Nestled just a short drive from Nashville, this campsite offers a peaceful retreat with beautiful views and a touch of rustic charm. Campers appreciate the quiet and privacy, with many noting the convenience of being close to the city yet feeling secluded. The road to the site can be steep, so a capable vehicle is recommended, but the sunrise views are often described as worth the climb. Some campers mention a need for clearer signage and better maintenance, but overall, the host receives praise for being helpful and accommodating.

The camp areas I saw were roomy and had flat areas for set up. There was a water/well available at the spot we camped at. Very quiet and peaceful. There was some old pieces of equipment and stuff around the area that could be a hazard to younger children. Campsite was up a steep hill and then down a little were we stayed. Stayed in march so foliage and trees not bloomed yet but can imagine would be very woodsy and beautiful.

Great location, great views, and quiet. Would absolutely stay again, we stayed all week and worked in downtown and looked forward to getting back every night. We had no issues up or down the driveway but it could be intimidating for the faint of heart. Great host and very helpful.

Great spot! Close enough to Nashville for convenience and far enough away for all the peace and quiet you’ll need!

Spectacular view. Definitely heed the host’s advice on using 4WD capable vehicle on gravel driveway. But the climb is worth it. Amazing opportunity to see sunrise.
