I was in tent space 2. We slept in the back of our truck with a camper shell, but if I'd had a tent, I don't think that particular tent space would have been large enough. The other tent spaces were bigger, just not this one. Other than that, we had a great relaxing time. We were the only campers there, so we had the run of the place. The shower system, pit toilet, and outdoor kitchen were so cool. The place was beautiful. The pond had a fountain on a timer so we sat by the fire overlooking the pond, listening to the fountain, frogs, and crickets. We saw several deer running through the campground and woke up to seeing a fox across the pond and a pileated woodpecker. They even had WiFi and 2 TVs, but I didn't watch them. It's not a state funded campground so the amenities were homemade, but I thought they were very smartly engineered and super cool. The outdoor kitchen even had a toaster over and a microwave. I will definitely go back.

This place was absolutely amazing! The views were beautiful, and we had the opportunity to meet Zed. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. The dogs were super friendly too, which made the experience even better. We stayed in the Bobcat area, and at night you could hear the lions and tigers, which made the experience unforgettable. You’re able to pick out the spot you want, which is a great touch. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back myself.

We really enjoyed our stay. This place was so quiet we wondered if we had lost our hearing at times! Everything was nicely maintained and convenient. Tent campers may wish to bring a water filter as the water tastes a little funky. Such a lovely piece of property- hiked the trail several times. This was our first visit but not our last!

Great place to camp. We will be back. This property is dedicated exclusively to camping both tent and RV. You are not staying at someone's house like other HipCamps. The owners were very nice and were on grounds conducting improvements. When messaged directly through the App, I received prompt responses. This property is close to the Talladega National Forest and loads of jeeping trails we enjoyed. Relaxing in the peaceful beauty in camp was nice also.
