Come pitch a tent or hang your hammock between the beautiful hardwoods.
We currently have primitive tent camping that can easily fit 4-5 tents or hammock camping.
Both options sit alongside Sofkahatchee creek. We have 15 acres of untouched forest to wonder through and help you reconnect with mother nature. It’s my favorite spot for meditation and grounding.
The sky is amazingly dark around here and stargazing would be at the top of my list of things I love about the property.
This area is full of wildlife. Raccoons, deer, turkey, possums, armadillo, snakes, and even bears. I haven’t personally ran in to any bears but they have been sited.
So, who knows what you will befriend while in the wild.
The camping areas are very private. It’s part of a 50 acre lot that has recently been cleared and in the process of reseeding and preparing for a pond and farm life. So, sorry if you run in to anything that isn’t picturesque but your camp site will be beautiful and peaceful.
AMENITIES: We want your stay to be as comfortable as possible! For an additional cost, we offer amenities such as tents, towels, bug deterrent, firewood, fire starters, hand warmers, s’mores kits, camping toilet, gold panning kit, games and more. If you have specific needs or requests, don’t hesitate to reach out before your arrival—we’re here to help make your experience unforgettable!

Small garden beds and a fruit orchard are on the property and I usually have at least a half dozen projects of one sort or another going on.
Several acres are wooded and there is ample space for a nature trail that I try to keep maintained. Several of the usual types wildlife can be seen.
Are you an artist or a writer? This is a great place for comtemplation and inspiration. I myself have 40 years experience as an art teacher and professor. If you would like to have a mini workshop, let me help.

Thanks!
Location:

8 minutes from "Union" Public boat ramp on Lake Martin.
39 minutes from Jordan Hare Stadium.
Description:
The property is 75 feet wide and stretches 210 feet back from the road. Shaded with trees, flat, plenty of room for pitching a tent. The driveway clearing large enough for a car plus camper or RV. I don't have dimensions, but use the pictures of my Jeep for reference. For now, you must decide if your rig will fit. The driveway ground is hard, but there isn't any gravel on the drive yet, so be mindful of parking during rain or soggy conditions.
There is a fire ring and a few chairs to enjoy socializing or plenty of trees to hang a hammock and relax. Basically a quiet place to relax, in an undeveloped neighborhood, and pretend you are in a backcountry tent site, 6 minutes from Dollar General :) War Eagle!

Convenient stop for the night or a few days for RV’s or Tent campers and a good place to get a hot shower - only a easy mile a half from I-20 exit 173 ( Eastaboga - Talladega Superspeedway Exit ) also a good base camp to see Cheaha State Park - bike at Coldwater Mountain- see the Talladega Superspeedway , Combat Park Flea Market , Oxford ballgames or other area Activities - I reserve one RV site and two tent sites for hipcamp and rent the other five RV sites at the top of hill on a monthly basis - these hipcamp sites are wooded, shady with woods between the other sites to give some privacy while still not far from the unique showers made from the old chicken house feed bins -these showers are very functional and I have been complimented that they are the best showers on the east coast

The property features a 1 1/2 acre pond stocked with catfish and bream and has a nice little dock with a table and chairs to sit and enjoy the water.
There are animals! I have a beloved Scottish Highland cow named Genia and she is joined with two mini bulls and two mini cows. Various numbers of Nigerian Dwarf goats join them in the pasture. There are also a few chickens.
Small garden beds and a fruit orchard are on the property and I usually have at least a half dozen projects of one sort or another going on.
Several acres are wooded and there is ample space for a nature trail that I try to keep maintained. Several of the usual types wildlife can be seen.
Are you an artist or a writer? This is a great place for comtemplation and inspiration. I myself have 40 years experience as an art teacher and professor. If you would like to have a mini workshop, let me help.
Water is available not far from the campsites. There is also a portable pop up potty/shower tent (with bucket and seat) available.

Tent camp or RV park on my future house site near Auburn and lake Martin.
Condition:
Undeveloped, no water, no sewage disposal, no electricity.
Leave no trace, pack it in, pack it out.
Thanks!
Location:
6 minutes from Dollar General
8 minutes from "Union" Public boat ramp on Lake Martin.
39 minutes from Jordan Hare Stadium.
Description:
The property is 75 feet wide and stretches 210 feet back from the road. Shaded with trees, flat, plenty of room for pitching a tent. The driveway clearing large enough for a car plus camper or RV. I don't have dimensions, but use the pictures of my Jeep for reference. For now, you must decide if your rig will fit. The driveway ground is hard, but there isn't any gravel on the drive yet, so be mindful of parking during rain or soggy conditions.
There is a fire ring and a few chairs to enjoy socializing or plenty of trees to hang a hammock and relax. Basically a quiet place to relax, in an undeveloped neighborhood, and pretend you are in a backcountry tent site, 6 minutes from Dollar General :) War Eagle!

The host Caleb and his Dad, Eddy were exceptional. They were caring and kind, helping us setup the electric and water at our site with full hookup. The locked gated entry gave us a good sense of security, coming and going as we pleased. The tall hardwood and pine trees gave a wonderful canopy over the very organized, clean camp grounds. The pond was easily accessible, with clear water and some fish. Myself and my dog enjoyed the hiking trails. , including the tranquility of the area. The camp road and sites have gravel for easy navigation and setup. Note: right now, not all sites have full hookup.

1 night at Bohamia - Glamp/RV/Camp
This was my third time staying there. And the reason I went back is because I wanted to stay again. I traveled to Knoxville and it’s a great place to stop in my in-between travels. The house are incredible not to mention the 200+ acres of land have trails and a pond. Plenty to see and walk around. I can’t wait to spend another night there again. I stayed in an A-frame, which has electricity, AC and heat. I mostly sit on the porch and light a fire and listen to the quiet.
The bathrooms are nearby and are clean with showers and a sink to do your dishes. Whatever you think you are missing, they have I’m a huge fan and will be back again and again.

Stayed in Tent site 2. Was right on top of the outdoor kitchen which was great. Site was nice. We brought our own firepit. Amazing star watching. Saw tons of satellites and a couple shooting stars. Only complaint is that my wife and daughter hated the restroom. So if you’re not feeling adventurous you may want to bring a camp toilet. For the price I didn’t care. I will definitely go back. Great communication from the host. Beautiful area.

Shout out again to Dusty for creating a great, safe, and welcoming spot for like-minded people. My wife and I came during the equinox event and thoroughly enjoyed it. Special thanks to "G" for leading a very awesome chill nature walk that taught us all about the plant life we take for granted in our area. But what makes it so much more special are the community aspects that help us put down our phones and be present for the moment. Getting to meet and interact with everyone really grounds me to recharge. Parksland helps and so much more.
I finally got to experience the side over by P4-P6. Staying at P5 is nice and secluded but still close to the public area. I highly recommend it if you dont have a lot of stuff and just need the essentials. 10/10 trip all around and I can't wait to come back.

I had such a great time celebrating the Spring Equinox at Parksland Retreat! I've been multiple times, but this was my first time using the platform to camp. It was so nice camping between the main area with the showers/sauna and the swimming hole. Since it was the Spring Equinox, we had a potluck with some incredible food followed by a bonfire Friday night. Saturday there was an educational plant hike and then a sauna session after dark. I definitely recommend it!

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park camping guide
Overview
About
Yoda said, "Wars make not one great." Yet that's what happened to Maj. Gen. Andrew Jackson at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in Alabama. His 3,300 men attacked 1,000 members of the Red Stick Creek tribe, led by Chief Menawa. The battle ended the Creek Wars and made Jackson a national hero.
Unfortunately, 800 Red Stick warriors died during the battle. It was March 27, 1814. Jackson, also a hero of the War of 1812, would go on to be president. (He's the guy on the $20 bill.) The end of the Creek Wars meant 23 million acres became United States territory.
The battlefield itself features an open field surrounded by trees. The name comes from a horseshoe-like bend in the Tallapoosa River.
A visitor center tells you everything you need to know about the battle. You find out what led to the Creek Wars and some history of the Creek tribe. There's also a section on the War of 1812.
The battlefield holds special events twice a year. In March there's a living history event that depicts both sides of the conflict. This occurs in conjunction with the anniversary of the battle. You can tour authentic Creek, Cherokee, and U.S. military camps from the time period. Five months later in August there are living history demonstrations and guest speakers.
A 2.8-mile nature trail takes you through wooded areas and by the river. During the summer months, this jaunt offers shade from the hot summer sun. A 3-mile paved road lets you enjoy the scenery from your car.
Nearby campsites let you experience a bit of what Jackson's men and the Creek warriors went through.
