What is Fireside Camp + Lodge?

Fireside Camp + Lodge is a small, family-owned campground, lodging, and event venue located on 22 acres atop Sequatchie Mountain in Southeast Tennessee. We're minutes from Foster Falls, Denny Cove, Castle Rock, and some of the region's best hiking, climbing, and waterfall destinations.

Our goal is simple: create a peaceful place where people can slow down, spend time outdoors, and reconnect with nature.

Where do I camp?

Our campground offers dispersed camping. When you arrive, follow the gravel road to the back of the property and choose any open campsite in the camping field.

Picnic tables and fire pits are first come, first served. Please limit your group to one table and one fire pit when available so others may enjoy them as well.

Do I need a reservation?

You can pay in advance through Hipcamp, however reservations are not required and all camping is first come, first served.

All guests must pay before entering the property and complete the check-in instructions posted at the entrance kiosk.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes. Friendly, vaccinated dogs are welcome.

Dogs must remain on a leash at all times, without exception. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets and ensuring they do not disturb other guests, wildlife, or our animals.
