Private campsites & glamping in Whitwell, TN

Whitwell sits in the Sequatchie Valley between Chattanooga and the Cumberland Plateau, 30 minutes from downtown Chattanooga. It's the launch point for the area's most dramatic glamping: mountaintop treehouses and mirror cabins with three-state views at Bolt Farm, and Amish-built treehouse cabins deep in the Tennessee River Gorge. Small town, big scenery.

Practical notes: the Sequatchie Valley is a designated scenic byway — the drive itself is part of the trip. Prentice Cooper State Forest offers 35 miles of hiking trails minutes from both Whitwell glamping stays.
