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.

Magical Microfarm & Cat Sanctuary

34mi from Macon · 1 site · Tent, RV

Communitowhee (or Towhee) Farm is the rebirth of a retired, 19th century tenement estate located in the Mvskoke Indian territory of Milledgeville, GA. The land is divided into a working, 40+ acre pine forest and a 1-acre tract envisioned as an organic produce farm. On the 1-acre tract, in the pecan grove next to the tiny home where you'll be staying, there is 120v electrical as well as a water hookup. We also have tiki torches and a fire pit for spending time around the fire in the evening. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! All fires must be contained inside the designated hubcap chiminea. Do not attempt to build any fires outside of this container. All fires must be fully extinguished when unattended. We welcome you to join us for an evening or a few on our homestead! The microfarm is complete with D.I.Y. designs; fruit trees, raised beds, composting bins, a bat house, water-catchment barrels, a fruit/vegetable sun-dryer, and a 11-by-40-foot greenhouse. It's our home and humble work in progress community vision. Currently in residence are our domestic and farm cats, some of whom you may meet during your stay. Every step of Communitowhee’s growth has been taken with deep thought and consideration for the health and history of its land. Each infrastructure design has been and will continue to be built from sustainable, up and recycled materials to minimize environmental impact. And, whether it be converting a traditional garden bed into a self-irrigating wicking bed or figuring out how to affix new tires to an antique Radio Flyer wagon — every project has been achieved through grit, trial-and-error, tons of YouTube videos, and the inherited instincts of many centuries of farming ancestors. During the growing season you might find: Eggplant, tomatoes, yellow squash, cucumbers, jalapeno peppers, bell peppers, green onions, garlic chives, kale, collards, cabbage, lettuce, watermelon, cantaloupe, and various herbs basil, turmeric, dandelion, dog fennel, mint, pear, plum, blackberries and fig trees as well as many varieties of blueberry. Our long-term vision for Communitowhee is a hybrid community consisting of an ecovillage, monastery, and workers cooperative, But if we’ve learned anything as newbie farmers, the path to abundance is taken one small step at a time.

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!

6 nights at Sun Valley Horse & Hiking Camp!

This was such a fun place to stay! The weather wasn't the best the week I was there, rainy and cold. But nevertheless the experience of staying at a working stable was fun. Every morning the horses get fed, then let out of their stables into the fields. And every evening they get brought back in. I stayed around the back of the main stable next to the juvenile pen. They have 2 youngsters who I ended up making friends with. If you can't tell I'm not a horse person. But being able to stay at Sun Valley, I'm learning to love them! Definitely worth the stay. Note: you're staying amongst the stables, so expect flies and smells. Enjoy the atmosphere! It's all part of the experience!

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.
