South Georgia at its best! Down a dirt road through a rusty gate, big night skies and quiet you can feel. We have 150 acres out in the sticks with the Satilla River, Altamaha River, Okefenokee Swamp, Cumberland Island and the Golden Isles beaches nearby. This is a working small organic farm with lots of free range birds and rough edges so dogs need a leash 24/7 and no children under 12. Guests can stay private or share common spaces but either way a respectful, clean up after yourself, lets talk about traveling/rivers/farming attitude is expected. No politics. Simple screened kitchen, shared fire pit with free firewood, outdoor hot shower, pond with a dock and better than 2 miles of hiking trails make it work. Paddlers with their own boats can catch a shuttle to the Altamaha for $30. GPS can be tricky and guide you onto old logging roads that dead end into spooky swamps so follow our directions on Arrival instructions or you'll be gator bait! Come check us out Y'all!

The best camping near Fort Frederica National Monument guide

Overview

About

Imagine if one of the original 13 colonies came under Spanish control back in the 1700s. This easily could have happened if it weren't for Fort Frederica in southern Georgia. Discover the ruins of the fort among the marshes and tall grass on St. Simons Island, in between Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida.

The small masonry fort served as a base for British troops protecting Georgia's southern border. Florida still belonged the Spaniards at the time. Georgia's governor, James Oglethorpe, built to the fort to protect his colony's interests.

Peeking out from behind the tall grass are some cannon placements and the remnants of the grey stone walls of the fort. The surrounding countryside is basically flat. This made it easy to spot any invading forces. Anyone who attacked the fort didn't have a chance.

Imagine hearing the boom of the cannons as they fired at any incoming rowboats. Rangers, some dressed in period costume, help interpret the site for visitors throughout the year. Fall and winter are good times to visit because it isn't so hot.

British troops stationed at the fort were called into action in 1742 when the Spanish tried to take St. Simons Island. British forces held them back. After the battle, the Spanish never bothered Georgia again, and the 500 people living in the town left and never came back. Why should they? The Spanish chickened out and didn't care. Savannah was a much nicer place to live, anyway.

The Redcoats kept Georgia for England, and it helped preserve the original 13 colonies. Too bad England lost all of them, including Georgia, during the American Revolution.
