6. FoxPen

34mi from Darien · 17 sites · Tents, Lodging · Hortense, GA

Tucked away on 140 acres of quiet woods and open skies, FoxPen is a place built on dreams, hard work, and a love for the land. For over 24 years, Doyle Watson—along with his wife Lee, two daughters, local friends from Hortense, and a whole lot of heart—has shaped this hidden haven into a space where people can slow down, unplug, and reconnect with what matters most. What began as a single tiny cabin in 1999 has grown into five hand-built cabins, each crafted from local and reclaimed materials and brimming with rustic character. One cabin, the Briar Patch, was once an old tobacco barn and still holds its original door as a proud piece of history. Every cabin, every trail, and every campfire circle has a story—and if you’re lucky, you might hear a few from Doyle himself as you walk the land, sit beneath the stars, or join him on a Tractor Trailer Ride. Before becoming the peaceful retreat center it is today, FoxPen was once a fox-hunting preserve—hence the name. When the Watson family purchased the property, they kept the name but relocated the foxes, allowing the land’s natural wildlife to thrive. At FoxPen, life moves slower. Nature leads the way. And there’s not much to do but play, relax, and savor the simple, timeless things that never go out of style. Managing the rentals is the youngest daughter, Evan—that’s me! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Met Jessica and a couple of ladies from the restaurant, could not have asked for nicer people. The grounds were very nice. RVs were separated from regular campers which I loved. I was under some oaks all by myself. Ate at the restaurant and it was really good. They were having karaoke that night but I was to tired to go. I couldn't hear it from my van though. Slept well. Thanks ladies, all of you for making me feel welcome

Jessica is one of the most responsive and clear communicating HipCamp hosts I’ve worked with. All our interactions were respectful and very helpful to me as a camper. I will also note that finding the place is easy. The property is beautiful and there are lots of options about where to pitch your tent. What really made this place spectacular for me was the stary skies. WOAH! No light pollution at all. My first night I sat out and star gazed until nearly 1AM! I will be back.

Beautiful setting about 20 mins from downtown Savannah, would stay here again in a heartbeat! Level and pull-through (when it’s not raining). We were able to get hooked up properly but provided feedback to make it easier for future travelers. As-is, you’ll need two sewer hoses for sure. The 50A was installed upside down and we were able to finagle our converter in before plugging in, but someone else’s set up might not work. It’s such a gorgeous natural setting, even when it’s raining. You can see in the pictures there is a car, boat, storage on site which didn’t bother us one bit, but again that may come down to preference. It was quiet and safe, good for families with kids like us. Went into town every day with ease. Thanks Brian!

Very nice, clean campground. A lot to explore if you walk around the campground. The sites are really close together, but there were not many campers when I went due to weather. I met the “mayor”, he was kind enough to pass on some cooking and pans he no longer needed. I would stay again.
