Come pitch a tent or hang your hammock between the beautiful hardwoods.
We currently have primitive tent camping that can easily fit 4-5 tents or hammock camping.
Both options sit alongside Sofkahatchee creek. We have 15 acres of untouched forest to wonder through and help you reconnect with mother nature. It’s my favorite spot for meditation and grounding.
The sky is amazingly dark around here and stargazing would be at the top of my list of things I love about the property.
This area is full of wildlife. Raccoons, deer, turkey, possums, armadillo, snakes, and even bears. I haven’t personally ran in to any bears but they have been sited.
So, who knows what you will befriend while in the wild.
The camping areas are very private. It’s part of a 50 acre lot that has recently been cleared and in the process of reseeding and preparing for a pond and farm life. So, sorry if you run in to anything that isn’t picturesque but your camp site will be beautiful and peaceful.
AMENITIES: We want your stay to be as comfortable as possible! For an additional cost, we offer amenities such as tents, towels, bug deterrent, firewood, fire starters, hand warmers, s’mores kits, camping toilet, gold panning kit, games and more. If you have specific needs or requests, don’t hesitate to reach out before your arrival—we’re here to help make your experience unforgettable!

Tent camp or RV park on my future house site near Auburn and lake Martin.
Condition:
Undeveloped, no water, no sewage disposal, no electricity.
Leave no trace, pack it in, pack it out.
Thanks!
Location:
6 minutes from Dollar General
8 minutes from "Union" Public boat ramp on Lake Martin.
39 minutes from Jordan Hare Stadium.
Description:
The property is 75 feet wide and stretches 210 feet back from the road. Shaded with trees, flat, plenty of room for pitching a tent. The driveway clearing large enough for a car plus camper or RV. I don't have dimensions, but use the pictures of my Jeep for reference. For now, you must decide if your rig will fit. The driveway ground is hard, but there isn't any gravel on the drive yet, so be mindful of parking during rain or soggy conditions.
There is a fire ring and a few chairs to enjoy socializing or plenty of trees to hang a hammock and relax. Basically a quiet place to relax, in an undeveloped neighborhood, and pretend you are in a backcountry tent site, 6 minutes from Dollar General :) War Eagle!

3 nights at Parksland Retreat
Outstanding! Dustin has built such a lovely place here at Parksland. The cabin was exactly as advertised, if not better. We had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We hiked the trails, enjoyed the Friday night meal, toasted in the sauna on Saturday night, and stayed up chatting with several other folks in the lounge area by a roasting fire while it drizzled on the metal roof. Most visitors during our stay participated in the clothing optional invitation (in case you were curious). We met some people who had visited before, but the majority who were there during our time were newcomers like us. If you have the opportunity to visit - go! You won’t regret it. It’s serene and warm and inviting in every wonderful way possible.

Beautiful, peaceful property with well-spaced sites. The owner was very welcoming and made a great first impression.
We booked P3 but stayed at P2 with our group, and it ended up being an excellent site—great water access, enough space for two 6-person tents, and falling asleep to the sound of the creek was a highlight.
There are no videos of the hike down or back up the hill—trust me, you’ll need all your strength (especially if you’re not already a hiker 😂). Pack light—then pack lighter. These are definitely backpack-style sites. We used a shower bag because going back up the hill at night wasn’t happening.
Plenty of trails on the property, and you’re also close to Majestic Caverns if you want to explore nearby. We’d absolutely stay here again.
