Open trails will get you to any part of the property by either walking, biking or vehicle.

All sites are larger than campground sites and are spaced out a good bit from each other for privacy. Feel free to let us know the details of your stay upon booking so we can reserve the site that will fit you best. Or if you have already picked out a site from the photos let us know which one you want. According to our campers: “there are tons of birds here” “the 5G is better here than our home” “Verizon service is perfect” “the trails are great for children and dogs” “the no leash policy is fantastic!!” “I feel safe here” So come on out and try us out.

Argo’s - during a windstorm!

24 ft travel trailer

We had a lovely night at Jimmy's place. We were the only ones there and there was a bad windstorm, so he let us stay under the big barn. We felt safe and dry! Thank you Jimmy! We will stop by again!

Great place for pets and kids!

Tent

Jimmy’s communication was excellent and directions were clear. Loved the HipCamp supply closet at the pole barn and he had our chairs waiting for us. We picked a more secluded site in the back of the property (deer field) . It was a great place to let the dogs run free and plenty of trees to hang hammocks. If you had kids, this would be a blast since it’s such a large area. Like, you could set up a volleyball net and have tons of fun w so much space. Enjoyed the little trails throughout the property. All the sites were neat and tidy and plenty of distance between them all. Didn’t have any light pollution. Got to see some beautiful stars and planets! A couple small things to note, remember you’re not 10 miles out into the woods. So you will hear some vehicle traffic, sirens, etc and on the other side of the “holler”, there are houses w barking dogs 😁. Not a big deal. I just turned on my “white noise” app on my phone.

I was here for a short night only, driving from Texas to Georgia. Host responded promptly to questions, was welcoming and friendly. I only wish I could have stayed longer, but I needed to get going with my drive.
