Heirloom Hamlet

5 sites ¡ RVs, Tents5 acres ¡ Ridgeland, SC
Why buy a home when you can build a fairytale? Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge. About 4 years ago we left our South Florida handcrafting furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between some of the old fashioned world that we'd found ourselves missing, and the handful of modern advancements that were actually beneficial. All while keeping it classy. At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cabins, installing solar, composting, planting, and building toilets that are better for our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever reasonable. So, we are incorporating both alternative and municipal utilities as they can fit into our homestead design and limited budget. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" small living can feel. We all have personal priorities and those will vary greatly, and that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our fellowman. After all, if we don't have that, what do we have? To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also would like it if we inspired onlookers to possibly look at their own space and life a little bit differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to distinguish real desires and needs from the ones we've been groomed to pursue, and then work to make them a reality. We've found it energizing to witness our fellowmen and women pursuing a dream. We'd like to be a stimulating memory along any person's journey. Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. That, as our paths cross, we won't be held to a business-first standard that we have worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realize everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.

Beefield Apiary

1 site ¡ RV, Tent1 acre ¡ Statesboro, GA
A roadside stop near peanut and cotton fields with water and power. Once upon a time a very busy apiary, now a mild beekeeping field and farmers bee supply store. We’ve a fire pit if you bring your wood. Beware the two barn cats, one who is named Cat-Dog because he greets people like a dog, follows his owner everywhere outside and is an old greyTom. Meet the retired folks who spend time with the Husky and the chickens; perhaps one of us is in one of the shops; the blacksmith or the carpenter or the beekeeping shop. We are just down the road from the Ogeechee River for fishing and kayaking.

Great Dane Lane

35 Feet ****- MAXIMUM LENGTH INCLUDING PULLING VEHICLE IS 35 FEET. We are not a pull thru site, some backing will be required. - 35 Feet**** Long term stays (7 or more nights) please make contact before booking. I was the first person to purchase property here in 1995 in what is known as Moultrie Plantation. This is a private property community with its own private dirt road. The plantation is rich in Civil War history and people still find arrowhead 's, Civil war buttons and other Civil War related items on the dirt roads where the soldiers marched through the plantation. It is a quiet, peaceful neighborhood where owners enjoy the country life.

Bliss Hills Farm

8 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs75 acres ¡ Claxton, GA
Our beautiful unique property has been in the family for 3 generations. Over the years, our family, plus artists, musicians, & writers have come here to refresh and get inspiration from nature. But with Hipcamp, we've opened up for others to enjoy. We have walking trails, a pond where you can kayak, relax on the dock, or feed the huge fish (sorry no fishing allowed.) Also, on our property, there are swings, a tree house deck, obstacle course, fire pit area, wooden bridge, picnic table, and abundant bird life. There's also plenty of wide-open space where you can play frisbee, run, do yoga, and stargaze at night. There's plenty to do in this area, using the farm as your base. Claxton, our hometown, is a great friendly, small-town with grocery and hardware stores and restaurants. Many guests like to side-trip over to the towns of Statesboro, Metter, Vidalia, and Savannah, plus the Golden Isles.

Sweet Blossom Alpaca Farm

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents18 acres ¡ Millen, GA
Our farm is very peaceful and we knew it was a special place when we found it during our search when we decided to move our alpaca farm from FL to GA. We have raised alpaca for last 14 years. They are a fiber producing animal (similar to sheep) as well as just a beautiful animal, have great personalities and it is amazing to watch the herd dynamics. We have 3 very spoiled donkeys (mom, daughter and gelded son) - have had them for about 18 years. We are committed to the best care possible for our animals and love to educate people about alpacas (and donkeys). We have a farm store onsite with various items for sale made out of the alpaca fiber (socks, scarves, sweaters, hats, plushies, etc). As part of your stay, we will offer a short alpaca farm tour! There is a 2 acre lake on our property which is adjacent to the campsite area separated by a fence. The campsite area is located away from our main house and the alpaca barn - fairly private. We have a bathroom onsite and a shower (no hot water at this time) - a walk from the campsite area. There is a picnic table available.

The best camping near Magnolia Springs State Park guide

Overview

About

The natural springs at Magnolia State Park are icy cold, pumping water from the earth’s depths at 7 million gallons per day. Boardwalks and hiking trails meander through the springs, allowing you to search the area for elusive critters like gators, snakes, and turtles. If this doesn’t strike your fancy (not a fan of snakes?), there’s also a small lake for fishing, a splash pad for frolicking youngins, and a paved bike trail. You don’t have to be a camper to enjoy the park, though we’d highly recommend it—rental cottages mean all you have to do is pack your bags and hit the road.

Notable campgrounds

  • Tent, Trailer & RV Campsites: Nestled amid the park's natural beauty, these sites offer a classic camping experience.
  • Walk-In Campsites: For a more secluded adventure, these campsites provide a peaceful retreat.
  • Pioneer Campground: Ideal for larger groups seeking a rustic outdoor experience.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak seasons, to ensure your spot amid the park's serene landscape.
  • Consider weekday camping for better availability and a 30% discount on your stay.
  • Check for cancellations regularly as plans change and spots may open up.
  • Explore nearby camping options if the park's campgrounds are fully booked.

When to go
