Goat Camp

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents7 acres ¡ Jackson, GA
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.

The best camping near Ocmulgee National Monument guide

Overview

About

There aren't many places where humans have lived for continuously for 17,000 years. Ocmulgee is one of them. From Ice-Age hunters to Native American mound-builders, it's housed some fascinating folks. Explore this ancient land with 6 miles of trails and an excellent museum.

Start your tour in the museum, where you can learn about prehistoric residents. Outside, charge your camera for the Earth Lodge—the floor is 1000 years old. The path also runs past the trading post and the Great Temple Mound. If you're feeling energetic, bike down the Heritage Trail. Fishing is allowed in the creek and river. Is wildlife your thing? Check out the River Trail, or walk above the wetlands on the boardwalk. If you look closely, you might even see an alligator.

The park comes to life in September with the Ocmulgee Indian Celebration. With hoop dancers, ancient games, and storytellers, it's a party and an education combined. In the spring, tour the park by lantern light after dark.

Around the park, you'll find both tent and RV camping at Lake Tobesofkee. A variety of lakes and rivers offer swimming and boating. In nearby Macon, look for museums, a cherry blossom festival, and killer sports.
