I would most definitely recommend Damon's land for camping! It was peaceful and quiet but not too far from town. As a solo female camper, I felt safe. Having access to the RV (which could have been a little cleaner, but was not the worst public bathroom I've seen!) with a flush toilet, hot running water, and shower was a game changer for my trip ~ I had planned to split my 2 week vacation between camping and hostels, but decided to camp the whole time! I will camp on Damon's land again the next time I am in Louisiana!

I would definitely recommend this spot to others! It's peaceful & quiet. Beautiful area right on the river. Having access to the RV with hot running water, a shower & flush toilet was a game changer! I had planned to split my trip from Maine between car camping & staying at a hostel, but decided to stay on Damon's land for my whole vacation.

This campsite is beautiful. The host, Damon, is a wonderful guy. He does live on-site which wasn't an issue, in fact, I felt safer knowing he was around. The upkeep on the property is well done. Damon allowed us to move sites when we realized we weren't getting as much shade as we wanted in the peak of the day. Our dogs had plenty of room the explore and run. My husband and I were so impressed that we extended our stay. Other notes: This property isn't super remote. Yes there are neighbors and traffic but nothing remotely as bad as a hotel by the interstate or even a KOA.

Very tranquil and beautiful spot in nature. Just what the doctor order after packing it out of New Orleans enroute to Denver. Damon is super helpful and will accommodate you. He moved me in closer and mowed grass before I moved over too. Definitely would return!

We really enjoyed our two nights at Damon’s camp site. It was so quiet and peaceful, exactly what we needed. Upon arrival, Damon provided the electric cord and it was easy to get hooked up. Water hose was near by, the shower and flush toilet, located in an older trailer was much appreciated.

We really enjoyed having access to the beautiful creek. Exploring upstream and downstream was one of the highlights of our trip. We took our chairs and our coffee each morning and sat on the sandbar while the sun rose. It was very peaceful. Cooking over an open fire each night was also extremely enjoyable.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin

I was in town for a few days working in Natchez and decided to book this cabin for a nature getaway, since I’d previously stayed in hotels and wanted a different experience. The drive to and from Natchez was easy and manageable. I stayed two nights, and the cabin had everything I needed. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the AC was ice-cold—perfect after a hot day outside. Zach went above and beyond by providing plenty of firewood and bottled water, which made the stay super convenient. I didn’t need to leave the cabin for anything. The location is very secluded; I didn’t see another person the entire time, yet I still felt completely safe. Zach stayed in regular contact throughout my stay, which made me feel especially secure and cared for as a solo traveler.

Campsite with picnic table and firepit steps from Foster Creek.

Zach's land is very beautiful. I was able to camp for two nights. The campsite was secluded and shady. Hardly heard any noise from the road. I felt like I was the only human in existence there. The creek was very nice too. A bit too shallow for fishing but still a wonderful spot to wade around in.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Container Cabin

The container cabin was great! The walk to the creek is nice and there were so many birds in the area. Unfortunately, I picked a rainy weekend, so I didn't get to enjoy the outdoors as much as I wanted to, but one night was clear and perfect for stargazing. The immediate area around the cabin is clear of trees so there's lots of sky to see while still being surrounded by nature. The cabin has all you need and definitely enough space for a couple and one or two kids. The drive to Natchez isn't too long and it's beautiful, so that was a bonus. I guess the rain interrupting my plans means I'll just have to book another stay.
