Bear Creek Tee-Pee Retreat

5 sites · Lodging, Tents10 acres · Mocksville, NC
Bear Creek Tee-Pee Retreat is a small slice of paradise in Mocksville NC. We are the last property at the end of a dirt road surrounded by woods on all sides. We built this space as our little stay-cation spot and knew we had to share it. We are passionate about what we do and work hard to continue to build and grow and share this beautiful space for others to enjoy. We have 3 primitive sites and 2 authentic tee-pees. There is a bath house with a heated shower, and a port-a-john that is cleaned regularly. There are 2 picnic areas with charcoal grills. We have a 24x16 enclosed stage that can be used for bands, educational classes, karaoke, yoga... ect. There is also an outdoor movie theater that is available to rent for an evening. There are a few restaurants close by and we are only 6 miles from downtown Mocksville. There are a lot of wineries and breweries within a 30 min drive from our property. We are about 15 minutes from river access to the Yadkin river for anyone looking to Kayak. There are lots of local fishing holes and places to go horseback riding. We are about an hour drive to lots of different hiking trails from pilot mountain, and hanging rock to the blue ridge parkway. We have 2 dogs that live here and will greet you at the gate. Please be respectful of the neighbors and drive slowly down the dirt road to our property to limit dust. We look forward to hosting your camping get away.

SólGaia... An Oasis of Love & Peace

15 sites · Lodging, Tents40 acres · Green Mountain, NC
In the chaos of this world.... an oasis of Peace exists. SólGaia is Calling. Come... Pause... Align. Open Your Heart to Unconditional Love. Restore and revitalize all aspects of your being. The Peace you've been longing for is here. Nestled on 40 pristine acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, SólGaia offers an opportunity to step away from the densities of our world. We share this extraordinary land with the Blue Heart Animal Sanctuary, a For-Service, 501 (c)3 animal rescue organization that cares for both "farm" and companion animals. Surrounded by a dense forest, SólGaia features 2 koi ponds, mountain streams, massive moss covered rocks, quartz and mica. Even those not in tune with subtle energies, can feel the high vibration frequencies that have been cultivated here. We support ecologically sound practices as stewards of this sacred Cherokee land and conservation of wildlife; believing that the Earth and ALL life are interrelated, and that reverence and respect for ALL life is imperative for World Peace. Ahimsa, the highest form of Universal Love and Compassion is an unconditional sense of belonging and connection to everyone and everything. Aligned with this philosophy, we follow and recommend Dr. Will Tuttle's "World Peace Diet." Our ultimate intention is to Be the beacons of Love we are and join together co-creating Heaven on Earth. May Peace and Love Prevail.
