Camp Winnie at the Sanctuary Pond Looking for a peaceful place to unplug, unwind, and wake up to the sound of frogs, birds, and maybe even the distant baa of a rescued sheep? Welcome to Camp Winnie at the Sanctuary Pond, a one-of-a-kind campsite tucked away on our working animal rescue and sanctuary. Located on the back edge of our property, your campsite is nestled near a serene pond and surrounded by woods, wide skies, and the calming energy of animals living their best second-chance lives. Accessible by a short trail (you’ll feel like you’re discovering a secret spot), the site is private, quiet, and ideal for tent camping or small camper setups. While the campsite is separate from the sanctuary area to ensure animal comfort and privacy, guests are welcome to visit with the animals during designated times—if we're around to help guide and supervise. Come say hello to our friendly pigs, sheep, goats, and the occasional chatty chicken. Every animal here has a rescue story, and we love to share them. We’re a small, family-run sanctuary, so things are rustic but full of love. You’ll have a picnic table and lots of stars overhead. We ask that guests be respectful of the animals, our land, and the peaceful vibe we work hard to cultivate here. Whether you're here to camp, connect with nature, or meet some very special animal residents, we can't wait to welcome you to Camp Winnie.

Located on family land granted by King Charles in 1685 we have worked hard to restore and refurbish in a sustainable way, using the trees and supplies from the land that they sit on. Hand crafting doors and furniture the way the family did it 140 plus years ago. The history of this place is deep, even the nails for the cabin and farm house that is now the clubhouse were hand crafted by my great grandfather in his blacksmith shop, along with the wagon wheels, horse shoes, misc farm utensils etc... there was no running out to Lowes to pick up what was needed, it was made in the blacksmith shop. We love riding ATV's and SXS's on the trails on the mountains that I grew up on with my 3 brothers, we hope the people who visit and experience the mountains feel about them the way we do, we love em. We like to give riding tours and talking about the mountain and its challenges. We named the park from the famous product that was created here during prohibition, Cherry Bounce Moonshine. You can visit some of the original still sites on the mountain, of course they are not operational today. About the adventure co side, We are an adrenaline pumping ATV and SXS park with 25+ miles of mountainous trails at four skill levels; Green (Easy), Blue (Challenging), Black Diamond (Very Difficult) and Double Black Diamond (Most Difficult). You can bring your own ATV or SXS or rent one of ours. We have cabins & camp sites that are accessed by ATV or SXS on the mountains as well as hiking or biking. We do not allow jeeps, trucks or dirt bike motorcycles on the mountain, just ATV's and SXS vehicles.

Weekend Trip to Moon Glow Haven

Amazing hosts! We booked during an event they had on their property. I didn't k ow it was possible to have that much fun and wake up the next morning feeling 1000%. These hosts really care about their guests. Yes, we are repeats, but there is a reason for that. As a woman camping, I know I am safe! So whenever I camp here, i can really, truly, relax. Kelly is the best!
