We absolutely loved the relaxed and private nature of our stay. The sound of the water and the peaceful surroundings were everything we needed to unwind. We stayed under the RV cover in our campervan and extended tent due to the rain which completely kept us dry! The host checked in on is by text and were proactive in all their instructions and information. I highly recommend and plan to come back!

Francisco was very welcoming and I felt at ease. I didn’t spend too much time at the campsite except to sleep, but it was nice to be in the woods at night and still have access to a modern-rustic toilet/sink. He offered to give me an awning during the rain as well, which I saw too late haha but was appreciated.

Awesome spot, awesome host! Not a full water/electric hookup on the actual campsites, but they are easily accessible with an extension cord and waterhose(300 ft). Perfect for me!

The best thing about this site is the hospitality! The property owner greeted us and helped us find the electric hookups, the water, and the restroom - he was also very responsive to any questions I had. However, they rent out 2 spots so if you have a large tent I do not recommend getting the smaller spot, because it is very small and the adjacent landowners are very close and have a dog that barks nonstop all night. The large camping spot is amazing and removed from the barking dog. We stayed in both spots and the small spot was very difficult to fit into because I have a large tent. Overall I recommend it because it’s a great location near town and I live in Acworth and only took about half hour to get there, but it’s also fairly remote near Red Top mountain. Pros: amenities, hospitality, convenience to town, great room to spread out if you get the good site. Cons: houses very close by, just off noisy road, limited space if you get the smaller site

Very peaceful and private! Plenty of firewood to gather and burn!

The camping area was perfect! The field behind the owner's house drops in elevation so there's a hill between the house and the camping area. No houses to be seen anywhere when camping, leaving perfect privacy! It was great to let the dogs roam without worry as well. Would love to come back for a longer stay soon!

Had an absolutely great time, close to Atlanta, but yet still secluded enough for you to enjoy nature. Francisco met us at the beginning to give us the lay of the land and was very helpful. We had a great time and loved the amount of privacy you are able to get.

This was a beautiful place to camp! I camped at a secluded site in the forest. There were also two great sites next to the river that were less secluded. Don was a great host and very helpful.

Camping was great! Lots of land for the kids to roam and a wonderful setup with the fire pit, lights, river. Went the extra mile to make the usable property welcoming and feeling of disconnecting with nature.
