FoxPen

20. FoxPen

36mi from Fort Frederica National Monument · 14 sites · Tents, Lodging

Tucked away on 140 acres of quiet woods and open skies, FoxPen is a place built on dreams, hard work, and a love for the land. For over 24 years, Doyle Watson—along with his wife Lee, two daughters, local friends from Hortense, and a whole lot of heart—has shaped this hidden haven into a space where people can slow down, unplug, and reconnect with what matters most. What began as a single tiny cabin in 1999 has grown into five hand-built cabins, each crafted from local and reclaimed materials and brimming with rustic character. One cabin, the Briar Patch, was once an old tobacco barn and still holds its original door as a proud piece of history. Every cabin, every trail, and every campfire circle has a story—and if you’re lucky, you might hear a few from Doyle himself as you walk the land, sit beneath the stars, or join him on a Tractor Trailer Ride. Before becoming the peaceful retreat center it is today, FoxPen was once a fox-hunting preserve—hence the name. When the Watson family purchased the property, they kept the name but relocated the foxes, allowing the land’s natural wildlife to thrive. At FoxPen, life moves slower. Nature leads the way. And there’s not much to do but play, relax, and savor the simple, timeless things that never go out of style. Managing the rentals is the youngest daughter, Evan—that’s me! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

This was our first Hipcamp experience and the bar has been set pretty high. The location is so beautiful between the water, the huge oaks and the wildlife. It is a nature-lover, fishermen or birdwatchers paradise. It was great that our dogs could safely roam. Surprisingly quiet on and off water and friendly neighbors. Great place to kayak (2 kayaks and canoe also provided) Grocery store / gas station about 15-20 mins away if needed for forgotten necessities, drinking water etc. We had a little trouble backing out our 21 foot trailer when leaving but are also new to hauling a trailer. Would definitely return!

This was our first Hipcamp stay of the trip and it was a great experience. The site was clean and we felt very safe and comfortable there. We arrived after dark, so we really appreciated the little solar lights that helped us get situated. We happened to be the only ones staying there that night, so it felt very private. Because of that, we couldn’t really tell how close the other campsites are when they’re occupied. We stayed in Site 1, which was just a stone’s throw from the porta-potty. We didn’t end up using it, but it was nice knowing it was there. We entered the GPS coordinates we were sent directly into our map and had no trouble finding the property, even at night. It was a very easy and comfortable first stop on our trip.

Fort Frederica National Monument camping guide

Overview

About

Imagine if one of the original 13 colonies came under Spanish control back in the 1700s. This easily could have happened if it weren't for Fort Frederica in southern Georgia. Discover the ruins of the fort among the marshes and tall grass on St. Simons Island, in between Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida.

The small masonry fort served as a base for British troops protecting Georgia's southern border. Florida still belonged the Spaniards at the time. Georgia's governor, James Oglethorpe, built to the fort to protect his colony's interests.

Peeking out from behind the tall grass are some cannon placements and the remnants of the grey stone walls of the fort. The surrounding countryside is basically flat. This made it easy to spot any invading forces. Anyone who attacked the fort didn't have a chance.

Imagine hearing the boom of the cannons as they fired at any incoming rowboats. Rangers, some dressed in period costume, help interpret the site for visitors throughout the year. Fall and winter are good times to visit because it isn't so hot.

British troops stationed at the fort were called into action in 1742 when the Spanish tried to take St. Simons Island. British forces held them back. After the battle, the Spanish never bothered Georgia again, and the 500 people living in the town left and never came back. Why should they? The Spanish chickened out and didn't care. Savannah was a much nicer place to live, anyway.

The Redcoats kept Georgia for England, and it helped preserve the original 13 colonies. Too bad England lost all of them, including Georgia, during the American Revolution.
