Search for arrowheads, explore the dense hardwood bottomlands and swamps near the Echeconnee creek once home to Muskovee Indian tribes. Forage for many species of mushrooms! WE NOW HAVE FREE FIBER OPTICS WIFI!!! Sun Valley is located just 10 minutes southwest of Macon Georgia. We are WORKING EQUESTRIAN CENTER that welcomes visitors and campers! We are an Arabian Horse Discovery Farm which trains horses and riders to show in many different riding styles expressing the versatility of the Arabian horse! The back of our farm runs along the Echeconnee Creek which was once inhabited by Native Americans. We have found many arrow and spearheads here and we are just 20 minutes from the Ocmulgee Indian Mounds where they host a festival each September. BRING YOUR HORSES TO RIDE THE TRAILS! The Echeconnee swamp is home to Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets and Bald Eagles among many other species of Wildlife. Our 86 acres of lush shady Bridle paths wind along the creek with tributaries to splash through on hot days. Enjoy the flora and fauna of Georgia's rich bottom lands and huge virgin hardwoods. Mushroom hunters PARADISE with golden Chanterelles, Lions Mane and Oyster mushrooms are abundant! Feel free to harvest whatever the land provides as a perk for your stay! For the ghost hunters~ many boarders and neighbors have seen a floating lady in a long white dress.. we call her the "white witch". She has always felt friendly. Often when traversing the trails at night we have found areas with severe temperature drops. We are far enough away from town to have spectacular viewing of stars and planets for the astronomy buffs! Experience the life on an Arabian show horse facility for a few days! We have 20 am electrical hook up, hot and cold water in the horses wash racks. a public restroom with sink/toilet. We have a charcoal grill, and a fire pit. Feel free to gather wood from anywhere on the property for the fire pit. Bring charcoal lighter to get the fire going unless you are a primitive survivalist. WE ALSO HAVE A PLAYGROUND FOR SMALL CHILDREN! We do NOT have a public shower but the Love's station is 3 miles away and they have several super nice showers available at their truck stop! The barn lounge has a full size fridge and microwave, ceiling fan for relaxing and watching the lessons and horse training! Sign up for a few lessons while you are here! (when an instructor has an opening, must book in advance) Bring your own horses and ride the trails! **warning** there are a few weeks mid summer in the South when the deer flies are swarming and the trails are not good for riding horses! Meet our beautiful Friesian stallion! INCREDIBLE photo ops! We have huge open spaces for turning large RV's and horse trailers with living quarters around and many huge shade trees to park under. WE DO NOT HAVE 30amp electrical hook ups but have had many large RV's turn off their hot water heaters and use propane on their fridges and the 20 amp circuit was plenty to power the rest of their RV.

Sun Valley Arabians Horse Camp
Highly Recommend
RVs of all sizes will appreciate the easy access and ample parking available, allowing for a hassle-free stay amidst the beauty of the ranch. Holly was attentive and quick to respond to all inquiries. She even allowed me to ship my Amazon packages there. The highlight, of course, were the stunning horses, whose grace and beauty never failed to mesmerize me. I stayed at the ranch an entire week. To my surprise a foal was born a couple days into my stay. For solo female travelers like myself, safety is paramount, and Sun Valley Arabians Horse Camp provided a reassuring environment. Whether exploring the ranch or simply enjoying the company of the horses, there's a sense of security and peace of mind that comes with the facilities. In essence, Sun Valley Arabians Horse Camp offers a sanctuary where travelers can reconnect with nature and create lasting memories.

Overall this was an interesting experience, but I will probably not return to this camp. I used to have horses so I know what a "horse farm" is. I did not expect to be camping within a few feet of the barns!! With the acreage listed, I somehow thought the camp area would be a little away from the horse stalls. All of the RV "sites" were in the immediate area of the active busy horse use area. With that said, Holly and all of the wranglers at the horse farm were friendly and respectful to us as well as the horses they were caring for. I would recommend this to anyone traveling with their horses.

Nice host..ok camp.
The host, Holly was very nice. The horses were beautiful. My arrival was a bit awkward. A guy pulled up next to me asking if he could help me. He looked displeased. I thought maybe I was at the wrong place. Told him I booked the camp through hicamp. He still looked displeased and drove off. I booked this location because the listing included showers, a kitchen area and bathroom. To access the Wi-Fi you have to walk about a block to the main house and stand in front of the house to connect. It doesnt work in the camp area. The bathroom, kitchen and shower (hoses used to wash the horses - no privacy) were in pretty rough shape and not usable. With a bit of work to bring this place up to speed, it can be an amazing hipcamp. You're on a farm so expect to constantly be swatting tons of flies out of your rig and be aware there is no tree coverage (a struggle in the extreme heat.)

Great place to stay!
The farm is amazing. We stayed three full weeks. It’s a beautiful peaceful place to kick back. Very quite. We were the only RVers there the entire time. The electrical box is 20amp but managed to run our 30amp ac if we turned off the electric water heater and ran the fridge on propane.

Gracious host
Holly and her daughter were very gracious. We arrived late and they helped us with the electrical cord for our set up. In the morning we were pleasantly surprised to be in the middle of a beautiful farm with rolling hills and horses and cows. Holly told us to feel free to explore. It was great fun.
