We own a small farm on 64 total acres with around 59 wooded. We have 4 primitive camping sites with lots of woods, wildlife, and two small creeks. We are even located on a short dirt road to give you that country feel. All of our sites are spread out from one another and you will feel secluded in the woods with nature. On our farm are free range chickens, peacocks, goats and a donkey in a pasture, turkeys (wild and domesticated), honeybees (in the field), and a few outdoor cats. We enjoy our animals and nature. We want to share this experience with others so we have decided to rent a few camping spots that we have shared over the years with our children. Enjoy the peaceful nights and the sounds of nature and star lit skies. In the daytime check out our farm animals, walk the trails, or explore the woods. Guest are welcome to pet and feet the animals if they choose. We are conveniently located less than two miles from a Dollar General, three miles from several restaurants right of I75, 8 miles to nearest Walmart, under 20 minutes to High Falls State Park, under 25 minutes to Dauset Trails Nature Center, and under 30 minutes to Indian Springs State Park. All of this located close to our property while being only 3 miles from the I75 on ramp at exit 205.

Weekend Trip to Surewood ForRest

The campsite was secluded and very private. Very nicely kept. Fire pit and a food prep table. Plenty of room. The hosts were very hospitable.

Weekend Trip to Surewood ForRest

This is a great secluded spot for over night or a weekend trip. Me and my two brother in laws wanted a quick getaway. It was easy to get to. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. I had plenty of room for my sprinter and a jeep with two tents and space for cooking around the fire. I would highly recommend checking this spot out.

1 night at Surewood ForRest

I had a wonderful stay on JoLane and Sam's place. JoLane offered prompt replies and all information needed for arrival. Sam (a veteran) met me and guided me to Site 4. We had a nice chat about local going-ons... all the more making me feel at home. The site was just right for my Colorado and 16ft camper. That being said, this site would be perfect for single or multiple tent camping! I enjoyed the peaceful feeling of being in remote, deep woods... without really being far away from conveniences or access to major roads. Do yourself a favor a spend a night or two here!

The best private sites RV parks near Macon guide

Where to go

Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park

Explore the ancient landscapes of Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park, originally settled by Paleo-Indians over 12,000 years ago. Mississippian burial mounds, eight miles of wilderness trails, and Walnut Creek wetlands promise hiking adventures year-round. Ocmulgee Mounds also provide an exciting backdrop for annual events like September’s Ocmulgee Indigenous Celebration and the Lantern Light Tour held in spring. Nearby campgrounds and cabin rentals are available.

Lake Tobesofkee Recreation Area

Fish, swim, or boat at the Lake Tobesofkee Recreation Area, a popular Macon attraction for all ages. The park features family-friendly amenities like kids’ playgrounds and a popular disc golf course. Launch a boating excursion from Lake Tobesofkee’s 35 miles of shoreline, or camp year-round within its 1,800 acres of protected forests—many of the area’s campsites offer paved tracks for RVs, picnic pavilions, electric hookups, and bathhouses.

Amerson River Park

Camp near the high bluffs of Amerson River Park to enjoy pristine views of the river and its tree-lined banks, then head out to kayak, canoe, or float downriver. Seven miles of trails offer scenic views of the park's meadows, forests, and marshes, too. Although no camping is allowed within the park, there are plenty of campsites nearby for tenting or RVing, as well as rustic and fully furnished cabin rentals.

When to go

Macon offers fun year-round, with peak camping between April and October, when weather allows for a more diverse range of outdoor activities. Though some campgrounds shut down for winter, many remain open with basic amenities such as restrooms and water. It’s also possible to find cabin rentals and RV parks that offer year-round accommodations near Macon’s most popular recreation areas.
