1. Converted WWII Train Car
Price per night: From $171 for 4 people
Location: Maryville, nr Knoxville
This Converted WWII Train Car is easily one of my favorite places to go glamping in Tennessee purely for how unique it is.
I mean, how many people can say they’ve slept in a converted WWII train car?
The interior has been beautifully renovated to the highest standard – so much so that it’s pretty much an interior decorator’s dream!
It benefits from a queen-size bed, a living area with a TV, a full kitchen, a bathroom with a soaking tub, a dining area, and a study.
Basically everything you could possibly ever want and more!
And to top it all off, the outdoor space is just as special.
What guests say: “This place was AMAZING! Dean had a bottle of Prosecco chilling in the fridge for us along with some chocolate. On top of that, he had postcards that we could send to loved ones back home. The place is well worth the 5 stars without all of the extra hospitality, but those little things are what pushed it over the edge.”
2. Smoky Mountains Glamping Domes
Price per night: From $95 for 2 people
Location: Cosby, nr Knoxville
Smoky Mountains Glamping Domes is one of the more romantic glamping offerings in Tennessee, so if you want somewhere you can ramp up the romance, look no further!
These beautifully decorated domes are so spacious, airy, and stylish, to the point you’ll never want to leave them.
However, if you do, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views and plenty of great walks on their 140-acre farm.
Savor your meals on the picnic table, enjoy the warm propane fire pit, or just sit back and stargaze.
However you choose to spend your time, you’re guaranteed a great vacation!
What guests say: “This stay was 100% worth it. You get a beautiful view of the sunrise and sunset. It rained both nights, but there was something about sitting in the domes, listening and watching the rain that was truly magical. The domes are extremely well kept, and they even leave a little S’Mores kit.”
3. Canopy Ridge Safari Tents
Price per night: From $142 for 2 people
Location: Pigeon Forge, nr Knoxville
Want to feel like you’ve been transported to the plains of South Africa, but without the hefty price tag?
Canopy Ridge Safari Tents can help you achieve just that!
The tents themselves are pretty simple with just a double bed and a wood-burner to keep you toasty but this only helps to elevate the camping experience.
Outside you’ll find your private decking, outdoor shower, bathhouse, a fire pit, and a covered lounge with a coffee bar and propane grill.
All these elements come together to create a haven for you and your loved one away from the world!
What guests say: “Highly recommend this stay! My partner and I have not stopped talking about it since we left. The tent was beautiful and the perfect size. It’s nestled in the woods so you wake up to the sweet sounds of nature. There were people staying in other tents but we had so much privacy; never even saw the other guests. They truly thought of everything.”
4. Treehouse Grove Treehouses

From the white claw-foot bathtub to the outdoor kitchen to the spacious covered decking and fire pit, the outside space is to die for.
Luckily the romance continues inside with a cozy sleeping quarter that benefits from a comfy double bed, dreamy bedding, and intimate lighting.
Get ready to spend your time sipping wine by the fire, snuggling up on the couch with a good book, or running a bath at sunset. Heavenly!
What guests say: “If you need a place to reset and feel inspired… this is it. My favorite moments were spent getting to know Brian and Stephanie, walking the farm in the afternoons, hearing the rain on the roof, the bathhouse at any hour of the day, the green moss trails, the delicious blueberries, the stars at night, and cozying up with a book in the Spartan. All of it is magic.”
6. Mossy Forest Stargazing Hut
Price per night: From $85 for 2 people
Location: Liberty Hill, nr Knoxville
Mossy Forest Stargazing Hut is definitely one of the more back-to-basic glamping spots in Tennessee but this only means that it allows you to properly get back to nature.
Oh, and stargaze, of course! It’s in the name, right?
I couldn’t think of anything much more romantic than cozying up in the queen-size bed with a loved one stargazing through the transparent ceiling.
In fact, you can even stargaze from your roofless shower too!
After a great night’s sleep, enjoy their complimentary organic farm eggs, oatmeal, french press coffee, and tea for breakfast. Delicious!
What guests say: “Peaceful and simple place with lots of little touches and quirks (look out for all the funny signs!) Loved meeting the animals and sitting by the fire. There’s electricity in the hut, so a good step out into the wilderness without needing to be truly roughing it!”

Price per night: From $185 for 4 people
Location: Maryville, nr Knoxville
Little River Tiny House is easily one of my all-time favorite places to go glamping in Tennessee.

With loads of outdoor furniture, a hammock, and beautiful views of the river, I couldn’t think of anywhere I’d rather relax than on one of their two porches.
What guests say: “This chic tiny home is expertly made and full of thoughtful touches to delight guests day or night. The rooftop stargazing is gorgeous and watching the sunrise with coffee and little birds stopping by on the porch is so relaxing. The space is refreshing after all-day hikes in the mountains. That shower is 1000% a hiker’s dream.”
8. Sassy Springs Retreat Bell Tents
Location: Morrison, nr Chattanooga

Serenity House Treehouse is a seriously impressive structure.
And it gets even more impressive once you step foot into it!
Simple yet beautifully decorated, the interior decor marries the back-to-basics feeling you want from a treehouse with a luxury hotel suite that feels like a real treat.
The full-size kitchen is a particular highlight, as well as the loft queen-size bed.
The story continues outside with a spacious porch with outdoor furniture, and swing seats below, from which you can soak up the valley views.
However, don’t spend all your time at the treehouse because there are many walking trails, and a pond for fishing and swimming to discover, and horses, goats, and highland cows to meet!
What guests say: “This place exceeded all expectations… it really was a little piece of paradise. I couldn’t recommend this home strongly enough – if you’re looking for a quiet, secluded, beautiful place to stay, then look no further. Everything about this place was perfect, and we can’t wait to visit again.
10. The Roost Glamping Tent
Price per night: From $231 for 2 people
Location: Chattanooga
I’ve never really seen anything quite like The Roost Glamping Tent before which is why it absolutely deserves its place on this list of the best glamping spots in Tennessee.

The tent itself is modern and beautifully furnished with a full double bed, indoor seating, a fireplace, and a TV.
And at the back of your tent, you’ll find an amazing fire pit and seating area where you can toast marshmallows to your heart’s content!
What guests say: “This amazing treehouse tent made our trip. There were soooo many thoughtful touches.

11. Getaway Dale Hollow Cabin
Price per night: From $108 for 2 people

The large full-length window brings nature indoors and allows you to feel a part of the forest even when you’re inside.
Alongside your queen-size bed that’s perfectly placed to enjoy the views, you also have a well-equipped kitchen, dining area, and a luxurious en-suite packed into that small space.
You really have no reason to ever leave!
What guests say: “We loved our tiny cabin in the woods. This place is all about getting away in nature and unplugging. They even provide you with a box to put away your phones! We spent the days exploring the area which is beautiful. There are several parks in the vicinity that have waterfalls.”
12. Forest Gully Farms Hobbit Holes
Price per night: From $375 for 8 people
Location: Santa Fe, nr Nashville
Calling all Lord of the Rings fans! This is the best glamping site in Tennessee for you.

You’ll instantly feel like you’ve been transported to Middle Earth, whether you spend your days hanging out by the fire pit, hiking to the creek and waterfalls, or picking from their food forest and veggie garden.
You’ve got fifteen acres all to yourself so you can explore to your heart’s content!
What guests say: “Where do I even start? Between the hobbit holes, the gardens, and the wonderful bathhouse we felt so lucky to be here! I could live in that shower for days!

This Dreamy Tiny House is, well, pretty dreamy!
The house is beautifully decorated and it’s clear to see they’ve packed a lot of love into a small space.

14. Copperhill Glamping Tents
Location: Copperhill, nr Chattanooga
With hardwood floors, large queen-size beds, and comfortable furniture, the three tents at Copperhill Glamping are so well-equipped that it won’t feel like you’re glamping at all.
If you want to remind yourself where you’re sleeping, all you need to do is pull back the doors and settle down on your covered porch with seating for two. This is nature at its best!
Nearby you’ll find two large fire rings to cook up a feast, as well as a communal lodge building with a pool table, games, couches, gas grill, a large screen TV, and surround sound system.
What guests say: “Everything was so much more amazing than we expected. The tent and bathrooms were amazing and had everything we could possibly need! And the details took everything to the next level – from the fairy door on a tree by the pond, to the chandelier in the tent, to the river stone tiled shower.”
15. Treehouse Mountain Retreat Treehouses
Price per night: From $212 for 4 people
Location: Copperhill, nr Chattanooga
Any treehouse with a rope bridge leading up to it is a good treehouse in my books, and that’s why I can’t get enough of Treehouse Mountain Retreat Treehouses.
There are four amazing treehouses to choose from here: Rubicon, The Stamish Castle, La Paz, and The Dreamweaver.
They are all so amazing that I don’t think I could ever pick a favorite but don’t worry because they all benefit from amazing private porches with breathtaking views of the mountains.
And that’s all you could ever need, right?
What guests say: “We have stayed here three times. The treehouses are absolute magic for our 5-year-old and 8-year-old. There are a lot of times on vacations when you see pictures of the destination and think there is no way it can look that good. If anything, the pictures of treehouse mountain don’t do it justice.”
16. Camp Grits Campers
Price per night: From $59 for 2 people
Location: Cosby, nr Knoxville
Camp Grits Campers are pretty much the definition of ‘cute’.
There are two vintage campers to choose from, one of which is red and the other yellow, and they are just as adorable as each other!
Both enjoy wonderful woodland surroundings and shared usage of their bathhouse which benefits from a clawfoot tub.
In the colder months, you can light a fire under the bath and have yourself a ‘hillbilly hot tub’. Pretty unique, huh?
Top tip: ask for breakfast in advance, and you’ll get to enjoy eggs, milk, butter, and homemade bread. Delicious!
What guests say: “We loved the retro linen and little details like the mini-library of vintage nature books – in fact, we couldn’t fault the whole experience – from the hillbilly hot tub (a must!) to cooking our dinner over an open fire. Rosie was a great host and the homemade bread provided was delicious.”

This place is easily one of the most romantic places to go glamping in Tennessee!
The glamping site is off-grid with solar lights, campfire cooking, and no Wi-Fi, but this only forces you to disconnect from the world and reconnect with each other.
Which is exactly what you want from a glamping trip, right?
Get ready to cozy up on the bench swing with a glass of wine and a good book, and take in your surroundings.
What guests say: “This is definitely a hidden gem! Talk about an incredible host who has thought of every last detail – we wanted for nothing! The bed was comfortable, the tent was dry, the hot tub was amazing and the hot shower was awesome.!
