The Farmcamp story

Five years. One forever home.

Farmcamp was built by three friends who met at gay campgrounds, kept imagining something better, and refused to give up until they found the right place to build it.

It started with a feeling

Farmcamp was a name before it was a place.

Vance, Devin, and Jaime found the kind of freedom and belonging that gay campgrounds can create. Devin and Jaime met each other at one, then got married. That feeling—being able to show up fully and find your people—became the blueprint for a place of their own.

The original Farmcamp

Before the property had a name on a map, Vance's mini farm in Elberton, Georgia became the first Farmcamp: friends camping together with an above-ground pool, an inflatable hot tub, an old barn, and a few campers. It was simple, a little scrappy, and it became a safe spot.

Five years of trying

The three owners kept returning to the same question: what would our own campground look like? They tried to build it in two other places first. Those communities fought hard against the plan, but the vision kept getting clearer.

The search for home

More than 100 pieces of land and over 1,000 listings later, they found this magical creekside place in Tuskegee, Alabama. It had the room, the woods, and the feeling that Farmcamp had been looking for all along.

The forever home

Farmcamp now brings the original feeling forward: upscale amenities, nature with nightlife, and a place where people can arrive as guests and become chosen family.

From Elberton to Tuskegee

A few campers, an old barn, and a big idea.

At the first Farmcamp, a group of friends made their own small camping vacation on Vance's mini farm. The name stuck because the feeling did too: a place to relax, show up fully, and be around people who got it.

The people behind it

Three founders. One shared belief in chosen family.

Devin + Jaime

Devin and Jaime met at a gay campground, fell in love, and got married. Their story is part of the reason Farmcamp is built around the kind of belonging that turns a weekend away into a real connection.

One shared vision

The three founders

Together, Vance, Devin, and Jaime keep Farmcamp grounded in imagination, hospitality, and care for every person who comes through the gate.

Rooted in Tuskegee

A place with a powerful, complicated history.

Farmcamp is proud to call Tuskegee home—and to hold its history with respect. This is a city shaped by Black leadership, agricultural innovation, the long work of civil rights, and a public-health injustice that must never be forgotten.

Education + agriculture

Land, learning, and self-determination.

Tuskegee University grew from a commitment to education and practical opportunity. Its agricultural legacy, including the work of George Washington Carver, helped farmers build healthier soil, stronger crops, and more sustainable futures.

Civil rights legacy

Progress has deep roots here.

From Booker T. Washington’s leadership to generations of Black educators, students, organizers, and service members, Tuskegee has helped shape the ongoing pursuit of dignity, opportunity, and civil rights.

Truth + accountability

The study must be named.

The U.S. Public Health Service study conducted in Tuskegee and Macon County from 1932 to 1972 denied Black men informed consent and available treatment. Its harm changed medical-research ethics and remains a call for trustworthiness in public health.

Farmcamp is still growing, but the heart of it is the same: nature with nightlife, thoughtful comfort, and chosen family around every corner.
