Heirloom Hamlet

5 sites · RVs5 acres · Ridgeland, SC
Why buy a home when you can build a fairytale? Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge. About 4 years ago we left our South Florida handcrafting furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between some of the old fashioned world that we'd found ourselves missing, and the handful of modern advancements that were actually beneficial. All while keeping it classy. At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cabins, installing solar, composting, planting, and building toilets that are better for our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever reasonable. So, we are incorporating both alternative and municipal utilities as they can fit into our homestead design and limited budget. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" small living can feel. We all have personal priorities and those will vary greatly, and that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our fellowman. After all, if we don't have that, what do we have? To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also would like it if we inspired onlookers to possibly look at their own space and life a little bit differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to distinguish real desires and needs from the ones we've been groomed to pursue, and then work to make them a reality. We've found it energizing to witness our fellowmen and women pursuing a dream. We'd like to be a stimulating memory along any person's journey. Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. That, as our paths cross, we won't be held to a business-first standard that we have worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realize everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.

Beefield Apiary

A roadside stop near peanut and cotton fields with water and power. Once upon a time a very busy apiary, now a mild beekeeping field and farmers bee supply store. We’ve a fire pit if you bring your wood. Beware the two barn cats, one who is named Cat-Dog because he greets people like a dog, follows his owner everywhere outside and is an old greyTom. Meet the retired folks who spend time with the Husky and the chickens; perhaps one of us is in one of the shops; the blacksmith or the carpenter or the beekeeping shop. We are just down the road from the Ogeechee River for fishing and kayaking.

Forest camping near Savannah with campfires guide

Overview

Savannah, Georgia is the epitome of Southern charm, with picturesque architecture, magical Spanish moss trees, historical tours, and a serene coastline. Mainstays like Tybee Island invite nature lovers and beachgoers, and landmarks like The Olde Pink House offer a chance to learn from days gone past. Campers will love that the nature excursions near Savannah are both easy to access and filled with surprises—especially if you’re up for a camping adventure.

Where to go

Tybee Island

Take a quick 30-minute drive from downtown Savannah to Tybee island, which has a wide range of recreation, entertainment, and dining options for visitors. Kayaking and standup paddleboarding are popular here, with multiple rental shops directly on the island. Visitors can also go fishing or ride a bike along the island’s bike paths (Tybee was named one of the most bicycle-friendly places in America!). This island also offers camping options with picnic tables, RV sites, and everything else you’d need.

Oatland Island Wildlife Center

If you want to see some of Georgia’s wildlife in a protected habitat, visit this 100-acre wildlife center, which has a 2-mile hiking trail and five core exhibit areas. Thirty-nine species are represented, including bison, alligators, bald eagles, cougars, gray wolves, armadillos, and many more.

Forsyth Park

Forsyth Park is a massive sprawling green urban space filled with history and nature. It’s home to the oldest foundation in Savannah, dating back to 1858, and it’s a great place to tie up a hammock and relax beneath the live oaks. The park also hosts a number of festivals and farmers markets, depending on the time of year, so be sure to check the schedule ahead and take advantage of these cultural events.

When to go

Savannah is a great place to visit year-round, as the coldest months of the year are still in the 60s. However, the best time to camp in Savannah may be between March and July. You can also take advantage of the azalea season in spring, where pink and coral blooms fill the city with their bright colors.

Know before you go

  • As with any tourist destination, the month of June through August can be particularly busy due to summer vacation from school.
  • Savannah has a renowned bicycle loan program, so pack accordingly and plan to take advantage of the Chatham Area Transit (CAT) bike program.
  • Savannah is a great place to tour and learn about history, so do your research and book in advance to take advantage of these educational experiences.
