Located on the beautiful Broad River, summer offers views of kayakers and tubers floating down the river, close enough to see, but far enough away to feel alone. Eagle spottings and colorful landscapes make this retreat a camper's heaven. Learn more about this land: 20 minutes from downtown Athens. A quarter mile down a winding dirt drive will open up to a beautiful scene of river and nature. Quiet solitude and you are at one with this piece of heaven. Keep your eyes open for the bald eagle. If you are agile enough, climb down the terrain to the river for an early morning bath or fish for lunch. This site is a singular rental. You will have it to yourself. You may choose to camp with friends in which there is space for an Rv and a pull behind or two small rvs. It can also be used to tent camp.

Broad River Retreat

Amazing trip!

We had an amazing time on the Broad River at Jean’s. It was the perfect combination of camping for my son in his tent & glamping with all the amenities (bathroom/shower/place to sleep) for the adults. The view was beautiful and we loved being up on the top of the hill, looking down at the river & all the kayakers going by. We floated the river, which was a lot of fun seeing the spot as we floated by. We will definitely come back! It’s been one of our favorite family trips so far.

Broad River Retreat

Million dollar view

Our favorite place to camp, peaceful, private, safe, consistently clean, communication is fantastic with host but never intrusive. Dogs are welcome and they enjoy it, too! Other dog owners are respectful and clean up after their doggies, too, because the yard is always impeccable. A great way to unwind and reset. Saw many turtles this time sunning themselves on rocks in the river.

Broad River Retreat

Worth it!

Always worth the stay! The views are incredible, the site is neat and clean, the amenities are appreciated. It’s quiet and private, no one bothers you and it feels very safe. The dogs have a good defined area to run around in and enjoy our stays there as much as we do! Jean is a kind and responsive host but gives you the space you need to unwind and unplug. 😃

Broad River Retreat

best glamping ever

Stunning stargazing. Super quiet, private, and safe. You can hear the water the entire time. So handy to have the cozy bathroom and shelter complete with heaters. Felt totally free to let our baby pupperoo run around. All of this within an 65 minutes of my home near Atlanta, so that's unheard-of. We will absolutely be back.
