✨ The Perfect Six – Nature, Comfort, and a Touch of Magic ✨
Tucked away on six thoughtfully cared‑for acres, The Perfect Six is a place where nature and comfort meet. Our property borders a peaceful tributary that flows straight into the legendary Cahaba River—home to rare lilies, rich wildlife, and endless quiet moments. A short five‑minute stroll along a gentle trail takes you right to the river’s edge.
On site, you’ll find a stocked pond perfect for casting a line at sunrise or simply watching the water ripple at dusk. In season, you can wander through our blueberry bushes and enjoy picking a handful of fresh berries right from the land.
Evenings are made for gathering around our large communal fire pit—a centerpiece for stargazing, storytelling, and making s’mores under the Alabama night sky.
We’ve carved out shaded campsites and a dedicated RV parking area with full hookups, so whether you’re in a tent or a rig, you’ll have a comfortable home base. Wake up to birdsong, explore our private walking paths, and experience a little Alabama magic—just minutes from the Cahaba but a world away from the noise.

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.

My two night stay in #3 was just what I needed while in the area. Sites are all pretty private in that you have some distance. More great sites are further down the farm road and in the forest. There was some traffic from the local airport and a little noise from houses nearby, but nothing too much. Pinned to Favorites.

Brian's location is a perfect 10. I arrived in sub freezing temps. Brian insured that I had a hookup for small electric heater. Grounds are very relaxing and plenty of room for my dog to run. Hope to make this an annual stop as I travel.

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!
