We arrived at our campsite a day early and content that we would finally be able to set up camp in the daylight. That is, until we met Glen. Glen is the owner of the campground and a delightfully chatty good ol’ southern boy with a flair of hippie. John and I were enamored immediately. We talked for well over an hour, discussing everything from history of the area to the chickens roaming the grounds, to their future plans for the campground.
The campground was empty. Glen was a little surprised, but tickled that we would be spending Christmas here.
The campground is no-frills, but is a magical place off the beaten path. With full hook-ups, a pond, a little creek, wildlife, chickens, and filled with antique curiosities, it is southern charm encapsulated on several acres of land.
