Ranch is our non-profit 501(c)3 providing Equine Assisted Therapy and a horse rescue. Because Calico Junction has so much to offer, we have joined Hipcamp in order to give everyone the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful and relaxing ranch home. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent in a beautiful meadow not far from a pasture with horses. Choose a site close to the main ranch or as remote as you prefer. We are a family-oriented operation where children are welcome. Explore the ranch on foot or arrange for a horseback ride or two. Bring your binoculars and get up early to catch the Great Blue Herons feeding near the bridge. You'll probably disturb them, but if you're quick, you may capture a picture of the Heron's graceful flight. Go wading, collect rocks or hunt for arrowheads in Rockhouse Creek--you are almost certain to find them, the best free souvenirs! Take nature walks to see our abundant wildlife: deer, wild turkeys, foxes, rabbits and squirrels, because they play here too! Tour the kennels and walk or brush the dogs upon request. Tell stories or play your guitar as you enjoy a relaxing evening campfire. Then listen to the Whippoorwills as they serenade you to sleep. You must arrive 1 hour prior to sunset.

Fern Gulley Creekside Camping

3 sites · RVs, Tents12 acres · Lobelville, TN

NOTICE: we are in transition. It's been a long time in the works but our Wellness Treehouse in nearing completion. The treehouse is not open yet but we are getting close! Camping is still available, if you do not mind us driving past the camping area to get to the treehouse. There is some construction and power tool noise at times. We are building the hot tub and cold plunge area, tree-nets and other cool features. We will gladly give you a tour of all the happenings. This is likely to be the state of our camping area April - May 2024. We normally like to provide total privacy to guest however the current state of development prevents that. If you are good with that, we would be glad to host you. If that doesn't sound interesting to you, give us a couple more months to get our treehouse fully operational and come see us then. Join Fern Gully camping club and come have some fun with us. Just 20 minutes south of I-40, tucked away in the hills and hollers of Hickman County TN, you will find a rural and peaceful little camping spot we call Fern Gully. The camping area is approximately 5 acres bordered on the south side by Fern Mountain and the north side by Morgan Branch Creek. Large grassy area with access to the creek. Price is for 6 per campsite. If you have additional kids, just let us know and you can bring 2 for the price of 1. Pitch your tent along the banks of pristine Morgan Branch Creek under mature Beech, Poplar and Sugar Maples, string up a hammock or come in your camper van. Deer frequent the area in early morning and late evening. Barred Owls and Red-Tail Hawks can been seen gliding silently through the valley anytime. Butterflies and dragon flies dance over the sparkling springs. Pets are welcome but for their safety and the safety of local farm animals we ask that you keep them leashed or under voice control at all times. Tank the little red very friendly Aussie may pop in for a curious visit as well. Morgan Branch creek is perfect for the little ones to stay occupied all day splashing and exploring. Nearby Cane Creek offers larger swimming holes. Bring a kayak, canoe or SUP or rent one for floating Piney River or Buffalo River. Great fishing can be found at the Buffalo or Duck Rivers, both about a 20 minute drive from camp. Explore the local farming communities. Next door to camp is a regenerative farm owned by a famous musician. Just message us for that contact info and a possible tour. You will also discover an abundance of local Amish farms selling fresh garden veggies & home goods (every day except Sunday’s) during the summer months. 4-Wheelers, ATV’s and UTV’s are a great way to tour the backroads of the Cane Creek Amish community. Please ride respectfully around horse and buggy travelers or near homes. Enjoy quiet walks or bike rides on our chert (red gravel) roads. Cycling and motorcycle enthusiasts frequent the area spring and fall. If you need a change from your camp cooking, make sure to stop into Cane Creek Market for the best ever deli sandwiches. (Closed Sundays). Drive on into Linden (20 minutes from camp) to Video Corner Cafe’ for gluten-free pizza, hamburgers or fresh catfish. Like Mexican, try Mi Pueblito and be sure to try out The Commodore Hotel for weekend live music and delish dinning. Lobelville is 20 minutes from camp and offers Bold Wind Coffee Bar and Hott’s BBQ. Remember to visit Grinders Switch Winery while you are in the area too. Our own Donnie the Grill guy offers catering to your campsite. He's pretty famous around here for his grilled and smoked wings, mouthwatering meatloaf and baby back ribs piled high with two sides fresh from the garden. Just let us know if you would like to schedule your reservation. NOTICE: please text us if you book any add-ons because they need a bit of coordination and Hipcamp does not text us that you have booked an add-on. Fern Gulley hosts thousands of ferns that stay green year round due to the numerous natural springs flowing out from under it. Here is where you will find your pristine drinking water pouring out of the artisan well. It’s so fresh clean and tasty, you may want to fill up some extra to take home! Our farm is north of the camping area and will be visible in winter months along with neighboring farms. This is a rural setting with a mix of nature sounds but also occasional grass cutting or farm animals.

NOTICE: we are in transition. It's been a long time in the works but our Wellness Treehouse in nearing completion. The treehouse is not open yet but we are getting close! Camping is still available, if you do not mind us driving past the camping area to get to the treehouse. There is some construction and power tool noise at times. We are building the hot tub and cold plunge area, tree-nets and other cool features. We will gladly give you a tour of all the happenings. This is likely to be the state of our camping area April - May 2024. We normally like to provide total privacy to guest however the current state of development prevents that. If you are good with that, we would be glad to host you. If that doesn't sound interesting to you, give us a couple more months to get our treehouse fully operational and come see us then. Join Fern Gully camping club and come have some fun with us.

Deer frequent the area in early morning and late evening. Barred Owls and Red-Tail Hawks can been seen gliding silently through the valley anytime. Butterflies and dragon flies dance over the sparkling springs. Pets are welcome but for their safety and the safety of local farm animals we ask that you keep them leashed or under voice control at all times. Tank the little red very friendly Aussie may pop in for a curious visit as well. Morgan Branch creek is perfect for the little ones to stay occupied all day splashing and exploring.
