The property was great. The space was large enough to put up 2 inflatable tents, a kitchen and gazebo with plenty of room left over. The hosts were absolutely amazing. Anything we needed they supplied or gave us recommendations for places to go. We will be going back and will make it a yearly destination. We can't thank them enough!

My 2nd time here and I’m so thankful I chose the same spot. I didn’t get to explore the trails the 1st time, so it was a nice treat this time. Charity is a wonderful host and I couldn’t ask for better! We love the isolation and seclusion of the site. It is right off the highway and is a little busy during the day with traffic but it tapers off late afternoon/evening and maybe a few cars between then and the next morning. There is a tree line, so it isn’t wide open to the road. Passer bys can only see the porch lights at night through the trees. We felt completely safe, even the first time I stayed with just my girls and left the hubs at home. We really enjoyed the cute little eggies and their little carton Charity left for us. Bathrooms were good and nice hot water. All in all, we were glad a weekend away from the kids and a visit with my brother was enjoyed at Blackbird Farm.

A hidden gem only minutes away from FDR! As much as I love GA State Parks in general and FDR in particular - I won't camp in FDR as long as this wonderful place is available. Exactly as described: you have the entire campsite for yourself. Peaceful and quiet! At the same time, you don't feel lost in the wild: there are other houses (nearest is maybe 2-3 hundred yards away, you can't see it, but you know it is there) and you can still drive to Warm Springs for your morning coffee. FHU worked perfectly, the site is flat and easy to back in. You may want to bring a flashlight because it is dark at night. Also bring outdoor table and chairs is you wanna sit by the campfire.

1 night at Piney Hills Campground
Camping in the A frame was absolutely perfect. We arrived late and left early as it was just a stop on our travel but it was exactly what we needed. The grounds were clean and quiet. The bed and bedding was more comfortable than most hotels. We used the AC in the A-frame for a little while but it cooled so well we ended up turning it off. The showers were huge in comparison to other campgrounds and they were very clean with hot water. Wish we could've stayed longer than the one night. We'll definitely go back on our next trip!

This was such a hidden gem! The cabin was adorable, clean, and close to a very nice bathhouse. We were right next to two friendly ponies, and a short walk from a variety of animals, which the kids loved feeding. The campground was clean, quiet, and peaceful. Lisa was so kind, and even brought us a bottle of wine because we were there to celebrate a birthday. We will absolutely be back!

We stayed two nights in the large A-frame and had a wonderful time. The campsites are spacious, not crowded together like so many others. The bath house was clean, quaint, and so adorable. They even had motion sensor lights to light up the area as you walk up to it at night. Their animals are so precious and are fun to interact with. There is quite a lot of acreage and many trails, unfortunately we did not get to take advantage of them this trip (next time!). The hosts, Lisa and James, are incredible people that go above and beyond if needed. Their Farm and Campground is a continuous work in progress, but you can tell it is a labor of love. This is not a place for those who love KOA type campgrounds (no pool, no clubhouse or tennis courts, etc...), but I would highly recommend it for those who truly love to camp. And as we travel with our two little dogs everywhere we go, it was important for us to find someplace that was pet friendly. Our dogs had a great time meeting all the animals and seemed to enjoy their stay as much as we did. Lisa and James even provided some treats for them upon our arrival. Overall, a great experience!

This place is wonderful and I hope to be able to stay here again. My friend and our dog stayed in an A-Frame campsite. Throughout our stay I was so impressed with how our Piney Hills Campground site had all the simple necessities. Nothing more, nothing less, & in a pleasant style/decor. The land is beautiful, and it is filled with the world's cutest animals ! Emus, ponies, geese, ducks, chickens, goats, and three little piggies seemed as happy to see us as we were them. We got to listen to the sound of a distant (perfect volume) train whistle and rooster crowing during our stay too. A very comfortable time in nature was had. Thank you, Piney Hills Campground !

Weekend Trip to Piney Hills Campground
I loved the glamping experience here, lots of cure animals on the property like ponies,lamb,ducks an Emu and the sweetest farm dogs you'll ever meet. Hot water in the showers and every site came with a fire pit,grill and picnic table. Had a lovely weekend here and can't recommend the wine tour enough.

* “Clothing Optional” by the way, just do yourself (and any unsuspecting passersby) a favor: park a bit off the road unless you're aiming for a headline “Nudists accidentally wave at a bus full of nuns.”😎
My wife and I are die-hard Hipcampers, roaming the countryside in our solar-powered, off-grid Airstream trailer—fondly known as “Buff”, because she’s sleek, shiny, and enjoys basking in the sun as much as we do. And no, we're not your typical travelers… unless your typical traveler prefers their Vitamin D “au naturel”. 😎
On our latest adventure, we rolled into a gem of a Hipcamp site in Woodland, Georgia. Think “private paradise meets southern charm”. The host was incredibly responsive—like, “answer-your-message-before-you’ve-even-sent-it” kind of responsive.
A few miles down the road lies The Little White House, where FDR came for polio treatments and, tragically, took his final breath. There’s an unfinished portrait there—started on the day he died—which now hangs in hauntingly poetic tribute. Art history meets presidential legacy… all a short distance of your camp chair.
We also detoured to Columbus, just a scenic half-hour drive away. Pro tip: take the River Walk, rent some bikes, and refuel at one of the town’s top-notch vegan restaurants. Because nothing pairs with historical exploration quite like plant-based deliciousness and a gentle breeze.
We loved every sun-soaked minute—and left with full hearts, happy bellies, and exactly zero tan lines😎

Weekend Trip to The Hollow: Off-Grid Paradise
What stood out most about Tiffany’s land was the peaceful seclusion—it’s the perfect place to truly disconnect and recharge. The property offers a great mix of on-grid and off-grid experiences, giving you the freedom to enjoy nature without sacrificing comfort if you don’t want to. The land feels expansive and private, with plenty of space to explore, relax, or just breathe in the stillness.
One tip—be sure to plan your trip during good weather. Since it’s a more natural and remote setting, the experience is best enjoyed when the conditions are clear and comfortable.
Tiffany is a gracious host, and you can tell the land is cared for with intention. Highly recommend for campers, creatives, or anyone needing a reset.

The property was beautiful, spacious, and very quiet. My husband and I had a great time relaxing with our dogs away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Directions were clear, hooking up was easy, and the hosts were very nice. We would absolutely stay again.

Where to go
Florence Marina State Park
About 40 minutes south of Columbus, Florence Marina State Park offers terrific opportunities to fish for bass, bream, and catfish in Walter F. George Lake and Chattahoochee River. The accessible pier and boat ramp can accommodate anglers of all types who hit the bait shop in the visitor center from spring to fall. After a day on the water, spend the night glamping in a cottage, camping in a tent, or settling in at a back-in or pull-through RV campsite with full electricity and water hookups. Picnic tables, fire rings, and a children’s playground are among the amenities in this quiet Georgia park.
Tuskegee National Forest
Cross over to Alabama, less than an hour east of Columbus, to visit Tuskegee National Forest, home to hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding trails that vary in difficulty. Check with the Tuskegee Ranger District office for camping permits at one of the year-round designated primitive campsites. For big-game hunters, Tuskegee is the only national forest in Alabama without a wildlife management area (WMA), but licenses are still required.
F.D. Roosevelt State Park
Less than an hour north of Columbus, near Pine Mountain, sits F.D. Roosevelt State Park—the largest state park in Georgia covering 9,000 acres. Hikers and backpackers can daytrip in or reserve a pet-friendly campsite next to a small fishing pond. Cast a line from the shore or head out in a kayak to catch catfish, bream, and largemouth bass. Back-in and pull-through RV campsites are open year-round with up to 50-amp electrical hookups, water hookups, picnic tables, and firepits. Shared amenities include laundry facilities, restrooms, and showers.
When to go
The hot and humid summer in Georgia is also the peak tourist season for campgrounds in Columbus. For a milder, quieter escape into nature, reserve a campsite in the spring or fall. In spring, daytime temperatures hover around 70°F. During this time, many campers hike among the blooming wildflowers. Fall temperatures are a bit chillier, around 60°F, with picturesque foliage creating a colorful backdrop for year-round hiking trails in the region. Spring and fall tend to be the best times for fishing near Columbus, as well, particularly for bass.
