No cicadas! Halfway between Atlanta and Chattanooga and only 5 miles off I75 sits this quiet oasis in the country! Perfect for travelers or workers in the area! Camp by the creek and let your worries fade away. This peaceful, quiet site offers primitive camping on the banks of the creek, and you are welcome to get your feet wet. The sites are large with flat fields, and plenty of natural privacy as well as some shaded areas. Perfect for self contained campers or tents. There is no power or water available on site! Walnut Creek is a DOUBLE SIZED site, perfect for 2 groups, or one large group or those who don't want anyone nearby. You pay once, both sites are included. Best creek access is here. Looking for a single site? Check out Cedar Creek or Creekside. Cedar Creek is a beautiful site, perfect for any type of camping. RV, tent, car campers, what have you. Creekside is only for tents or small campers and is our most private site.

Surewood ForRest

5 sites · RVs, Tents64 acres · Griffin, GA
We own a small farm on 64 total acres with around 59 wooded. We have 4 primitive camping sites with lots of woods, wildlife, and two small creeks. We are even located on a short dirt road to give you that country feel. On our farm are free range chickens, goats and a donkey in a pasture, turkeys (wild and domesticated), honeybees (in the field), and a few outdoor cats. We enjoy our animals and nature. We want to share this experience with others so we have decided to rent camping spots that we have shared over the years with our children. Enjoy the peaceful nights and the sounds of nature and star lit skies. In the daytime check out our farm animals, walk trails, or explore the woods. We are conveniently located less than two miles from a Dollar General, 8 miles to nearest Walmart, under 30 minutes to Indian Springs State Park, under 20 minutes to High Falls State Park, and under 25 minutes to Dauset Trails Nature Center. All of this located close to our property while being only 3 miles from the I75 on ramp at exit 205.
