Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

Beautiful location, the stars are great at night, rockhounders delight. Plenty of tent camping spots, friendly staff and they are working on putting in improved RV sites.

4 nights at The Magic Land Homestead

We had an incredible time! The treehouse is truly remarkable and unique. Laura Lynne was an incredible host and we truly enjoyed every aspect. We look forward to a return visit

1 night at Such and Such Farm Swimming Hole

Cool Place! We camped right by the water. You could hear the water running over the rocks all night. Very secluded and peaceful. We will be coming back to camp and swim in the summer!

Weekend Trip to McCully Heritage Project

Great site. Easy to get to. Showers and bathrooms great.

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

This is not your stereotypical camp ground. Yes it is a working farm with animals but it stands out in a good way. They are extremely responsive, accommodating and kind. Elizabeth and Mark both when out of their way to make it a special first camping trip for us. They were patient and friendly with my 8 year old who was super excited and interested in the rocks on site. We had farm fresh eggs brought to our site upon request and Mark went out of his way on multiple occasions to help use with set up and to make it a great time for our kiddo. The dogs are free roaming sometimes but we’re not aggressive, just curious and friendly. The sites are a work in progress but they are pull thought and have water and electric hookup. You can tell they’re always trying to make improvements. The view was amazing and the site was clean and quiet (except the over exited Mule who hilariously would express his excitement occasionally :) ) We will be back.

3 nights at Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

We had a wonderful experience at Hawk's Bluff! The host, Elizabeth, went above and beyond in every single way and we appreciated her kindness so much! It is a rockhounding paradise and I had 18 gallons in less than 4 total hours of looking and within a 1/2 mile radius of my campsite! I can't imagine what all could be found on the whole 400+ acres! The campsite was clean and had a shady pad for the tent, and fire ring and even firewood alr3ady cut and piled up nearby! Bathrooms are composting outhouses that were well maintained. A full size stove and grill were available for use. Everything about this place was exceptional! And did I mention the rocks!!?? Most beautiful specimens I now own in my collection. I plan to come back many, many times! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Happy Trails Farm Resort

We‘ve enjoyed our brief stay at Happy Trails. Very calm and big area. The sweetest animals. Would recommend going there.

Weekend Trip to McCully Heritage Project

Excellent facilities, heated bathrooms with hot water showers available during December which is always appreciated. Campgrounds are quiet and private but is situated next to a road so there was the occasional traffic noise.

4 nights at Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

Beautiful, serene, very quiet,easy access. Tons of easy rock picking. Was able to bring our quad. I have trouble walking this made it great. Will go back again. AAA+++

Weekend Trip to Hagood Farms and Trails

Communication was great. Hospitality was wonderful! Location was convenient for our needs. We will definitely be back again!

2 nights at McCully Heritage Project

Beautiful location. It was pretty cold and we were the only folks out there but they made sure they kept the firewood stocked for us. The fishing was fun as well! We already plan on returning sometime in the Spring.

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

Second time here and it was great again 🙂 A little rainy but we still had a great time walking around

1 night at Earth, Wind & Solar Farm

It's great to have a quiet place when I'm in town. I'm grateful for Kirks hospitality.

1 night at Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

We travel in a class B camper. The views were beautiful as promised. It was fun to wake up and see farm animals. Easy to pull in and drive back out again! Elizabeth is an excellent host!

Weekend Trip to McCully Heritage Project

This was my fourth time camping at McCully. It was beautiful as always. The bathrooms were clean. The firewood is neatly stacked in cartable sacks. It was a very serene visit.

Weekend Trip to Hawks Bluff Farm Campground

Great place to glamp! Mark and Kylan were very friendly & welcoming. Goats, mules & dogs were on property. So fun

Weekend Trip to Such and Such Farm Swimming Hole

The camping sites, the farm and animals, the private pond to fish and the swimming hole were beautiful. The only thing that wasn’t mentioned was that we could hear the traffic from the highway at night and it was pretty loud. I will recommend others to camp here! Thanks again!
