Heart of the Country is our home and also your own personal twelve acre state park whenever you stay with us!
We are less than 15 minutes from Interstate 10 and from Interstate 65.
I offer a half-dozen campsites, all either on a relatively level paved driveway or grass. Power (20 amp and 30 amp) and water is available. We have two 30 amp campsites, which are first come, first served.
WIFI is available! (please ask for password).
We have a portable toilet (portable-potty) for your use.
This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails.
This is also a hobby farm with livestock (two Donkeys, two Goats and a flock of Chickens). I feed the livestock grain every morning usually between 8 and 9 am, and again hay before dusk. You are always welcome to join me and I'll introduce all of them to you!
My dog, Homer, is our very friendly welcoming ambassador who will enthusiastically great you upon your arrival. I put him up in his kennel each evening around dusk, then lock him in his shed until morning which keeps him from barking during the night.
We also host three AirBnBs, so other guests may be here as well.
Texting via the app is our preferred mode of communication. If you call, please leave a message if I can't answer, and I will call you back.
We are slowly updating the site photos. Use them only to determine your price, for example: A site with 30 amp power and water is $25 per night. A site with 20 amp power and water is $20 per night. A boondocking site (no power) is $15 per night. All sites have access to a porta-potty and water.
Suggested local attraction: Blakeley State Historic Park is four miles away.

National forest 57mi from Mount Vernon · 79 sites
Lush rolling terrain and wide slow creeks are trademarks of the De Soto National Forest. So are kickin’ it in a canoe with a brew while you float down the river, we suggest exploring both! The swamplands here offer ample opportunity for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing on the Black Creek National Scenic River. The primitive camping along the way is hot in the summer, but prime for misty morning photography and inky orange sunsets...worth it! Off-road the Rattlesnake Bay Trail or hike the Tuxachanie trail with your crew for a day of laughs deep in the pines. You can pretty much camp forever here too, so pack up a week or two worth of gear, and really dig deep into what Desoto has to offer.

Our family farm is in its early chapters, and we’re excited for what’s ahead. While we don’t have animals or gardens just yet, we’re preparing the land with big dreams in mind. In the near future, we’ll welcome heritage animals, plant medicinal herbs, and grow edible gardens to share with our guests.
For now, it’s a peaceful slice of Southern farmland — quiet, open, and full of potential — and we’d love for you to be part of the journey as it grows. Simple joys, Southern skies — hygge living on our family farm with three RV sites.
We’re located just 15 minutes from downtown Fairhope and 35 minutes from the beaches of Gulf Shores.

Come camp in the woods right off the Perdido River. There is a short walk to the cabin, either along boardwalks or via a trail, and we provide carts to make it easy. Across the floating bridge is a sandbar where you can hang out with other river rats and enjoy a cold one.
The Perdido River is known for great tubing and kayaking. We have tubes available to loan. A float from Fillingim’s Landing to our sandbar takes about four hours with stops. If you’re looking for an all-day adventure, you can put in at Barrineau Park Bridge.
We are 420-friendly, and if you want to enjoy a beer, we’ll probably join you. There is a large outdoor fire pit and grills available for use. I also have camping hammocks that can be set up for extra guests, as well as a camping toilet. All I ask is that you clean up after yourselves, bring all trash up front to the garbage cans, and keep the volume down by 10:00 p.m.

This property right on the upper Escambia River is easy to get to, fast enough away to feel like you're in the wilderness, but close enough to allow you to see everything you want. The site is an easy pull through. And unique to camps I've see so far, the sewer has an RV connection. No need to use your elbow. Just screw your sewer line directly to the sewer. Brilliant!
Richard and his wife were the best hosts, getting me as I arrived and checking on me throughout my stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Had a great stay. Very close to the river. The small cabin was a great size for me and my one friend. The one issue we had is we didn’t have an air mattress for the floor, our mistake. Make sure you pack ours if you book. There are plenty of trees surrounding the picnic table and the campfire so you can hang up hammocks. The outhouse provided was not a for a walk at all from the cabin. Overall, had an amazing time and would book again! Great for camping

Loved this spot! Very secluded and isolated. Didn’t see or hear another person in three days. Great directions and communication from the host. My 2 wheel drive Tacoma got me within about 75ft of the sandbar. Any amount of recent rain would require 4wd for sure. Feels very safe while very secluded. Awesome hearing the coyotes howl/sing at night! Very limited cell phone service. Starlink worked perfectly!

Great and secluded spot. Photos of the signs at the entrance drive are out of date; just find the power pole in the photo (by number) and turn in at the drive at that location. Opens up into a small glade which is really nice, and continue on to find the trail to the beach. In a Ford F150 we didn’t think we’d make it through to very narrow trees on the way to the beach so we stopped short and camped in the woods. Really good spot though and had a great time lounging at the river.
