Discover Ole Limestone
Nestled in the heart of Paynes Cove, Tennessee,
Ole Limestone invites you to step back in time and embrace the raw beauty of nature. As one of the founding families to settle this historic area, we've woven our roots deep into the limestone-rich soil that gives our campsite its name. This remarkable stone, which has graced ancient wonders like the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Taj Mahal, blankets our cove in a testament to the land's enduring legacy. Imagine the echoes of history as you explore the same paths where, long before the hum of engines, mules and wagons laboriously hauled rock from the mountain. Our campsite isn't just a place to pitch a tent; it's a gateway to a world of whispered legends and campfire tales. One such story tells of a team of mules and their wagon, suddenly vanishing into a cavernous blue hole while taking a break for a drink—a chilling reminder of the land's hidden depths and secrets. At Ole Limestone, we don't just offer a camping spot; we provide a canvas for your own epic tales, waiting to be crafted under a moonlit Tennessee night and passed down through generations. Come, be part of our living history, and let the limestone-studded landscape of Paynes Cove inspire your next great adventure.
