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.

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. You’ll need more than a couple days to ride all that the Big South Fork has to offer and remember to bring your camera. You will surely want to capture the scenic beauty of the Big South Fork.
