Little Bone Cave campground is in the mountains of Tennessee with hiking trails and a beautiful view located on 16 acres. This campground adjoins Bone Cave State Natural Area located in Van Buren County. Big Bone Cave is a 400 acre natural area with trails and a cave that contained bones of a giant ground sloth discovered in 1811 and is maintained by Rock Island State Park. The cave is not currently open to the public. Rock Island State Park (swimming, fishing and hiking) is only 6 miles from the campground and Fall Creek Falls State Park (swimming, fishing, hiking and home of the Annual Mountaineer Folk Festival) is a beautiful 25 mile drive through the winding roads and mountains of Van Buren county. A public boat ramp maintained by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is two miles away to access the Caney Fork River. Come enjoy with friends and family. Campsite #1, "Valley View" is a Rv with 30 amp electric with sewer and water or it can be a primitive campsite that is a wide open space and is approximately 1-2 acres with a beautiful view overlooking the valley below. We do have electric, sewer and water 340 gl tank with a hose, a picnic table and a fire ring at this site. if you'd prefer, you can locate a spot of your choosing off the beaten path anywhere within our 16 acres (ask the hostess for details).

We love coming to this site! This was our second time. Everything is well setup, views are incredible. We wandered around the woods and love what is coming together on your other site. My bestie and I were already talking about a girls weekend once it is available! As a bonus, the local Haunted Trail was taking place down the road and the kids loved being able to attend on our last night. Thank you Melissa, we will be booking with you whenever we wish to camp :)

Serenity NOW!
This location was amazing! Envision being as close to heaven as you can possibly be! Standing on top of the mountain looking out at the rolling hills and down into the valley. Peaceful and serene! The drive up was beautiful yet interesting, the grade is quite steep and the path is windy, nothing unusual to those who are used to the hills of KY/TN/WV. The weather wasn’t great so the visibility added to the narrow roadways. We arrived at the top without issues, the vast space was wonderful, the hook-ups were perfect…. And let’s talk about this outhouse! I’ve never camped somewhere that the bathroom facility was a repeat topic of conversation, in a good way! This outhouse is the cutest, has the cleanest toilet, and is maintained so well that you just wanna leave the door open (for the view) and enjoy your morning business! Pictures are guaranteed! There’s even a cute journal included for your reading (and writing) pleasure! I’m pretty sure I’m gonna find a way to have one on my property soon! The host - she was amazing too! Instant communication EVERY time I sent a message! Very respectful and accommodating! 12/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! We WILL be back!

Will return if in this area again!
Absolutely beautiful. Quiet. Right off the road but really tucked away from any main roads so zero road noise. Wide open yet very private. 2 locations on the property for electrical hookups, one is central in the main wide open area, which also has a hose for potable water. The other is near the tree line closer to the great little outhouse - very clean! There's also a large fire ring with great chairs and giant round cooking pit with a grate - perfect for large cookouts! Photos do not do justice for this gorgeous view overlooking a large valley. And the stars on clear nights... bring your telescope, binoculars, etc. It's spectacular! Rock Island State Park is about 5 miles away & a must see!! Adventuring down in the expansive gorge and splashing in the water at powerful Twin Falls on the other side of the gorge was purely awesome! Be sure to stop at the park's visitor center for a map so you can navigate the park, sites, & trails easier. Melissa was the perfect host - gave us total privacy but also great communication through the app - prompt and informative responses to all my various questions - including best things to see & do in the area. I definitely recommend this spot for those who prefer privacy, nature, & majestic views over "peopley" multi-site campgrounds. ☆

This is the best site that we have been able to find in Tennessee. Just right down the road from Rock Island and a quick trip to so many more hiking spots and waterfalls. The most breathtaking view we’ve had out of any Hipcamp so far. All of the amenities Were top-notch. The host, Melissa, was very helpful with directions to us and making sure we had everything we needed. We loved it so much that we got home and booked a trip for the fall.
