Heart of the Country is our home and also your own personal twelve acre state park whenever you stay with us! We are less than 15 minutes from Interstate 10 and from Interstate 65. I offer a half-dozen campsites, all either on a relatively level paved driveway or grass. Power (20 amp and 30 amp) and water is available. We have two 30 amp campsites, which are first come, first served. WIFI is available! (please ask for password). We have a portable toilet for your use. This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails. This is also a hobby farm with livestock (Donkey, two Goats, a Duck and a flock of Chickens). I feed the livestock grain every morning usually between 8 and 9 am, and again hay before dusk. You are always welcome to join me and I'll introduce all of them to you! My dog, Homer, is our very friendly welcoming ambassador who will enthusiastically great you upon your arrival. I put him up in his kennel each evening around dusk, then lock him in his shed until morning which keeps him from backing during the night. We also host an AirBnB, so other guests may be here as well. Texting via the app is our preferred mode of communication. If you call, please leave a message if I can't answer, and I will call you back. We are slowly updating the site photos. Use them only to determine your price, for example: A site with 30 amp power and water is $25 per night. A site with 20 amp power and water is $20 per night. A boondocking site (no power) is $15 per night. All sites have access to a porta-potty and water. Suggested local attraction: Blakeley State Historic Park is four miles away.

Great spot for a quick one nighter. There was firewood present, but it wasn't corded up, so we weren't able to have a fire for dinner. Luckily I had a stove as backup. Also there was a bit of trash around the property which was a bit off putting. All in all, I would definitely stop here again as it was very private and peaceful. Much much better than the KOA refugee camps that are big right now. This is the way camping sites SHOULD be! Great spot.

It's a very nice place. I don't even know if there were other campers there, because I felt like I was all alone, which I what I wanted. Dave was very accommodating, and friendly, as was the woman who greeted me when I arrived (along with Homer). The driveway was not very obvious me, but note that there is a dirt road next to it that can be a little confusing. His dog Homer is very sweet and friendly, and it was nice to have a "guard" around, to notify of any problematic animals. Just note that he is a mooch for food🙂. There was a fire pit where I was at, and plenty of burnable treefall around, just bring some kind of cutting tool to make good use of it, or be ready to break it apart to usable sizes. If I come back this way, I will definitely stay again.

Ten out of ten would go again.
I was welcomed with a very late check in. The spot was clean and well maintained. There was plenty of firewood for the burn pit with plenty of space for my bike and tent. It was pretty nice to see all of the animals before I headed out.

Super beautiful property! Lots of hikes and beautiful sights close by. Dave’s property is beautiful, as well. The road is close by so you can hear cars but it wasn’t super disturbing. All the animals are friendly, just make sure to put any food up! Super lovely weekend stay
