Summary:
At Olde English Farm, we have 90 acres of land at the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest and Appalachian Mountains.
While you are staying with us, take some time to relax and experience our serene property. Youll enjoy drive up access to your campsite. It is a short walking distance to our spring fed creeks and 3 acre fishing pond. Its stocked with Bass and Blue Gill year round. We maintain miles of hiking trails for you and your dogs to enjoy throughout the property. Unwind in total peace by a campfire or on the hammock each evening, gaze up at the stars, and be on the look-out for the many deer, and wildlife that share our little slice of heaven.
The campsite is very private yet accessible to many amenities and activities. We are a 15 minute drive to Tellico Plains, a small town with shopping, river side restaurants, spectacular Waterfalls, the Cherohala Skyway, Cherokee National Forest Hiking, Wineries and Trout Fishing at the Tellico Trout Hatchery. Kayakers are drawn to the Class III-IV waters on the Tellico and Bald Rivers. Just a short one hour drive away is the famous Ocoee river which is home to some of the best whitewater rafting in the country.
25 minutes away from us is Sweetwaters Antique District, the Lost Sea Adventure that offers a unique Cave Experience, Sweetwater Valley Cheese Farm, and Tellico Lake where you can dine on the water or rent a Pontoon Boat for a day. Our campground provides the perfect base camp for a day trip to the Great Smoky Mountains, Dollywood (2 hour drive) and many other fantastic attractions.

The Space:
Mountain Hideaway with Creeks & Fishing Pond in the foothills of the Cherokee National Forest!
Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with farmers, ranchers, and other property owners to offer unique outdoor accommodations on beautiful private land. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! You'll have the entire campsite to yourself, as you'll be the only Campers enjoying this piece of paradise.
Each campsite includes a 10'x12' safari-style canvas tent on a raised platform, and you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed inside (each site is different, see photos for the exact setup). Larger groups can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided (you’re welcome to bring your own camping gear too). You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night.
What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling
-Bedding and pillows
-Lanterns and lighting
-Firewood for the campfire (or purchase directly from your CampKeeper)
-Water
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property.
If a CampKeeper submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper’s property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
Occupancy: Max occupancy refers to the total number of campers allowed at the site during your reservation. We welcome campers with larger parties, but you may need to bring extra camping gear of your own in addition to the tent that is already provided. Please plan accordingly.
Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. Line the bucket with a CleanWaste bag supplied at the camp (or another appropriate plastic bag) prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. We got this idea from bathrooms used on NASA spaceships, and we've used the Tentrr Loo countless times ourselves- don't worry!
Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.
Tentrr Extras:
These are other amenities, services, or activities that may be provided by your CampKeeper for an additional fee. Please let us know in advance if you'd like to add these to your booking so that we can process payment. Availability of any Extras are not guaranteed and must be confirmed at least 24 hours prior to check-in.

Interaction with Guests:
In the age of social distancing, isolated time can still be quality time - especially when you’re unplugged and out in nature - and we want you to know that the Tentrr team and our hosts are working together to make sure you have a safe and relaxing experience. Our hosts have been doing a great job ensuring our campsites are clean and spotless for your arrival. We ask that you do your part as well - maintain social distancing, clean up after yourselves, and leave no trace - so that everyone in our camping communities can enjoy these cherished outdoor spaces.
To limit the potential impact of community spread during the Covid-19 pandemic, we are encouraging our campers and hosts to adopt self-check in procedures whenever possible. To make self check-in easy, Tentrr provides a map to your site and driving directions in an email sent out a few days before your reservation. Please refer to this guide to get to your campsite. As a reminder, it is good practice to give your host a head's up on your estimated arrival time a few days beforehand. If you need any assistance, you can reach out to your host through the contact information provided in your confirmation email.
