This campsite is a haven for those looking to retreat into nature with a sense of privacy and comfort. Guests consistently praise the picturesque views of the Broad River and the serene environment, perfect for relaxing by the water or enjoying a campfire. The site is well-maintained, offers practical amenities like an air-conditioned bunkhouse and bathroom, and is pet-friendly, making it ideal for families and groups. However, visitors should be prepared for a steep walk to the river and spotty cell service, adding a touch of rustic charm to the experience.

Camping with 3 teens and a dog!
Tent · With pets
Hidden Gem! I almost dont want to review it..... for the simple fact that its almost one of those things you kinda want to keep to yourself but it really was a beauty! Very private, quiet, beautiful sunrise, river access ( a little steep if you have trouble with mobility ), Athens is a 20-30 min drive, cell service is spotty (Verizon). I would definitely go back over, and over, and over again!

A slice of paradise!
This was my second visit and I enjoyed it as much as the first time..
The view is picturesque and getting down to the river was easy. The water was cool and refreshing. My pup Obie swam and hopped from rock to rock.
A flock of geese were resident on the river and loved watching them.
Both sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!
Such a beautiful property!

Hidden gem close to Athens

An absolutely stunning location: private, peaceful, and exceptionally well maintained. It's just a short hike to the Broad River, making it the perfect spot to relax, get in the water, and enjoy nature. The air-conditioned bunkhouse was an absolute lifesaver during the heatwave!

Best camping trip ever
Tent · With kids
Had an amazing stay at Broad River Retreat! The view is absolutely amazing, and Jean was incredibly responsive and accommodating throughout the trip. I was even allowed me to check in 2 hours early, which was greatly appreciated. Having a bathroom with hot water was such an amazing touch and made the stay even more comfortable. I would definitely return again soon and highly recommend staying here!

Family Camping
Tent · With pets
We did tent camp here with the kids and doggies. We used the shack to cool off when it got pretty hot or for a nap lol. Having the bathhouse is a huge perk!! The only thing I would add for knowledge is going down to the river is pretty steep downhill walk to be prepared to walk back up 😂. It was a great and beautiful weekend

Got stuck in Atlanta traffic on our way up so we were unable to set up our tent. It was so nice to have the bunkhouse with a forced air ac system when we got back from our event. We loved having a full bathroom and the views (and sounds) were incredible. We enjoyed our short time there immensely. Highly recommend. *Apple Maps had trouble with directions so maybe try a different navigation

Best Hip Camp ever!!!
Tent · With pets
Best hip camp I’ve ever stayed at! Great site situated overlooking the Broad river. I’d call this glamping with everything the have at the site for you! So easy and convenient with the fire pit and bathroom! Feels like you’re secluded in the mountains. Highly recommended! Will most definitely be back!

My wife and I desperately needed a day or two away to rest and recharge and the broad River Retreat fit the bill perfectly! Beautiful and very well maintained and a great place to take our old dogs as well. Jean was a fantastic host. We'll certainly be coming back.

Beautiful Camping Spot

We loved this place it was very peaceful and private. We enjoyed campfires with the beautiful river view. Just what we needed for a trip away from city life. The indoor room was a bonus when it rained. Would love to come back in the future.

Consistently well cared for for years, Broad River Retreat is always a solid choice with an unparalleled view. The road in is gravel, slightly hilly, but well tended and any passenger vehicle should have no trouble there. Jean is an attentive host but never intrudes on your privacy. You have the six acres all to yourself and don’t see neighbors while you are there. It’s our perfect definition of what enjoying the outdoors should be and has comforts to boot. And the broken glass doors at the shelter that another reviewer mentioned have been repaired, so if you use the shelter, you have perfect views out the many sets of glass doors.

This was a beautiful spot to camp, my family loved it. The tiny house/shed was perfect to add some comfort- it made camping with 2 young kids easier and more enjoyable(the heater came in handy at night). We'll definitely book again in the summer to fully enjoy the river!

Great Campsite
Tent · Group trip
Great campsite with an awesome view! We were able to setup two big tents with plenty of room for everyone. Right after we setup an unexpected hail storm struck and we were glad to have the shelter to ride it out in. The shelter has a mini fridge, A/C, and an electric fireplace. Power, water, and the hot shower were nice luxuries. The walk down to the river was very easy.

The views were gorgeous! Having the options of tent camping, RV camping, & the bunkhouse makes it perfect for a group with variable accommodations. The privacy vs a regular campground, made it even better! We definitely plan to return with a group next year.

Group of 6 Camping trip!
Tent · With pets
The bathroom + bunk room was great for making the camping experience easier. The tent areas were easily flat enough to sleep on comfortably, and the fire pit was very conducive to group conversations.
The river is about a 2 minute walk up and down a steep hill, but was a blast to play in!

The property was easy to find, and the site can be accessed with pretty much any vehicle even if it's a little hilly. The site is well maintained, and has an amazing view of the Broad River. Completely isolated, this is a great campsite for those that value privacy heavily. While we tent camped for most of our stay, the air conditioned shack was very welcome during the hottest times of the day. The site has amazing tree coverage, so with the exception of a 3-4 time frame, it is well shaded and cool. Highly recommend camping here.

Our family had an amazing time staying here! The A/C in the shed was a lifesaver. The views are breathtaking and the grounds are well maintained. The hike down to the water is steep, getting back up is a workout - but worth it!

Broad River Retreat camping w/dog
Tent · With pets
Nice and very private. You drive about 1/2 mile down a dirt/gravel road to get to the site. The area was clean and looks exactly like the pictures you see on Hipcamp. The shower, toilet and sink were nice to have. The AC worked well in the bunkhouse as did the small dorm size fridge. Two sides of the French doors were shattered when I arrived but didn’t bother me bc I never opened those doors.
The river is not really close to the site, it is probably 50-75 yards down a steep, overgrown hillside to get to the river. You can see where people have walked down but it’s not an actual trail. Especially in the summer with all of the foliage grown in. So just keep that in mind.
I would recommend for the privacy and cleanliness.

The view is phenomenal! It was easy to find and easy to access via a gravel drive. Just the right amount of amenities to make those rainy days bearable. AC in the building was a life saver and worked great! Very easy 15 minute drive to a Food Lion in Royston if you need any last minute finds.

Perfect Summer Camping
Tent · With kids
We just finished the best weekend! This was our first time camping as a family with a 7 year old and a 3 year old. The campsite is absolutely perfect. The location can’t be beat. Perched on the hill you have an amazing view of the river. We enjoyed watching turtles sunbathe and kayakers float on by. We made the trek down and climbed on rocks and waited in the water. The weather was in and out storming so we were able to hunker down in the shelter. It was cool and crisp from the air conditioning and in the morning you can watch the sunrise over the river! So nice to have private bathrooms, well appointed fire pit, charcoal grill, picnic table, and on top of all that to feel completely private! Great host and great space! Book now don’t keep looking!

Great for our group!
Tent · Group trip
We had a great experience at Broad River camp. The site was clean, spacious, and has amazing opportunities for birding!!! We had three tents and every one had ample space to feel secluded and still hear the river. The amenities were all very clean. View of the river is nice. Bring binoculars to do some wildlife watching. The only unfortunate occurrence was that every night we stayed starting around 11pm, a dog could be heard barking incessantly for hours. Obviously the host can’t do anything about this, so bring ear plugs or headphones if this would bother you. We would definitely book here again and appreciate the hosts creating such a beautiful space!

Camping with kids and dogs
20 ft pop-up camper · With pets
We loved staying on Jean’s property. We had a popup camper and a large tent. Our kids had an absolute blast just running around and exploring. We brought our two dogs who loved being able to be off leash and chill. It rained a good bit while we were there so it was nice to have the bunk building, too.

The view of Broad River blew my mind! So scenic, peaceful and very private.
Gorgeous sunrise views over the river.
Unit was perfect, loved the AC and power. Hot water shower was available which was great after a day of kayaking on the river.
My pup Obie San enjoyed the freedom...
This was the perfect weekend getaway for me. I can't wait to go back again!
