Heirloom Hamlet

5 sites · RVs5 acres · Ridgeland, SC

Why buy a home when you can build a fairytale? Hi, I'm Curt. My wife Ani, son Fitch, and I are your average, everyday nonconformists who have been running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own hands and some grit to handcraft a life that you don't need a vacation from. Or better yet, that you would vacation to. Have we done that? You be the judge. About 4 years ago we left our South Florida handcrafting furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between some of the old fashioned world that we'd found ourselves missing, and the handful of modern advancements that were actually beneficial. All while keeping it classy. At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us designing unique, functional cabins, installing solar, composting, planting, and building toilets that are better for our environment. We're bread baking, pasta making, timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. The goal is to evolve into a small world of self-reliance and harmony with nature. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever reasonable. So, we are incorporating both alternative and municipal utilities as they can fit into our homestead design and limited budget. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" small living can feel. We all have personal priorities and those will vary greatly, and that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being respectfully mindful to the earth and to our fellowman. After all, if we don't have that, what do we have? To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also would like it if we inspired onlookers to possibly look at their own space and life a little bit differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to distinguish real desires and needs from the ones we've been groomed to pursue, and then work to make them a reality. We've found it energizing to witness our fellowmen and women pursuing a dream. We'd like to be a stimulating memory along any person's journey. Visiting with us, we sure hope our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to life here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. That, as our paths cross, we won't be held to a business-first standard that we have worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realize everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a refreshing hideaway from the norm.

The best camping near Skidaway Island State Park guide

Overview

About

An easy, 25-minute drive from historic Savannah, Skidaway Island State Park borders Skidaway Narrows, a part of Georgia’s Intracoastal Waterway. Follow hiking trails that lead through maritime forest and past salt marsh to a boardwalk and observation tower, where you can look out for wildlife such as deer, fiddler crabs, raccoon, egrets, and rare migrating birds. A nature center is another top draw, home to a giant ground sloth replica, birding station, nature exhibits, and a reptile room. The scenic Skidaway Island State Park Campground is nestled under live oaks and Spanish moss. Some RV sites have hookups, and a selection of camper cabins are available for rent.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Booking in advance is recommended and can be easily done online or by phone, up to 13 months in advance.
A limited number of sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Call ahead of time if you’ll be arriving after hours. You should be able to check in over the phone and avoid losing your spot.

When to go

Skidaway Island State Park is great to visit any time of year, but spring and summer are best for watersport opportunities, such as kayaking and paddleboarding. While summers in Savannah can get warm, Skidaway Island tends to be more pleasant thanks to its cooling ocean breezes. As with most state parks, the summer months are busiest, especially on weekends, so it’s a good idea to make reservations in advance.

Pets are welcome, but must be on a leash no longer than six feet. Pets are not allowed in buildings or swimming areas.
