Good exp. all things considered.

(Dispersed site)
So first of all it was extremely wet due to soo much rain for the last two weeks so any hint of a negative can be squarely placed on that. I would still reccomend this property if you're looking for a good camping experience that's still close to civilization.
The host Barry sent me a text giving me a heads up that ground was soft and wet. I arrived at the business location per his directions and advised an employee what Barry had stated and where he suggested I set up. The employee was very helpful and gave me directions of where to go and I found the site very easily.
The site was fairly private considering the bush line was starting to fill in as temperatures begin to warm. There were three houses in view from my campsite but if the ground wasn't so soft I would have been able to set up further down the hill and out of site from the houses. A drone was flying over head briefly and I could see the pilot from my campsite but I figured that was possibly just a curious neighbor or perhaps even the host taking some pictures of my motorcycle camping setup?
The host was kind enough to set up several large brush piles so when it dries out in a few weeks I'm sure someone will have one heck of a bonfire back there.
The property was really pretty and have lots of wildlife yet close enough to town to enjoy doing different things and having easy access to restaurants and stores.
That being said if there is a lot of rain prior to your trip do not attempt to go down the hill near the cemetery and if you do....do not stop! I was trying to get my bearings on the property and actually got stuck at the bottom of the hill! However being of strong constitution I unloaded my motorcycle and carried all my stuff up the hill, tipped my motorcycle over and literally dragged it by hand over about 10 feet to slightly higher and drier ground where traction would be easier to get. I dropped my tire pressure to get more traction and made my way out without needing to call a tow truck but not without leaving my mark.
Barry, I am sorry for the line of mud I kicked up getting up the hill, but I weighed my options and figured getting out of there on my own would have been better and less damaging than having a extremely large tow truck come back and make things even worse. I have ordered a rope and pulley system to carry with me all the time that designed to get motorcycles out of these bad situations without leaving a mark as a result of this experience.
Past trips
Bear RV Spot #5
in Stone Mill, GeorgiaNice spot, will return.
Great piece of property with some beautiful features and buildings.
I didn't get to meet the host but there was what appeared to be dry wood in the campfire ring. It was too cold for me to sit out even with a fire so I layered up and got in the sleeping bag and enjoyed reading with the excellent background music of flowing water of the creek nearby.
My only gripe is that the creek site where I stayed is a stones throw from the "overlook" site (the name is literally making a mountain out of a mole hill), could be a little cramped depending on how much you like your privacy but I would bet it is probably more private in spring when leaves return.
I will definitely come back again when it's warmer with longer days when I have time to look around. This was mostly just a personal challenge to camp solo below freezing temps and check out my new camping gear.
The Meadow Campsite
in Hidden Hills Farm & Saddle Club, TennesseeExcellent with onsite recreation.
This is a great site with nice rolling hills and great views especially considering it's proximity to civilization. My wife and I had a great time. It was really nice that some firewood is supplied and extra available for purchase if requested.
