Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

My son and I had a great time. Wonderful hospitality, giant swing, hammocks, farm animals and a beautiful spot under the trees and stars.

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Such a lovely spot! Bekah was a wonderful host. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Wonderful property and hosts. Perfect for unplugging and relaxing, great walking trails and very dog friendly!

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

This place is amazing! The property is beautiful, Natalie and Darrell are the best hosts. They did this Hipcamp right! We've been to 6 other Hipcamps and The Dancing Pig is, by far, our favorite!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We had another great weekend at the meadow. The grandkids fished and play all day and enjoyed their s'mores at night around the campfire. The site includes the use of the campers cabin with a bathroom and sink along with the outdoor shower. Those extra comforts make it a special place to enjoy the camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

The place looked great as always. Nicely trimmed around the camp spots and plenty of room to relax. Great privacy for my dog off leash. He doesn’t go far but he loves the open fields and the creek.

Weekend Trip to Kohler Farms-A Shire Horse...

It was such a cute area! The dogs were such a fun bonus

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Private, quiet and amazing atmosphere. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and assisted when and if needed. Onsite power (30 or 50 AMP) was great and onsite water, private shower was an amazing touch. Great experience would stay again. Monroe’s from Alaska.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Super beautiful place, private and has pond and bathroom. Well maintained!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite (including the port-a-potty). Beautiful, peaceful, private setting right on the water with a little waterfall nearby. Easy fishing access. Quite magical. Wish we had been able to stay more than one night. Tip: make sure to pack up your food because raccoons may come looking for a treat in the night! We accidentally donated some homemade sourdough bread to their cause. Hopefully they enjoyed it. :)

Weekend Trip to The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

Great place to stay, nice hosts, more than adequate amenities included

3 nights at The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

My mother, sister and niece (7 yrs old) absolutely loved this place for my nieces first camping trip. They have gone above and beyond to make a beautiful place to stay and to make you feel right at home. I suggest using the wood, charcoal and ice they provide at a low cost. It just makes easier for yourself and they will deliver it right to you. We loved it so much we already booked the cabin for fall camping in October. We cannot wait to escape the heat of the coast in early October and enjoy the fall at The Dancing Pig.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Man! What an incredible experience. The site was well cared for and next to the River. Mike was tidally awesome. The fishin’ was good. Can’t recommend this camp enough!

Weekend Trip to Kohler Farms-A Shire Horse...

The shire horses and creek to play in were a treat for the kids. Our group enjoyed the location and plan to return, hopefully when the assortment of Hostas are blooming. The Hipcamp description was accurate. Although it is near the highway and hosts residence where you can hear a truck every once an a while, the site is quite secluded. Nice flat open mowed grassy field for camping.

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

We rented 'The Whole Enchilada' for 7 families with kids ranging from 4 to 7 years of age. It was the perfect way to initiate them to tent camping and they all loved it. We can't wait to go back. Wes and Kaitlin are superb hosts, very responsive and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

I really enjoyed my time at the lower creek spot! Was peaceful and relaxing I had fun fishing the creek even tho I got several bites I didn’t pull any thing in And I will definitely be coming back.

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

The accomodations were excellent! You would not find a hotel as well appointed as this site, and it still would not contain the ambiance nor character of the setting. I will definitely be staying at Sugarneck again!

1 night at Private meadow and pond

Phillip's property was absolutely perfect! Great shade throughout the day, but plenty of sun around too for solar or warming up after a chilly night. The most private/peaceful hipcamp on my journey this spring. The outdoor shower was perfect with plenty of hot water. The small bathhouse was so nice, with fridge and freezer space if needed as well. (Every hipcamp should offer this to travelers!!) I slept soundly after watching fireflies dance around the pond and listening to the frog symphony. I absolutely hope to stay again sometime!!

1 night at Honah Lee Farms

By far my favorite stop on my road trip! I absolutely want to visit again. Due to my own misunderstanding while booking, Mike was nice enough to offer a quieter creekside spot for my pup and I since I have booked a spot along the trail. I did take the opportunity to bathe in the creek and it was magical! Possibly because it had been 5 days since my last shower, but the views couldn’t be better!

The Dancing Pig On Abbotts Creek

A small homestead on the bank of Abbotts Creek near where it feeds into High Rock Lake. Peace and solitude , but close to the amenities of town. Less than a five minute drive to the grocery store, and less than a fifteen minute drive to uptown Lexington. Public access for kayaks is less than half a mile away. And the view is unbelievable! We have a corn hole board and bags now available for use, as well as a few other yard games. Please let us know if you are interested in using them.

Honah Lee Farms

(Notice - Our driveway was damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene. We have been working to make repairs. For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. - Brian) Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm. Lee's favorite song and the inspiration behind our name is "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary. A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm. The camping options are flexible, ranging from prepared campsites along both Little and Deep creeks with composting outhouses nearby, to "Camper's Choice" options where you may hike in or drive in and create your own camping experience. Please note that since the "Camper's Choice" options allow freedom to select hike-in or drive-in options, the exact distance to nearest outhouse may vary. There are 144 acres to explore so campers can set up a secluded getaway or cluster together in a group. We are flexible and can work with you to create a camping experience that suits your needs. Learn more about this land: Honah Lee Farms has over 140 acres of woods with open fields distributed throughout. We are bordered to the south by the Flat River, to the west by Deep Creek, and to the north by Little Creek. Most of our campsites are nestled in the trees along one of these bodies of water and all campers have access to the 10 foot waterfall area where Deep Creek runs into the Flat River.
