The property has been in my family since the early 1930s.
the old homestead was my Great Grandparents,
it still standing and I currently under demo once complete we are building a small cabin
The old barn is now where most of the birds roost. The Greasy Skillet is now a big chicken coop.

What is now my home was my grandparent's house.
I renovated some of it and moved in after the loss of my grandma.

On our farm we grow Christmas Tress, have 2 beautiful cypress ponds full of waterfowl and fish.

In just over 45 minutes you can be playing on the beach in Panama City Beach, (world’s most beautiful beaches). Something a little different is just a few minutes away Falling Waters state park (Florida's tallest waterfall) and a swimming hole with walking trails. Speaking of swimming Ponce De Leon spring is big and beautiful clear blue hole spring to the west. Or go east to Marriana, about the same distance and you can visit Florida Caverns (Florida's only touring cave) with a beautiful spring with swimming, and hiking there too. We have guest also go to the Econfina Springs and canoe rental and spend a day floating the beautiful Ecofina River with 8 springs to visit on a days float. There are many State parks so close.

Thanks to the Reviews here AND the quick Reply to my HipCamp message ~ booked an unexpected getaway. WHAT a great place to start the new year and experience the 1st full moon. The hosts were super accepting and accommodating of my late arrival. It's only an hour away to put your toes in the sand! And that sparkling clean, hot shower is a huge bonus after a day at the beach. Even got a guided tour of the property. Peaceful & private ~ perfection! The hosts' care for the campers promotes an obvious feel of community. CanNOT wait to go back in the spring!

RV and primitive camping spots are located in close proximity to a few lightly traveled roads, but worth mentioning if someone has concerns about trying to camp in a really remote location. I like that they have some wire fencing around perimeter of the property to help keep out most wild animals and to indicate it as privately owned property along with the signage. I really like that there is an outdoor under cover potable water deep sink available and hose with nozzle for rinsing off sand from boots or other things that you should not rinse in a sink. The port-a-potty was spotless and has an automatic light that turns on when you open the door. It is worth mentioning that there are dogs that bark on occasion from what seems to be neighboring properties that are quite some distance away, as well as early morning roosters, but was not really a concern for me due to the white noise that I had running inside my sleeping setup (fan and light music). These are all sounds to be expected when visiting a country setting and nothing that seemed to go on for an unusually long period of time. One of the owners Sherry is incredibly friendly, responsive, flexible, understanding and accommodating. When I visited it was around the holidays and I think I was the only "camper" on the property. I booked three nights, however due to family obligations I was only able to stay one night. Even though I didn't ask for any refund for my unused booked nights, Sherry was quick to do so...very kind.

Ronald and Pat are a wonderful couple who created a special spot, super cozy and equipped, under the amazing high pines.
We spend 2 nights with our baby and had a relax quiet family time. First time in nature for our trip and loved it! The garden is slowly developing in to a jewel between the forests trees. The gas heater did the work, we had nice and warm inside the tent.

The host was super friendly, greeted me once I pulled up and showed me to my site. There is a clean restroom with sink for use, though it is a compost/pump your own water situation, it’s private and easy to get to.
There were plenty of birds to sky watch, saw a baby deer and a cute wondering doggo. My first night here I was informed there was a meteor shower by the host, it was a happy coincidence! The sky was super clear and looked like magic.
Sunset and sun rises are beautiful. Though it gets cold in the winter so be sure to pack accordingly. I wore 3 pants and two jackets to bed along with 4 blankets and was pretty comfy. But any less and I’d be too cold to sleep lol
Felt very secluded, though you can see a few cars coming and going on the road, no one was raving engines and it was far from constant flow. Maybe a car or two in the morning and evenings. Can’t hear any sirens horns or the other stuff that’s common in cities.

I loved tent camping at Maggie’s. Everything I would need was provided: hot shower, clean port-a-potty, and a partial kitchen. Maggie and Michael are the bests hosts I’ve met in my 5 months of traveling. I was met and shown around when I arrived. These two have great musical talents and a lot of stories that I really enjoyed and learned something from. I would absolutley stay here again and may even make it a must stop when in the area.
