1 night at Animal Lover's RV Site

Tracy is a wonderful host with beautiful secluded property. 50 amp and water hook up. If you love all animals, you will appreciate this site.

Weekend Trip to Camp Z Folkston

Great simple campsite for folks visiti g the area. Ron and Sue were very accommodating, especially of our late 9pm arrival. We didn't come with an RV, just a car and some tents. If you're comfortable with primitive camping then it's a great option.

18 nights at Lofton Retreat

We totally enjoyed our stay at Lofton Creek! It's a beautiful quiet setting. We felt like we were camping in the woods. The hosts were wonderful, too. They gave us a lot of suggestions for restaurants and things to do.

2 nights at Camp Z Folkston

Ron and Sue are total sweethearts! Sue sent a video to help navigate to their property as well as a hand drawn map to show the walking paths for myself and the dogs, which was great and super helpful. They have an adorable guest book and literature that they leave out for campers as well. We had a quick severe storm followed by a double rainbow in my two days there, they were communicative throughout and we feel bonded after sharing in mother nature's magic! They left treats out for my dogs. Will stop back if I am ever in the area again 100%

Great directions and place was well kept. Only stayed one night, but it was a great place to stop for the night.

Site one was very private. Quiet. If there wasn’t a fire ban, it would’ve been a great place for a fire. There was a fire pit and a nice picnic table. I would definitely stay here again

Absolutely stunning property with private access to the St. Mary River. 50 amp hookup was great, outhouse was well kept and there were plenty of activities to do on-site.

Weekend Trip to Eden Gardens Jax

Enjoyed camping at Tim’s farm - site 5. He was very accommodating of our late check-in and was very responsive despite being out of town. Fell asleep to a big, beautiful, almost-full moon and the sound of frogs and waterfowl in the pond. Sunrise was lovely.
