Get Lost or Find Yourself. Sway Camping is a private, Off Grid camping experience in Rock Island TN. Situated between Isha Yoga center, Fall Creek Falls, and Rock Island state park, this property is something special. Each campsite offers a private space perfect for getting away, or large enough for family and groups. Pet Friendly property with lots of room to be a part of nature along the beautiful Rocky River. Camp along the river or up in your own private forest. One of the darkets skies around so be ready for some stargazing at night by the fire. This is a property I purchased in 2018 to create a camping experience that reflected the image of camping as a kid. This isn’t a "hotel without walls." This is real camping. No phone signal. No electric wires. Just nature and beauty in a quiet environment. Get lost or find yourself relaxing along the Rocky River. Stay in a hammock, a tent, camper, RV, or one of our cabins. Privacy and freedom is what we are about. Pet friendly camping that should be shared, but please don't tell everyone you know. Only your favorite people.. Then come camp!

Our recent trip to Hammock Sway was nothing short of amazing. If you’re seeking complete solitude and a serene escape into nature, this is the perfect spot. The peace and tranquility were unmatched, allowing us to fully unwind and disconnect from the busyness of everyday life. A special shoutout to the host, Chris, who continues to go above and beyond to make every visit exceptional. His thoughtful touches and welcoming demeanor make the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it’s helpful guidance or ensuring every detail is taken care of, Chris truly sets the bar high for hospitality. We highly recommend Hammock Sway to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Off-grid camping with amazing views
Beautiful land with amazing views of the stars! We enjoyed the short hike to the River, and the hike through Sway Forest. We were driving a ‘92 Ford Econoline RV (26ft) and the terrain was challenging for us to navigate. Chris was communicative and provided moral support when we got stuck on our way in!

Sway Forest Private Camp
Quiet, beautiful place
I loved how easy it was to book. Chris met me and helped direct me to my camping spot which was in the middle of a pine forest. Very private, clean, quiet. I'd go back there again!
