The farm was once a portion of the McTureus Plantation.  Tony's family members were once enslaved on the plantation. Upon Emancipation a family member bought land and it remained in the family.  Tony is a descendant of those family members whose foresight allowed us to be here today.  Tony's parents entrusted the care and preservation of the property to us and we are doing our best to be good stewards and teach the value of this property to our children and young grandchildren.

The best camping near Savannah with horseback riding guide

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.
