Camping near Palmetto

·

30 minutes from Atlanta, Palmetto is a tranquil home base for city dwellers with a hankering for camping. Motorhomes can stay in a pet-friendly campground with a firepit, a picnic table, and farm-fresh eggs, while tent campers can find nearby campsites equipped with fire rings and a sheltered picnic area. Sprewell Bluff Park delivers epic outdoor fun, roughly an hour south. Cool off in Flint River, watch for eagles, and hike the Longleaf Pine Trail. Rent a cabin with a king-size bed and private bathroom, or snag a campsite for tents and big rigs with amenities like electrical hookups, fire rings, drinking water, and a dump station. West Point Lake delivers more excitement with 525 miles of shoreline and four campgrounds with over 100 tent and RV sites. Many have water and electrical hookups, along with access to dump stations, flush toilets, and hot showers. Don’t leave without exploring the water on a speedboat, fishing for crappie from the Hardley Creek pier, and mountain biking the Lakeside Trail.

I have a large field that rarely get used so I thought it would be fun to let others use it. I don't have any hookups or a bathroom. Very safe quiet area. Its just a mini hobby farm but you're more than welcome to check out the chickens and my pig Peppa. If the chickens are laying good I will get you some fresh eggs.

The property features a 1 1/2 acre pond stocked with catfish and bream and has a nice little dock with a table and chairs to sit and enjoy the water. There are animals! I have a beloved Scottish Highland cow named Genia and she is joined with two mini bulls and two mini cows. Various numbers of Nigerian Dwarf goats join them in the pasture. There are also a few chickens. Small garden beds and a fruit orchard are on the property and I usually have at least a half dozen projects of one sort or another going on. Several acres are wooded and there is ample space for a nature trail that I try to keep maintained. Several of the usual types wildlife can be seen. Are you an artist or a writer? This is a great place for comtemplation and inspiration. I myself have 40 years experience as an art teacher and professor. If you would like to have a mini workshop, let me help. Water is available not far from the campsites. There is also a portable pop up potty/shower tent (with bucket and seat) available.

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.
