Weekend Trip to Creekstone Winery & Vineyards

This was a really enjoyable place to stay for a couple of nights. The view from the camp area, right in front of the winery tasting room, was incredible. The location is perfect if you plan to go into Helen too, it’s only 2 miles away. The winery has a kitchen and they serve craft beer in addition to their wine. Overall, hanging out there is also a great time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating too. Myself and my yorkie Briar had a great time. 100% will be back.

5 nights at Stinnett Farm

We loved camping in our MiniMax teardrop at Blossoms Grove. This family farm was the perfect location, close to Atlanta yet felt very rural. The goats, chickens, & other farm animals were so cute & friendly. The hosts & their family members were super friendly, very responsive to questions, etc & checked in with us frequently to see if we needed anything. They provided firewood and a nice fire pit at our site. Publix & Aldi were nearby for groceries & we would suggest Tammy’s Little Cafe in nearby Conyers as a great coffee spot. We hope to camp here again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Blossoms Grove

We brought our travel trailer for the weekend, it was great! We got to play with the baby goats, and we were not too far out of Atlanta. There’s a lovely Tulip farm we got to check out down the road. Angelia was super accommodating to us and our dogs, she went out of her way to offer us any help and was quick to respond. There was enough space to walk the dogs around, and they loved seeing the other animals. Thank you again, Angelia!

Our street ends in a cul-de-sac, minimizing traffic in the area, but the spot is right along a street. You will be able to see & hear cars going by the site. On the other hand, it is also right along a deer path & just this morning I saw 2 does & a baby walking through the site. There is a resident hawk & a gaggle of turkeys that live in the area in addition to pileated woodpeckers & all sorts of other birds. Come check it out and please let us know if you have any questions. Learn more about this land: We would love to have you at the Pond at Dogwood Acres.
