I was with a small group. We booked several sites and had the whole camp for our group. We had a great time. We gathered around the campfire to share stories and beverages. My tent vestibule faced the water. It was wonderful view to wake up to.
Lillington was a short drive to pick up supplies and eat at a diner.
Host Sean was friendly and came to visit and share his story.
Our group will probably make this and annual destination.

Weekend Trip to JE Eutopia
I had an amazing stay here and would absolutely come back. This glamping cabin truly had everything you could need for a comfortable getaway generator, fan, lighting, heated blankets, a camp stove, and a great fire pit for relaxing in the evenings. One of my favorite touches was the lovely private bathroom, which made the whole experience feel like the perfect mix of camping and comfort.
As a single woman traveling alone, I also want to mention that I felt very safe and comfortable in the space the entire time, which made the weekend even more relaxing.
The location was perfect. It’s about 30 minutes from Durham, where I went to a comedy show Friday night, and close to beautiful hiking at Eno River State Park on Saturday. It ended up being exactly the peaceful getaway I needed.
It was a beautiful March weekend, and this spot was the perfect place to unplug, enjoy nature, and recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing glamping escape. 🌿🔥🥾

This place is comfortable, peaceful, and had several flat places to pitch a tent. Mark was very responsive and his directions were clear. One hint - there is a bright street light near the trampoline. It did not bother us but you should know.
All in all we recommend staying here.

We were four families who spent a weekend at Sugar Neck, and honestly, it was such a perfect escape. Having the entire place to ourselves made it feel extra special — it’s an amazing setup for a group getaway.
The tents are beautiful, super comfortable, and the bathrooms are neat, private, and way nicer than you’d expect for glamping. We couldn’t have asked for more. In fact, we loved it so much we’ve already booked another weekend for next week!
The host was excellent at communicating and made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Sugar Neck for anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, group-friendly glamping spot.

Cory is awesome and it was lovely camping among all the various animals. The camp itself was rustic and not fancy, and that suits me just fine! Had a lovely time. Will definitely go back if I'm in the area again.

Excellent spot away from the city but not to far out of the way. Right on the water side made for excellent mornings sitting around the fire enjoying coffee and enjoying the view. The host was exceptional with everything from first meet and great to departure. If you want a quite relaxing weekend away I would highly recommend this spot.

Peace and quiet place to relax and fish for shiners.
Plenty of firewood if you have a chainsaw. Plenty of flat ground for 10x10 tent. Shaded by the lake and sunny by the field.

Cory's place is such a unique and fun spot. I took my 3 young kids here to enjoy the animals (second time) and it doesn't disappoint. They saw animals they've never seen in each life, and the campsite is set back just far enough that it feels private, but is close to the animals and restroom. We had a great time!
