Nature Loveres Peace Love & Happine

3. Nature Loveres Peace Love & Happine

38mi from Vernon · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
This property has a limited number of spots available to rent per night until I can clear more. It’s heavily wooded, with gorgeous hardwoods to hike among and enjoy all the natural beauty. Pets are welcome on a leash, or you can set up a pen. Always practice fire safety. The lake is a lovely place to camp by. This site is completely primitive for a true outdoor, country feel — real laid-back vibes. No fighting or weapons allowed! This place is too gorgeous not to share. You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere — a “hidden gem” — yet it’s only a few miles from a store. No hunting or harming animals is allowed, but fishing is fine. This spot is for the true outdoorsman or outdoorswoman looking for a break from the news and the internet. There will be some phone service in certain areas. I’ll start posting pictures as I get them. I’m a mix between a country, tree-hugging, animal-loving hippie, and this is my place of freedom — God’s country 🫶🏻

Lake Tuscaloosa "glamping"

Cost is related to accommodations for both the destination spot AND the on-site "glamping" experience (2019 Newmar Dutch Star- one can also see images on RVshare or we are happy to send them). However, standard rates for this area would apply should we approve your request to bring your own accommodations such as small trailer/pop-up/small camper van or even tent for FAMILY related getaway.. The property is spacious and former home site on beautiful Lake Tuscaloosa. There are full hookups (50 and 30 amp), sewer and water, and Wifi. There is lakefront access via your own personal boat dock, fire pits, and various seating areas. We recently added an outdoor building with washer and dryer, bathroom/changing room, outdoor shower AND a hot tub that overlooks the lake. There is a public boat launch just down the road along with lakefront restaurants and boat rental establishments nearby. There are multiple convenient stores, grocery stores, a Dollar General and even a hardware store just down the road. At this time, we are allowing guests to camp in our RV on-site (what we call "transient occupancy").
