Located on the beautiful Broad River, summer offers views of kayakers and tubers floating down the river, close enough to see, but far enough away to feel alone. Eagle spottings and colorful landscapes make this retreat a camper's heaven. Learn more about this land: 20 minutes from downtown Athens. A quarter mile down a winding dirt drive will open up to a beautiful scene of river and nature. Quiet solitude and you are at one with this piece of heaven. Keep your eyes open for the bald eagle. If you are agile enough, climb down the terrain to the river for an early morning bath or fish for lunch. This site is a singular rental. You will have it to yourself. You may choose to camp with friends in which there is space for an Rv and a pull behind or two small rvs. It can also be used to tent camp. There is a small shed with a full bunk on bottom and a twin on top. A table with two chairs and electric fireplace. There is in addition, a small A/C unit in the shed.

Broad River Retreat

Great for campers with dogs

Great place to camp with a great view. We brought our dogs and they loved roaming around all weekend off-leash. The heated bathroom was a luxury we usually don’t have. We made a day trip over to Watson Mill State Park and enjoyed that as well.

Broad River Retreat

Peaceful space for nature lovers!

Nestled in a cozy setting just overlooking the Broad River, the campsite was a perfect place to watch the moon rise over the water. It was a pretty short hike down to the river. The shed with the bunk bed, fridge and heater was a game changer and having a bathroom with a shower was an extra comfort. Everything was clean and convenient. The space overall was very private and quiet with plenty of areas for tents and cooking. Highly recommend this getaway in nature. We will definitely be back!

Broad River Retreat

Secluded escape from the city

My partner and I had a wonderful experience here and we would absolutely return! This is a very private location, seriously we did not see or hear a single person the entire time and I’m already missing the quiet nights. As people have stated in other reviews, phone service is very poor here so bring movies to watch. You’ll need water shoes for the rough rocks on the river and sheets for the bed.

Our 9th trip to Broad River Retreat, we love it for the quiet, privacy, amenities and peace. Jean is an excellent host and takes very good care of the site and buildings. Worth it!
