About Heart of the Country
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 (portable-potty) for your use. This is a Longleaf Pine sanctuary with lots of nature trails. This is also a hobby farm with livestock (two Donkeys, two Goats 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 barking during the night. We also host three AirBnBs, 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.

Another great camp. Everything was smooth sailing. Dave is a good host. We enjoyed our camp and the site!
Lovely little spot on the hill! We got to watch a beautiful sunset through the pines. Big storm blew in at night, but we were tucked enough that we made it! Absolutely recommend! And I loved getting to say good morning to the goats and donkeys!
Perfect quiet place right outside Blakely State park. Easy to get park on his lot. Definitely stay again.
Tall pines, camellia lined drive, easy in and out, so lovely. The Merlyn App identified 8 different birds as we packed to go. Stay there.
Lovely piney tent spot with a nice view! We had plenty of space and privacy. It was fun to visit the critters. Dave was kind and quick to reply.
