Our 300 acres has seen cattle and tobacco over the last century, and featured in the Christy book series in the early 1900's, before falling into neglect. Stories abound of moonshiners and cock fighters reveling in it's isolation. Purchased with a dream in 2004 we have slowly recovered the original fields, and developed our own trails, linking in and out of the Cherokee National Forest. From grassy lowland skirted by creeks to ridges of hardwood timber, our farm, now home to our artisanal herd of beef cattle, is an idyll away from the bustle. Visit the old graveyard, or try to find the old schoolhouse location. Bring your dogs and enjoy getting away from it all. Learn more about this land: Private campsite in secluded hardwood forest glade. Clear acre deep in the woods; room for many tents. Custom-built picnic table, fantastic fire circle. Potable water and firewood will be provided. Privy. Well-behaved dogs welcome. Camp is a short (1/8th mile) from parking.  Hike in, or we are happy to ferry gear/people up.   Surrounded by miles of hiking trails, both on the property and into the surrounding National Forest. Rolling to mountainous terrain, creeks, set within artisanal cattle farm. Trout fishing less than two miles away. Ten minute drive to hot pizza, and 35 minute drive to town of Hot Springs - rent a hot tub, good local restaurants. Twenty minutes to nearest boat put-in on French Broad River.  One hour from Dollywood, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We are excited to share our slice of paradise, and can help orientate any visitors with suggestions of trails to hike/bike/ride, and places to visit.Private campsite in secluded hardwood forest glade.

This is the spot to be if you are looking for a private and primitive location. Carrie was very welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure that we had everything we needed. Very beautiful and secluded site that offers plenty exploring opportunities.

Our New Top Spot!
10/10! This is definitely our new favorite camping spot and we plan to come back again. First off Carrie is an amazing host, very personable, and accommodating. The location is beautiful and I don't know how you could even think that you could do better than 300+ acres all to yourselves, especially if you love the outdoors and have dogs. This is the perfect spot to get away from it all, enjoy the outdoors, and enjoy time with your friends or alone. Highly recommend checking this out AND definitely purchase some of their farm raised beef at checkout- it's delicious also consider buying firewood from them as well.

A great primitive camping experiene
We absolutely loved camping on Carrie’s land! Highly recommend to anyone who loves a more primitive, private camping experience in the mountains. Our host was super helpful and accommodating, the hiking was beautiful and the farm dogs were a bonus. We definitely hope to return!

Stunning property, very welcoming hosts that provided firewood and a very secluded camping site. We loved seeing the cows and calves, and all kinds of bird noises in the morning. We will be back!!

My group loved camping here! The hosts were very generous and had everything prepared for us. The land was beautiful and we had plenty of room for a large group. We will be going back!
