What makes Roxanne Cox with The Camp at Buffalo Mountain a good neighbor?Tucked away on Buffalo Mountain in Jonesborough, a hidden gem awaits those seeking connection—with nature and with each other. Roxanne Cox and Kathy Owens share the remarkable story of how they preserved a beloved Christian camp by transforming it into The Camp at Buffalo Mountain, a family-run rustic retreat center where memories are made against a backdrop of natural beauty. Their passion shines through as they describe what makes their venue special: accommodations for up to 60 guests, perfect for destination weddings where families can spend quality time together instead of just a fleeting reception; family reunions where multiple generations reconnect; and group retreats from quilters to university students. With both indoor and outdoor spaces, a swimming pool, fishing pond, and the gentle sounds of Ramsey Creek flowing through the property, guests find themselves embracing a simpler way of being. Perhaps most refreshing is what you won't find at the camp—reliable cell service. While Wi-Fi is available, the technological limitations have become one of their greatest assets, encouraging genuine human connection. The property also hosts the innovative Seed Keepers Forest School, where children learn wilderness skills from identifying edible plants to understanding local ecology. One young student recently surprised the owners by explaining that redbud flowers are not only beautiful but edible—knowledge that represents the kind of authentic, hands-on learning that happens when screens are set aside. Whether you're planning a wedding, seeking a family gathering space, or simply need to disconnect to reconnect, visit thecampatbuffalo.com to discover how this preserved piece of mountain heritage might be the perfect setting for your next meaningful experience. The camp's legacy continues, one celebration, one creek-side conversation, one unplugged moment at a time.To learn more about The Camp at Buffalo Mountain go to:<a href="https://www.thecampatbuffalo.com/">https://www.thecampatbuffalo.com/</a>The Camp at Buffalo Mountain(423) 753-3604
