Secluded tent in Bankhead

At the foot of Bankhead National Forest, this farm on Wilderness Parkway is only a few miles from the Bankhead's most notable hikes.

Experience camping without the need to pack overnight gear and experience all that the area has to offer.

This listing is for the tent and linens. Only pay for what you need. Please be sure to look through the photos and add any amenities you would like to enjoy during your stay.
The space
The campsite is an all-weather tent in a half-acre field. There are no other tents or sites in close proximity. The farm is visible from this tent.

This site features a memory foam queen bed, and a full size futon.

This tent is 1/4 mile from the pond, barn, and bath house, and isn't your best choice if you want to be close to indoor plumbing and the farm. This tent, will offer hardly any road noise, mostly the sounds of nature.

The tent does not have power, but there are solar lights that will kick on at night and last until early morning. Additional camp lanterns are included at no additional charge. There is a private patio area with a fire pit. Fire wood is available to purchase. If you wish to collect any wood or sticks on the property, please do so. This will help our clean up efforts and save you some money as well! We do strictly ask that you do not bring firewood from another location. we do not want to risk spreading any diseases to the existing ecosystem that aren't already here. There are beautiful hemlock trees on the property, and these trees are part of a very delicate ecosystem in this area. These trees are at risk, and we take this very seriously.

There is a bath house with power and a hot shower located 1/4 mile from this site. Most guests prefer to drive to the barn and bath house. A composting toilet is provided near the tent for convenience. If you prefer indoor plumbing, you are welcome to use the restroom located inside the barn or bathhouse.
please be aware while this is GLAMPING, it is still a somewhat PRIMITIVE camping experience. the barn kitchen is available for use as well for cooking and storing food. Again, be aware that this is a shared space. Please label your items with a marker provided on the fridge if you wish to use the fridge.

We are a safe space for any guest regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. No one is discriminated against here as long as they are respectful to house rules, and other guests.

Short stay at Sipsey
Property was nice and secluded. It was just what we needed.The animals were friendly. Nearby hikes and waterfallswere great. The app wasn't working well so i had no communication with the host.
