Not a day passes by without a gesture of southern hospitality and charm bestowed upon visitors by our local residents.
Enjoy camping in quiet, shady pull-through sites nestled in a peaceful country setting. Big-Rig pull-through sites are available without interfering trees, making satellite service very accessible. For those who prefer camping under the trees, many shady 30 AMP pull-through sites are available along with a multitude of water and electric sites for small to medium RV’s and tents.
We are only 2 miles from the interstate yet we enjoy both the freedom from traffic noise and the chorus of owls, mocking birds and other southern birds and migrating northern feathered friends. The lonely but distinct cry of the midnight train is always hauntingly present. Not a day passes by without a gesture of southern hospitality and charm bestowed upon visitors by our local residents.
