Private primitive campsite in the woods with a fire ring and trash can. Bath house near the entrance to the campground is a nice amenity. The host, Andrea, was friendly and helped us find our site. Would stay here again

Weekend Trip to Little Blue House @ Smith Lake

We absolutely loved staying at the Little Blue House! My first impression when I walked in was how clean and inviting it was. The beds are very comfortable, and there are plenty of pillows, blankets, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning supplies, and even a washer and dryer! There is no dishwasher, so be prepared to hand wash your dishes but that is not a big deal at all for me. Although it is rural, there is a Dollar General close enough so you can either drive there to pick up some items or DoorDash is also available to deliver your items to the front door. Of course my boys really appreciated the high speed WiFi and the smart TV where they watched their favorite YouTube channels and Netflix movies. We enjoyed using the fire pit for making s’mores, and I loved the outside lighting. Small disclosure, this charming home is not a lake house so it is not right on the water, but you can access the boat ramp just a mile and half away. I definitely would recommend this house!

Very few RV Parks betweenTupelo and Birmingham so Matt's camp is a good location. And only a couple of miles off the interstate. Nice secluded, quiet, and shaded area. Clean bathhouse. We will stay there again if our travels take us that way.

The Little Blue House was whimsical, sweet, clean and welcoming! Really cozy with fully stocked kitchen. Great for dog guests with a fenced-in spot and a serene yard and nice quiet hilly road for morning walks. Nearby Bankhead national forest and Sipsey wilderness so it was nice to get out and about all day in nature then have showers, ac, and a comfy bed to come back to. Would stay again and bring friends!!

This is our third time staying at Sipsey Creek Farm, as it's a good half way point in our travels between Georgia and Arkansas. My son loves petting the animals (esp the 3 cats!) and Andra is super friendly and accommodating.

Great campsite, nice and secluded. They provide you with a lot of stuff in the tent and the beds are comfortable. All in all I would recommend it to anyone. You can get to it by car but if it rains a lot you're better off in a truck.

There was a lot of highway noise, but we stopped there because it was near the highway route we were taking. So that was fine. Lots of trees. Clean bathroom/shower.

I had an absolutely fantastic camping experience at Sipsy Creek Farm! The tent was perfect—clean, cozy, and set up with such care. Andrea, the owner, was amazing—so warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The farm itself is gorgeous, with beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere that made it easy to relax and just enjoy the moment. It was such a fun and beautiful weekend, and I left feeling completely recharged. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and restful escape in nature!

We had an amazing time at Sipsey Creek Farm! Andrea is the most gracious host and really takes care of her guests! We camped on the primitive site and it was very private and cozy. The indoor kitchen and barn came in handy as some weather moved through and we were able to stay safe and dry. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a safe, quaint camping trip with all the Bankhead trails close by. We will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a night driving cross country in our 36’ class A. This was an awesome option! Super easy to find, clear instructions and communication from host, clean restrooms/showers. I would definitely recommend this place as a great option for a road trip stop! Heated bathrooms and long supply of hot water were a pleasant surprise during the winter :) Others mention the highway noise, and though you can definitely hear it (it’s so close, which was a huge plus for us), we did not find it distributive at all. Overall, this spot is cheaper and much more lovely than other right-off-the-highway spots! Go on and book it, I say!

Sprinter 170. Great spot with convenient access from exit. Thought we would hear the freeway noise but it was dead quiet. Wifi signal was pretty weak at our spot but we were located towards the end of the sites near the tent sites. Note: Could not get our Starlink to connect with internet because of obstructions (trees), but no internet is not a deal breaker for us. Would definitely stay again!
