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).

MountainView Rock Island Campground
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.

Amazing Location
Amazing location with a beautiful view of the hills and stars. The chairs were comfortable and sitting around the fire pit watching the stars make their way across the sky was very relaxing. And the outhouse is just perfect. Extremely clean and sanitary with real toilet paper. And the host is quick to respond to texts. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

An ideal spot for stargazing.
We had a fantastic experience at MountainView Rock Island! We set up our tent and enjoyed a campfire while grilling hamburgers. Originally planning to stargaze during a meteor shower, we were instead treated to a spectacular thunderstorm due to changing weather. The site's isolation and lack of light pollution made for amazing views. The amenities were excellent, and the overall experience was both lovely and memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy nature and tranquility.
