1 night at Solomon's Garden

It was my pleasure to be here, thank you for the invite, the experience was awesome. Chieftess Sundance & I was talking about doing this very thing on our land, now you & your family has given me a true vision of this possibility becoming a reality. I loved everything, the women sharing there personal life freely, foraging in real time with an expert guide who gave boundless information & making it fun & easy! Sleeping in a tent is wonderful. The food was expertly demonstrated and the taste was on point. I can't say enough & I would do it again. To say the least the price was just right💯

1 night at Solomon's Garden

Nice flat area for tents or vehicles. No picnic tables or fire rings, but I pulled out my camp table and it was fine. Very, very quiet. Unique bamboo building with a nice shower.

We are currently *under construction*. Our forest was damaged by the draught and so there are changes underway. Please excuse our appearance as we shift toward becoming a food forest. Solomon's Garden is a 5 acre homestead located in the Black Warrior River valley. Our site is currently under land work construction, as we are recovering from the pine beetle disaster that has ravaged Alabama. Our beautiful pine trees are no more and we are in the process of rebuilding the campground, planting a food forest and adding an additional shower/toilet facility. We currently have a semi-private camping area in our small orchard that is flat and grassy that we recommend for tent campers on any day. We also have a larger, more remote camp area available on dry days. We expect land work to be complete in June and are eagerly awaiting the grass, wildflowers and native herbs to return following all this spring rain.

Overview

About

As one of four parks facing possible closure, the fate of Chickasaw State Park is currently hanging in the balance. Nothing is set in stone yet, so be sure to check on the park's website for the most up to date information. This area's virtue lies in its ample wildlife watching and peaceful wading pool. Grab your binoculars and keep an eye out for Bobwhite quails and wild turkeys. Whether you're looking to roast up some BBQ in the pit, or just chill under the shade of some trees, Chickasaw State Park knows how to do relaxation right. With Alabama's Rural Heritage Center nearby as well as the Black Belt Nature & Heritage Trail, we have a feeling a couple pit stops will be in order.
