Aerial view of Camp Quarry Trails and the quarry water near Knoxville

Sleep in a quarry.
Wake up in Knoxville.

An urban wilderness campground carved out of stone, water, and night sky — minutes from downtown and built for people who want the fire and the city.

185 Wrinkle Avenue · Knoxville

Your urban
wilderness retreat.

This is not a highway pull-off with a picnic table. Camp Quarry Trails sits in a Knoxville rock quarry — cliffs, water, trails, and a night sky that still shows up after the city lights fade.

Come for the hike, the bike, the float, or the quiet. Stay for the campfire. Downtown Knoxville is a short drive, bike, or walk when you want dinner, music, or a second wind. Then you come back to stone, stars, and a site that actually feels like you left town.

The city is close.
The quarry is closer.

When you want more than the fire ring, downtown Knoxville is right there — dining, shopping, live music, and whatever the night is doing. Leave camp, hit the city, and be back under the stars before the wood burns down.
