Come camp on one of the Southeast's most unique properties, Beakertopia! Our 2.4 acre artist compound is enclosed in bamboo and lush with hundred-year-old live oaks + native pollinator flowers we’ve planted. Choose any spot to pitch your tent and enjoy our magic oasis only 20 min from the beautiful white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores. You're welcome to use the "outdoor living room" as you please. This area includes a bar with rainwater catchment for washing hands/dishes, refrigerator, freezer, electric tea kettle, microwave, solar oven, complimentary coffee/tea station, 2 burner biogas stovetop with cooking equipment&utensils, games, aerial yoga silks, climbing wall, slackline, Iyengar yoga rope wall, trash/recycling, filtered alkaline drinking water and more! Feel free to use our laundry facilities, communal picnic basket, and complimentary condiments, seasonings, sauces, etc found in the door of the fridge. Attached to the lounge is our air conditioned ecobathroom with *hot* shower, bio toilet, and complimentary toiletries if you forget anything. 2025 Update~ You may read about mosquitoes in some of our past reviews, but I am happy to share that we now have a monthly mosquito service in place that has mitigated that issue! Learn more about this land: Our intention for this artist community is to bring like-minded people together and make the world a more beautiful place. It serves as our primary residence and also residence for seasonal workers&traveling artists when they come here. Every year we have the opportunity to employ about a dozen people to work with us during the tourist season, from March-October. Aside from our local employees, we also wanted to create a space that would allow for fellow travelers to join our crew. Beakertopia provides the possibility for friends from around the world to come live and work. Check out our website for more info ✨️

Beautiful, quiet stay
Our stay here was magical- Bon Secour is a pocket of untouched nature inside the booming growth of the coast, yet accessible to beaches and parks. Our dome stay gave us connection to the outdoors but some comforts of glamping. The property is full of Oaks and surrounded by woods. They have created a fun, oasis with unique stays! Highly recommend.

My husband and I needed a short getaway and Emma & Jason's place fit the bill! We both loved the live oaks on the property and the unique structures built by these two artists. Jason even helped when we needed an adapter for our power cord. My husband and I spent time chilling in the communal lounge, which offered comfortable seating, music, and cooking/dish washing amenities. The restroom and shower were well appointed and very comfortable. We would happily stay at Beakertopia again!

Beakertopia was the perfect place to relax and reset on our way to NOLA. She was very responsive and provided detailed instructions of where to park and access/use amenities. The shower was hot with great water pressure. The oaks were majestic. A hidden gem amongst the touristy RV parks.

Rainbows and Oaks
Emma has created such a fun and unique campground amidst beautiful old oaks. I appreciate how well she cares for the trees to keep them healthy and growing strong! The atmosphere is friendly and there's a covered outdoor hangout area for guests with loads of quirky amenities. Clean bathroom and hot shower. Lovely unexpected gem in Alabama!

Great 3 day escape!
We loved camping here! Very private,quiet and the trees are beautiful!! There's a private bathroom with a shower ( when we were there the hot water in the shower didn't work it was very cold!) There's fresh water. There's a cool place to hang out play games have a drinks, even skateboard. We have 3 dogs there was plenty of room for them to run. I would definitely recommend!
