Camp's Christmas Forest in Sweetwater, TN

How you get your tree

2025 season: all trees $50, cash or check only.

Cash only. This farm doesn't take cards, based on what we found — bring cash or confirm ahead if that's changed.

Our take

Camp’s Christmas Forest has been in business for roughly 25 years according to its own site, making it one of the longer-running farms in this research, and it sits about an hour from downtown Knoxville. A Tennessee Home and Farm magazine feature described it as being “more than just a tree,” hinting at some additional draw beyond the tree purchase itself — but the specifics behind that phrase weren’t confirmed in the sources reviewed, so it’s worth reading as a hint to ask about on arrival rather than a promise of specific attractions.

The pricing is simple, and real

The most recent figure found is straightforward: a flat $50 for any tree, cash or check only. No per-foot math, no tiered sizing to work through — just one price. That predictability could be a real advantage if you want a bigger tree without worrying about a per-foot penalty, though it also means there’s no way to know from this record whether a small and a large tree genuinely cost the same or whether “any tree” implies some size ceiling not spelled out on the page reviewed.

A real gap: how you actually get the tree

Unlike most farms in this research, it isn’t clear whether Camp’s Christmas Forest is a cut-your-own operation, a farm where staff cut the tree for you, or something else entirely. The site fetched for this research showed pricing and payment policy but nothing about the cutting process itself. That’s a meaningful gap if the field experience of cutting your own tree is part of why you’re visiting a Christmas tree farm in the first place — ask before you go if that matters to you.

What was showing when this research was done

When the farm’s site was checked, it displayed off-season messaging: closed, reopening Black Friday. That’s expected outside the Nov-Dec window and shouldn’t be read as a sign of trouble — it simply means the specific 2026 opening date and any updated pricing weren’t available to confirm at the time of this research.

The honest bottom line

A long track record and simple, flat pricing make this a reasonable option if you’re comfortable with cash or check and don’t need every detail nailed down in advance. If you want a confirmed cut-your-own experience or a longer activity list, this record can’t promise either — call ahead to fill in the gaps.

Planning your visit

Best time to go

Not documented with specific dates. The farm's own site was showing off-season 'closed, reopening Black Friday' messaging when checked, which points to a Black Friday-ish start but isn't a confirmed 2026 date.

How long to budget

Not documented, though flat pricing and no listed activities suggest a fairly quick, transactional visit rather than a full day out.

Crowds

Not documented in the record.

Parking

Not specified in the record.

Strollers and accessibility

Not addressed in the sources reviewed.

What to bring

  • Cash or a check — no other payment method is accepted
  • A question for staff about whether you're cutting your own tree or picking one that's already cut, since this record can't confirm which
  • Realistic expectations, since no activities beyond the tree purchase were found in sources reviewed

How to spend less here

  • The most recent pricing found was a flat $50 for any tree, cash or check only — simple, predictable, and the same regardless of size, based on that figure.

Who it suits

Good for

  • visitors who want predictable, flat pricing with no per-foot math to work out
  • anyone comfortable paying cash or check, since no other payment method is accepted
  • people near Knoxville who want a long-running, established local farm rather than a newer operation

Skip it if

Skip this one if you specifically want a cut-your-own experience with a saw in hand — available sources didn't confirm whether trees are cut in the field by customers or already cut and ready to grab.

Worth pairing with

Located about an hour from downtown Knoxville, in the Knoxville region alongside other farms in this directory.
