Running Water Creek is a unique, fully off grid campground just 20 minutes to downtown Chattanooga. We have 80+ campsites spread out over 120 acres. Most of the roads are accessible in any small car, but some roads require 4x4 (they're marked with a sign). We have a bath house with toilets, showers, and sinks and even offer hot water! Our well and cabins are all solar powered as we are not on the electric grid.
Some info about the property:
-we DO NOT have water or power hookups
-we have gravel roads with a 5 MPH speed limit on the property (if you drive too fast the roads will seem rough)
-we are right next to a highway and train tracks so there will be some noise (some days are better than others and we have no way of predicting how many trains will/will not go by)
-none of our campsites have picnic tables (please plan accordingly)
-most campsites have fire rings built, but if you choose a site without one you need to build your own
A little scarry drvung up and over the failroad trax the better entrance was the 2nd entrance the road was more level getting a camper in and out .the site was open and very nice

Plenty of space/area to camp. Nice hot shower which felt great after camping in 18* temps in VA the night before.

Train noise is awful

Not sure we recommend this place. The noise from the trains was awful. About every 2 hours all night long. Only got a couple hours of sleep from the noise. Actually made our travel trailer shake.

Decent Place to Bed Down

I didn't spend too much time at the campground, got in late and left early as I was passing through. What stuck out to me was that the campground facilities were well kept, and the host was very easy to work with.
One thing that would keep me from rating it higher would be the several trains that came through rather noisily waking me up a few times. Maybe bring some ear plugs if you are noise sensitive.
Another thing to consider when visiting is that the road leading up to the campground crosses a raised railroad that is steep on both sides. You should exercise some caution. The night I came and the morning I left were both dark, foggy and with occasional rain which made driving more hazardous. When approaching the railroad tracks I couldn't see the road over the hood of my mid size truck once I began to get half way.

Tomas’s land was perfect, after 10+ of driving
Only five minutes from 24.
Lots of train traffic, but was acceptable for the price.

Great place! Will definitely be back! We had a big campsite, plenty of room. Bathhouse was really clean and nice also!
