Low Meadow Farms (formerly Brown Bike Farms) is a serene four-acre meadow bordered by Burnett Creek. The campground is an easy distance to Downtown Knoxville and an even easier access to all that South Knox's Urban Wilderness has to offer. It uniquely offers a hint of backcountry camping without the 25-mile hike in. It is a great way to test the waters for primitive camping or an easy stop close to the city for a seasoned traveler. It is best suited for car camping, RVs, tent, and hammock camping.
There are fire pits and picnic tables at each site with enough room for tents and RVs. Most sites have trees suitable for hammock camping all along the creek.
There is potable water, firewood for sale, solar showers, and a bike wash stand all next to the covered communal area.
Each standard site can accommodate 2 people to keep space between groups and lessen the impact on the land. Sites 10 and 13 can each accommodate 6 guests. If you have more in your group, we recommend reserving an adjoining campsite.
Sites 1, 2 and 3 are off the main path to the left of the property, and still by the creek. Sites 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are all along the creek and gravel drive Site 10 is very private with creek access on three sides. Site 11 is private with creek access all along the front. Site 12 is up high on a hill, and Site 13 is open in the middle of the meadow.
Low Meadow Farms offers a serene and scenic camping experience, with many campers praising its peaceful environment, well-maintained sites, and proximity to nature. The hosts, Kat and Aaron, are noted for their friendliness and helpfulness, making guests feel welcomed and informed. The campsite's location near a creek adds a relaxing element, and the availability of clean facilities and firewood contributes to a comfortable stay. While some visitors mentioned challenges with navigation at night or during cold weather, the overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, making it a favored choice for return visits.
This was our second time staying here. Just like the last time, it was quiet and we enjoyed our stay. We stay here when visiting our daughter at UT. It’s very conveniently located to UT and also Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The porta pottie is clean, lots of firewood available for purchase, and easy to get to your site. Kat is very responsive and a pleasure to work with.
This stay was the second one at Low Meadow Farms. Just like the first time, it was peaceful and a great option to staying at a hotel while visiting our daughter at University of Tennessee. Kat and her husband stopped by to say hi and see if we needed anything. She was very accommodating with a late arrival last time we visited. She has been very responsive with any questions. The grounds are clean, well trimmed, clean porta pottie, and plenty of fire wood available.
It's still the best place ever.....it was the most quiet peaceful day just as it was like last year when I came and visited my childhood home!
