Welcome to our little piece of heaven! Our property offers a variety of activities for you to enjoy and a variety of camping options. Set up camp in a tent, screened hammock, car, bus or RV, or stay in one of our primitive dry camping cabins. All camp areas are private from our home, with a porta potty and well water available. Please be aware-we are a working farm. There is sometimes noise and if you are sensitive bring earplugs, headphones, etc... The ducks chatter and talk the night away, the dogs do bark if Bambi-Baloo-Thumper or their chicken siblings hang too close to the pens. We have wildlife here! Owls, coyotes, bear and deer some are more musical than others. Please be aware! Never put your hands where you can't see! North Carolina has several poisonous snakes and although we don't see them often, we are playing in their playground-the great outdoors. There are mosquitoes, ticks, fire ants (esp. after a good rain) and critters outdoors. Always bring bug spray even if you think you may not need it! To avoid unwanted interaction ,keep tents/screens on cabins zipped or closed when not in use. Make sure food is "buttoned up" for the night and be aware of any crumbs or scraps dropped on the ground or in cabins. This will invite unwanted guests of all types. Be aware and observant where you walk and use a flashlight or headlamp at night. We will not be responsible for injury, bites, stings, etc... Be smart and camp safe! There are MANY things to do in our area that are low cost to free, which is an added plus for any families coming to visit! Just ask me and I'll give you suggestions depending on your budget. Plenty of stuff for grown-ups too! Walmart Express is less than three miles away and Walmart Supercenter is less than five miles away. Smithfields BBQ, Chinese and Bojangles are close by. There are two wonderful restaurants nearby El Mexicano and Pizza/subs place that will deliver camp side too! Be sure to mention what site number you are camped at! If you love the ocean, the beach is just a short distance away. Emerald Isle is ten miles away, Ft. Macon is twelve miles away. These both have public beaches and Ft. Macon offers hot showers if you don't opt for our cold one! Hikers will love the nearby trails and abundant hiking options from pocosin (bogs) swamps to the Mountain to Sea Trail. Our property is perfect for outdoor adventure and exploration. If you prefer a more relaxing stay, you can stay on our property and enjoy a refreshing swim in our pond or cozy up by a campfire. Bring your s'mores gear to belly up to a picnic table. Birdwatching is a popular activity here as we are a family-run bird farm with a variety of feathered friends including ducks, chickens, guineas, geese, turkey and even an emu or two! We have recently added baby goats and also have cows. Napoleon and Rosie are Dwarf pygmies and Brielle is a New Zealand Kiko. Napoleon, Elle and Rosie love children and kids are welcome to come visit them under the supervision of Miss Jennifer. Fresh eggs are available for breakfast, straight from our farm to your plate. We offer mini tours of the animals when we feed up and kids like to help gather eggs. Just reserve the "Feeding time" and a head count. We are passionate about birds and love to share our knowledge with our guests. The porta toilet is located at the end of the emu pen and well water is available in front of the barn. There are buckets available to bring water to you.r site Any vehicle over 6' will have to enter/exit on West (left) side of the pond due to low clearance. Cold water shower available. (Let me define...high tech redneck style; a hose with multi option spigot.) Our property is also conveniently located near the historic towns of Beaufort and New Bern, perfect for a day trip. There are nearby stores and farmers markets where you can get fresh veggies, and we are always willing to suggest places to go. You can also visit Fort Macon, Hammocks Beach, Carteret County Speedway, the NC Aquarium, local farms, live music at The Gardens and more. Go see a local mud bog on Saturday nights or check out the local Bogue Sound distillery and fabulous seafood restaurants, which is just a short drive away. Bring your boat because we have plenty of space to park and can direct you to whichever type of waterway you want to be on. There are nearby private fishing charters, horseback riding and ferry adventures to go see the ponies. Better yet go visit the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort and get inspired to sign up to build your own boat. They offer excellent sea themed classes for the children during the summer. Sign up early because they fill up fast. Just one of our neat local treasures. Come have an assisted outdoor oyster roast! You go pick up your fresh local oysters (in season) from people we can recommend, and we can help walk you thru the "how to". We will have all you need: pot, burner, knives, new condiments and table ready to go so all you have to do is cook eat and enjoy! Go clamming! We can provide you with all you need to go get your dinner! (in season) Rake, floating bucket, a hat and the knowledge of where and when to go. A boat or kayak is recommended. We do have a kayaks available with a deposit to take it offsite. This is bookable through the extras. We know people/locations to get you going for beach fishing, kayaking, hunting, and tons more. Don't forget there are many festivals, parades and floatillas nearby to enjoy. Mumfest in New Bern is always awesome and don't forget the NC Seafood Festival. During Winter carriage rides can be arranged through historical New Bern. We are open year-round, and Wintertime is a delight at the beach. Come visit us during the holiday season to enjoy the lights and cuddle up to a cozy campfire. The cabins are heated by propane, and we can have a tank ready for you when you arrive for an extra charge. A single 20 lb tank typically lasts four days. Light a luminary to float on the pond to make your New Year begin just right even just for a special occasion! We ask that no one smokes inside the cabins for the safety of yourself and allergies to other campers. Thank you in advance and please police your butts. We try to keep the area tidy. There are trash cans by #4 and #5 also the large dumpster behind the barn. Please do not feed anything to our birds! Each species has a specialized diet and just one food item wrong could kill them.

New Connections and spoiled campers

Oh my gosh if the glowing reviews of this hidden gem haven’t already persuaded you, let me add one more! If you’re looking for a place to connect with nature, make wonderful memories, fantastic new friendships, feel like you’re right at home and want a place to return year after year- black barn farm is it! 30 mins after checking in at #4 and having the most warm welcome we immediately booked another 3 days in the fall. Between farm fresh eggs, the relaxing cabin breeze, paper lanterns, seashell painting, and Jennifer and John absolutely spoiling my kids and loving them as their own - it was the PERFECT memorial weekend get-a-way! The large cabin being built in the back is going to be AMAZING! perfect for those who want to have a bit of privacy and want space to spread out. Can’t wait to see the progress in 3 months!!

NEWPORT hidden gem!

Absolutely amazing spontaneous weekend spent here!! Aunt.Jen(as we adopted to calling her ;) ) is such an attentive & welcoming host! Her space is so calming, a step back into nature and making you feel like a kid again. Special highlights to the SPRING FED POND!!! We had so much fun zip-line diving , tube-napping , and everything in-between :) We cooked so many delicious meals over an open fire and a charcoal stove! (aunt.jen even picked up some charcoal for us when she headed into town to save us a trip !) The cabin was well stocked with all the essentials we needed to make the most of our stay, and if you lacked something , aunt.jen either had it or knew where you could find it! The other campers added a fun mix to each day , with lots of diversity & stories to occasionally share , this campsite allowed visitors both privacy for relaxing and getting back to nature, while simultaneously creating a community and vibrant atmosphere full of adventure. Cannot say enough about the ADORABLE animals on site , from ducks & swans , to emu, geese, chicken, goats, and dogs .. keeping the list short. Aunt.Jen educated us brilliantly on all the animals , allowing us to step into everyday life w/ livestock (the fun parts ;) ) and we even got to see the baby goslings first bath and time spend outside ! such a treat! In total we cannot say enough great things about this camp and can’t wait to return again soon to see aunt.jen and the farm!

Epitome of genuine hospitality

Jennifer and her family have the kindest souls. They made us feel right at home and treated us like we were family. The property is beautiful and filled with fun adventures such as swimming, zip lining, kayaks, and an abundance of sweet animals. Jennifer consistently ensured we had everything we needed and more. She gifted us with thoughtful surprises such as our favorite drink we casually mentioned in conversation. They were even so kind to share some tasty food including a Boston butt and stuffed peppers.
