Once a main railway for lumber in Hancock County, this 24-acre property along Bayou LaTerre, acquired in 2010, is home to a small variety of animals, edible landscaping including multiple varieties of fruit trees and seasonal vegetable gardens.
Completely wooded at the time of purchase, the farm is still a work in progress. Daily farm life involves upgrading fences, clearing the 5-acre pasture, building animal pens, installing rain catchment systems, composting, harvesting, canning, baking and our favorite....... feeding the feathered friends.
Pitch your tent in our wooded acreage nestled along side a flowing creek bed. Relax on the sand and watch the squirrels play or close your eyes to meditate with the sounds of nature. A true primitive camping experience awaits you.
Our goal is to provide an unplugged experience for you to unwind and get back to nature so you can release the stress of everyday and enjoy the nature and serenity of our little farm.

I stayed at what I think is the best spot—Campsite 2—and had a great experience. The water was beautiful, and the whole area felt peaceful and relaxing. Damon was helpful and let me know where water might collect if it rained. My dog and I weren’t bothered by anyone and really enjoyed the quiet. I’d definitely stay here again.

We had such an incredible experience staying with Deborah and her husband. They were kinder and more welcoming than I ever could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel comfortable and genuinely cared about our stay.
Deborah went above and beyond by recommending amazing local spots to explore, and every suggestion was a hit. You can tell she truly loves the area and wants her guests to experience the best of it. Their hospitality made the whole trip feel special like we were visiting friends.
If you’re considering staying here, don’t hesitate. It’s rare to meet hosts who are this thoughtful and generous. We would absolutely stay again.
