Camp Chet was founded with the purpose to help people encounter God through outdoor experiences. It over 900 acres of private forested land on Whitwell Mountain, which is part of the Cumberland Plateau in Southeast Tennessee. Take a hike on miles of trails comprised of forest paths, old wagon roads, or coal mining roads. If you find a chunk of coal on the ground feel free to take it home with you as a souvenir. If you are a history buff, you may be interested in discovering previous caretakers from the late 1800's and early 1900's in nearby cemeteries. The camp ground is on top of a mountain, and you will have to go through a locked gate and drive over a mile and half on a bumpy gravel/dirt road. You will be most comfortable in a vehicle that is suitable for rugged terrain. Day trips less than an hour away include the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, Rock City, Ruby Falls, Nickajack Lake and Bat Cave among many others. Come to hike, relax, bike, explore, and recharge.

A Weekend Off The Grid!
Our family had the most amazing time at Camp Chet! We had everything we needed for an amazing and comfortable stay in our camp area. Even with 2 adults and 3 teenages, we all slept comfortably in our little home for the weekend. We had no need for electricty of running water as part of our stay, all the things we needed we brought or were avilable for us (grill items, wash water from rain barrell, lanterns). Our host made sure we always had what we needed and was only a phone call away if we needed them. There is endless trails to explore and you really are secluded into nature, this is the best part of it all, silence and quiet. We are excited to plan our next trip there again to enjoy and explore more of this beautiful property.

We had a lovely time at Camp Chet! There were several well-marked hiking trails, a grill, firewood, and a fire pit right by the cabin, and a shared pavilion area with a clean porta-potty, picnic tables and hammock chairs. Communication from the host was excellent, and all the facilities were very nice and well cared for.

Best camping I ever had
I love everything about this place. The nature around the cabin is amazing. We had a rainy day that we thought will be rough to keep kids inside but it turned out to be a great rainy day. Me and my hubby stayed on the little porch and watched the beautiful and peaceful rain while our children were playing. It was the most relaxing day. We didn’t had much time to explore the trails but after the rain we had 3 waterfalls around to explore. After 2 days of being there I felt so calm and relaxed. It recharged me for sure. Also the hosts Robert and Ruth were very kind and helpful. I can’t wait to book the next trip. Thank you Robert and Ruth, your place is a complete connection with the wonders of nature.
