We’ve been traveling for about a month and this is by far the BEST site we’ve stayed at yet. The grounds are gorgeous, the sites are very well maintained and spaced out perfectly for plenty of privacy. Jimmy was awesome and super welcoming. We will definitely be back on future adventures!!

So I love this spot. Host is friendly and cordial. The site was nice, clean, and not crowded. I wanted a forest feel and that’s what I got. Perfect! My son asked if we can do it again next weekend. 😆

Argo’s was great! So peaceful, close to river and lake access, National Forest all around, and plenty of space on site to have our private site! The sunrises were gorgeous and the openings through the tree tops were a gateway view to the moon and stars! Close to has stations and grocery stores but felt far from civilization! Highly recommend!

First, Jimmy was there to greet me and show me around his beautiful property. It is at the end of a very quiet street in a very quiet neighbourhood. My van was in an open area with plenty of space for dispersed camping. My pup and I took a short walk through the wooded area surrounding the main camping field. It was such a perfect setting. This was just an overnight for me but I hope to be back and spend a few days. A great place to kick back and relax. Charming and generous hosts.

First of all, Jimmy is a wonderful host. He and his family were very welcoming to me. I was able to share in a family birthday party and watch some football outside around their campfire. They went out of their way to make it a pleasant visit. Besides this it is a lovely property with lots of room to move around.

This location is a great spot! Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful scenery and a very accommodating host! We liked it so much that we stayed an additional night. I would highly recommend stopping here for a night or more if you’re passing through the Birmingham area in Alabama. We will certainly be back! 👍🏻

Solitude, we saw pheasants, deer and green. We heard nature. We "had to share" the 22 acre Campground with one tent. Unfortunately it was too hot to explore the trails, so we will have to come back. We needed help with something and Jimmy had it organized in no time at all. Altogether: a definit recommandation

We had a great time staying overnight on Jimmy’s land. Jimmy was very responsive and friendly when we asked to fill our water tank. Location is awesome. You are close to shopping and restaurants, but it is nice and secluded for a quiet night of camping. We would definitely stay here again.
