Guests love staying with us: "My wife, 2 dogs, and I had an amazing weekend stay at Debbie's campsite. The RV site was level and all the hookups were conveniently located and worked great. Her lakefront property is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed walking our dogs around the property and also taking some camping chairs down to the dock to take in the sunset. The firepit can hold a massive fire and I would definitely recommend buying some firewood from Debbie as it is perfectly seasoned and burns great. We really appreciated having the gas grill/charcoal combo grill on site to cook dinners on and there is plenty of space to play some yard games (cornhole, frisbee etc). We will absolutely come back!"

Thomas has a wonderful set up for RV and tent camping The property is well maintained, peaceful and quiet. It has excellent fishing on the lake. Thomas was an excellent host and made sure we felt comfortable on his place. My family and friends will be returning in the very near future. I highly recommend Deerfield Farm

3 nights at Lakefront get away
We took our pop up camper for 3 nights and it was very private and relaxing and had all the hook ups we needed! Our dog loved laying on the dock and my wife loved taking the kayaks out on the lake. I of course enjoyed fishing. Caught bass on a black trick worm about 3 foot out from bank.
The gravel down to the fire is a little loose and I busted my butt lol so be careful where you step! We did have a truck come through behind us around 7am to go fishing.. which I get since it’s a shared drive so not a big bother. We will definitely go back!

Got stuck in Atlanta traffic on our way up so we were unable to set up our tent. It was so nice to have the bunkhouse with a forced air ac system when we got back from our event. We loved having a full bathroom and the views (and sounds) were incredible. We enjoyed our short time there immensely. Highly recommend. *Apple Maps had trouble with directions so maybe try a different navigation

An absolutely beautiful tent camping area! Tucked inside the trees with gentle creek/waterfall, gentle sounds. I was able to make a big fire 🔥 & again the vibe was magical. No light pollution, so, falling up into the night sky. Fairies 🧚♀️ definitely live here.
I did have to 4 wheel it across a field to reach it, but, I have a Subaru so no worries.

Quiet camping spot in front of stables. Hard rock base that is generally steep. Bring a levelling kit and/or jack. Close 30amp plug and water hookups. Water reclamation plant is very close for waste water dump diring business hours.
Our host was pleasant and respected our privacy during our visit. Good communication pretrip.
Getting onto the property is tight, but doable even with bumper pull TT. Horses are on the property but caused no issues.
Close to several activities such as the Botanical Gardens, Shoals, small Zoo, Sandy Creek and Athens. Shopping is within 15min trip. Great place to see Athens without being too close to the city, ie. a campus day visit. Stop in at Wuxtry Music store for some LP records and Toys or Sully's Steamers for bfast and lunch. Nearby Watkinsville has several art galleries, coffee shops, grocery and restaurants.
