WE WELCOME CAMPERS OF ALL KINDS!
Located just 90 minutes southeast of Nashville, Bigfoot Adventures offers 500 acres for tent and RV camping. Escape to the great outdoors while enjoying family activities on the zipline course, biking through the East Tennessee hills, or exploring the property & waterfalls! Looking to catch a concert at The Caverns? Bigfoot Adventure’s fleet of shuttle vehicles offers campers a convenient ride directly to The Caverns.
Our Bigfoot RV Park & Campground has a variety of amenities including a bathhouse and showers, RV water and dump stations, 30/50 AMP hookups, more than 25 camper hookups that are all pull through and 80x40, a disc golf course, and a zipline attraction.Plus, the campground at Bigfoot Adventure and Baggenstoss Farm is equipped for all camping styles, including tents and campers. We have over 500 acres of land, so you can choose the perfect spot to pitch your tent.
My family and I stayed long term at this campsite for almost a year. And I even worked at the campground. The views at the campground are beautiful and most of all the long term campers are like an extended family but that’s the best thing the facility has to offer. Once I quit working there (due to the hostile work environment and how the owner treated me and his employees) the new management in the office is extremely rude. And to get the bathrooms cleaned you have to text/call the office and tell them the bathrooms are dirty. They have been saying they were getting laundry facilities for over a year and there still isn’t one. They have a gate to the property that doesn’t work and the owner has not fixed it and there has been some theft recently. Trust me you can go to Sasquatch farms a lot cheaper and have better service.
Btw a lot of the 5 star reviews are from current employees to try to bump the rating up.
Has potential. Campground is filled with good ideas, poorly executed. Seems like owner’s first time doing a campground. Lots of little mindless mistakes...
Huge area, but the RV spots are very close together. Lame when you are surrounded by ATVers with dune buggies. Some guy last night sat in his buggy next to us listening to a loud broadcast of a preacher speaking in tongues. No thanks.
Fire rings are oddly placed at end of grass pads, next to main road. Again, no hopes of any privacy or space, despite being set in a huge field.
Great looking stage, but why is it at the top of a hill, instead of at the bottom? Contradicts natural amphitheater concept.
Half of the RV spots are not level. Insist on one at top of hill that is level.
Roads are paved with loose, large gravel. Needs finer aggregate and needs to be walked in and compacted.
Why build a bath house with only 1 shower for men and 1 for women. You already paid for the building. The incremental coat to add more showers is minimal.
They have a cool location. Big open grass field in close proximity to So. Cumberland Park, Monteagle, and Sewanee. Great wifi. Acceptable cell coverage.
Set up a tent here at a beautiful spot in the wooded area. It had a rock fire ring. Ice and wood can be purchased. $10 a bundle, first bundle is free with site. The women at the welcome area were super sweet staff. Right now there is 1 men's and 1 women's bathroom. Brand new!! Looks amazing and CLEAN! Each bathroom has a sink, toilet, and a spacious shower. Great water pressure too. Only downside is that only 1 person can be using it so 2 people max for the whole campground can be using the bathroom at the same time. Otherwise beautiful place, beautiful views, and a great place to stay!! They are building more bathrooms too for future use.
Full disclosure, I've never camped before this last weekend so I have no basis for comparison. Having said that, the setting for this campground is gorgeous. The grounds are immaculate, as is the bathroom facility (Pro-tip:take a roll of toilet paper with you, it goes faster than they can keep up with.)
I'm not sure what Bigfoot has to do with camping, and while it's not a complaint, I wonder if they would be better served by downplaying the mythical beast angle and playing up the incredible location and surroundings instead.
We stayed at the campground because of its proximity to the Pelham Caverns concert facility. Due to a last minute cancellation by the artist, I never even saw the caves, but I wasn't too upset since I got in a nice, vigorous hike around the area to see a creek, waterfall and a spectacular view of a gorge and valley. Had the humidity been less oppressive, we would have been game for the zip lines, but weather dictated time in the shade catching up on our reading.
It's clear this is a popular destination for RV and trailer owners, the spaces were almost all full. The sense of community among RV owners was obvious and respectful. I was really intrigued by The Farmhouse and would love to book a stay there having spent a weekend on the property. As a first-timer, I walked away very impressed and would absolutely return for another visit.
Nice RV campground with hookups, and lots of tent sites. RV sites were very nice, although little shade. We also used the shuttle service to the Caverns for a concert, which was convenient but didn't get us back until 2 hours after the concert ended.
