Blackberry Blossom Campground

Late Summer of 2008, Tent Campground COMING SOON!

Our family will be offering a unique opportunity to share with you. We’re building a family focused, eco-friendly, tent campground. It'll be different from any camping experience you’ve ever had. Most of our campsites are creekside, all are under the cool forest canopy of Tennessee's Appalachian mountains. All sites are huge with plenty of privacy to stretch out.

When you arrive, you'll park at the camp store, we'll deliver your belongings by trailer to your site while you unwind and leisurely stroll the mulched trail to your site. No car noise, just the sound of nature, a child laughing, a cookpot clanging. Occasionally you'll hear a donkey brae in the distance, or the sound of a train passing through Unicoi, 15 miles away.

Our easy to moderate hiking trails lead directly into the Cherokee National Forest. They're filled with native plant and endangered wildflower viewing opportunities. Rare orchids, medicinal plants, moss carpets, and gorgeous wildflowers abound in the cool, moist forest. Our goal is to protect, learn from, and educate other people with what God has gifted and entrusted us with.

Want to try tent camping but don't have the gear? We'll offer rental equipment and fully set-up tent site options so all you bring are personal items and groceries. No fuss, no crazy packing, no setting it all up, just come and enjoy! How's that for Simple?

This creekside site is large enough for several tents.Large, private sites are our goal.

You'll be able to visit our camp store for handmade quality crafts, quilts, candles, soap, local mountain art, jewelry, and twig furniture. Most things will be made here on the farm.

In season, our farm offers juicy, sweet blackberries, raspberries, naturally grown produce, plants, herbs and flowers. Our U-Pick berry operation should be open in July.

Enjoy our 100 acres of mountain heaven. Leave with beautiful, peaceful memories.

Pull up a camp chair, dip your tootsies in the cold mountain creek water, watch the kids find salamanders and crayfish under beautiful, colorful rocks. We hope to offer "walk-in movies" at the camp store at dusk. Bring your camp chair or blanket, spread out on the grassy bank of the pond and enjoy a family movie. Stars are easily seen in our night sky with no city lights to wash them out. Bring your telescope, you'll be amazed!

The campground store will have programs-in-a-bag for self teaching or join one of our amateur naturalist-led hikes or programs.
