1.3 acre property hidden in small town Glencoe, AL. Beautiful tall pines enclose this beautiful site in front of an old public cemetery plot that's rarely visited but has a pathway through the woods for exploring, a circle path we named Panther Path will lead you right back to camp. (The name Panther Path has a story. Basically keep an eye out for black panthers in these parts.) Our family and farm animals live on the property as well (Don't mind the rooster in the AM) but there's plenty of room to pitch a tent, bring your camper or skoolie (Please message me after booking and we can figure out how to accommodate your rig best before arrival.) There is plenty of room for a couple tents as well if you are traveling as a group, amenities include: a brick fire circle, wood garden set for sitting with small table and some privacy from our family but a lot of privacy from the outside world, the graveyards are free to explore, but if you go in the gated one we ask that you relatch the gate. Firewood can be ready at your campsite for an additional cost. We have seasonal events as well as a farm stand, a bus shop, and a greenhouse. (These are still projects in progress.) We have two dogs, Boogie - a male and a very large dog, LGD - Livestock Guardian Dog, her name is Maple. Both dogs are very nice and kind. Maple's job is to protect our ducks and chickens from predators. She will bark but she will not hurt you. She will especially love you if you have treats or say 'Hello, Maple!" We will try to have her put away before bookings if enough notice is given. She will not hurt a human, she knows her job and duty on our homestead but she can be nosy as she runs the perimeter of our property often. If you have a fear of dogs or would like to make sure she is put up just send me a message beforehand and I will make sure she is put away secure. She also will not mind other dogs but please make sure if you bring a pet it is kind to other animals and we expect all pets are leashed at all times unless inside your rig.

We enjoyed our thanksgiving stay. The location was perfect for day trips, close to a couple of different grocery options and local eateries. The hosts are helpful and responsive.

We had the best time here! 🌄 Shay and Ken were so welcoming, and my kids had a blast hanging out with their kids — it felt like one big family. Waking up to the rooster crowing was such a cool experience, and my boys loved exploring (so much to see, especially up at the top of the property 👀). We got to feed the ducks, chickens, and goats — and omg, the tacos… totally made the night 🌮💯 Also at the top of the property is more 🪦graves which made this “spooky” trip awesome for our little ones! Graves dated back to the 1800’s!! We had such an amazing experience! Def. Will be back! 🫶

Don’t hesitate to book here! Kat and her entire family are the kindest people. They made sure I was well accommodated and really went above and beyond to make my work trip go a little smoother. I am a single woman that travels alone for work so often times, finding safe places to stay can be overwhelming. I felt safe from the moment I parked and met Ms. Dale. I can’t thank them enough and next time I’m in the area, I know exactly where I’m booking!

The view of the lake was great! I loved being able to jump in & swim right off the dock. The site was plenty big for our camper, trucks and jet skis. Very nice campsite. Perfect to get you out on the lake. Shannon was very helpful when I emailed.

We've stayed at many farms before, but this one is truly special. The love shown to these animals is clearly reflected in the animals personalities. Such sweeties! The hosts were incredibly genuine as well. It was so refreshing to spend time here, not just for the nature aspect, but the hospitality and connection to the animals. The kids and I are already planning our next trip. Also, the stars and privacy are a bonus!

This is a great spot for a private camping weekend. We have a reactive dog and really wanted to be able to take him camping for a weekend where he could enjoy the water and this was the perfect spot for that. We didn’t see a single other person except a few neighbors driving in and out. It was very quiet and peaceful. The spot is very flat to park on and has a great view of the lake. We really enjoyed our time here and would come back. The only downside is the ants, which the host was very forthcoming about ahead of time so this is really more of a “come prepared / nice to know” than a con for this site. The host was also very communicative before and during our stay!

Absolutely fantastic 4 day stay. The site was huge, private but close to town. The lake cove was quiet with an occasional boat or jet ski. The trees provided shade but don't block the view of beautiful Weiss Lake. We will return as it is almost too good to be true 😃

This is a beautiful location overlooking the lake under large shade trees. Perfect for those that want a break from the sun. There is plenty of sun to be had down on the docks if the weather cooperates. Easy to navigate as the site is set up as a pull through with two entrances. Hook ups were in great shape. I have no issue recommending this spot.

Spot is lovely, private and a personal favorite. Will definitely return! Steep incline gives you a work out. Be prepared. Old folks and very young might have a problem getting back up.

There really are no words to describe how nice and helpful Kat and her family have been to us. This place is beautiful and very well kept. The animals were definitely the highlight of this camping adventure. I definitely recommend this campsite. (Farm) to everyone. You will not be disappointed. Peaceful and entertaining at the same time with all of the animals, especially George one of the donkeys who thinks he owns the place😂. Any questions you might have or anything you may need on this property the owners respond quickly. The owners of this campsite go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable at all times. This place gets five stars for For sure ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ without hesitation. I will recommend this location to anyone. If I’m ever in this area in the future I will definitely book again.

The site is wonderful with a beautiful view of the lake and your own private pier on the water. The owners happened to be next door during our stay and they introduced themselves and told us to send a message if there were any issues or questions. We didn’t have any but really appreciated their hospitality. We had to cut our trip short due to weather, but would definitely be interested in staying at this spot again in the future.

We had the most relaxing 3 days at Shannon’s site with 4 adults and 3 kids (10, 8, & 1.5). We spent hours fishing. My eight year old caught 9 bluegills and we observed the real pros catching bass. The huge dock was perfection! You could find us either floating from it or jumping off it during most daylight. All hookups worked like a charm. We will definitely make a plan to return.
