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!

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 level of preparation, cleanliness and organization was absolutely spectacular. I have never been camping at a site this clean and organized. The grill was immaculate; the toilet facilities were clean with spray and hand wipes; there was enough firewood to last a month.
If you like privacy, you will get it here. I heard nothing and saw nothing other than the birds in the wind, blowing the trees!.
The actual area where you will pitch, the tent is very large and open with plenty of shade.
I highly recommend this place to anybody who wants a quality, private experience in nature. Can’t wait to go back!

The directions were 👍 as far as to which driveway was for us. It was serene, and peacefully quiet. All neighbors were quiet. At first I was a little disappointed because there were no walking trails in these fragranced woods! But it really was enough just to walk my dogs around their huge, hilly blocks.
I would love to go back and explore the nature trails at the Lake. Google maps says that there is 3 different levels to choose from. ENJOY!

The campsite when we got there was perfectly maintained. It was a very nice with plenty of privacy. At the same time you have people close enough in case of an emergency. The host is extremely responsive to messages and calls. The father and son that run the camp site are also very kind and helpful. I think with the outhouse this is like a perfect beginner friendly primitive camp site. Perfect place to start if you have younger children if you want to ease them into camping. Their is even a little trail that is perfect to walk with your family or just a small romantic walk in the woods with your partner.

Overview
About
The Tuskegee Institute showcased what people can do with an education. Booker T. Washington was the first head of the school during its founding in 1881. His ideals of hard work paved the way for former slaves to make a living.
The site of the institute served as a teaching school for African Americans. A lack of funds from the state of Alabama meant the students didn't have classrooms. The first classes met in a local church. That didn't deter the students. They took matters into their own hands and made bricks.
Eventually, those bricks turned into an administrative building with classrooms. Then the school expanded to include 2,300 acres and many more buildings. Bricks made and laid by Washington and his students still stand today.
This historic site preserves 20 buildings on the campus of Tuskegee University. The two main buildings are the George Washington Carver Museum and The Oaks. The museum has exhibits and artifacts from Carver's life. The Oaks served as Washington's home. It's a beautifully restored Victorian-era residence. Ranger-led tours of the house guide you through Washington's time at Tuskegee and bring the 1880s to life.
The Tuskegee Institute started out by teaching people how to teach others. It quickly expanded its curriculum to teach the industrial arts and science. George Washington Carver came to teach science at the institute in 1896. Carver's presence as a respected scientist catapulted Tuskegee to a prestigious school for higher learning.
