The Neature Preserve (formerly known as "Tabby's Trees") consists of 74 acres made up mostly of pine forest situated in the coastal plain. A creek runs along the western boundary of the property with an ephemeral (seasonal) wetland to the southwest. The overstory of the forest is dominated by loblolly and slash pine with a few longleaf pine sprinkled in, as well as turkey oak, live oak, laurel oak, and sweetgum. We have ~1.5 miles of trails that wind through a variety of ecosystems (trails can hiked or biked). The property has three primitive camping sites. Two of the sites are for tent camping only (where you would park your car along the hiking trail and then follow a separate path to get to the campsite), with one site that has enough space to park multiple cars or small camper right at the campsite.
The Neature Preserve is all about restoring native habitat! Prescribed fire is used at The Preserve to safely and efficiently restore and maintain productive ecosystems and to support our native plant and animal species. Info about prescribed fire as well as other restoration practices and projects going on at The Neature Preserve can be found below.
View more photos and learn more about the wildlife and plants that inhabit The Preserve as well as the habitat management plan on the "The Neature Preserve" Facebook page.
Prescribed Fire:
- The interior of the South Loop was burned for the first time (in recent history) on February 14, 2024 and again on April 17, 2025.
- The interior of the North Loop, along with the similarly sized unit just east of the North Loop, was last burned April 11, 2023
Timber Management:
- Future plans include a timber thinning to reduce canopy density, clear cutting some sections to be replanted in longleaf pine.
Wetland/Bog Restoration:
- Currently in progress:
1) Canopy and midstory reduction (cut, pile, and burn) to support native, understory species
2) Planting rare species, such as pitcher plants, to help improve their population size and genetic diversity

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 limit the number of guests staying here to no more than 10, but the daily average is only 4.
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.

Great host! Durand helped me back into position at the site. Site is landscaped, neat, clean and peaceful. Friendly horses! Bring some carrots and apples for them and you’ll have two new friends. Entire farm is picture perfect, clean, organized, landscaped. Great night sky to see the stars around the fire pit.

This was our 2nd time there and Durand met us as we arrived and assisted my backing into the spot. This place is a working farm and it's neat, clean, landscaped, and scenic. Our site was ready when we got there and we loved the horses (bring carrots and apples), loved the peace and quiet, and the night sky.
We will be back!

Exactly as advertised! Durand met us at the driveway, which is long and a bit narrow at a curve, but we had no problem with our 36' motorhome AND our towed F-150. He guided me as I backed into the spot next to the barn and horse field. Full hookup spot. Quiet place as we sat around the fire pit. Friendly horses who loved watermellon... Easy in and out of Statesboro and a great night sky view too! We will be back! Durand and Brooke were excellent hosts!

Very accommodating hosts and owner. Full hook up right next to a lake, walk out the camper and fish under the massive cypress trees.
They have full hook ups, laundry, playground and dog park. On the weekends there is a restaurant operating. It’s very quiet and peaceful.

Clean, quiet, family campground. Employees were friendly. bathrooms and laundry rooms are clean and neat and serviced daily. “Rec room” was clean but boasts a ping pong table which has no unbroken ping pong paddles. And a pool table that you need to ask for lock code to unlock the pool sticks. And you need to pay an additional fee to get access to the rec room. I’ve is available for purchase at office. Lake is wonderful and there is a large dog fenced area for turning your dog loose. We enjoyed our stay enough we extended it by another wk!

Jessica and Scott were amazing hosts. Lots of wildlife to see as well as chickens and some loving dogs. WiFi was very fast. They also had a nice bathroom with a hot shower. The city of Dublin was cute with lots of different restaurants.

Overview
About
Human civilization may not have invented a time machine yet, but that doesn't mean you can't blast to the past. Head over to George L. Smith State Park, where a gristmill and refurbished Parrish Mill are so 1880's. Keep an eye out for the Georgian gopher tortoise, or navigate your canoe paddle through tupelo strands and cypress trees adorned with Spanish moss. Hikers will enjoy the view of the seven mile stretch of trails, the perfect spot for wildlife watching. Best of all? Campers may be able to sleep right on the water's edge, lulled to sleep by the gentle coo of pond animals. Sometimes, it pays to live in the past.
Notable campgrounds
- Lakeside Campsites - Wake up to the gentle lapping of water at your doorstep with these scenic campsites right on the edge of the mill pond.
- Cozy Cottages - Nestled in the woods, these cottages come with gas fireplaces and screened porches, perfect for a comfortable wilderness escape.
- Primitive Campsites - For the true outdoor enthusiast, these sites offer a rustic camping experience amid the park's lush greenery.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early to secure your spot, as lakeside campsites and cottages are in high demand, especially during peak seasons.
- Consider weekday camping for better availability and to take advantage of discounts.
- Call the park office directly for up-to-date information on capacity limits and reservation policies.
- Explore nearby camping options if your preferred site is unavailable, ensuring you don't miss out on the George L. Smith experience.
When to go
The best time to visit George L. Smith State Park is during spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery, but be prepared for warmer temperatures. Winters are quiet and serene, though some facilities may be limited.
Know before you go
- Check the park's operating hours, which are from 7am to 10pm, and ensure you arrive within this window.
- Parking is $5 per vehicle, with annual passes available for frequent visitors.
- For a smooth visit, familiarize yourself with park rules and ensure you adhere to them.
- wifi is available in the park office, allowing you to stay connected even while enjoying the great outdoors.
- Remember to call ahead for any special accommodations or to inquire about accessibility within the park.

Small campground, well spaced out. Watch out for gators. Have made tons of improvements to Park over last few years.
