Places to stay – Please contact them directly for pet policies.  We are pretty close to equal distances to Bainbridge GA, Tallahassee FL, and Cairo GA (we are actually 18 miles south of Cairo) So in regards to where to stay…. There is not much in Cairo, however Bainbridge has a few restaurants, Home Depot, Walmart, Tractor Supply.  Tallahassee has everything!!!

We DO NOT offer RV parking. There are two RV parks listed below.  

Unfortunately, we cannot offer RV parking or hookups at our place.   Our entrance gate is very narrow and most RV’s and travel trailers can not make it through.  Additionally, we are located on a clay road, which is not an issue for normal vehicles, however if it rains the road becomes too dangerous for large recreational vehicles to drive on.   We have listed a couple of RV parks that can accommodate all sizes of recreational vehicles and travel trailers below.
