Opening March 1 for the 2025 camping season! Three years ago our multi-generational family decided to go on an adventure. We had talked about moving to the woods for years, but finally decided to turn our dreams into reality. After hiking through what felt like every property for sale over 100 acres in North Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, we finally found the perfect spot. Why do we call our property Whippoorwill Woods? Did you know that whippoorwills don’t nest in trees? They lay their eggs on the ground in the forest. They’re birds that love camping! As soon as we heard the whippoorwills start singing in the spring, we knew it was the perfect name. We’re so excited to share our property with campers who love nature as much as we do. We specifically set up the campsites to give as much privacy as possible. We hope you’ll come visit and soak up the bird songs, the wind in the trees, and the beautiful sunsets over the mountains. We have 20 acres of savannah grassland full of native plants and wildflowers and over 80 untouched acres full of awesome rock formations and creeks with waterfalls available for you to hike. There's a stocked fish pond for catch and release fishing and a gorgeous view overlooking the Cumberland Plateau and the Sherwood Valley. Experienced and beginner campers are welcome! We live on one side of the property, so we’re available to assist (setting up tents for the first few times is no joke!) or we’re happy to give you as much space and solitude as you need. We have three campsites available in the native savannah grassland, and one that is a "hike-in and choose your favorite spot in the woods" site. We have a porta-potty available, but if you're hiking in, you'll want to bring some WAG bags with you. If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can do to help, don’t hesitate to ask! We look forward to your visit! The Jansohn and Combs Families

Lower Meadow Site #3

This was a beautiful camping spot with nice views. Kristine and her family provided us extra water and wood. There were coyotes howling in the forest during night but nothing of concern as they never approached the camping site. Kids enjoyed roaming around during the day time and we took some great pictures. The site itself was sufficiently spaced from the nearby camp and Porta was super clean.

LOVED this campsite. We had the best time and it still felt private even with another campsite nearby. The location is BEAUTIFUL and the site we stayed at was perfect. We would absolutely come back. Fall is the best time to come stay here the leaves were beautiful!

The views were breathing during the sunset! This place was extremely peaceful and only near one other campsite. If you’re looking for an “off the radar” peace and quiet camping trip with great views, I highly recommend. Kristine was also a great host and made us feel very welcome! I would definitely stay again.

Lower Meadow Site #3

We loved our stay here! There was a beautiful view of the mountainside, and you were just far away enough to feel secluded from the other campers. On top of all of that, I think that was the best porta-potty I have ever used in my life. It was very clean and it didn't stink like a normal porta-potty does! Overall, I would definitely recommend this campsite to others!

Beautiful site! The way the wheat/grass is mowed gave us a large campsite but completely separated us from other campers. Peaceful, beautiful, would 100% come back
