STATUS of OT DOT CAMP JULY 2026
Welcome!
Ever view the counties of firewoods from above? July 3rd is surprisingly “lit up” as folks test their fireworks.
Wild Blackberries are ripening everywhere too!
Fireflies are kicking off! Milk weed and butterfly attractants are in full bloom now on the mountain.
Our farm is vast and sparse,
focusing on sustainability while giving back to the community. We are a safe haven for animals and humans alike.
Situated on and between two peaks of Little Phoenix Mountain range in Jefferson Ashe County. Our sites’ altitudes range from 3100 feet to over 3600 feet, which is a lot of slope and hillside to say the least. As a guest you will be offered insane long views and wildflowers galore. Located in the Blue Ridge mountains, we have natural water springs popping out, some of which are tapped to drink from. (10.1.25 currently farm springs are not accessible to guests, shatley springs up the road approx 4miles north has a public spring that we highly recommend)
If you are looking for a camping spot that is only 5-10 minutes from town (Jefferson NC or the quaint Downtown West Jefferson) but feels like you're in the middle of no where, then we have it!
The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 20 minutes away and the New River equally close.

The climb up sunrise mountain is bumpy, be warned, and do adhere to the conversation and guidance of the host on the call or in person meeting preclimb. Even though the section titled “the climb” is passed each and every visit by capable awdr and 4wdr vehicles, this does not mean everyone is capable of picking a thought out path. Thankfully everyone of our guest have been wonderful in the over 8 years with zero damage to their vehicles. MSG for more info.
*firewood is available if you pay on site you will have to use Venmo/Paypal
*We do not allow any harvesting of campfire wood or burning of our property outside of the designated fire ring. We use any downed wood on our property for our family to keep warm and to cut and split ourselves to sell to our guest. A “full nights worth” of campfire wood is roughly a 3 x 2 stacked pile of wood keeping you warm all night. Please let us know ahead so we can prepare it for you

Spruce Pine, NC · 9 sites · Tents, RVs
Get away from the crowds. On 300 beautiful acres once operated as a children's summer adventure camp.. There are 3 primitive campsites, 2 cottages, and a horse sanctuary. The campsites are spaced out around the property for privacy. There are port-a-potties. There may occasionally be a real bathroom available.
4WD or AWD is recommended for all sites due to 1/2 mile gravel road and then completely off road for a short distance. Or, if you are bringing 2WD, there is plenty of parking and then walk to your campsite. We don't recommend trying to bring large RV's due to the access.
We have not had a problem with Black Bears on the property. Help us keep it that way. Do not store or keep food in your tent. Don't sleep with food. Keep in mind bears are omnivores much like us. They eat mostly plants but also eat meat. For more info on bear safety, visit www.bearwise.org
Winter camping is encouraged with free firewood. However, you will probably need to park on the gravel and walk to your campsite to limit soil erosion of the off-road trail.
Pets are welcome only at some sites, but please please let us know you are bringing them and they will need to be leashed due to other animals.
A large part of the property is forest with hiking trails, creeks, and wildlife. You can see wildflowers and lightning bugs in season along with deer, turkey, and horses.
And all of our spots have a great view of the sky! We're not far from the Bare Dark Sky Observatory.
The grass horse arena and the pond were originally built for the summer camp. The pond is stocked with bass and bluegill and has a chorus of bullfrogs in summer. The arena is flat and has a long range mountain view all the way to Mt. Mitchell (highest peak east of the Mississippi). There are also a meadow spot encircled by trees.

Welcome to Little Farm - Swannanoa!
Hi! We are Kiera and Mary Bulan, and we run a community flower, vegetable, and herb farm in Swannanoa, NC.
Our 6+ acre property is nestled in a fertile river valley along the Swannanoa River, offering rich habitats for nature lovers and ecological explorers. Women-, queer-, and BIPOC-owned—all friends, new and old, are welcome!
Campsites:
You'll be staying on a vibrant working farm with your choice of campsite—under shade trees by the river, near a turtle pond, or out in a sunny meadow.
Life on the Farm:
In our 2-acre production field, you're welcome to wander through carefully tended rows of flowers, vegetables, and herbs. We follow organic practices and regenerative, no-till methods and are eager to share our knowledge with fellow enthusiastic growers. A ½-acre native pollinator planting attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial creatures all season long. Enjoy the mist on the mountains as you sip your morning tea surrounded by blooming snapdragons, marigolds, and cosmos.
Wildlife and Nature:
Search for frog eggs and baby ducks among the cattails in the swamp.
Differentiate dozens of bird species along forest paths. Scan the river for kingfishers and spawning bass. Cast a line for catfish in the pond (just be alert for turtles!).
Our Story:
We've been growing here since 2021 on a rented acre. After the property was heavily impacted by Hurricane Helene, we took a leap of faith and officially purchased the parcel in early 2026.
Today, visitors can witness the inspiring, resilient restoration efforts of both humans and nature at work—live stakes, riparian plantings, abundant birdlife, and flourishing new growth!
Bear Safety and Location:
We live in Black Bear country, and require responsible behavior from our guests. Keep all food locked in your vehicle or bear-safe container. Never feed or approach a bear. Detailed tips on bear safety from the National Park Service provided prior to arrival.
Our location offers convenient access to Swannanoa, Black Mountain, and Asheville.

(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. Also, we are totally off-grid, which means we do not have RV hook-ups or empty stations. Thank you for your understanding. - 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.

We had an awesome stay here with Brady. Everything was exactly as advertised. Site 9 was absolutely breathtaking. The sunsets and sunrises were unreal. Also seems to be a hawk living nearby as it would soar over our campsite each morning and then glide out over the valley. Absolutely awesome.
Brady was so great. We really enjoyed getting to meet and chat with him. Super friendly and helpful. Made sure we were settled in well and got us a great map to navigate the area - hikes, lakes, etc.
The location is gorgeous. Very remote, which is what we were looking for. But close to the Cherohala Skyway, Joyce Kilmer, Lake Santeetlah and of course fishing right on snowbird creek.
We couldn't recommend the place enough and plan to come back as soon as we're able.
Thanks for a great stay, Brady!

Absolutely beautiful site! Completely out of the way, like almost 4 miles of gravel road, which was exactly what I needed with my 2 dogs. Never saw another person but I felt very safe. The site was inviting and well maintained. Having a broom was a plus! Sleeping under the stars and listening to the roar of the water made the trip well worth it.

3 nights at Mountain Creek Rest
Great spot, the cabin is larger than it looks in the pictures. My boys (2 & 4) loved riding their bikes up & down the roads and playing in the creek. Would stay here again.

We absolutely loved heartstone! The gravel road is a bit long and you need to go very slow because it is quite bumpy, but nothing my Subaru couldn’t handle! The setting is extremely peaceful and remote, with the canopy forest providing a ton of shade and keeping it cool even in mid August! I’ve never been somewhere so beautiful and restorative. We can’t wait to come back!
Thanks for sharing your land with us Brian :)

4 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat
My first experience on Hipcamp couldn’t have gone any better! Evan was an amazing host. Gnomes Yurt was everything my wife and I wanted. The backdeck has an amazing view of the local foliage and the mountains. Outdoor shower was lite and refreshing. The .1 mile walk to the local waterfall was the icing on the cake. This was our first wedding anniversary and it was perfect in every aspect.

It was definitely worth the 2 hour drive. Plenty of firewood to burn, even got a restock closer to nighttime. The site is very clean, and having a fire night going while the sun is setting creates an amazing ambiance. Will definitely be coming back soon!

We always have the absolute best time here. At this point, coming back feels less like a camping trip and more like returning to our designated reset button. 😂
It was hot this time, so we did what any reasonable adults would do: inflated the dock, grabbed the beverages, got in the water, and basically refused to leave.
Then a rainstorm rolled through.
Did we get out?
Absolutely not.
We were already wet. The sky was just contributing. 😂🌧️🍹
So there we stayed, floating around in the rain like this was completely normal behavior and honestly having the best time.
That’s what we love about this place. We show up, unplug, laugh a lot, spend way too much time in the water, and somehow leave feeling completely refreshed.
Another perfect trip in the books. Already counting down until we can come back. 🏕️🌊❤️

Peaceful, beautiful and perfect. 5G cell service. The trees by the river provided wonderful shade and kept us cool even in this 90 degree humid weather. We saw cows in the river, humming birds not even 15 feet away and even heard the donkeys yelling around 5pm when it was feeding time. The ground by the river was good and flat for our tent with no sticks or rocks to worry about. We can't wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
I absolutely loved this place! Jim and Becky thought of everything. The tent was very well appointed and exactly like the pictures described. It was a wonderful solo travel experience and being close to the lake for early morning paddling was just perfect! Loved it and will definitely return.

4 nights at Destination Outdoors! DO IT!
I really enjoyed staying at this location. It’s quiet and isolated, but close enough to the nearest town to make a 20 minute grocery run. The owner, Matt, is an excellent host. The nearby river is also great for fishing or just hanging out! Can’t recommend this place enough!

2 nights at Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
Absolutely loved my first glamping experience! The Serenity Loft was absolutely beautiful and had everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The stairs were a little tricky at first, but I got used to them. The property itself was gorgeous and so peaceful—it truly felt like a little getaway from the everyday hustle and bustle.
The host was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating, which made the experience even more special. One of my favorite added touches was having a golf cart available to get around the property as needed. It made exploring and enjoying the beautiful surroundings so much easier and more fun!
I would absolutely recommend this experience to all of my family and friends. If you’re looking for a peaceful, beautiful, and memorable getaway, this is definitely the place to stay! I can’t wait to come back!
