Camp Carroll

1 site · Tent72 acres · Huntingdon , TN
Proposed Carroll County Recreational Opportunity I would like to introduce the citizens of Carroll County and all interested parties to a proposed startup tent only campground on 72 acres adjacent to Mustang Cove at the new lake. I propose to offer a rustic or primitive tent camping experience and hope to enjoin the collaboration of the Caroll County 1,000 Acre Recreational Lake to provide kayak and canoe access to the adjacent shallow and shady shoreline. I solicit input and interest from local churches, scouts, 4H, and others and request your assistance and support. The Camp Carroll project is intended to provide a low impact environmentally and family friendly outdoor recreation experience for local residents and other interested parties; this includes but is not limited to the following: day use (CC Lake and general site), overnight tent and future small TT camping, canoe and kayak on 13 acres site ponds and CC Lake. The Project will allow local users the opportunity to camp/kayak (or learn) locally with convenient access to home or town markets. Churches, Boy/Girl Scouts, 4H and other users will have an additional local nature - based outdoor recreational opportunity available. Local is also extremely important convenience for the handicapped or other limited access populations. I will be happy to share updates, phoroscope and additional jnformation.Learn more about this land:62 acres south of Mustang cove mostly cleared. with 3 and 10 acre ponds. 12 acres north of cove partially cleared with mixed hardwood and pine woodlands. Habitat to deer, turkey, quail, beaver, otter, etc. I spent 2016 attending monthly planning and zoning commission meetings as they developed tent only campground regulations requiring 6 inches of gravel base with 2 inches of asphalt to every campsite and a restroom within 150 feet of every campsite. Needless to say, this regulation is not only cost prohibitive but in my opinion, also promulgates unsustainable erosion and habitat degradation. Plan B envisions development as a daycamp operation with picnic pavillions, bbq pits, volleyball, horseshoes, frisbee golf, etc with canoe, kayak and peddle boat access to ponds and the shallow end of the 1,000 acre lake. Plan C would be just build a multipurpose residence shareable with family and friends. Pland D involves the services of a good realtor. Anyone interested in sharing this experience is welcome to contact me to discuss. Let's do this!1 tent only allowed.

FeatherStone Farm

1 site · Lodging13 acres · Mayfield, KY
After 4 years of living in a large house in the middle of town we decided try tiny living! We sold our house and bought and remodeled a 5th wheel camper and lived in the country with Emily's parents. During this time land down the road came up for sale and we decided this would be our perfect forever home! We realized we loved the tiny life so we renovated one section of the barn as our studio apartment and the rest is either shared with the sheep or used as the location for our barn market! The original tobacco section of the barn is estimated to be around 75-100 years old. Emily and her family have lived on this road for more than 70 years so we have lots of stories about this area! The farm also has what we call "The Tiny Cottage" located here. It's a small shoppe that is filled with hand made and USA made products we keep stocked year round. The trails on the farm were made by Jordan. He carefully mapped out each one to require as little disturbance to the trees as possible and he did it all with a rake and weedeater! We love our home and sharing it with others just makes it more fun living here! We work hard to take care of the land and animals we share it with. If you have any questions always feel free to ask! Otherwise we will do our best to let you have your privacy while you stay here.Learn more about this land:Enjoy a glamping experience on our 13 acre farm. You can wonder the trails etched through the fields and woods. Enjoy the stars from the comfort of the 16ft wide and 10.5 ft tall Star Gazer Lotus Bell Tent decorated in mid century furniture. Have a campfire or watch a movie projected on the inside of the tent. You can also meet our “farmily” that consists of ponies, sheep, chickens and a few other fur babies running around! They are friendly and full of personality! We also have a monthly market in the barn with a select few artisan vendors with a range of handcrafted goods. Come experience this quaint little place that we call FeatherStone Farm.*A few things to note: - We have barn markets and the occasional pop up at our farm. If you want to book your stay around these events feel free to message us. - There is no shower at the campsite. The site has a private porta-potty that is serviced weekly and a hand washing station outside. We provide a wash basin in the tent and water bottles are kept in the mini fridge. - Be prepared to walk to your campsite. In some seasons it may be possible to drive your car to the fenced area of the tent but usually the hay field is too grown up to do that. We provide a lantern at the tent but it's always a good idea to keep a spare handy in case you are coming or going after dark. -The bell tent has access to electric and we keep a mini fridge, snacks, a coffee maker, French press and even a mini waffle maker there for your convenience as well as a cast iron skillet and grill to go over the campfire for outdoor cooking.   - While the fence is for your privacy please remember this site is at our home. Dogs running around, sheep grazing, and occasionally chickens free ranging should be expected. -We do have poison ivy on the property so be aware when going on the trails or if you decide to go off the paths in the field or woods.The tent has two heating options: electric space heater and Mr. Buddy propane heater. Mr. Buddy Propane heater MUST be turned OFF when sleeping as well as the propane tank its self. NEVER run the propane heater when sleeping. The heater does have safety features and there is a carbon monoxide detector and proper ventilation, but you can never be too cautious with gas heaters. Thank you!

The best camping near Big Cypress Tree State Park guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Big Cypress Tree State Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. Traverse the winding trails, immerse yourself in the lush greenery, and keep your eyes peeled for the diverse wildlife that calls this park home. While the park beckons hikers and bird watchers, it also offers serene picnic spots for those seeking a peaceful retreat in nature's embrace.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Big Cypress Tree State Park is during the cooler months, from late fall to early spring, when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities. Summer brings heat and humidity, which can be challenging for some visitors, making it the least favorable time for a trip.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, before planning your visit.
  • Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions due to weather or conservation efforts.
  • Wear appropriate footwear and clothing for hiking and exploring the park's diverse terrain.
  • Bring along water and snacks, as facilities may be limited within the park.
  • Respect the natural habitat by observing wildlife from a distance and not leaving trash behind.
