Answer
Man dont listen to the ones who leave rude answers. Tennessee is a beautiful place with lots of great places for hiking and camping. I like the Savage Gulf area, and the fiery gizzard trail. If your looking for a challenge then the Alum Cave trail is a great place. You can also hike up Mt. Laconte in the Smoky Mountains and stay up there over night or weekend. Its not tent camping but they have no electricity and bring all thier supplies up by mules. Sometimes the Natural areas in Tennessee are some of the best places to see. Also lots of people have private camp areas that you can call. There are some in east Tennessee. Just search the net for private camp areas. Theres nothing quite like the Smokys though. The smell of the mountains. The beautiful mountain streams. Im sure you wont have any problem finding a place in East or Middle TN that's camp worthy. West Tennessee doesnt offer that much camping. Good Luck!

Bears & Camping?
I know it's highly unlikely we encounter a bear when we go camping this week but recent reports of campers being mauled to death are making me imagine all kinds of horrors.
I suggested to my husband we take precautions but he's turning this into a joke by telling me just to buy some "bear-be-gone" spray.
I was thinking pepper spray in the tent at night would be a really good idea. He thinks a gun would be better.
But seriously what if he shot someone passing by because he got spooked, and I wouldn't be able to sleep worrying about the kids and a loaded gun right beside us!..
I think our dog will alert us in time if a bear happens upon us when we are sleeping, so that would buy us time, right?
There is me and my husband and two kids ages 4 & 8.
I'm thinking the kids should sleep at the back of the tent with me. And my husband and the dog should sleep closest to the entrance.
I just want to keep my family safe and have fun camping.
Thanks for all the responses. I feel like an utter idiot worrying about who should sleep where but you gave me and my husband a good laugh about the bear finding the entrance, and I feel more relaxed. Thank You!
We are in Utah which I understand is Black Bear country.
Answer
I live in the western part of North Carolina, right on the Tennessee border. If anyone knows bears, we do. I have 4 bears that visit my jobsite on a daily basis. So I hope that I can help you with this...
The first thing you need to do, is acquaint yourself with how bears act. To know the bear, is to prevent being attacked by one.
Generally, bears are going to move around at night, there are exceptions, but generally that is when they are the most active. They have a great sense of smell. And if you have food lying around your camp, or garbage, you are going to draw them in. Many campsites provide either a bear-proof trash container for you to utilize, or a long pole with a hook on top in each campsite, so that you can hoist your garbage bag up high to keep it out of the reach of bears.
The next thing you have to consider is female bears. Many are traveling with cubs. Like any good mother, they are going to protect their young. If you are between her and her cubs, she is going to defend them. Just as you would defend your own. Unfortunately for the bear, they usually end up getting shot, whereas you would not.
You cannot feed them! Neither can you get near a female bears cubs. That is a ticket for disaster. Don't do it.
I would not recommend carrying a weapon into a campsite, because most National and State parks are not going to let you do it. In many of those parks, there are bear sanctuaries, and if you kill a bear, you are in big trouble. If you are in possession of a firearm on Federal land, you are in big trouble. I'm a firm believer in carrying guns, don't get me wrong, but if you use common sense, you won't need it, and you won't risk getting into trouble with the law.
Bear spray is good. Most of them have a shot radius of around 25-30 feet. They cost about $50, which is quite expensive. But if you are in a heavy bear populated area, it's worth the money. You don't kill the animal, and yet you can still protect yourself.
If a bear approaches you, don't turn your back on it. Try to put your arms up high and look as large as you can. Make noise. Back away slowly, but do not run. A bear can run almost 30 mph uphill, you cannot. Black bears can climb trees, whereas most Grizzlies, or Brown bears cannot. So sometimes a tree isn't your best defense. If you are jumped on by a bear, cover up, play dead, and ride it out. I cannot guarantee your outcome, but you stand a good chance if you just have a will to survive.
Remember, you are in the bears home. And they will protect themselves if they feel threatened, or if they feel their young is being threatened, just as you would in your world.
Keep the trash away, and any food stuffs that might draw bears. Keep your campfire going, it deters bears also. I like guns, but in the long run, they will get you into more problems than you might want to get in. If you can opt for the spray, do it.
Use some common sense and you'll have a good camping trip. Remember, you're in their world, respect them, and it'll be alright.
