Welcome trail riders to The Big South Fork and Zenith Stables & Campground. We are located at the southern end of the park nestled off of Highway 52 between Historic Rugby and Allardt, Tennessee. The Big South Fork National River & Recreation Area is comprised of over 120,000 acres of the most beautiful trail riding you have ever seen.

There are over 200 miles of horse trails in the BSF. A short ride on our trails will take you to the Gernt Wiley Trailhead, Zenith Road or Joe's Branch. We are one of the closest campgrounds to the O&W railroad bed, the Zenith crossing is a shaded 2.8 mile ride from camp. You can ride to Needles Eye, Double Arches, Jake's Hole, White Oak Overlook, the O&W Railroad Bridge and many other destinations.

Fantastic camp ground, wonderful owners and very reasonably priced. Beautiful lawns with adjoining pasture and pond. Clean facilities, plenty of space with many sites under high trees and great WiFi. We will be back.

Nice place! But the barn is not the safest for a stud. Great people and a wonderful place to ride.

We have stayed at Zenith several times and always enjoy it. The owners are super nice & the trail riding starts right next to your tent or camper.

Ask Bruce, the owner, to show you around Great South Fork. He' can tell you stories about abandoned settlements, tales about indians or lynchings by the hillbilly mafia and perhaps show you where the best swimming holes are.
