Weekend Trip to 3 Springs Camping

This was a last minute tent camping trip. We didn't have to drive far to enjoy the country and close if we forgot something..and which we did. The babbling of the creeks were nice. Land was level. Loved the animals ❤. It was a great short trip! Brandon was very helpful and answered all of our questions.

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Love tanglewood creekside campsites! I have stayed there a couple times and absolutely love it. It's a great place to relax and unwind, and absolutely beautiful! The owners are so kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend.

Blair’s piece of land is a piece of heaven. Everything is so clean and clearly cared for. I stayed in a safari tent solo and felt safe. I’ve been camping in many places all over the country and this is in my top favorites. I will say if you are looking for true seclusion, you’d be able to see other campers (if they’re there) and once in a while you can hear a car go by. But it’s quiet and peaceful and for me, someone who loves being “off grid”, it was wonderful. If I’m ever back in the area I will absolutely 100% return! Thank you Blair for everything.

Falling asleep to the sound of the creek was so relaxing. The light pollution is very minimal so you can see so many stars and the planets! The creekside safari tent is always perfect and the daffodils are so pretty! Can’t wait to get back!

We loved our stay at the Little Cabin! My boys loved playing in the creek and exploring the property. They have done so much work after Helene and it’s looking great! Very close to gem mining and we enjoyed hiking to Tom’s Creek Falls. Blair was very helpful and accommodating. My husband had to work at the Starlink worked perfectly from the cabin. Looking forward to coming back for tent camping! Thank you!

Always a great experience. My first time in the cabin and it was clean and comfortable. The grounds are great and of course the creek was beautiful.

3 nights at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

This property and safari tent was absolutely perfect for our family and dogs! For starters the property is so perfect. Plenty of trails so we never had to leave to find adventure. It has a lovely stream that runs through it that the kids had a blast playing in (even in February). The tent provided the essentials for us to glamp and the owner was always just a message away. Lastly, it is situated nicely between local attractions so if you want to adventure around it doesn’t take up your whole day. 10/10 recommend!

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

This place is amazing. I was there in the off season (7-9 feb) and I was completely alone. AMAZING. The camp sites aren't on top of each other. Perfect. Ive paid much less for sites with shower facility and restrooms but the privacy is worth the extra $. The big hiking trails are about an hour away which is annoying when I drove over 3 hours to get there but the drive was worth the privacy. Had trouble finding it after dark. Partly my fault bit there isn't any real markings to let you know you're there. I wish there was a place to take my trash when I left, but all of these are small issues compared to the beauty of the property and the space between each site. Creek is so nice!!! Port a jon was CLEAN (THANK YOU)!!! Ill be back.

I love this place! Always clean and maintained. The creek is so clear and the gentle sound is the perfect lullaby. I have started doing more solo camping and hiking, and I like that the grounds are gated My go to spot for relaxing time out

Weekend Trip to TangleWood Creekside Campsites

My dog and I stayed here for a quick night, and it was fantastic. Such a great spot. The Safari Tent is a nice setup, and there were even pillows to use. I just put down my sleeping bag and slept great. 10/10

This site was really lovely. The creek was easy to explore and you could see a decent amount of stars. Blair was very easy to communicate with and we had a great time!

Wildlife enthusiasts are encouraged to explore, on foot or mountain-bike, anywhere within our 170 acres (or the adjoining 250 acres owned by the US Forestry Service off our Western border) and are likely to catch glimpses of turkey, beaver, deer, fox, eastern box turtle and the many species of songbird and raptor.

Green Toe Ground

3 sites · Tents16 acres · Burnsville, NC

Our farm is named for its site on the South Toe river and this pristine and mighty river indeed showed us their power during Hurricane Helene. At this time, we will be closed for an indeterminate amount of time. The farm was completely flooded by Hurricane Helene September 27th, 2024. All the greenhouses, barns, and fields were impacted and destroyed. We hope to rebuild and open again some day, but the river is completely different and the riparian camping area is now a 30 foot wall of trees at this time. We have had such fond memories of all the people who have camped with us and grown to love our place as well. We thank you for all your love and energy. Make a donation on Go Fund Me, Green Toe Ground. Just search on that page. Thank you and hope to see you again maybe later in 2025.
