About the area.
Visitors to Gee's Bend will find stunning natural beauty and rich culture, but, like any rural area, there are a few things to consider when planning your trip. Grocery stores, hospitals, and restaurants are 30-–60 minutes away, so bring essentials. The area has treated running water, but many homes lack septic systems, so be mindful of water usage. Cell service can be spotty, so download directions ahead of time, and check the ferry status to Camden, as it may close due to weather or maintenance.
