Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Escape to more than 18 private acres along the Tallapoosa River, reserved exclusively for your group. Choose your own campsite beneath the trees, fish, swim, kayak, and gather around a fire under the stars. This is a primitive, self-contained retreat with no toilet or potable water. Guests must bring a camp toilet and all needed water. An SUV or small truck with adequate ground clearance is strongly recommended; passenger cars are not recommended.The Tallapoosa Hideaway: Wilderness Retreat Leave the noise behind. Rediscover adventure. Hidden along a secluded stretch of the Tallapoosa River in West Georgia, The Tallapoosa Hideaway: Wilderness Retreat offers more than 18 private acres reserved exclusively for your group. No neighboring campers. No crowded campground. Just you, the river, and room to explore. The river borders the property on three sides, creating nearly 3,000 feet of river frontage surrounded by hardwood and pine forests, quiet creek banks, abundant wildlife, and hundreds of acres of neighboring timberland. There are no numbered campsites here. This is a primitive, choose-your-own-site experience where you can explore the property and select the setting that feels right for your group. Spend your days fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddling, exploring, or simply resting beside the river. When evening comes, gather around a campfire beneath the stars and enjoy the kind of quiet that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Bring your kayak or canoe and launch directly from the property. Paddle downstream to Dub Denman Canoe Trail Public Access #1 on Popular Springs Road—approximately a six-hour trip depending on river conditions—or launch upstream at Highway 27 for an approximately 2½-hour float back to camp. Please arrive prepared for primitive camping. No restroom or potable water is provided. Guests must bring a self-contained camp toilet and enough water for drinking, cooking, and washing. If you plan to bring a trailer, please contact us before booking so we can confirm that it is suitable for the property’s unpaved access. Our family has loved this special place for years, and we are grateful to share it with people who appreciate privacy, natural beauty, and meaningful time together. We work hard to provide a clean, peaceful retreat where guests can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation. Planning a family gathering, reunion, church outing, or special celebration? Send us a message, and we will be glad to discuss whether the property is the right fit. We look forward to welcoming you to The Tallapoosa Hideaway: Wilderness Retreat.

There are a couple great spots to set up a tent and great little stream to play in. We found some stones for a fire ring and good flat ground. Would do again 10/10!

This secluded river retreat is excellent for new or seasoned campers who want a private camping experience nestled in nature. Our site was excellent with easy access to the river the sounds of which put us to sleep at night. We had a little trouble with directions and We sent a note through the HipCamp app. Our phone service was spotty so the host drove out to ensure that we made it in okay. That was a classy move. We left the campsite better than we found it --which was tough to do because it was in clean and undisturbed condition when we arrived. Heck we even lost one of our party for a few hours only to find him asleep on a rock, under the old bridge, by the bank of the river. Tori is a champion host and this site was first class.

It was perfect for myself, son, and two dogs to walk around and explore. The dogs were off leash since it's one group at a time. I was relaxed knowing there would not be distractions for them being German Shepherds. The river was calm and in view and we look forward to another visit.

This spot was perfect for our tiny 12 foot RV! Very easy to get to and find. We camped in a spot that already had a fire ring and was right by the river. We've already booked to go back in a couple weeks with some friends. There's a pretty good size clearing that you could put at least 4 tents on, should be perfect! I love how the dogs can run around too and you don't have to watch them the whole time.

Tori’s land was such a great find! I we had 4 tents and a small camper and there was plenty of room for everyone! Our dogs loved the river! The site was easy to find with Tori’s helpful directions/instructions. We set up camp under the old bridge and felt secluded which we loved! Would definitely come back here.

The Tallapoosa Hideaway: Wilderness Retreat
Nice spot tucked well back into the woods. I definitely liked the "single family" rental, as there were not other campers around to worry about. There was zero "light pollution", no houses or street lights can be seen! There is a large flat clearing near the river that has ample space for tents, vehicles, even throwing a football or frisbee. The area was mostly hardwoods, thin underbrush with lots of ferns and moss. Be aware of deadfall/deadman, as there are a many around. The ground is a sandy soil so it drains/dries well. Camped during a rain event and it didnt get muddy around camp. The road out of the river bottom can be slick when wet, so make sure to have good 4x4 or go when dry. Tori was a pleasant and accommodating host, without being nosy or overbearing. Overall had a great experience.

Very cool primitive site. I camped under the bridge (mostly because there was a fire ring there already) and went fishing. Very shady all day....it's a "build a campsite where you want" kind of thing. Wish I could have stayed longer, so I'll be back soon to chase more bass.

Nice and quiet little area that's tucked away. If you want primitive this is a good area. You really need a truck to navigate the terrain. Do yourself a favor and bring some tick repellent to be safe. The old bridge was really cool and interesting!
