About this property
Secluded River-overlook campsite
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. It is a small space with nothing but outlets and a small refrigerator. You will need to bring all of your essentials. Pillows/Sheets/Linens/towels are not provided. The bath house is steps away. You will need towels/rags/soap/toilet paper and all essentials. It is merely a toilet, sink, and shower.
There is a Weber charcoal grill available on site. Bring your essentials.
You will need to bring your own firewood..
The driveway to the site is marked with the 1793 address sign on Davids Home Church rd. If you are driving N/NW on David's Home Church Rd, it is exactly 2 miles on the right from where you turned onto the road. If you are traveling E/SE on David's Home Church Rd, it is exactly 1.7 miles on the left from where you turned onto David's Home Church Rd.
The gate will be closed, please close the gate back when you leave.
Please take advantage of the Broad River outpost to rent kayaks/canoes/tubes.
Also The Sandbar is located minutes away and they also provide rentals as well as zip lining.
Royston has a grocery store and fast food.

Private Get A Way
This place really excedes our expectations. The owners were accomodating to our desired dates. It was close to what we were coming to town for. We loved the privacy and the spunds of the river. This will be our go to place now. So much better than a campground or hotel.

This place was exactly as described. The path down to the Broad was nice to have. I got to see the bald eagle! I also saw softshell turtles and an otter! The view of the Broad was nice, but the site is still nice and hidden/secluded from view when looking from the river. I rented a kayak from Broad River Outpost and could barely catch a glimpse of the site, even knowing where to look, so that made me feel even more secure in the seclusion. The shower (specifically the hot water) worked well, as did the air conditioning in the sleeping area. The host was very responsive. 10/10 will stay again without hesitation (visiting from Texas).

Magical place to go
This place is unique and wonderful. It looks like a portrait. The silence and tranquility that you feel is unbeatable. Seeing an incredible sunrise from your bed is a unique experience that we enjoy. Sleeping with the sound of the river water flowing even more incredible. It is a magical place to enjoy nature and the peace and tranquility that some of us seek. The only thing that is not consistent with such beauty is that there is no cell phone signal (only Straightalk), not even a signal for regular television, let alone internet. This place is unique to get away and enjoy nature.

Thank you Norma for the review. Yes, it is definitely about getting away. Sometimes away from tv and internet is a good thing😉

The perfect trip to get away!
I hate to leave a great review not because anything at all was bad but I want to keep this location all to myself! The pictures don’t do it justice! It was so relaxing and beautiful! The owner had great communication as well. We loved it all around and we’ll definitely book again!
