You'll relish in the quiet and beauty of the rural rolling foothills of Appalachia in mid-south TN. 20 minutes from any town so prepare en route. Route 99 splits the 17 acres with retreat center on one side and an 11.5 acre campground with significant river front property On The Buffalo. This is in Lewis county - of the Lewis and Clark adventurers. The Buffalo River is a class 1 and sometimes 2 river perfect for kayaking. Ask about add on options like a tour and story about the camp and animals or even a pottery lesson or art workshop.

Tiny Dreamer Homestead

9 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Hornsby, TN

Welcome to Tiny Dreamer Homestead. If you are traveling through or just want to get away, we would love to host you! The land is mowed down, lush green with some trees in the middle and just all around beautiful. I just added 4 gravel Rv pads and gravel paths around the homestead as well as 6 large wildflower gardens. Right now there are no activities on the land. Just a place to stay if someone wants to camp or you can walk on the paths. If you have a golf cart, you can ride those on the property. I do own 22 chickens which are a delight and I sell farm fresh eggs. Produce coming eventually. I also rent my tiny house on wheels on Airbnb. The camp sites have not been broken in yet so the spots are not in a designated area yet. There are 4 tent camp spots to choose from. The photos you see are the areas you can choose from. I supply a fire pit for your use during your stay.

The best camping near Pickwick Landing State Park guide

Overview

About

If you’re a water-lover, Pickwick Landing State Park is sure to float your boat. The lake in high summer will be chock-full of motor vessels, but also of catfish, crappie, bluegill, stripes and sauger, making it a mecca for fishing enthusiasts. Got a competitive side? Or just like to watch? There are some HUGE fishing tournaments here (and we’re not just talking from mouth to tail). If you opt for a drier sport, the park hosts a golf course. If you’re just looking to chill out in nature, there are three swimming beaches and primitive camping on the north side of the lake. There’s something for everyone, even if you’d rather hang out in the AC.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Pickwick Landing State Park is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer months bring warmth and a full bloom of park life, but also larger crowds. Winters can be chilly, making some activities less enjoyable. Plan your trip outside of holiday weekends to avoid the busiest times.

Know before you go

Check the park's official website for any alerts on closures or safety advisories before your visit.
Ensure you have a valid fishing license if you plan to fish, as regulations are strictly enforced.
Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.
Be mindful of park wildlife; observe from a distance and do not feed the animals.
Take advantage of the available facilities, including picnic areas and restrooms, to make your visit comfortable.
