Our Journey
As Ferncrest Ocoee comes to life, we are shaping it the way they’ve always traveled: intentionally, slowly, and with space for both adventure and rest.
We took over an existing campground and are thoughtfully breathing new life into it: refreshing cabins and bathhouse spaces while bringing in geodesic domes, wellness amenities, and forest trails that invite guests to slow down and settle in.
The Build Process (Happening Now)
This isn’t just a someday idea – Ferncrest Ocoee is being built right now. Here’s what’s coming:
9 geodesic domes and 3 modern cabins
Experience elevated outdoor camping with climate control, plush linens, and private outdoor spaces.
Adventure Southeast Tennessee
Minutes from the iconic Ocoee River, hiking, and mountain towns. Onsite, the campgrounds are lined with trails.
A camp store
Stocked with Ferncrest favorites and essentials to make your stay memorable forever.
Private and communal Amenities.
Wellness to bring you relaxation. Think cold plunges, hot tubs, and a sauna.
Every week the property is transforming, and by Summer 2026, the first guests will be welcomed under the trees at Ocoee.

A Personal Note
“A wife-and-husband team who traded the idea of “someday” for muddy boots and early mornings, turning a 25-acre stretch of Tennessee forest into a glampground. They're on the ground meeting contractors, walking the property, and getting each space ready for the next guest. Together, they’re building this place not as a project, but as part of their life.
We’re building this the way we live, one thoughtful step at a time. We’d love for you to be part of the very first chapter.”
