Greeter Falls Campground

Campers venturing across Tennessee have access to hiking, boating, fishing, biking, rock climbing and picnicking across 56 state parks, enough variety to satisfy any adventurer’s soul. With terrifically high Appalachian peaks and plunging caverns, Tennessee travelers can get a sense of the sublime landscape that inspired music legends from Nashville to Memphis by camping in Tennessee. 


East Tennessee is home to a part of the oldest mountain range in the world, the Great Smoky Mountains. As the name suggests, the peaks are often shrouded in fog, but that doesn’t make the view from Clingmans Dome any less spectacular. At 6,643 feet, Clingmans Dome towers as the highest point in Tennessee and the third highest point east of the Mississippi River. Make sure to say hi to the hardcore hikers, many people hiking the entire Appalachian Trail will stop at this unforgettable lookout. 


A clear day at the dome observatory provides views as far as 100 miles. But explorers camping in Tennessee should plan on hiking their way up to the point, the roadway that leads to the observatory closes during inclement weather and from Dec. 1 to March 31 every year. 


If you’re camping with the kids and they’re looking for more occupation than your campsite offers, many of the natural attractions in Tennessee are also family friendly. Lookout Mountain is only minutes from Chattanooga and offers several world-famous sites like Rock City and the See Seven States point. 


All the mountain peak trails may leave the heights-averse camper less than enthused. But Tennessee has something for everyone. Also at Lookout Mountain, but plummeting beneath ground level, is where you’ll find Ruby Falls, the largest and deepest underground waterfall in the nation. 


Scenic views and dramatic natural landscapes are part and parcel for any Tennessee camping adventure, as long as you know where to look. Camping in Tennessee can be done right with The Dyrt to guide you along your trails!

Bear Bluff Retreat above Center Hill Lake

Adorable cottage in a tranquil, picturesque setting on a private lake in the spectacular South Cumberland Mountains.

Delightful and cozy, this 2022 custom built 800 square foot two bedroom cottage will be your sanctuary from reality.

Secluded and snuggled in the trees, on the shore of your own private 3 acre lake, you  will awake only to the sounds of the birds singing and the breeze whispering in the leaves. You'll fall asleep to the sounds of frogs and crickets, an occasional owl and perhaps the glorious sound of the beautiful whip-poor-will. And just think of the incredible stargazing you can enjoy lying on a blanket by the lake! 

Designed with a crisp, yet gently modern flare, the downstairs bedroom has a king size bed, the upstairs loft has two queens. Large, gourmet style kitchen so that you can prepare the bass you've caught in the lake. The great room is lofty, airy and bright and brings in the beautiful views of the lake. Large elevated porch with comfy chairs, gives expensive views up and down the lake and the woods on the far side. And that sunrise!  This is your private haven away from the world! Don't miss it!

The large stone fire pit is lakeside and surrounded by comfy Adirondack chairs. Picnic table for family meals by the lake.

This beautiful 3 acre lake is walkable all the way around the perimeter through the quiet woods of over 9 acres, with wildflowers, and beautiful native plants and trees along the way. Only one other cottage has access to the lake and property and it is discreetly tucked away out of sight. If you're lucky you will see a great blue heron fishing! Or a family of deer pausing on the shore for a drink. Keep your eyes peeled, our mountains are known to have bald eagles!

Pack a picnic lunch and walk to the other side and enjoy the solitude!

You are welcome to bring your kayak and fish to your heart's content, you will find bass, brim, crappie and catfish. One end of the lake would be suitable for shoreline casting. Please note that the lake does not have a beach, but is surrounded by  protective wetland  along most of its shoreline. You can launch your kayak easily, however it is not suitable for wading or swimming. 

The cottage is located down a long gravel driveway, private with no close neighbors.

Just minutes away from the majesty of the new Savage Gulf  State Park. This newest Tennessee State Park has over 30 miles of hiking for all skill levels, glorious waterfalls, and magnificent overlooks where you can see for miles. 

A few minutes down the road is charming Beersheba Springs, and this entire village is on the National Historic register and offers a lovely walk amongst its many mid 1800s residences. 

The beautiful town of McMinnville is only 23 miles away, and offers outstanding restaurants, river kayaking and fishing, waterfalls, quaint shops, caving tours, music venues and additional state parks. The unique and popular music venue, The Caverns, and the famous Bonnaroo festival are both a short scenic drive from the cottage. 

There are several more towns, each with their own unique offerings, with many seasonal activities, farmers markets and special events ! There is never a shortage of adventures here in our beautiful mountains, where nature, not civilization, still rules!

We came to this magical place to found a self-reliant, intentional eco-community when I retired from corporate life in 2006. It's called the Village on Sewanee Creek, named after the creek 800 feet below the bluff where we are located. There are now a dozen homesteads here and a small thriving community. Access to waterfalls abound!!

I traveled the world as a senior executive for Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin' Donuts, Papa Johns, Blockbuster, 7-Eleven and other retail franchises, making the world safe for Pizza, Ice Cream, Pancakes Video Rentals and American convenience. And I was ready for something more fufilling. I scouted for a place of exquisite natural beauty and I found it here. I bought way too much land just before the real estate bust and learned how to turn a nice fortune into a very small one.

I faced challenges and had lots of fun. Now I want to share our experience. It's the Village 2.0 for guests. Who knows, you may decide to stay. Or not. Life in the city is OK as long as you can get away frequently.

I'm convinced if you love nature and the outdoors, this is the best place to celebrate it.
