Escape to Our 16-Acre Permaculture Paradise Nestled among majestic oaks, pecans, apples, hazelnuts, mulberries, and black/honey locusts, our developing agroforestry biome recreates the breathtaking pre-Columbian oak-hickory savanna. We’re passionate about sharing this regenerative haven with fellow nature lovers. Private Campsites with Thoughtful Amenities Each site features an established campfire ring and complimentary firewood—perfect for cozy evenings under the stars. Sites are a scenic 300–500 ft walk from parking (depending on your chosen spot). Secure Parking Note Parking is on a quiet dead-end road monitored by security cameras. It’s not secluded, so we don’t recommend car camping. Book now and immerse yourself in a living food forest—where camping meets ecological restoration.

Tucked just 100 feet from the main gate, this secluded campsite offers a quiet retreat with added privacy. Nestled among a peaceful grove of persimmon trees at the crest of a gentle hill, the site enjoys steady summer breezes and dappled shade throughout the day. Nearby, our newest food forest planting adds to the beauty and serenity of the area, creating a refreshing space to relax, read, or enjoy the natural surroundings.

Persimmon Grove
Such a beautiful place! Safe and secure! I enjoyed being welcomed by the sweetest dog, she lead me right where to set up for the night. Waking up on a beautiful piece of land with sheep, chickens, fluffy sweet doggo, it was such a fun and much needed experience. 10/10 highly recommend!!

Overall, I cannot complain for the accessibility via price. I think it is very kind to be able to open up your space to make accessible for others! However, it wasn't fully what I was expecting, not necessarily at the fault of the host. I had booked a plot of land with the intention of parking overnight and had to sleep in the car as it was torrential downpouring the night that I stayed. The lot that we rented out was not accessible via car, and parking instructions sent by the Host had us parked outside of his property's gates. On the other side of his gates are a row of neighbors homes and a semi-busy road off of their street (about 600 feet from where we parked). This meant essentially no privacy given the circumstances of our sleeping arrangements. Whether this be a miscommunication or whatbeit, I thought sharing my experience could help others know what to expect! No fault of the Host whatsoever, but if you too find yourself with the possibility of utilizing your car for sleep while camping, this may not be the listing for you.
