A wooded trail follows the stream to the ruins of the New Manchester Manufacturing Company, a textile mill burned during the Civil War. Beyond the mill, the trail climbs rocky bluffs to provide views of the beautiful rapids below.

8. Sacred Space Urban Retreat
Be the first to review!•14 SavesHave you ever seen a Wild Georgia Turkey strut around?
We have one of the largest wood peckers I have EVER seen!
Not to mention our doe pack will definitely sneak upon you.
And there have even been little Georgia otters spotted!
The property is a beautiful wooded 10 acres on a rainwater creek. There are small babbling brooks and waterfalls, walking trails, lake, and Georgia's best wildlife.
About 500ft down a trail into the beautifully cleared woods is this one room cabin off the grid, disconnected from the “creature comforts” to enjoy the peace and serenity of nature.
Experience the nostalgia of camping but inside a solid building. You get to enjoy the whole cabin, greenhouse spa room and bamboo composting outhouse to yourself.
There is a fire-pit to roast whatever you desire as well as a grill with utensils.
The greenhouse is covered and filled with beautiful flowers in the spring and summer.
Inside you will find a large soaking spa tub with a fully functioning cold water shower head. There are 2 sun heated camp showers in the greenhouse. These stay in the sun and warm through the day.
The super simple compost toilet outhouse gets the job done in the most environmentally friendly way while it is composting. Additionally it does not disturb the natural ecosystem of our local wildlife. Once full, we use it to fill spaces and garden soil on the property.
Parking is complimentary at the main house (where my family and I live full time) It is a short walk down the trail to the cabin. Bring your rain boots if rain is on the forecast. We do have some you can borrow in case of Atlanta's notorious downpours!
There are other guests and other animals on the property.
No electricity or running water but composting toilet outhouse with cold running water sink+ camp shower in the greenhouse spa room. I also bring and/or make available 3 gallons of boiling water in a warming tank per day.
During the winter you receive 2 tanks of propane for the camp heater and 1 long burn fire log per night. There is a Cabana and Fire pit as well as a grill with utensils. 6 charging ports, Wi-Fi and parking available at the main house. Walking trails, lake, and wildlife. You’re welcome to enjoy our 10 acres of trails with creeks and brooks.
This is not just a cheap overnight stay, it’s an experience. In order to keep the cost affordable to those who are truly looking for this type of experience, please be honest with yourself.
We care for each of our guests with everything we have, but this is an independent journey and exploration of nature in a safe space.
God has entrusted the care of this Sacred Space to me. I pour my heart and soul into the cultivation of its natural beauty.
We are a thriving community of nature lovers.
Off-grid means learning how to exist in your most natural state without commonly connected amenities.
Here we disconnect from electricity and hot water.
That means:
No electricity - we have solar or battery powered lights after sundown.
No a/c - we have fans during summer, propane heater and sub zero sleeping bags during winter
No wifi - your brain will thank you.
According to the Cleveland clinic, researchers have found that taking icy showers may heighten your immune system and make you more resistant to illness.
All Amenities Listed Available on Request
The host/owner is a disabled Afghanistan veteran. We believe in and protect the rights of every American citizen. But we also love peace, nature, safety and all our babies - human or furry.
Georgia is a constitutional carry state. All guests who have weapons brought onto the property must notify us prior to arrival. The weapon must stay stored and secured during your stay as we are a family friendly and animal friendly property. We are in the middle of 4 subdivisions. This is not a safe place to shoot your weapon for recreation .
Also, this is Georgia and the cabin is in the woods. There are Georgia wild animals capable of showing up during your stay. Please do not shoot the animals.
Additionally, we have a few non-aggressive companion animals on the property. Please inform us if you are bringing an animals that may or may not be startled or agitated easily. They are still VERY welcome, but we want to take every measure to ensure everyone’s safety
Finally, if you’re coming here for a hotel stay, this is not the place to book. Poor reviews of this experience because of a lack of understanding diminish the purpose of the place we love.
Recommending that we spend more money on your comforts will more than likely price this location out of the budgets for those who choose to be frugal and intentional with it.
Why don't we use or have a/c?
Air Conditioning one of the single greatest contributors to global warming.
Think about it. Cool air in equals warm air out. The heat you “cool” had to go somewhere. That’s why when you stand next to the HVAC outside your house it’s blowing out hot air.
The cooler you make your house, the more heat you are releasing into the atmosphere. The hotter it gets outside, the more you need to cool down your house…ad nauseam.
Almost 90% of American homes use air conditioners, accounting for 6% of all the country's residential energy use. This air conditioning directly translates to a release of about 100 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.
As humans we have gotten accustomed to burning up the planet on both ends for our comfort.
Please, I beg you, do not come here if being hot in the summer and cold in the winter is unreasonable. Dress appropriately so you may enjoy the campsite.
Winter time recommendations: bring/wear a onesie type footed/hooded pajamas.
Summer time: bring loose fitting clothing, hop in the shower upon arrival, grab a cool drink and settle down in one of our hammocks.
If you have read all of this, you want to be adventurous, but are unsure, I participate in Airbnb's flexible cancellation policy. It's worth it.

Atlanta West Campground
Great place
The campsite's proximity to I-20 makes it super convenient to get to. It's a great spot for a quick trip or a longer stay, and the friendly seasonal campers really add to the community vibe. By the way, I just bought a camper with the help of radiant credit union customer service. Their customer service was so helpful in sorting out the financial side of things, which means I can now enjoy camping trips to places like Atlanta West Campground hassle-free!

Ramsey RV Park
Ramsey rv park// warm springs, ga.
Full hook up's, salt h2o swimming pool, cable, bath house, camp fires allowed, pets allowed on leash, $700.00 / month. Older rv and m.home park (1967) and bath house is dated but clean, laundry facilities. Gathering area with BBQ grill, tv and fireplace. Privately owned. Short or long term camping. Checks or cash only. We plan to stay long term, month to month. Most spots are spaced for privacy. Some are shaded. Not much to do in Warm Springs ga. Would not depend on any action.
. QUIET!! PRIVATE!!

Secluded Until It Wasn’t
I enjoyed my stay here during the day, but things changed after dark. There were old weedeaters scattered in the weeds, along with grills and other items that seemed to have been tossed into the woods. I initially brushed it off and didn't think much of it. I was the only one camping at this site. As night fell, I began preparing for bed, but I noticed vehicles coming and going—at least three within an hour. Around 10 PM, a few Mustangs pulled up and sat for about 45 minutes. Feeling uneasy about the situation, I decided to pack up and leave. After sharing my experience with a few friends, many of them expressed their own concerns about this location. I give it 3 stars for the beauty and peacefulness... until nightfall.

Nice place to get away
We really enjoyed staying at High Falls. Most of the RV sites were spaced well apart and the amenities were clean.

Ocmulgee River Camp
Gorgeous site, trails a little rough
Beautiful campsite, just a few neighbors, tons of flat space and a few fire pits. There are hunters around and we heard a good deal of shots. Saw some deer on a walk. It was quite hot but surprisingly not that buggy.

F.D. Roosevelt State Park
Pretty state campground
We had some flubs with this campground. We put the wrong address in our GPS resulting in us arriving too late to use the pool. Then we neglected to pick up our paperwork and had to drive back to the main building to get it and we drove past the campground host on duty so we didn’t get firewood. Our campsite was pretty: flat, spacious, shaded with trees, but it was frustrating to drive past the even prettier spots right on the lake and realize that’s what I should have booked!! Several people were out enjoying evening fishing as we drove past to our more woodsy loop.
We were here all of 12 hours - it was a nice stopover on our route further south. Really quiet and absolutely spotless bathhouse! I really was bummed about not getting to the pool (it was not open the next day) - we will come back!

GuideF.D. Roosevelt State Park
Nice site, well maintained
I am getting back into camping for the first time in a very long time. Went to FDR State Park because it’s only about 30 minutes from home. Booking site 111 was easily done online. I arrived after the office had closed but my reservation sheet with instructions was left in a box on the door for me to pick up. Great park with nice lake for fishing, kayaking, paddle boating as well many hiking trails. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Visited Dowdell’s Knob which gives a fantastic view…no wonder it was FDR’s favorite picnicking site when visiting Warm Springs. I would definitely recommend and will be back, but next time will be spring or fall because summer was just too hot.

Bush Head Shoals Park
a hidden gem
We found this campsite while looking for an overnighter while traveling. We are on a motorcycle so we checked with Raven to make sure we would be good. The roads are gravel but well maintained. We had no problems getting in. The spots are well maintained, no power or water, so be prepared. For the price, you won't find a better campground.

Tyler Campground
This place is a refuge. There are privately owned homes around but the folks keep to themselves. It's quiet, super dark at night and beautiful. No amenities, you pack it in, you pack it out. The state keeps it and the road in nice. Expect to have a drive thru at least once around 9/10. It's just a see who is in the area type thing. Very nice place

Bad Experience
We should have known when we first arrived not to stay here. Our welcome was very brisk and unfriendly. Our site was literally right next to the freeway with terrible freeway noise and fuel smells. We asked to be moved and our new site was so narrow that the picnic tables didn’t even fit in the site and tottered on the edge of the site’s bank. They offer site garbage pick up daily, but not to monthly stays. So they drive right by your site while picking up garbage to sites right next to you! Playground is satisfactory but the dog park is muddy and rocky. When we signed in and mentioned we were excited about having a dog park the check in person said she wouldn’t take her dog to it! I highly recommend driving right on by! We use KOA’s regularly and this campground management is far below KOA standards! Beware!
Greg D.TravelerOcmulgee River Camp
Great Camping Spot
Open spaces and very quiet this time of the year (January) train horn in the distance and gunshots in the distance as well from hunters here and there but all around a great spot to really enjoy.

Forsyth KOA
Forsyth, GA….Horrible
Don’t go!!!! The person said it was a vaca must have stayed in some pretty bad campgrounds. The sites have crumbled asphalt so hard to find sold place for jacks. We pd for sewer but didn’t get it. Roads were tight with lots of trees and set up on circles. Two older gentleman on a golf cart said they just purchased it 5 days ago. Based upon prior comments and pictures I don’t believe that to be true. You come in on a frontage road with a switch back right by the turn into parking area. The left turn into the park is like a tight u-turn in which there is a huge ditch or drop off that you can’t make without the rear of the RV dropping into this ditch. The campground sits a bit below the frontage road. To compound issues not only can you not make that turn without the back of the camper in this ditch and ripping off the jacks and other components in the rear, there is a sizable crest on frontage road so while our 42’ 5th wheel was sitting on the road we were hoping nobody came flying down that hill and be not able to stop. It was suggested by a guy waiting for us on the switch back to get out of his way to back up and go up the switch back and come in from the other side. It worked but that’s dangerous and needs to be taken care of immediately. Laundry room was ok and reasonable.

Nice open camp site with plenty of spots for camping. Only a mile off the road, which is a little bumpy but manageable.

Murder Creek Parking Area
Great quiet place to enjoy the water cascaded
To be honest, this is a parking lot people use to park and walk the 200 feet down the the shoals and water cascades along Murder Creek. When we arrived, right before sunset in the middle of the week, it was clear that people had camped here (old fire ring near the end of the parking lot). We decided to take a chance and were glad we did. Besides the faint traffic noise that is mostly drowned out by the waterfall noise, this place was very quiet. We saw no one that evening or the next morning prior to departure. Had fun walking down to the water. I suspect in the summer this area is quite the hot spot with swimmers. The lot provably does require a little clearance. So, a sedan may not be the best choice. That probably helps with traffic control on this road. The site is at the very end.

Llamas on the Loose Farm
Loved the Llamas!
We absolutely loved all the animals on the farm. We camped right next to the lower field with a llamas, a pot belly pig and goats. It was so great to be able to look out the windows and see all of them. The pig (Wilbur) got to know us and always came by looking for a few acorns to be slipped through the fence. We absolutely loved the farm and Natalie and Brian were amazing hosts. They offered water for the camper and leveling blocks upon our arrival and had a nice campfire in the evening. We enjoyed shopping in the gift store and buying some last gifts and even pumpkins for halloween.

Safe Haven RV Park
NOT A SAFE HAVEN
Idk what’s going on but management drives out any workers every 3 months, and overworks them, doing 18 hours a day, and doesn’t even pay some of them. That’s not normal, and highly suspicious.
It’s not a safe town or a safe park. Half of it is a trashy trailer park, and is crawling with drug addicts, alcoholics, and thieves. Cops would come by weekly.
DONT GO HERE.
I know it’s cheap. It’s not worth it.

Campground has it all!
I love this campground. Sites are usually clean and staff are friendly. This is my second time camping here. I come for the Highland Games here. Sites are close so it would not benefit you if you want seclusion. Bathrooms are clean. And in October there are different activities for the kids. Fall fest and Halloween parade.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park
One of our favorites!
We loved this campground! Definitely one of our favorites. The campsites are spacious and private. The amenities are all close by and were super clean the entire time we were there. The playground is more geared toward older children, but it was very well taken care of.
Our campground hosts at the time (Dennis and Colleen) were so welcoming and friendly. They were always quick to offer a wave and friendly smile every time we saw them. Lisa, the maintenance host, was also fantastic! We enjoyed getting to know all 3 of them.
The hiking trails are all very clearly marked, and we enjoyed exploring during our time there.
The closest town is about a 45 min drive, but we didn’t mind at all. Just make sure to stock up before heading to the park.
We can’t wait to visit this park again. So far it is one of our favorites!

Felt like I was on vacay and not in my RV! Awesome place. Staff is kind courteous and went over and beyond. They let us do mini golf even though it was supposed to close Bc we wouldn’t have had a chance otherwise. Def recommend!
