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.

When I moved onto Windy Lane as a child in third grade, our road was a country dirt road. I have a lot more neighbors now, but my little piece of heaven has remained country.
My husband, Randy and I enjoy the peace and quiet we get and the plus of being close to the Interstate for when we need to make trips to Atlanta.
My land is still surrounded by a fence, now rusted, that my Daddy put up when I was a child. The property is big enough for us to enjoy and small enough for us to maintain.
My wildlife camera has captured photos of deer, coyotes, foxes, opossums, raccoons and an occasional dog and cat from the neighborhood.
We hope you will stop by and visit with us. Safe travels and may the road rise to meet you and the wind be at your back!Learn more about this land:Pitch your tent in your favorite spot on our 5+ acre lot. Our niche is privacy and our cute little Nigerian Dwarf goats grazing nearby. Once you are on our property, you will quickly forget you are just a mile from Interstate 75. We are located off Exit 205 and are 40 miles south of Atlanta and 35 miles north of Macon.We are just 5 miles from High Falls State Park and Indian Springs State Park (where kayaking, boating, fishing, hiking, etc. are available). We are just 3 miles from Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary and 6 miles from Dauset Trails Nature Center. Both are must sees for animal lovers. If you love stockcar racing, we are just 18 miles from Atlanta Motor Speedway. Activities there aren't just for "race weekends."If shopping is more "your thing," we are just 7 miles south of Tanger Outlet Mall in Locust Grove, Georgia.

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.

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!

Staying at the farm has been one of the best camping trips I’ve ever taken! Mrs Jo and Mr Sam were the absolute best hosts anyone could ask for! Had help unloading and bringing my gear to the site. They were also so nice to let me borrow a small heater for when it was going to get down to freezing. The weather was beautiful and the walks through the property were great. My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed being around the goats and the mule since we stayed at the goat site. Enjoyed waking up to the roosters and peacocks. Plenty of good deadfall for firewood and the sites are set up very well. I also brought home some soap and honey that were made at the farm. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend of relaxation and time in the woods. So many great things, but too many to list! You will definitely have to go experience it for yourself! I will definitely be returning!

very welcoming and accommodating hosts. It was a peaceful stay. Their goats are very cute. The peacocks are beautiful. At the time of our visit there was plenty of firewood and if you are a mushroom hunter, plenty of what I believe to be chanterelles.

What a sweet spot! So conveniently close to I-75, since U was traveling through. Sharon was responsive and hospitable, and sent excellent instructions since I was arriving late and after dark. I only wish I could have stayed longer!

The best camping near Macon with swimming 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.
