Great galmping site. Comfy beds, Jackery is a great touch. Restroom facilities are great. Grounds were quiet and secluded. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful, clean, wonderful hot shower! Bobby responded quickly with any questions we had and was extremely accommodating. If we ever come back to Knoxville Glamping here will be at the top of our list for places to stay :)

We've spent two nights on Thanksgiving in the Primero. It was refreshing and energizing experience. There was a lovely cat that walked on to our voices, we called her Cookie. Warm bathrooms on walkable distance are clean and everything that provided is in a great condition. The tent is equipped with a power bank, and a propane heater is available. However, there's no an electrical outlet to power corded devices, such as an electric heater.
This property was absolutely beautiful. Peaceful night sleep. Very clean, easy to navigate anywhere, everything spelled out in the information. I would definitely stay here again.
Glad we chose this, what a great stay- we didn’t need much and wanted to relax and that is what we got! Stayed dry in a storm and enjoyed the property. Bobby was very responsive when we had a question. Easy access to all Knoxville has to offer. Bathrooms and shower were super clean.
Very professional and well organized.. the landscape and view is absolutely beautiful.. it's we set up for us to enjoy and camp out safely. We love that he gave a walk thru to get familiar with all amenities.. We bring friends and family next time..
Managed to book this location at the last minute as my daughter's wedding was being held on the same property and it worked out great!! Thanks for making my life a bit easier.
This place was the most perfect little spot! My one note is that it was a little tricky to find, you can only see the GlampKnox sign coming from one direction, and we came from the other direction lol. Far enough out of town that it was so peaceful and beautiful, but a short drive from downtown if you want to explore Knoxville. There were others in another tent but still felt like we had our privacy. Wish we could have stayed more than one night! We’ll definitely be back for a longer stay.
My only complaint about this stay was the misleading title. They do provide heaters, but you have to bring your own propane or buy theirs for $50. Besides that everything else was great, the tent was super cute and the campground was easy to find.

Emma, we hope you had a great experience. I sent your a message in your inbox. With the price of propane, we do everything we can to keep the cost down for our glampers who may not need propane or have their own. We can’t offer it for free and remain profitable, we would be out of business. We did not hear from you during your stay and would have been happy to accommodate. If you are willing, we’d love to make this right as a 5 star experience from our other guests is how our staff keeps jobs and we stay open for others to enjoy GlampKnox. Please reach out.
It was exactly as advertised. Very simple check-in/out. Host was easy to work with. I will note that the tent was not entirely bug free (a few stink bugs in there), although it seemed to be mosquito-proof. So I wouldn’t book this unless you are comfortable with it having some “real camping” quality to it.

Stink bugs are seasonal, part of being outside when the doors open on the tent. We love our glampers and provide the top stays possible in East Tennessee glamping :)
A little dangerous getting up steps and walk. Very hot and no power cord or batteries for fan .
Ot was OK.

We have batteries for rent and provided the fan at no charge to this guest! We were not contacted to fix this issue or we would have responded immediately. Happiness of our glampers is TOP PRIORITY!
I greatly enjoyed my stay! I met great people during the weekend, read by the firelight, and stayed warm and dry through the night-despite the rains attempts otherwise. I found everything as described so there were no surprises. On Saturdays they often have a wedding (this happened during my stay) but that is clearly detailed in the information so that was no issue. They do a good job of keeping the spaces separate. The view of the mountains and the peacefulness of the location provided me a great exercise in simplicity and presence. Thanks again for everything!

Not exactly what I expected.
I fully admit this was likely my mistake and don’t want others to make a similar one!!! The tent was fine and as advertised, fan was charged, they supply a lantern and charger which was good. My main warning to others is that the 3 tents are extremely close together so if you have a group of loud drunk ladies nextdoor you will hear everything all night. Similar with the weddings(which we were warned about). So - definitely recommend staying here as long as you don’t expect solitude or quiet, an easy place to find and stay close to Knoxville which seemed safe.

Not what I call glamping
Wanted more privacy..picture was misleading..you share a very small space with 2 other tents..so there is NO privacy..no mention about the steep and slippery trek to get to the one shower and some free ice...annoyed when vrbo owners nick pick for every thing..glamping..in my opinion should include some firewood..I know how much these owners make up to 90 thousand on one prperty..all the fees are never mentioned in the cost of your stay....by the time you pay the fees..you have doubled the cost of your nights stay..will not be back...ever
We didn't stay long. We got there very late minutes before a thunderstorm. The yurt/tent we were in stayed completely dry and it was a relaxing sleep. We stopped at the stables for a shower and the place was gorgeous. We pet the horse that was in her enclosure along the path. Easy directions and a book with any info we needed was left in the tent.
