Heartstone Campground

Songbirds and crickets provide the soundtrack at this primitive campground set in the woods near Waynesboro. Heartstone operates without hookups or electricity, limiting RVs to 25 feet and requiring dry camping for all visitors. A creek runs through the property, deep enough for sitting but not swimming, while four-stall restroom facilities and outdoor shower stalls handle basic needs.

The gravel access road leads to sites equipped with fire rings and picnic tables, with firewood available on the property. Cell coverage varies by carrier in this wooded location, though a landline serves emergency needs. Buffalo Bud's Kayaks, Canoes & Campground sits six miles west for campers wanting river access with more amenities.

Heartstone Campground - REAL Camping in the Tn Woods

What a hidden treasure! We had so much fun! It really is in the woods, complete with songbirds to wake you up and crickets to sing you to sleep. The creek makes a relaxing backdrop to your campfire time at night. The creek is deep enough to sit in, but not swim. It’s very reasonably priced, pretty, and SO worth the drive!

The campground owners are friendly and take great care of the place and campers, but they don’t hang around all the time. They obviously love their place because it was tidy and neat.

The “outhouse” is a four stall building - very clean and private. The owners make sure to think of everything you would need (and a few little extras) We took showers with our solar bags in a outdoor little stall built on a hill. It was so cool to shower “outside”! There is plenty of firewood around the campground, and each site has a fire ring, and a picnic table. There are plenty of trash cans throughout.

Heartstone is a primitive campground, with no hook-ups or electricity. They only allow dry camping for trailer campers. I’m pretty sure the limit for a Camper is 25’. Cell phone signals are spotty depending on your carrier, but they have a land line for emergencies. Welcome to off grid camping!

Although it feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere there are actually stores and restaurants about 15 minutes away in the towns of Hohenwald, or Linden, or Waynesboro. The Buffalo River is only about 5 minutes away where you can go canoeing or floating, and the Tennessee River is about 30 minutes drive. It’s also near Amish communities where you can buy locally made and grown items. Nashville and Huntsville are both about an hour and a half away, depending which way on Hwy 65 you go.

We really loved it there, and will definitely make it a regular stop this year. Hope this helped!
