Stories from the community

The red rock road entrance. Follow it around to the barn.

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Beautiful little getaway. I was nervous when the rain started but once I arrive and parked under the barn I was thrilled. Quiet and relaxing. My daughter and dog ran around for hours.

Weekend Trip to Bates Farm

We chose the furthest campsite and this land has everything from out in the open sites, to deep woods sites accessible only on foot. Mary & Wayne made sure we found Jessie's by leading us in their four-wheeler. Vast and beautiful landscape and all of it secluded. Plenty of wood to buy from your gracious hosts at great prices - and delivery, too! Mary showed us her love for flowers and they were blooming! Mary also made sure we got out safely since their Archery range was in full action - no accidents will happen here! The other half of this duo, Wayne, set us up with all that any camper would need and we felt safe and completely at peace. and that's why you come here, for the peace!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

This location provided a truly enjoyable experience. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the campsites were much appreciated. A friendly host added to the welcoming atmosphere. We had a wonderful time and created lasting memories. This destination is highly recommended for a pleasant getaway.

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Jimmy was a great communicator and this space had everything we needed.

Weekend Trip to Fort Bluff Camp Site

Incredible spot! Lots of room for multiple tents if needed. Private with amazing views of the surrounding area. Highly recommend! We went after some heavy rains and 4x4 was most certainly required.

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

We loved every thing about the stay! So peaceful and really convenient to get to.

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Great directions, beautiful space, and we loved the swing in the barn. Thank you for sharing your space with us. We loved the peace and quiet. Definitely would return.

1 night at Argo’s Park & Trails

Staying at Argo’s was blissful, but brief- we were traveling through the area and were only able to stay for one night. Jimmy, the host, reached out ahead of our arrival, making sure that we had the proper address and that we knew what supplies we could access from the property as Hipcampers- all such useful information. We stayed at site 3 with a view of the pond, but pretty much had the property to ourselves, as we walked our dogs around the trails and dirt access roads to the other camping sites, which were unoccupied. As mentioned in other reviews Jimmy’s laid out the sites very well to offer privacy and convenience to each. We love our stay at Argo’s and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to camp!!!

Weekend Trip to Bug Tussle Creek Bend

Matthew’s spot is awesome! Very private with plenty of room. The creek is amazing and the sound of the rolling water is great for sleeping. Matthew is a great host and we’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Bates Farm

Mary took us on a tour of the land and it was truly impressive. We are looking forward to camping here. We are allowed to find anywhere on the 45 acres to put down and set up. They will bring us a picnic table and fire pit and sell us wood since we are on motorcycles. Bath house is on-site!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Jimmy was a great host! We had a peaceful night and he was exceptionally welcoming and helpful!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Great sites! Eapecially the “barn” site - it is a really tall roof with flat gravel underneath- a “pole barn”- it has a swing and nice cushioned patio chairs to sit and enjoy the view. It was raining when we were there and we were able to get out of our campervan and still enjoy the outdoors. Also absolutely too notch communication! 10/10! Will be returning!

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Jimmy is a great host. Met us at the gate and made sure we knew how to get to our site and offered us other things like chairs and stuff if we didn’t have any at no charge. The site we stayed at (Deer Feeder) was beautiful and very spacious. Beautiful woods and a quiet serene spot.

Weekend Trip to Argo’s Park & Trails

Beautiful place with easy proximity to the freeway!

Our group of 9 had a great time camping at primitive site #2. Andrea was a helpful and generous host!

4 nights at Sipsey Creek Farm

We have loved how Andrea has set up the Farm! This was our third stay, and we always have a good time. There are lots of animals that are good around kids, and the lodgings are solid. We will be staying there again.

Breath of Life Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Ashville, AL

The Dry Bones Live (Ezekiel 37). The first visit in 2019 to this 21 acres was both a shock and a confirmation. It had everything on our check list and more - nearly flat land, convenient location, but also twice the acreage, a roadbed, diversity, Monarch butterflies everywhere, access to a big lake.....and it was littered with logs!! They were in piles and scattered everywhere. But this particular land was being placed in my hands to steward and to reveal the creativity and loving nature of Yahweh. And that meant not bulldozing or burning the logs. Instead, the task was to breathe life into the logs and the land through gentle stewardship to protect the biodiversity and build good soil. Breath of Life Farm is being regeneratively developed to cultivate elderberries, vineyards, peaches, mushrooms, and small plantations of trees for wood or nuts. My sister, Pam, and I hope that visitors will come to enjoy the seasonal changes of flower colors, watch for foot and hoof prints of wildlife, enjoy the songs of the birds and the frogs, see how many different native mushroom species they can spot, and be marveled by the stars as they sparkle in the dark night sky. Our wish is that through the years, folks return to see the changes and positive impact of regenerative farming practices. To be a witness to the life breathed into this land. We hope you will be inspired, uplifted, strengthened, and energized by the story of Breath of Life Farm. Peace and blessings, SandraLearn more about this land:Drive up to very private site. Beautiful sunsets and night sky. Wildlife, diverse plants, birdwatching. Learn about regenerative farming. Fish/kayak/canoe at lake or creek. Horse Pens 40/Ashville/Springville minutes away (good restaurants). 1 hour to Mentone, Little River Canyon, Lake Guntersville. Video security at entrance.
