Guests love staying here: "I came up to Sparta, Tennessee to heal my lungs from the Red Tide. I definitely healed up well at Dan’s cabin in Sparta!! I loved writing music on my cabin porch looking at beautiful green hills with mini ponies roaming around!! The trails on the property were awesome! And at night i loved picking on the guitar with Dan and his family! They were so kind and real genuine people! I highly recommend this hip camp, he has multiple cabins, all unique and special! Plus its close to so many amazing state parks, waterfalls, and swimming holes!!!"

Nice little kitchen setup that covers all the basics.

BBA guests frequently camp with a tent, vehicle, smaller camper, hammock tent, roof top tent, pop-up camper and similar styles depending on their selection.  Most of the photos in this listing are taken onsite. Please keep in mind this is primitive and wild Tennessee landscape that may also contain poisonous plants and wildlife in or around campsites.

Access to fresh water fun is a short down-hill hike for all guests, with the exception of our hike-in campsites which are positioned alongside the river. Each spot has been strategically selected to provide as much privacy as possible, and comfortably accommodates groups with two vehicles. We provide a rock fire pit and heavy duty cast iron grill grate. You provide everything else, including drinking water and personal toilet waste bags if you plan to use our system. The hike-in sites come with extra seating.  Every guest must be included on your reservation, and adult guests may be required to provide identification. Thank you!

COMMUNITY COMFORT STATION: There is a comfort station with an outdoor shower stall for hanging your own solar shower bag. The comfort station also includes a changing room which doubles as a private place to use your portable camping toilet. A toilet seat and bucket system is provided but guests will need to use their own waste disposal bags, available at most camping supply stores. The backside of the comfort station has a rain barrel (not potable) collection system for extinguishing fires.

OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS:  Fall 2024 update, we have been making improvements and current road conditions are good. Due to the primitive nature of our location, all reservations should expect hilly terrain and potential bumpy or soggy road access, especially after heavy rain. We ask all guests to help us minimize impacts by driving with care. We do not recommend vehicles with low ground clearance or low profile tires. An important note, guests always have the choice to park their vehicles at the entrance. We close road access December-March and guests are required to hike in from the entrance of the property, less than a mile distance total. When the road is open in Spring or unusually wet seasons, we recommend AWD or 4WD as a precaution.

The Klein family purchased their home in 2015 after grieving the sudden loss of a beloved family member and realizing that life is truly too short. They traded their bustling city life for a more permanent connection to nature. This small family of four lives at the entrance of their 33 acre old ranch, hosting primitive camping and leaning into a homesteading lifestyle. It wasn't until the family started shaping the land for their personal use until they realized the abundant beauty that surrounds the home. Hidden away and inaccessible were gorgeous rocky cliffs, rivers and even a waterfall! Hipcamp has provided an opportunity for them to carefully share this experience with others. On the land, they enjoy cooling off in the spring water, growing organic food, foraging for wild edibles, hiking, and exploring their onsite rivers and natural springs. Your host Christine is creative and loves working in her onsite fiber studio while her husband David is often found tending to his young fruit and nut orchard and organic crops. Their son Elliott and daughter Freya are both students at Tennessee Tech University. David, Elliott, and Freya also enjoy playing music together professionally in their band My Heart Your Heart.

Wildvine Homestead

I found this little old homestead that had been abandoned 30 years ago. Over the years it had become overgrown and hidden. The first time I waded thru the outer wild hedges and briars and stepped into it, it was a place that opened up like a secret being revealed. I was filled with inspiration! I loved it then!
The property was overgrown with wild grape vines that had grown over 3 decades. The Good Lord had been saving it for me! A month later it was ours!  And so the work began!
I pray for production, protection and happily thankful blissful hearts to all who grace our ground on the Wildvine Homestead!
                          Bountiful Blessings!Learn more about this land:Pitch your TENT here on our 2 acre Wildvine Homestead, listen to the birds singing thru the day and the roosters crowing every morning. You will have access to your own picnic table, a firepit and shower. A quiet little hidden place surrounded by woods but yet close to town and easy access to get anything you need.  We also have Miniature Horses, chickens and goats here to look at and pet.  

The Main Cabin at the Wildvine Homestead.

Up on the hill in the woods looking down.

This is a good spot for when the sun is setting, color wise.

Ivy Creek Homestead

This 2 acre homestead belonged to my grandmother when I was a child. Learn more about this land:A quick little 2 acre place to get to off of the interstate. Open front field for tent camping or go over the hill through the woods to the creek and camp alongside the water for privacy.

There were a lot of different birds around us. We even saw a few cardinals and doves.

There is a large wooded area behind were we camped but it felt inaccessible to us.

a great spot if you need a last minute place to stay!

Mitch and Lori took a lot of care in designing this place and it really shows.

Glamping at Deer Camp Cabin

We build from the heart with blue prints and Deer Camp was a thought that started on the back of a receipt and grew into a 12x12 cozy cabin. We have 13 acres and we share with that Deer Camp. Only enough land has been cleared for structures so it's all wooded and every structure was built by us and is unique and one of a kind. 

With a comfy bed and windows that open all around it's the perfect place to relax.

On the deck of the cabin you'll find a kitchen with everything you could need to fix a meal.

The bathroom is amazing and has a wonderful view of the woods.

You'll find a picnic table by the fire if you want to enjoy a meal outside.

This cute little cabin has everything you'll need for a relaxing getaway.

There's a cozy reading corner to sit and unwind.

Just a short walk from the cabin to the bathroom.
