Permaculture in Paradise Nahunta,GA

10 sites · RVs, Tents250 acres · Yulee, GA

5 miles of riverfront property on the Satilla River with long beautiful sandy beaches. Great for hiking, canoeing and kayaking. We are a self sustainable farm encouraging everyone to participate. We have gardens as well as animals. We also rescue abandoned and farm animals. Permaculture in Paradise is a nonprofit 501c3 organization started in December of 2018. Our mission is to build awareness of a more environmentally friendly self-sustainable method of producing a higher quality and nutritional variety of food while providing and encouraging the consumption of a more nutritional diet to the youth of our community. Our vision is to change the behavior of children now and the diabetic and obesity rates of future generations through healthier and more traditional diets provided by better farming methods using Permaculture. Within the Permaculture is a community activated, working farm that will educate, support, and inspire the participants, school tours, and visitors to eventually reproduce Permaculture gardens of their own. Gardens that will continue to provide a variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs for families throughout the area and beyond. Changing the minds of young and old to a safer and more natural way of growing their own food and to improve the choices they make about the foods that they consume. Our primary focus is to change the behavior of children by changing the food they choose to eat. As they tour the farm, they can pick the fruits and vegetables of their choice to bring home with them. They can also pick fruits and vegetables to bring to the smoothie shack where we make them a smoothie of their own design. All of these services are free. We, as Permaculturist, have the responsibility to keep this knowledge alive by offering as much training as possible. We have designed a coordinated efforts program in which we provide free instruction in Permaculture techniques. We have just completed a free 12 week course in HOW TO BUILD A PERMACULTURE GARDEN IN THE BACK YARD OF AN HOA SUBDIVISION (See attached syllabus) Permaculture in Paradise strives to create a complete ecosystem by rescuing abandoned and neglected farm animals. While these animals are free to roam and engage with minimal fencing, they are content to stay in their happy oasis. Guava trees near the duck pond provide the ducks with a shaded resting spot. The ducks feed on vegetable plants growing near the pond. The chickens happily share space with the ducks and feed on any insect intruders in their vegetable garden. All 4 ducks were rescued at a very young age (unkown) and have flourished with contentment. We have 8 older hens, producing 7 eggs a day, providing eggs for and shared between the rescued dogs, cats, and a homeless family we sponsor. The goal is to be self-sustainable by growing all food for the ecosystem. We are in the process of rescuing a rooster, 2 goats, and a pig. We have a barn that contains 40 piglets that have all been adopted out. Available for our next rescue, is a mature horse in need. In 2023, we began acquiring larger animals needing shelter. We are creating ties with organizations such as Farm Santuary and Humane Society to rescue farm animals. These animals also serve as entertainment for children who tour the farm. Built on Native American land, we have built 2 playgrounds and a recreational pond for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing and cabins for camping. We strive to make eating fruits and vegetables fun. WE NEED YOUR HELP! WE ARE LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO HELP PLANT OUR ORCHARD. We have received a grant that will provide up to 530 fruit and nut trees of 30 different varieties depending on the number of volunteers that sign up. They will donate 2 trees per volunteer, plus a 3rd tree for the volunteer to take home. The process will take about 2 to 3 hours and will be held on a Friday and Saturday in February, March, or April. You may sign up for Friday, Saturday or both. Because we need the volunteer list in order to determine tree count, we must have a head count prior to knowing the event date. Once we have the date, we will notify you. The grantor understands that some volunteers may need to cancel. Refreshments will be provided. Please visit our facebook page for more information about what we provide. https://www.facebook.com/Permaculture-in-Paradise-2174908842777855/ Thanks so much for your help! Thank you for your time and effort! Melissa Bordelon CFO 9045300359

LowBranch Farm

3 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Townsend, GA

Here at Low Branch Farm, we want you to experience the natural beauty of the area. This area is magical, as we back up to a tidal marsh, the Spanish moss blows in the wind of the tall oaks planted firmly in the ground, the pines create a sanctuary to the lightning bugs that show up at the beginning and end of summer. My husband and I are world travelers who enjoy meeting people and share stories. We have two sites where people can tent camp, both with firepits. We have a spot for your car/camper/RV. We do have two farm dogs and a cat, so if we approve your animals, please keep them on the leash at all times! We are currently working on building an outdoor flushing toilet and shower for our campers! We have four kayaks that are available upon request if you want to explore the last bit of the Sapelo River. There is alot to check out in this neck of the woods, but also several areas just to chill in nature on our property. We are about 15 minutes from the second oldest planned town in Georgia (Darien), and 45 minutes from Savannah.

Beach RV camping near Jekyll Island guide

Overview

Nestled between branches of East River in Glynn County, Jekyll Island is a lively vacation destination on Georgia’s Atlantic Coast. Golf lovers can play a round at Jekyll Island Golf Club, the largest public course in the state, while history fans can learn about the island with a stroll through the Historic Wharf District. Dive into nature and snap a shot of stunning driftwood formations at Driftwood Beach, then bike down to Great Dunes Beach Park for a visit to Georgia’s only sea turtle rehabilitation center. Take a day trip off the island to Altamaha Wildlife Management Area to see natural cyprus swamplands. Stay overnight at campsites near the swamps or within easy walking distance from Driftwood Beach, with plenty of comforts like bathhouses, electricity, and full hookups for RV camping. Bike trails, walking trails, and well-maintained roads make it easy to travel between campgrounds and beaches in minutes.

Where to go

Driftwood Beach

Take in sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Saint Simons Sound at Driftwood Beach on the north end of Jekyll Island. Towering weathered trees make this beach a popular destination for photographers, while easy access to Clam Creek Picnic Area makes for family and pet-friendly fun. A campsite within walking distance offers full hookups and tent camping, as well as wifi, hot showers, toilets, and coin laundry.

Great Dunes Beach Park

A trip to Great Dunes Beach Park offers campers a chance to relax in the picnic pavilion, stroll along the shore, and explore 20 miles of public biking trails. Easily accessible by Ben Fortson Parkway, Great Dunes is a popular day-trip destination or a great addition to longer stays in Jekyll Island campground. For a rare look at local wildlife, visit the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. Lucky campers may even spot releases of rehabilitated turtles at Great Dunes Beach.

Altamaha Wildlife Management Area

An hour drive north of Jekyll Island, Altamaha Wildlife Management Area offers wildlife viewing, hunting, fishing, canoeing, and camping in natural cyprus swampland. Hunters can pick up a license for game, including deer, turkey, and waterfowl, with options for specialty hunting spots—like archery-only and dog training areas. Stay overnight at rustic campsites inside the management area for easy access to hiking trails.

When to go

Spring and summer are most popular for camping near Jekyll Island, when warm weather makes for comfortable hiking, boating, swimming, and making sandcastles on the beach. June through August is the busiest time, with temperatures averaging around 90°F. Advance booking is recommended for campsites, lodging, and busier activities. Campers seeking a quieter stay may enjoy visiting in fall and winter, when cooler temperatures averaging around 60°F in January make for fewer crowds and affordable campground reservations.
