35mi from Atmore · 101 sites · Tents, RVs · Robertsdale, AL

A little slice of camping heaven, 41 acres with 800 feet of water frontage on Styx River. YaYa's is a completely primative or boondocking campground and swim area with porta pottie available. There is hot showers available at truck stop about a mile away and they have a dump station for those in RV. Come enjoy all the natural beauty or we are within an hour of hundreds of things to do for all ages. YaYA lives about 1/2 mile away and has a well available to refill your water. There is plenty of fallen wood to gather for fires or cut wood available for purchase. We have a community area with picnic tables, sun sails, grill, pavilion, and large bonfire. Please note the access road is old gravel and dirt, so if in a low car you'll need to take it slow. If there has been rain call ahead for entry directions as part of road becomes muddy. There is also a shooting range near by so during the day you will hear this some. You will not be disappointed if you love the tranquility of being outdoors.

5. Airstream Gypsy Hideaway

48mi from Atmore · 1 site · Lodging · Silverhill, AL

This is country life. The airstream hideaway sits on 6 acres surrounded by woods, farmland, birds, deer, rabbits, foxes, and more. Instead of eliminating nature, we embrace awareness and knowledge for coexisting with insects, wildlife, critters, plants, etc. For visitors who love walking: the three roads of this neighborhood are dead ends and have hills. Perimeters of agricultural fields can also be walked, if desired. Other things to note: Our home is on site and located toward the front of the property. The outdoor space includes patio mat, picnic table, charcoal BBQ grill, chairs, fire pit, and RV awning. It is a cool spot to relax. The front porch becomes an outdoor dining area in moments. I try to keep wood for the fire pit nearby for guests to use. At night, the fresh air and crackling fire pit bring back memories of youthful whispered stories.

Our family rented out 2 yurts for our sons birthday and we had an amazing time! Amanda was attentive and kind (as was her sweet fur baby, Bella) Our yurt was clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed to make our "glamping" trip a success and we look forward to making more memories there soon!

Even though it was pretty hot out, we HAD to make a campfire for s'mores!

I loved the welcome and the energy. The area was clean and the space felt private but not isolated. It felt communal in the common spaces but there was plenty of room to be alone.

We absolutely love tent camping at The Wandering Path. It is beautiful, peaceful, and everything we were looking for to celebrate my birthday this weekend. The bathhouse is always clean and the sites are well-maintained. Absolutely loved it!

We loved our experience. The yurt was clean, bed comfortable, and campsite quiet and perfect. We enjoyed walking to the sandbars and hiking the trail. The host communicated well- provided clear directions and checked in on us once we were settled in. We will definitely be back!

My Brother didn’t tell me there was a pet Florida Gopher Turtle inside the yard until I was surprised by the turtle walking by in the morning. He said,” I thought you would wonder all night.

Very private. Where else can you have the whole camp to yourself? You park at the gate and go in to put your stuff on a table , running water, a plug in (we didn’t use). Put up your tent and relax in the chairs around the campfire.

We love coming to The Wandering Path! It is always so relaxing! We have always stayed in the Primitive sites and we usually get #5, but it was booked so we booked #8 which we also really enjoyed. It was a great weekend!

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Site was exactly as described. Host was great! Briefly met me after I arrived to make sure everything was ok. This was the exact kind of place I was looking for. Something near the water with a site that was private enough to not feel like anyone was near by, but one that had quick access to a warm shower if desired. Bath house was clean and well taken care by the host and my neighboring campers. Made you want to take the extra 30 seconds to wipe things down before walking back to your site. I will definitely be returning.

The Wandering Path was a fabulous place to stay. Very relaxing environment with spaced out sites for privacy. There’s a communal kitchen area and the bathrooms were nice and well kept. We stayed in yurt #1 which was cozy and a short walk to the sandy waterfront. Amanda, the host was very friendly. Will visit again in the future.

Weekend Trip to CampFire at the Riverbend

The spot was absolutely perfect for camping, fire pit overlooking the winding River. The little cabin was essential for our dogs so we didn’t have to worry but I’d recommend an air mattress to put down. There were people tubing by all day so not total privacy but like I said, a perfect spot to camp out and unwind. Richard was very helpful in giving instructions. If you want more privacy I would recommend renting out both the cabin and the tent spot next to it. Would go back for sure

The Wandering Path is a wonderful experience. Amanda is a great host who always makes us feel welcomed. This is our 4th annual trip and we enjoy it more each time. The yurt is spacious & clean and the camp area is located near to the bathhouse and the creek. The creek was chilly and clear. It was another magical experience at the Wandering Path.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path

Each campsite was nicely isolated from each other by foliage while not being terribly far apart. Nice outdoor group kitchen area. Bathhouse was well appointed. All campsites are nicely proximate to the creek although I thought mine was best in having a direct view and path down to the creek. Square footage was a little tight but manageable. Never noticed a single mosquito, tick, or bitey bug. Really relaxed.

Absolutely stunning, the pictures don't do the property justice. My husband and I took a two day trip for his birthday and it was restorative and peaceful. Sitting by the fire in the silence of nature and listening to the wildlife come to life was magic, plus the stars! We brought our Australian Shepard and he had the time of his life running around and swimming in the river. Amanda is warm and caring, you can tell how much thought she has put into the property. This is a spot we will be returning to, hopefully very soon. It is certainly an escape from the noise.
