Summers in the south get stupid hot. So I jumped in the lake. And I don't regret it.

Hidden Lake Farm

Welcome to Hidden Lake Farm!

We are a family-owned farm and hope you enjoy our little slice of heaven as much as we do. Whether you're a new, inquiring camper or a familiar face, we appreciate your support and wish to make your stay with us as memorable as possible.

We offer primitive camp sites (most can accommodate various sizes of RV's), a primitive cabin, and hike-in sites surrounded by woods, a lake, ponds, and unforgettable views.  Each site is unique and offers different experiences.  Activities include hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing.  

We also offer day passes for those wanting to enjoy the property without staying overnight and larger groups have the option to rent out the entire campground for a more intimate experience.  Feel free to reach out for more information regarding these options or for any additional questions regarding our facilities. 

Tons of places to set up tents, but I hid from the July sun in a little grove of trees.

A little obsessed with these ghosty trees in the lake. Super neat.

Pretty gentle road back to the campsite. Only a couple rough spots, but most vehicles could make it!

There were a couple of squirrels around that legitimately threw things at me from the trees... but they were cute so I let it slide.

Quick path to the water right outside my tent.

This is the longing look you get when you forget your fishing poles.

Treehouses, Off the Grid!

Owned by my Dad who said I could build a tree house on it in 2014. It really was a dream come true. My Dad's original intent was to make it into a huge farm. Now, he is content with building a few treehouses! I have wanted a tree house since I was 10 years old. My siblings and I would spend hours make believing our own tree houses of twigs, rock and moss. It was where we felt at peace. When I turned 35 I knew something was missing in my life. I returned to doing fun adventures again and one led to another and we found tree climbing. EarthJOY tree adventures was founded in 2007 and since then we have guided 1000's of climbers into the trees and watch as they do tree tricks like yoga poses and coming down like spiderman.This land is magical and a world of adventure awaits you!
