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.

It was a well cleared space, spacious, and easy to navigate. Dave was cool, accommodating, and communicative. We met the sweetest animals and had a very nice view of the stars. We were even able to see Battlehouse tower from where we were!

Heart of the Country 5 🌟
Our site was spacious and private. Campground is small and not heavily booked. Loved the farm critters! The hot tub was great after sightseeing all day. We loved it so much we booked an extra night! Dave was a very accommodating host and Mel the ground keeper was fantastic. Plan to be back in October

Tent 1
Our ETA changed due to excessive traffic and a severe thunderstorm along the route, but Dave was super accommodating and okay with our later arrival. This spot was lovely, quiet and close to the potty. We slept great under the long leaf pines (learned their name from Dave's info sheet :)), watching the stars and lightning in the distance. I was happy to pick up a little bit of litter that had seemed to blow in over night (leave it better), before we left early to continue on our journey. Great host and spot. Recommend getting here early so you have time to enjoy the animals and take in all the beauty of the area.

Tent with 20amp power
One of my favorite places now……
This was an excellent place to camp. Dave H. was very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. His wife was lovely as well. It’s on a beautiful piece of land with access to power and water. I like to hammock camp but the tent area was neatly manicured and perfect for ground sleeping. I will heartily recommend this place to all of my friends that travel back and forth to the coast and I do to you as well. Oh and their dog Homer was really cool!
