Wow! What an experience! From the moment we arrived, everything felt so thoughtful and beautifully maintained. The grounds were pristine, and you could tell so much love and care goes into keeping this place special.
The bathhouse blew us away—it was such a treat to have a full bathroom while camping! The cook shack was another awesome touch. Having a real sink to clean after cooking made our experience feel both rustic and fancy.
We stayed at the primitive hike-in Site 8, and WOW—what a gem. Tucked away on a creekside cliff, it felt like our own private hideaway in the woods. Amanda, our host, recommended bringing a cart for the hike in, and I’m so glad she did—it made setting up camp a breeze. The site itself had everything we needed: solar lights, a fire pit with a cooking grate, a trash can, and a picnic table, with tons of room for our tents and gear.
Our two boys spent the entire weekend playing in the creek, which might just be the dreamiest spot we’ve ever seen. We loved being able to float down the water, hike along the property, and just let the kids be wild and free while still having everything we needed close by.
Amanda was such a lovely and thoughtful host. She checked in to make sure we were all set and even passed by while floating the creek herself! That little moment summed up the whole weekend-fun, relaxing, and full of heart.
We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t wait to come back. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven!

I could not recommend Amanda's place more highly! It's in a perfect location, right next to the most beautiful creek and far enough away from civilization that there's virtually no road noise. The bathhouse and outdoor kitchen are both amazing things to have, and Amanda was a helpful and attentive host. I'll definitely be back soon.

Amanda is an absolute gem. She was so accommodating from the start. My sister and I arrived there Thursday afternoon and was immediately greeted by sweet Bella. (Amanda’s dog) She hung around with us for a lil bit and then left to make her rounds of the campground. She came back a lil later and said hello again before headed back home for the night. Amanda greeted us right away as well. She made sure we had everything we needed and even offered to pick anything else up that we may have forgotten when she went to the store later that afternoon. The campground was beautifully set up. We stayed at the RV site. My sister had her RV and I set up my rooftop tent on my jeep. The bathroom facilities are adorable. Amanda went above and beyond when she designed them. Very rustic and quaint. I could go on and on about Amanda and The Wandering Path. She personally called me on our way out thanking us for staying out there and then wished me a happy birthday today. That was the icing on the cake for me:) I told her that we will definitely make my bday and annual trip. Thanks again Amanda for the hospitality. We couldn’t be more happier with our stay. Give sweet Bella some love from us until next time.

Weekend Trip to The Wandering Path
Had a fantastic stay at the wandering path. We travelled with friends and booked yurts 1 & 2 which share the same entrance path so was super convenient. They were close but not to close. There was a good amount of people staying there that weekend but we had no issues with noise or waiting for the restrooms. The bathroom is an added bonus with hot showers. Especially after dipping in the creek. We loved our time there and will definitely be back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway from city life.

I brought my 4.5yr camping at his request. Site 8 was the perfect spot for him to get the full camping feel but to still have access to a bathroom and also our car in the event we had to leave. The area was big enough that we felt secluded but I knew if I needed to find help I could. Which was a good peace of mind for a single mom.

Amanda is definitely a super host ! Mother nature moved us south for better weather and Amanda accepted us on her beautiful property right on the creek. The vibe was relax and every guest we talked to was chill and all had good things to say about their stay. Bella came visit often to make sure we was taken care of. Would definitely recommend this place

Marie and Larry are kind, generous, and the real thing: Alabama homesteaders for generations. They decided to share their beautiful property with folks who are looking for peace and quiet, not frills and frippery.
I walked the land every morning I was there after drinking my coffee serenaded by hundreds of bird. We enjoyed a bout of "severe weather" one evening, with thunderstorms and lightening and heavy rains pounding my little trailer.
Larry and I had the chance to chat numerous times and I learned fascinating things about him and the history of the area. He and Marie even invited me in for a shrimp boil and catfish dinner. Now that's great hospitality.
I stayed in site one, electric no sewer. But I think it's the best spot anyway since you can see the ponds and woods.
I highly recommend Apple Hill and if I lived closer, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

We lucked out here. We had a quiet weekend (as you can with THREE boys 12,13,13). Sheila and Larry were so friendly, they stopped in a bit after we arrived. We were able to chat a bit while we were allowing the boys to be boys… sometimes it’s hard to be able to. It was so refreshing for me to enjoy nature and let the boys do the work and run like heathens for once. We will most definitely be back to this beautiful piece of property.

Very accessible location with one site that has full hookups. A short drive to Gulf Islands National Seashore's Johnson Beach and Perdido Island. Many interesting attractions, such as the Pensacola Lighthouse and Museum and the Naval Aviation Museum. Also near the Flora-Bama Lounge and restaurants that straddle the state line. Very private: Russell was there if we needed anything, but left us alone. There's a little stream and pond in the backyard with lots of birds. There's also a firepit. Overall a great experience.

Perfect spot for camping near the beach if you want to avoid the crowds. We weren't bothered by anyone our entire stay which is what we prefer.
Perfectly level camp site under some shade trees was perfect for setting up our pop up camper. Plenty of open space for our 3 kids to run around. Tucked away but close to everything. Aldi, Walmart, Target 5 minutes away. The beach 10-15 minutes depending on traffic. We had a nice stay here.

We had a fantastic time staying at The Wandering Path. Stayed at tent site #8 which is more secluded and it worked out perfectly since we had a pup with us. This was a nice in-between of a typical state park style campground and backcountry camping. The spots are spread out enough so you aren’t on top of your camp neighbors but you still have a picnic table, fire ring and access to some facilities like an outdoor kitchen and a bathhouse, both of which were very nice and extremely clean. Amanda is a fantastic host and I am looking forward to spending more time camping at the wandering path in the future!

3 nights at The Wandering Path
The whole experience was amazing. Amanda was very helpful and was nice to talk to.
The bathroom set up and kitchen set up was nice and clean. She had small heater, fan, lamp, and heated blanket that made it more comfortable for the cold nights and warm daytime. I liked how she also proved a grill and trash can for each yurt site.
I hope to come back again to enjoy the kayaking and nature view.
