Serentiy at its best. Peaceful land on old country road to get away from city life, but still only a few miles away if you need anything. You will have 18 acres to yourself if you would like to go exploring. It is so quiet here that all you can hear are your thoughts. Setup anywhere on the perimeter. Will have to bring your own tent.

Jan's camping land was perfectly peaceful and exactly what anybody looking for a stop over for the night would want. It's far enough from the university to feel the tranquility of nature, she offers an incredible outdoor shower and a great fire pit to lounge by or cook your dinner over. The bathroom situation was great, and we could not recommend this land more!

The Yoga Barn is a great camping site! The provided firewood and fire pit were lovely. The composting toilet and heated shower were pleasant surprises, very well-maintained and provisioned.
Arrival directions were a bit tricky arriving in the dark but we were able to figure it out.

The yoga barn camping site was perfect for me. I was traveling through, camping in my car with my dog, and we just needed a quiet, grassy, peaceful, dark at night, place to stay where we didn't have to listen to people's TVs or music in their RVs or their generators. I loved it at Jan's place and highly recommend it if you love peace and quiet with your camping!!

So peaceful. The spaces are wide and far enough apart to allow a little privacy. Our site was more than long enough for the truck and 5th wheel. Just FYI, all of the connections are at the back of the site, so make sure you have long hoses if your water and sewer are mid-rig like ours. Nicely treed and far enough off the road that you don't hear the road noise.

The camping area is very large and very secluded. It is mowed grass surrounded by old pecan trees. It is next to a river, but with my bad knees I didn't venture to the top of the dike. Breston invited me in for seafood gumbo and cornbread. I had a great chat with him. I also met his father. I gave him some money for the meal, but I had no problem with that. I would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys southern hospitality.
