FoxPen
6. FoxPen
23mi from Waycross · 14 sites · Tents, Lodging
Tucked away on 140 acres of quiet woods and open skies, FoxPen is a place built on dreams, hard work, and a love for the land. For over 24 years, Doyle Watson—along with his wife Lee, two daughters, local friends from Hortense, and a whole lot of heart—has shaped this hidden haven into a space where people can slow down, unplug, and reconnect with what matters most.
What began as a single tiny cabin in 1999 has grown into five hand-built cabins, each crafted from local and reclaimed materials and brimming with rustic character. One cabin, the Briar Patch, was once an old tobacco barn and still holds its original door as a proud piece of history.
Every cabin, every trail, and every campfire circle has a story—and if you’re lucky, you might hear a few from Doyle himself as you walk the land, sit beneath the stars, or join him on a Tractor Trailer Ride.
Before becoming the peaceful retreat center it is today, FoxPen was once a fox-hunting preserve—hence the name. When the Watson family purchased the property, they kept the name but relocated the foxes, allowing the land’s natural wildlife to thrive.
At FoxPen, life moves slower. Nature leads the way. And there’s not much to do but play, relax, and savor the simple, timeless things that never go out of style.
Managing the rentals is the youngest daughter, Evan—that’s me! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Located in the heart of southeast Georgia, in a land of tradition, we strive to keep our country roots, where Southern Hospitality meets hillbilly. All our buildings are rustic, in keeping with the old-timey mountain music that we play.
If there's one thing our guests have to say about us over the years, it's that they always leave here feeling like they're part of the family.... because they are.
All our sites are large enough to accommodate even the largest camper or motorhome
Electric, water, and sewer are available, and WI-FI is provided as a courtesy to our guests
Be sure to be on the lookout, and sneak up on the pond and swamp quietly, as you could see wild turkey, deer, beavers, otters playing, birds of all types, including ducks and geese. Once in a great while, you may spot our little alligator hiding out at the back of our pond.

1 night at The Loft At Praise Acres
I got in late and left early so I didn't get the full experience. That said, the communication and directions were good. It was close enough to rt 95 to make the quick overnight convenient. The place was clean and well appointed. You are staying on a farm so I would expect the normal farm sounds like cows and roosters. Plenty of parking and room for my small boat and trailer.

This was an excellent experience. The family vibe at Hostel in the Forest was incredibly welcoming. They have been around 50 years and their systems were clear and my orientation was lovely and complete. The land is really happy and magical. I am so grateful for the opportunity to land in this place for a night, and will certainly return again if the time aligns.

2 nights at Okefenokee Pastimes Cabins and Camp
If you’re going to the swamp to kayak, this is a great location. It is right across from the National Wildlife Refuge entry. I stayed in the most basic cabin, whites just two beds, a mini fridge, microwave, fire pit, and small screened porch. Cabin is the size of a bedroom, basically. Communal shower and bathroom was satisfactory for a camping experience. Don’t expect hotel quality in the bathroom, that’s not what this is about. Charlene, a caretaker, was kind and helpful. I stayed her with my adult son. Perfect for two people. We brought a portable grill to make our own food and also went to Folkston for one dinner. It is quiet and family friendly. The swamp is an amazing natural wonder.
