Nature Loveres Peace Love & Happine

9. Nature Loveres Peace Love & Happine

45mi from Ripley · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
This property has a limited number of spots available to rent per night until I can clear more. It’s heavily wooded, with gorgeous hardwoods to hike among and enjoy all the natural beauty. Pets are welcome on a leash, or you can set up a pen. Always practice fire safety. The lake is a lovely place to camp by. This site is completely primitive for a true outdoor, country feel — real laid-back vibes. No fighting or weapons allowed! This place is too gorgeous not to share. You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere — a “hidden gem” — yet it’s only a few miles from a store. No hunting or harming animals is allowed, but fishing is fine. This spot is for the true outdoorsman or outdoorswoman looking for a break from the news and the internet. There will be some phone service in certain areas. I’ll start posting pictures as I get them. I’m a mix between a country, tree-hugging, animal-loving hippie, and this is my place of freedom — God’s country 🫶🏻
