Silk Purse Farm RV Camping
10/10 exceptional stay!
The hosts were incredibly kind not to mention the animals were adorable! It was amazing to get to open the door with the animals right in front of us! They would come up to us for some pets and the hosts even let us try to milk the goats! 10/10 recommend!!

Silk Purse Farm
This was fun for the kids because of the animal experience but had some unexpecteds that made it not great for adults.
There is no direction when you arrive. You get to a fence and ???? ….. we let ourselves in but weren’t sure what to do. As you drive up the road it says to find a spot under the trees but the shaded tree areas have 3 campers/trailers already there and look like residents so don’t expect to “camp under trees.”
So since we couldn’t camp there, we literally just guessed we should set up camp in middle of the pasture right off the road. It’s very dry now so expect to get dusty. The horses are kind but again, no direction as to what to do/not do.
There’s a couple structures so finding the bathroom isn’t obvious as there’s no sign. We wandered around, again, not quite sure if we should go or not go. Even though it’s on Hipcamp, you’re on private property so clarity about access is a good idea.
At night, don’t expect quiet as it went from road noise to dogs barking continuously til 1 am, one hr of quiet and then to roosters crowing literally from 2:30 am on. Ha! We slept about 2 hrs.
The host husband was kind. Shower is warm. All in all just expect a very different experience from what you may from pictures may show.

HipCamp Gem!
If you love animals and being part of the farm life …. this place is for you! We loved it - even had full hook ups :)
All the animals - ALL of them - are super friendly and comfortable around people.
Michelle and Rick were terrific hosts and it’s evident all the hard work they put into the place! Enjoyed our farm fresh eggs too!
Loved the goats, mini horses, horses, donkey, sheep, pigs, chickens, rooster, ducks and turkey! Something there for everyone!

Camping on a farm!
We loved staying at the Silk Purse Farm in NC. Camping with goats, chickens, ducks, and more waddling around your site was such an experience. Also, sitting outside and watching the horses in the pasture was pretty cool. When we got there they were having a birthday party for some young kids and they were having a blast and then a huge bonfire. This was out first Hipcamp experience and it was a memorable one!
