⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reviews

💕 Couples
• 🌲 “This treehouse is a dream — perched above the lake with birdsong, big windows, and a hammock deck where time just stops.”
• 🌅 “We found a quiet cove all to ourselves, watched sunsets from the deck, and wondered why we don’t live in a tree full-time.”

👨‍👩‍👧 Families

• ✨ “We unplugged, cooked easy meals in the little kitchen, and spent nights around the fire pit under the stars — exactly what we needed.”

🐾 Pet-Lovers
• 🐶 “Our dog Ollie thought it was the best vacation ever (and so did we!). Great space, freedom, and those lakefront views sealed it.”

Hey everyone! My name is Billy, and welcome to FireTower Camp! My wife’s Grandmother was born and raised next door before Smith Lake was here, and it remains her family’s gathering place 4 generations later. Your family can enjoy the same traditions at FireTower Camp. I have been in the fire truck business over 20 years, and the 109’ Fire Tower will serve as the camp beacon (coming in 2025) as we work hard to give you a relaxing vacation spot!
At Fire Tower Camp, we're thrilled to offer our guests a truly immersive outdoor experience that spans across 325 acres of natural beauty. Lace up your hiking boots and prepare for an adventure like no other.

The extensive rugged trails invite you to explore every nook and cranny of the landscape. Begin your journey by winding through the lush forest, where towering trees create a cool, shaded canopy above. Listen to the melodic symphony of birdsong and the rustling of leaves as you meander along the forested paths.

As you venture deeper into our property, you'll encounter picturesque creeks meandering through the terrain. Waters babble gently over smooth stones, creating a tranquil and refreshing oasis. Take a moment to dip your feet, skip stones, or simply sit by the creek's edge and listen to the soothing sounds of nature.

As you plan, please note this resource - we have nearly a mile of shoreline on Smith Lake during the full lake season, (roughly late March through late August). The lake's depth does vary over the year, usually in the Fall/Winter dropping which reduces our shoreline and the water that is very close to Treehouse #1's dock. You can still access the water year-round from our boardwalk and swim pier, and we try to post pictures year-round to show what it's like.
