Welcome to our new campground. We are family owned and operated. Carolyn and I are both educators. I was a high school principal for over 18 years and retired June 2017. Carolyn is a local artist and continues to be a high school art teacher. We invite you to stay at our campground where you can experience llamas & other unique animals. We have raised llamas for over 21 years now. We purchased a dilapidated 50 year-old mobile home park next to our farm and "re-purposed" it into a quaint little 34-site campground. We were able to keep the numerous 50 year-old maple trees for shade throughout the park and blended it with our 19 acre llama farm with woods & pastures.
Building this unique and intimate campground infused with beautiful llamas, storytelling, fiber arts, and local historical culture, has been a labor of love for us. Please join us as we continue adding amenities and activities to the park to make your stay "enjoyable, educational, and unique."
Additional information about the park can be found on the "Amenities" Page. You can also find us by googling "RV parks near me" or "campgrounds near me". We look forward to welcoming you to our unique campground community. Check out our farm/campground interview when we were building the campground.
Our campground is on a working llama farm. We provide a large 30' x 60' organic box garden for the campers to enjoy and pick fresh vegetables for the camper's table. Jerry is a Master Gardener and plants a variety of vegetable, herbs, and flowers each spring. We compost our llama manure and fill the boxes with 100% aged llama compost. Due to the rich compost, we don't use any fertilizers or insecticides in the garden. It is totally ORGANIC! As one camper said, "it's like tomatoes on steroids." Make reservations now to camp on a working llama farm and enjoy the garden!

The Lazy Llama Campground is centrally located to serve as a "base camp" for a scenic drive through the mountains, solitude on a backcountry trail, the thrill of whitewater, a night under the stars, or an opportunity to catch wild trout.
A Short Drive to Nascar's Bristol Motor Speedway and the National Storytelling Festival in October.
Our campground is only about 45 minutes from the NASCAR Bristol Race twice per year and only 15 minutes to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tennessee. It's also a short drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge, Asheville, North Carolina, and the Virginia Creeper Trail.

The river's white waters wind through one of the deepest gorge in the eastern portion of the United States. It features steep slopes & cliffs that climb more than 2,000 feet, offering adrenaline-charged rafting in the middle of absolutely gorgeous scenery. Check for brochures in the campground office.
