South Field - WMA Access
Brian's homestead was peaceful and quiet with plenty of space to set up and spread out. It was a pretty setting for primitive camping. We had the opportunity to meet Brian and his daughter and it was a pleasure chatting with both of them.

Camping 4/24
We really enjoy coming to camp at Brian’s. Brian is very kind and helpful, and the property itself is beautiful, with well maintained trails and camp sites. If you want to get away to middle Tennessee to explore, you should definitely check out one of the campsites Brian has! Hickory Hollow is our favorite.

Great time at a quiet spot!
Camped for two nights at Hickory Hollow and had a great time. The site is secluded while open enough to enjoy a good sized area. We were able to pull an Intech Flyer Purse into the area and had plenty of space. Brian was an absolute pleasure to have as a host and gave us a tour of the glamp site (also a nice place!). We did need to engage 4WD getting into the site since the ground was a little bit soggy on the path.
Thank you again, to our host and we look forward to camping again in the future!

Lovely primative site.
As described and pictured. Brian is friendly, the land is beautiful and the designated campsite on the south field has direct access to Yanahli which my partner and kids enjoyed exploring. They have done the kindness of providing a barrel for your campfire, there was ample dry firewood for scavenging around the site.
We had hoped to miss the start of tick season (our trip was mid March 2024), but came prepared with high strength DEET and even though we snagged a couple off of ourselves and the boys, we didn't have any bites. This was not unexpected, simply mentioning so other campers know there is a lot of leafy cover on the ground and to come adequately prepared.
We did have to cut short our trip a day early due to the weather which moved up its timeline and we did not want to try to pack our 4 door sedan full of soggy gear.
Light pollution is minimal, got to see plenty of stars and clusters we don't get to view well or at all in Nashville. We had a stunning view of the ISS flyover and we saw more satellites in one night than in the years we've been gazing in Nashville, so that was also fun.
All in all no complaints or issues. Path getting back was fine when dry for our FWD 4 door sedan, though I would check with Brian if it's been soggy for a few days before you plan on going and you lack 4WD/AWD.
