I have a large field that rarely get used so I thought it would be fun to let others use it. I don't have any hookups or a bathroom. Very safe quiet area. Its just a mini hobby farm but you're more than welcome to check out the chickens and my pig Peppa. If the chickens are laying good I will get you some fresh eggs.

The Herb'n Soul Sanctuary is designed to be a sanctuary -- a sacred space for rest, renewal, and relaxation. The Sanctuary welcomes all.
Your glamp-site is located in the center of a pine-oak-hickory-poplar forest adjacent to our active urban farming family, where we grow fruits and veggies, and raise goats, chickens, ducks and bees. The entire property is about 10 acres. But don't let the seclusion fool you! We are a 30min ride to the airport.
You can enjoy a walk through our labyrinth that has over 80 blueberry bushes surrounding it. As an extra, you can have a tour of our family farm.
Stone Mountain Park is also a short drive or bike ride from here, where there is hiking, paddling, golf, and amusement rides available. For a more local experience, the Pine Lake Beach is just a 1.5 miles away. It's a beautiful site for swimming and fishing.
New to camping and not sure that you can cook an adequate meal over a fire? No problem. This site provides access to the best of country luxury alongside the city conveniences of DoorDash and UberEats, all in one place.
We have a propane heater for the colder months and 2 battery powered fans for hot days.

When I moved onto Windy Lane as a child in third grade, our road was a country dirt road. I have a lot more neighbors now, but my little piece of heaven has remained country.
My husband, Randy and I enjoy the peace and quiet we get and the plus of being close to the Interstate for when we need to make trips to Atlanta.
My land is still surrounded by a fence, now rusted, that my Daddy put up when I was a child. The property is big enough for us to enjoy and small enough for us to maintain.
My wildlife camera has captured photos of deer, coyotes, foxes, opossums, raccoons and an occasional dog and cat from the neighborhood.
We hope you will stop by and visit with us. Safe travels and may the road rise to meet you and the wind be at your back!Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent in your favorite spot on our 5+ acre lot. Our niche is privacy and our cute little Nigerian Dwarf goats grazing nearby. Once you are on our property, you will quickly forget you are just a mile from Interstate 75. We are located off Exit 205 and are 40 miles south of Atlanta and 35 miles north of Macon.We are just 5 miles from High Falls State Park and Indian Springs State Park (where kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, etc. are available). We are just 3 miles from Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary and 6 miles from Dauset Trails Nature Center. Both are must sees for animal lovers. If you love stockcar racing, we are just 18 miles from Atlanta Motor Speedway. Activities there aren't just for "race weekends."If shopping is more "your thing," we are just 7 miles south of Tanger Outlet Mall in Locust Grove, Georgia.

Overview
About
Located fifteen minutes from Atlanta, this park is an easily-accessed, family-friendly retreat. There is plenty to keep you busy: angling, boating, hiking, and biking.
Check out the park's range of organized activities, with everything from tree-climbing to archery. Trails through the scenic forest allow you to keep fit and explore.
While in the area, you can explore the wider Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. Take a hike on this iconic mountain, spot some wildlife, and visit a historic monastery.
In the park itself, you can wander around the 100-acre outcrop of Stone Mountain. Try to spot some rare plants, birds and other wildlife as you go. If you're a beginner, there are ranger-led hikes to show you the best stuff.
The park offers five primitive campsites, all of which boast scenic, natural locations close to the lake. Two of the campsites share a fire pit for outdoor fun, and all have picnic tables. At busy times of the year, you should book in advance.
When to go
The best time to visit Panola Mountain State Park is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery but can be hot and humid, while winter provides stark beauty, though some activities may be limited.
Know before you go
- Reservations are required for ranger-led hikes to explore the mountain's unique ecosystem.
- Leashed dogs are welcome on select trails, but not in the conservation area.
- Check the park's event calendar for special activities and educational programs.
- Remember to bring $5 for vehicle parking, or consider an annual pass for frequent visits.
- For your safety, always stay on designated trails and follow park guidelines.
