Blackberry Farm, nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, celebrates their 50^th anniversary this year!  This luxury resort has been quietly catering to families especially with its expanded family programming that includes a dedicated kids’ camps, skill-based youth learning, and immersive family adventures. At the core is Camp Blackberry, a fully developed children’s program (ages 4+) offering full- and half-day sessions with rotating activities like cooking, art, outdoor exploration, and wellness.  For older children and teens, Youth Discovery adds more depth, with hands-on classes in ceramics, gardening, navigation, and outdoor skills. The Family Adventure Series is designed for shared experiences rather than separation. Families can hike, paddle, forage, or complete scavenger hunts together across the Smoky Mountain landscape, reinforcing connections to nature and to each other.

The resort’s accommodation options include rooms, suites, cottages and 3- to 5-bedroom houses ideal for any size family and for multi-gen families. And it’s all-inclusive!  Rates include all your meals, along with pantry snacks, pantry non-alcoholic beverages and non-guided activities.
