8. Sacred Space Urban Retreat
Be the first to review!•15 SavesFairburn, GeorgiaHave 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.

Lake Martin Recreation Area
Stayed here with family
This is another one of the U.S. Military Campgrounds (similar to the Maxwell/Gunter AFB one in Montgomery) and similarly, it caters primarily to RVs. There are a few tent sites available but they aren't very nice or well maintained. The whole campground is a bit run down and in need of attention and updating.
There is a boat launch and beach area. However, I wouldn't recommend spending much time in the beach area due to the large amount of garbage and pet waste. Oddly, dogs are allowed within the park but only if you are camping in a camper or RV. Dogs are not allowed in the tent camping area which I find odd.
We stayed here while visiting family in the area and I wouldn't stay here again. There isn't much to do unless you have a boat so you would be better off finding a different place to spend your time.

Pioneer Campsite
Went tent camping at the pioneer campsite - for larger groups (35-40) but smaller groups can reserve too - we only had 4 people. Pioneer is up the hill from the main Rv campground and there is a little trail you can drive up - a car can make it but recommend a truck. Pioneer is spacious and all to yourself. Main campground is pretty close together but you can tent camp there too. Played putt putt and walked the trails - clean campground with nice staff/host.

A great park outside a perfect southern campus. War Eagle!!
Parked late one afternoon to get a driving break in road trip. Tent camping from dusk till dawn was peaceful. Lots of areas to climb though the trails.

Little Tallapoosa Park
Excellent tent camping
I love the separate tent & RV campsites. The tent sites are decent size and there is some wooded space between each one so it felt quiet and semi-private. The only downfall was that we had to move a lot of golfball-size rocks out of the way to set up our tent, and we inevitably missed a few, but otherwise it was great! The bathrooms were pretty clean and there is even a laundry facility. The tent sites have electricity, too. My kids enjoyed biking around the camping loop and we did some geocaching. For the price ($15/night), this is a pretty great place to camp.

Get away from it all...without getting too far away
Secluded and quiet, but 10 minutes from anything you forgot to bring. Ideal for RV'ing, this place is good for picnics, hiking, or just peaceful reflection. Tent camping is also available.

We tent camped on site 14 Spring 2017. Big campground with lots of lake front sites or views. Bath house was clean. Very relaxing and spacious sites that are spread out! We will be back!

Whitetail Ridge Campground
spacious sites!
We tent camped here on site 23 in February 2015. Sites were spacious and spread apart! Almost all sites were on West Point lake or had lake views. Bath house was clean but a very long walk! They need a few more so it's not so far from some sites. We will be back!

Tent site
Super well maintained tent sites. The tent footprint is elevated by railroad ties, preventing flooding and it made it very convenient to put my boots on in the morning. Established trash/food hang poles as well as picnic tables next to the fire ring with fold over grill capabilities.

Tent Campers Delight
We were there back in June. We had spot 96 and we tent camped. The spot was recommended in another review and it was wonderful. Right beside the water so the kids were able to play in the water most of the time. My family enjoyed it and it was our first camping trip. We are looking forward to going back.

Newer State park that still needs some work
The tent campsites were nice and close to the river. Next time I go, I would like to try the platforms next to the river. Everything was clean and well kept. The trails needed some work.
Ashley W.TravelerLittle Tallapoosa Park
Nice county park
Nice big spaced out spots, that offer full hook ups. Friendly staff, good hiking trails, creeks for kids to play in. Pull through and back in paved sites. They also offer tent sites.
Cons - have to call to book, weekend campers destroyed bathhouses, and lack of cleaning crew

Franklin D Roosevelt State Park Campground
Great short stay Getaway
Went tent camping for one night at FDR. It is very pretty. Great short or long hiking trails. They are challenging as there are some very steep parts. Walked around Lake Delanor with the kids. They had a ball. The campsites are close to each other. The whole campsite is not very big compared to others I have been to. Would not recommend a long camper here as it would be tight is some spots.

Amity Campground
Well maintained, flexible, and right on the water
We stayed at tent site 63. Park is very well maintained. Camp hosts were especially accommodating and helped us get a great spot without reservations on Labor day weekend. Our site was right on the waterfront with plenty of firewood available in the surrounding woods. Not all bath houses have showers but they were all well maintained. We would definitely go again!

Could Not Have Asked for Better
I am rather new to tent camping so I really appreciated the helpful folks running the camping area. Each spot had electricity, water, great internet, picnic table and places to build a fire. Each site is shielded from the next by trees. Bathrooms and showers are used but clean. Clear maps available for hiking or biking. Nice lake with swimming and boating. Pet friendly. Could not have asked for more or better.

Hiking, camping, and sight seeing at Chewacla State Park, near Auburn, Alabama
Nice hiking trails here. Mountain biking is also allowed on many of the trails. Trails are along the lake, along the creek, and in the woods. Trail map is well done and helpful. Easy to get to this state park that is not far from interstate hwy I-85 near Auburn, AL. Some pictures attached taken while hiking and sight seeing. Both RV camping and primitive tent camping can be done here. Cabins/cottages can also be rented.

Extended stay at uchee creek
I stayed here in my NoBo 16.2 camper for almost 6 weeks waiting on a house. The site is clean. Cable, electric, water and sewer. The wifi has been out for a while. Tent sites and cabins also available. Lots of wildlife. If you're into C130s flying over due to being in close proximity to the US Army Airborne School, this is the place for you.
DeWayne H.GuideMcIntosh Reserve Park
Beautiful and quite.
This place is a great place for family reunions or birthday parties. They even do Easter egg hunts every year. Also, for those that are into Geocashing, there are a few you could find here. This place has some nice trails and plenty of pavilions for large groups. You can tent camp or bring your RV. They have access to the Chattahoochie River for kayaking and fishing as well. This is a beautiful and quite place to enjoy some time in the sun.

Nice campground, lots of history
Tent camped on site 611 with water and electric.Very close to clean showers. Showers have two private family rooms for added privacy. The 600 series sites appear to be new. Friends used full hookup, pull-through RV just across road. Many shady spots.
Lots of trails in park. President Roosevelt had favorite overlook in park which now has his statue. FDR Little White House and museum are very interesting and only a few minutes away in Warm Springs. Pine Mountain is pretty small town.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground
Cabins are definitely the highlight here!
The primitive sites (for tents) were a bit close and not as private as I like.
They offer platform camping and those sites seem a bit more secluded (and are in a separate area from the tent sites).
There are 4 cabins available to reserve and they have great amenities (running water, electricity)
We looked at them once there and think next time we will do this with the kids.
2 rangers live in the park full time and there is a large welcome center/ gift shop with basics for sale should you forget anything.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground
Convenient to home
It’s a decent park. We camped on the raised platforms by the river. The other campgrounds are away from the river back in the woods. The tent sites are a bit too close together for my liking. The facilities are taken care of and kept up, but my idea of hiking is a bit more than just a walk through the woods- not a whole lot of elevation change on the trails, as you are not in the mountains. I would stay there again, though.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground
Amazing
It was awesome. The trails are well marked and easy to follow. The river is beautiful and the overlook towers were a nice touch. Being able to lay in the hammock right next to the water was perfect. The campsites are flat and easy to get in and out of especially with large 5th wheel campers. The tent sites can be right up front or just off the beaten path. I really appreciate the choice. The picnic areas are perfect for the whole family and the boat ramp is well maintained. I will be a frequent visitor.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park Campground
You won't be disappointed
Chattahoochee Bend state park is located about 30 minutes west of Newnan, GA. It's located on the Chattahoochee river and is a surprisingly large area. The park has a number of trails for hiking and mountain biking. There are cabins and tent camping sites separate from the rv sites. Rv camping area has large, level gravel sites with water, 30/50 amp electric and cable. Two dump stations help eliminate waiting in long lines when you're ready to hit the road again. Bath house looks like new and is well cared for. On site host is keeping the place in tip top shape. We'll definitely be returning to this park. Highly recommended. Only negative - no cell service while we were there.

Not much but the River
Chattahoochee Bend State Park is located on bend of the Chattahoochee River southeast of Atlanta, near Columbus GA. This is one of Georgia’s largest and newest state parks, with five miles of river frontage on the Chattahoochee. The campground has about 40 sites, some pull-they, but little shade. There are also some walk-in tent sites, and platform sites. The standard sites are water & electric, there is a bathroom/shower, and a dump station. There are cabins if you are not a camper. This is mostly a fishing/hiking park. A boat ramp provides access to the river for boaters and canoeing and there are six miles of wooded trails are open for hiking. There is an observation platform with views of the river and forest, but visibility was limited because of the trees. There isn’t much here but the river trail. But it is close to Columbus, GA, there are some zip-line places near by, and Roosevelt’s Little White House are close.
