The best campervan sites near Jay

·

If you're rolling into Jay with a campervan, you're in luck—there are over 1,800 spots set up for vanlife here, from wide-open fields to shady groves along quiet country roads. Most sites hover around $45 a night, but you’ll find some as low as $10 if you don’t mind keeping it simple. Top picks like The Wandering Path (264 reviews), Bay Forest Retreat (252 reviews), and 30A Bay Hideaway (154 reviews) get high marks for level parking and easy hookups. You’ll find toilets, hot showers, and spots to build a campfire at most locations. Jay isn’t just a place to park; you can saddle up for horseback riding, hit the trails off-roading, or dig into local history at nearby sites. Keep your setup nimble—some spots are tucked away, and the best sunrise views don’t always come with a paved driveway.

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 for your use. This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails. This is also a hobby farm with livestock (Donkey, two Goats, a Duck 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 backing during the night. We also host an AirBnB, 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.
