Weekend Trip to Ancient Spring Farm

This was my second time coming to this wonderful spot. Rebecca does everything right. Last time I came solo and this time I came with my partner and his very anxious little dog. It was the dogs first time camping and they did great. They both loved it as much as I do. Can't wait to come back again.

1 night at Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Wes and Caitlin were incredibly welcoming hosts! Their little country club is such a charming spot—peaceful, cozy, and full of character. We arrived pretty late, but the directions were super clear, and they thoughtfully left the lights on for us, which made settling in a breeze. We had a lovely stay and left feeling totally recharged and ready to hit the road again. Can’t wait to come back for a longer camping trip next time. Thank you both for the hospitality!

These hosts are the best ever! The best hands down hipcamp out there!

3 nights at Honah Lee Farms

We had an amazing stay at Honah Lee Farms - Brian/Mike were very attentive and helpful and made our stay so easy and enjoyable. It was just about 2WD accessible! The driveway/trails in are pretty rocky but we made it in fine. The campsite at Upper Creek was perfect for a family; the creek is ideal for playing and exploring in and seemed super clean. Would absolutely recommend and will probably be back!

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Cove

Very nice camping spot. Very relaxing and a great spot to fish.

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Beautiful last minute find! So glad we had the chance to stay at Saxapahaw Country Club—it’s a little hidden gem in a really cool part of central NC. The site was easy to find for setup. The space was very open and had beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The property is very well set up and maintained. The hammocks hanging between the pines overlooking the pond and the lambs/donkey was my favorite. Their pork is DELICIOUS. We met the owners and they are so sweet, and also very helpful/quick to respond to questions. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful place. Secluded and private. We had a wonderful time and would love to come again and stay longer!

Direction to camp were clear, all the photos gave an accurate image of what we pulled into. The ground was level and easy to park for the High meadow spot where we stayed-easy to pull through. It was nice to have their lights, and also nice that they automatically went off after a certain time as to not keep us up. Loved the handcrafted steel fire pits and wooden chairs-perfect for relaxing without needing to pull out our chairs. Although we didn’t need it, they pointed out where the electric hookup was, and it was nice to have access to water, food prep table, trash cans, and the compostable toilet (simple with no notable smell at all with toilet paper-as well as feminine products as a nice gesture-and easier than having to use our own toilet/pack it in/pack it out). Cool to see them out doing their farm duties…letting us have our privacy while being available to us. They also were so friendly and sweet with our kids-even came over and offered for our children a once in a lifetime chance to bottle feed one of their sweet lambs!!! Farm cats came to visit frequently, which we didn’t mind a bit but just something to be aware of in case you aren’t a fan of cats. Great property to roam, fun tree swing that the kids loved, and amazing to get out and enjoy the sounds of nature and be so accessible to town.

My group went tent camping at the Lower Creek campsite, there was a beautiful creek with a view of cow pasture across the water. At night beavers came out into the water which was so neat to see! Overall, we would definitely camp here again.

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Cove

Absolutely beautiful! I hadn’t been camping in over a decade and this was the perfect welcome back to inspire more.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Third time’s a charm, but so were the first and second times!! This property is an absolute gem - 30 mins from Durham with creeks/rivers, fields, and amazing hosts. We brought our 1 year old Lab camping this time (her first camping trip), and the wide open field was a great resource to have available for energy burn. As always, Mike and Brian were so gracious, and the surrounds were amazing. Just what we needed this weekend - thanks again!!

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

We really enjoyed our stay. The sites are clean and accommodating. The stage site has electric that was clutch seeing as how we were tent camping in the cold and could use our little heater to stay cozy. We made friends with the sweet farm cats and enjoyed seeing the pigs, piglets, sheep and goats. We had a fire every morning. Wes and his partner were very kind and the bathroom extra was so well worth it. Lovely facilities! Will def come back next time we stay in Saxapahaw!

This was my second time staying here and it was as restorative as the first trip. November brought maybe a little more magic, so grateful for the last minute accommodations. The hosts are always really responsive and welcoming.

4 nights at Honah Lee Farms

Went hammock camping again here for the 3rd year. Everything was perfect as always and Mike (Brian's son) was a fantastic host. We will be there again next year.

Great and simple little spot to go tent camping. No real amenities, so need to bring everything but it was quiet and convenient.
