Located on the beautiful Broad River, summer offers views of kayakers and tubers floating down the river, close enough to see, but far enough away to feel alone. Eagle spottings and colorful landscapes make this retreat a camper's heaven. Learn more about this land: 20 minutes from downtown Athens. A quarter mile down a winding dirt drive will open up to a beautiful scene of river and nature. Quiet solitude and you are at one with this piece of heaven. Keep your eyes open for the bald eagle. If you are agile enough, climb down the terrain to the river for an early morning bath or fish for lunch. This site is a singular rental. You will have it to yourself. You may choose to camp with friends in which there is space for an Rv and a pull behind or two small rvs. It can also be used to tent camp. There is a small shed with a full bunk on bottom and a twin on top. A table with two chairs and electric fireplace. There is in addition, a small A/C unit in the shed. It is a small space with nothing but outlets and a small refrigerator. You will need to bring all of your essentials. Pillows/Sheets/Linens/towels are not provided. The bath house is steps away. You will need towels/rags/soap/toilet paper and all essentials. It is merely a toilet, sink, and shower. There is a Weber charcoal grill available on site. Bring your essentials. You will need to bring your own firewood.. The driveway to the site is marked with the 1793 address sign on Davids Home Church rd. If you are driving N/NW on David's Home Church Rd, it is exactly 2 miles on the right from where you turned onto the road. If you are traveling E/SE on David's Home Church Rd, it is exactly 1.7 miles on the left from where you turned onto David's Home Church Rd. The gate will be closed, please close the gate back when you leave. Please take advantage of the Broad River outpost to rent kayaks/canoes/tubes. Also The Sandbar is located minutes away and they also provide rentals as well as zip lining. Royston has a grocery store and fast food.20 minutes from downtown Athens.

Broad River Retreat
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!

Broad River Retreat
Jean’s place was probably the best camp site I’ve ever had. You really can’t beat a bunk house and personal bathroom when you have kids. Kids loved exploring the nearby wilderness and playing in the river. Jean was responsive and extra accommodating. We hope to visit again real soon.

Broad River Retreat
This place was fantastic! Hot showers, and cool indoor spaces for the hottest hours of the day. We had a great time just sitting around and looking down at the river. The dogs had a great time too! I would definitely recommend this spot. Whether you want to rough it in a tent, or just sleep in the bunk-room, this place has you covered.

We loved it! Came all the way from South Florida to escape the city and we have no regrets. This site exceeded our expectations and we are already planning our next trip here.

Great for campers with dogs
Great place to camp with a great view. We brought our dogs and they loved roaming around all weekend off-leash. The heated bathroom was a luxury we usually don’t have. We made a day trip over to Watson Mill State Park and enjoyed that as well.
