Camp Topisaw

95 acres on the beautiful Topisaw Creek. Here we've raised 5 kids and a multitude of dogs, cats and chickens and a small herd of pineywoods cattle. The woods are quiet and undisturbed , harboring native species like jack in the pulpit, trillium and Florida anise. The spring-fed (and thus always refreshing!) Topisaw Creek forms the eastern border of our property, so plan to spend time on the sandy beaches and rock bars soaking up the sun or hunting for rocks and fossils (petrified wood and arrowheads have been found here). Many folks also enjoy a leisurely float down the creek in inner tubes ('tubing') or in a kayak. (Please note that after heavy rains the creek rises to epic heights and is too dangerous to navigate.) Little to no light pollution makes for amazing stargazing!

At Camp Topisaw you'll be surrounded by nature. Enjoy camping in the woods or on a sandbar along the creek. Spend your days hiking the trails, playing in the creek or hunting for rocks and fossils. This photo was taken at Site 5.

Entrance to Duck Pond Overlook from the pasture.

Large wooded site has spots for up to 5 tents.

The cool and clear Topisaw Creek forms the eastern border of our property. Enjoy wading, rock hunting, floating. Plan to just relax!

Drive your car right up to the site for easy unloading.

Site 1: Super easy access in the corner of the pasture. Just drive up and unload! Perfect for sunsets and stargazing.

All You Need Institute

All You Need is a 111 acre paradise that is home to some VERY unique and endangered habitat. Our northern boundary is a tract of DeSoto National Forest, where we have practically exclusive access to another 90 acres of longleaf pine savannah and more bottomland creeks.

The sandhills are home to prickly pear cactus, deer moss (7 kinds of lichen), and our mascot, the endangered Gopher Tortoise.

We're working to develop a nature education and retreat center where we share permaculture practices, homesteading/sustainable living skills, conservation practices, and approaches to connecting more deeply to the land.

You will have access to and be a 5 minute walk from our many walking paths and our swimming pond, as well as a 15 minute walk to Desoto National Forest, which butts up to our property line.

We would love to have you as our guest on the land, and are especially eager to meet travelers who deeply love nature and want to live in better relationship to it!

Check in is between 2pm - 8pm, Check out is 11am. There's a fee for late check-in to our site.
