This is our family farm. It's used to raise livestock and grow fresh organic produce.Learn more about this land:Welcome to Faithful Harvest Farm campsites. We have opened our farm for camping. We have a level site to enjoy. Our farm is bordered on 3 sides by water. The campsite is located on Peters Mill Creek. The back of our property is bordered by passage creek. It offers peaceful and private fishing for trout, bass, suckers and several varieties of pan fish. Cool off in the summer with a dip in the cool clean waters or relax and read a book with the sounds of nature. You can enjoy the cows, horses and goats who love the attention! However we ask you let us know before trying to pet or interact with the animals because we do have a Livestock Guardian Dog inside the fence with them and she is very protective of her herd. In the spring and summer we offer for sale fresh eggs and organic produce to our guest. Our property is located in the heart of Fort Valley. We have miles of hiking trails all around. There are 2 horse back riding camps in the area to offer a beautiful view of our area on horseback. The activities are endless. Several excellent wineries are within a short diving distance. There is a fire ring at each site and we provide a free bundle of wood to each guest with more bundles available for $4 each. A porta potty is also located on the property for our guest. Please read the rules and recomendations posted at the site when you arrive. There is no lifeguard on duty, so you swim at your own risk. Although the creek is pretty shallow most of the time, we ask that if you have children, they are supervised at all times, especially around the water. We think you will love our little piece of heaven and we look forward to your visit!

Camping on Jennifer’s land was amazing. We stayed at the Butterfly camp and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We have a mini van and camped in the back of it. The driveway is steep but our van navigated it just fine. Jennifer is very nice and helpful. We even got a visit from one of her farm dogs at our site.

Very nice area, well maintained and lean. We have stayed in both the yurts and in the tent camping areas and both were excellent. The yurts are the only sites right on the water and offer string lights and picnic benches. It is very challenging to find the first time. The site is set well off the beaten path so you feel like you are out in nature. We will definitely be back.
