My family and I had a great experience at Sugarneck. Our dogs especially loved exploring the grounds. The tents are the perfect compromise between an authentic camping experience and modern conveniences. We will definitely be planning a return visit.

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.

Group trip
There were multiple really nice spots to set up camp.. We were greeted by James who is one of the property owners. He gave us a tour, introduced us to their horse Dorian, and gave us our choice where to set up. There were fire rings, and plenty of wood to burn around. We really enjoyed our stay, and will be back very soon!

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. 🌿🔥🥾

It felt very private even though there were some others around. For some reason, there were so many bees on the ground. No one got hurt but it would be nice if they can take care of this. Other than that, we really enjoyed overall and will def come back.

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.

The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful and accommodating. We tried to get ahead but ended up stuck through the snow storm. In a panic I made the wrong reservation but without hesitation there was someone on the phone to ensure we safely arrived in the proper slip. Clean restrooms, friendly staff, laundry facilities, accessible trash area and even had a propane filling station. Walmart close by and near a plethora of places to eat…when not snowed in. Definitely recommend. Only advise: to consider not showering while laundry is in use - only due to low pressure and lack of control to fire and ice temperatures 😅 **this is Not a complaint, just to be aware**

The property was so expansive and the Hunter trail was interesting with a little cemetery. Rode mountain bikes close by and visited Lillington and the Cape Fear River. Alicia provided us with extra heaters and lots of blankets since the weather was so chilly

Fantastic campsite close to Raleigh, NC. Mimm’s was great about communicating all of the details and information for a successful quick in and out camp while traveling through the area! Beautiful property with firewood provided and a pristine porta-pot for midnight access to the loo!

Great little camp spot. Came here in January. One side of the road has a beautiful field and great sunsets. It’s close to a lot of great surrounding areas, I highly recommend going into the old downtowns of Fuquay Varina, the Mason Lager Company Brewery was a fantastic place to visit and hang out. I hear their separate restaurant in the downtown is top notch as well. Owners were very nice and helpful.
