All three of the RV/camper spaces have both 30/50 amp electrical power, sewer and water hookup. The tent camping space has toilet facilities, access to water and trash disposal.
The tiny home accommodates 2-3 people - perfect for those who want to be close to their camping friends/families but don’t have campers.
This property was my childhood home and after retiring, my husband and I moved back to one of the homes on this farm where I grew up. He has since passed and my son, Todd, now helps me maintain the property and assists with ensuring the best experience for our guests.
We wanted to offer this space for campers to share the awesome views and this part of North Carolina with others who enjoy nature, outdoors, and all the great things to experience in the surrounding towns. Only a 20 minute drive to Asheville where you can tour Biltmore House, Grove Park, breweries, eat at many great restaurants, enjoy rafting, zip lining and many other outdoor activities. We are 15 minutes from Blue Ridge Parkway with 2-lane, less traveled access road to get there.
Bring your bikes and hiking equipment - plenty of room to ride and roam. The old red barn on property has been restored and offers relaxation loft for your enjoyment.

7.1mi from Bent Creek · 9 sites · Tents, Lodging
The Baying Hound Campground is where rural Appalachia meets “keep Asheville weird.” We've got sleeping pods decorated by professional artists, upcycled building projects, and permaculture experiments in the making. Think “if a European backpacker hostel and an Appalachian campground had a baby.” Not quite glamping and definitely not KOA, we're happy to offer you a more social alternative to cookie-cutter lodging.
*Van-lifers, truck-top-tenters + other vehicle dwellers* Y'all are welcome to book ANY spot! The parking area is SEPARATE from the site pictured and you can NOT drive down to the site. You'll be sleeping in the parking area and still have access to all facilities.
SHARED CAMPGROUND AMENITIES:
- Indoor toilet + sinks
- Indoor hangout area
- Charging station + outlets
- Outdoor sink with cold running water (seasonal = April-October)
- Outdoor shower (seasonal = April-October, CLOSED Nov-March)
- Community fire pit with wood for sale (no fires at your site, pls)
- Charcoal grill (bring your own charcoal) + picnic table
- Wi-Fi with varying quality of internet (but you’re camping, so you should enjoy the outdoors and company of your friends :))
- Nearby Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! Ask us more if you’re interested.
- Mini hiking trails :)
We're about 10-15 minutes' drive away from downtown Asheville and a $12-$15 Uber ride. Unfortunately, public transportation is not very accessible from the campground.
*FAQ: Is this a good spot to bring my kiddos?
Our campground is not equipped to handle the magical, whirlwind force that children release unto the world. There's a lot of breakable stuff, tempting treehouses (that might be occupied by other guests!), sites that are within earshot of each other, and hazards that aren't a good fit for kids.
WHAT'S NEARBY?
- There are approximately a bajillion breweries in Asheville, many of which are within 5-15 minutes away.
- Downtown Asheville (~10-15 minutes), West Asheville (~5-10 minutes) and the River Arts District (~5 minutes)
-Hiking! Waterfalls, mountain-top views, fog-drenched valleys, rambling rivers... There are some trails about 20 minutes away, but to get to the good stuff, you'll drive 40-90+ minutes.
- White water rafting ~60-90 minutes away

Peace and privacy await you on ouWe are still cler farm, pasture and woods, this working herb farm is a haven for rest and exploring. The Sites are situated far enough from each other to allow for privacy. Our land was originally where the Cherokee grew their medicine with Mt. Pisgah looking over us.
Please be aware we are not completely cleared up after Hurricane Helene so we are limiting cars to 2 per site. There is parking about a mile away, or we can fit a 2 cars per site . If this is an issue please contact me to discuss. Also note we look a little different. The campsites are fine but the creek has changed its banks and the driving path moved a little. Please drive slowly on driveway and grounds.
Drones are only allowed on our property and only in daylight hours and must be discussed with us prior.
Our farm is Organic and we minimize the amount of chemicals used on it out of respect to the land. The creek has clean water, although we provide well water for the humans.
Situated 20 minutes from Asheville and 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, we are close to civilization and far from the everyday hustle and bustle.
This is a great place to unwind in nature. We will soon be adding Forest Bathing.
The frogs eat most of the mosquitos and the fireflies will provide the nightly entertainment from May till August.

Sleep under the stars while listening to the river run while staying on a working farm! During the summer months watch our vegetables grow and the pickers pick! The winter months you'll enjoy a sea of green as our cover crop takes over the field.
You can cool off in the river or check out the surrounding Pisgah National Forest. Dogs on leashes are welcome and owner is responsible for cleaning up after pet.
The farm provides a portable toilet but no other amenities. Campfires may be restricted, so check local regulations. This is a working farm, so please be respectful of the crops and workers and keep dogs on leashes. Fishing is NOT allowed on the river unless you have booked a trip with one of our guides. Please note, if it’s rainy the roads will be muddy and 4-wheel-drive vehicles are the best option.
Head 4 miles east to the town of Mills River for restaurants, stores, and services. You can find hiking, biking, and horseback-riding trails within a short bike or car ride in Pisgah National Forest. Chimney Rock State Park is 25 miles east and offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain scenery. Or perhaps go for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Our guests love staying here: "This was our first time using Hipcamp and we couldn’t have been happier! Candace was great at communicating and quick to respond to our questions. Site 1 was perfect. We had so much room for just the two of us and the water access was great for our dogs to swim. Plus it was so quiet, we’ll probably never go back at state park camping! Thanks for everything and look forward to visiting again!"

A unique opportunity for how camping is supposed to be. 20 minutes to West Asheville, under 20 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Halfway down a dead end road tucked right on the edge of sawbranch creek.
Camp sight is just down a small flight of timber stairs. Off the side of the dead end street. Tucked away enough for privacy. Close enough to the car to make unloading easy.
Just minutes from miles and miles of hiking, biking, motorcycling and waterfalls. Less than 1 miles from the future Pisgah View State Park.

Welcome to my peaceful homestead in the valley of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This rustic studio space I affectionately call Chicken Church, has been a labor of love, using all the materials I have collected from my many construction projects over the years... and many states. My friends all know who to pass the junk along to. The space is heated with a wood stove and has an antique 1922 wood cook stove--do you know how to cook on one? The kitchen is set up with a sink, water kettle and cooking amenities, including an electric stove.
Bathroom amenities: cold water sink and toilet. No shower inside, but there is an outdoor shower, propane heated. (NOTE: Heater gets removed at first 32° and won't be available in November.)
The main house on the property is within 200 feet, where I share the space with Airbnb guests. There is a close neighbor family to the left, about 250 feet away. Because my property is in a residential neighborhood, respect for neighbors and other guests is greatly appreciated.
Outside, you’ll feel an instant sense of peace and tranquility surrounded by horses, happy, free ranging chickens, abundant woods, gardens, ponds with some new baby geese chicks soon, open lawns and a fire pit for your restful getaway. I have a pup who monitors the outdoors... and to keep it uncomplicated, i cannot accept other pets.
Asheville is about a 12 minute drive: Known as the craft beer capital in the US, there is no shortage of breweries. You don't have to go very far to find a plethora of trails in this town, including the mountain to sea trail which is easily accessible from this neighborhood. The farm to table scene is amazing... so much good food! Eat! Eat! Eat!

We rented the camper for Mother’s Day weekend just myself and my 11-year-old daughter and we truly could not have had a better time. The farm is tucked away in the beautiful mountains peaceful and secluded yet still close to Asheville (25 min) and Canton (10 min). We arrived and were immediately greeted by friendly goats and the host and instantly felt welcomed and at ease. The camper was cozy and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. We opened the windows to the mountain breeze and settled in. Beds were very comfortable with soft blankets and extra pillows that made it feel like home. We loved the little touches…coffee pot French press toaster Bluetooth speakers firewood and string lights that made evenings feel magical. Nights by the fire were peaceful and sunsets breathtaking. The fireflies were pure magic my daughter said the trees looked like Christmas lights. She fell in love with the animals goats horses donkey and the sweetest puppy right outside our door. She knew every goat’s name by the end. We also enjoyed exploring nearby Canton with Asheville close by. Dani was a wonderful host so kind welcoming and easygoing giving us the perfect balance of hospitality and space. This was one of the most special mother daughter trips we’ve ever had and we’re already hoping to come back. Pretty sure my husband and son are already planning their own trip here next month!

Fantastic spot and great communication with Phil. Privacy tents were clean, grass was moved and there was even a gallon of drinking water at each spot.
If you gonna go to this Hipcamp with a big truck and have a bigger teardrop trailer, it's gonna be tight getting through the narrow road leading to the campsites.
Definitely recommend this awesome spot, and hope you will also have a chance to see the Bald Eagle.
