Update on Fire ban: I spoke with the forest ranger of Yadkin County, and You ARE allowed SMALL campfires for cooking and heating purposes only. No bonfires. Charcoal and propane grills are OK too.
Please respect our land by not bringing firewood from off-site and burning it here. We are a working farm that allows camping, not a campground. Our native trees and crops could easily be devastated by outside diseases or pests that are carried in firewood. We offer firewood for sale from our farm (delivered to your site for no additional fee). You do NOT have to purchase it prior to your arrival, and we have large tubs too!
Our STORE offers firewood, meats, eggs, Tallow, lard (both rendered right here!), drinks, Amish ice cream and jams/jellies/preserves, hammocks, hammock chairs, smoked dog bones, soaps (made right here), rentals of: cast iron cookware, a tent, Coleman stove, fishing poles, ... and MUCH MORE!
Please note that all our sites are reserved with a one vehicle limit. Some sites are large enough to accommodate additional vehicles but each additional vehicle will incur a $10 per night charge. Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store.
Looking for a camping experience with a little luxury to boot? Look no further than our Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms! You can drive right up to most sites, weather permitting. You will have access to a fire ring and picnic table (located at each site), firewood for sale on site (please do not bring firewood from off-site), clean well water (located near the pond), the creek to explore, our stocked pond to fish, and wooded trails to hike. Once roamed by Native Americans and now farmed by the same family for over 6 generations, Harmon Creek Farm is a working farm of over 160 acres. Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣
Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and llamas are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well. Like us on Facebook (Harmon Creek Farms of NC)

Welcome to our little slice of creekside heaven!
Four years ago, we took a run-down manufactured home park and started turning it into something special — a peaceful, down-to-earth spot for campers to relax, explore, and feel right at home. It's been a total labor of love, and now we’re excited to share it with folks who appreciate the beauty of nature, good company, and a few chickens wandering by. At night, things slow down — our campground is quiet, peaceful, and perfect for stargazing.
We’ve got:
3 creekside RV sites with water + electric hookups
1 creekside RV site with full hookups (water, electric, and septic)
4 first-come, first-served creekside tent spots
A 38' luxury RV available to rent for a comfy glamping stay
All sites are right along Conleys Creek, which is stocked with trout and perfect for fishing or cooling off in the summer. Every spot includes a picnic table and fire pit — and tent sites come with a fire pit that includes a cooking grate for easy campfire meals.
Our land is totally pesticide-free and full of life — from colorful flower gardens to veggies, herbs, fruit trees, and our famous 14 free-range chickens (a.k.a. The Dixie Chicks). Guests love feeding them, petting them, and collecting fresh eggs.
You’ll also find:
A clean, private bathhouse
A game room with ping pong + darts
Outdoor yard games
Fast, reliable Wi-Fi
Firewood, eggs, and ice for sale
A dump station for RVs
We’re in a super convenient spot — nestled between Bryson City and Cherokee, just a short drive from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Dillsboro, Sylva, and tons of hiking, biking, kayaking, tubing, and whitewater adventures.
We’re open year-round, but if you come during leaf peeping season, you’re in for a real treat — the colors are absolutely magical.
Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome too — we get it, they’re family!
This is our home, our lifestyle, and our dream. We’d love to have you come enjoy it with us.

What a magical spot this property offers! I feel full of gratitude for all of the moments we enjoyed: visiting the animals and noticing the tiny piglets scurrying after their mama, taking the long walk to put in tubes at the top of the property and enjoying the gorgeous meadow, relaxing into the slow and steady water - a welcome relief from some serious heat this week, walking up the hill to see the sky change color in the evening, and returning to waves of fireflies twinkling over the grass and up in the trees, mimicked by the occasional shooting star.
The mist in the morning is other worldly.
Worries I had (how far will the porta john be?), will there be enough shade, how many mosquitoes will we smack…. Turned out to not to be issues at all. Catherine gave us a great welcome. Camp neighbors are spread out and kind.
Cows bathe in the water on the far side of the river - a fun sight each morning from this spot. Entry to the water from the shooting shed site is a bit mucky, and there is still debris in the river: wear solid water shoes and it’s fine. Tubing upstream a bit felt less worrisome re cows, and if water play is our goal, I’d book rocks or rapids next time. And there will be a next time!
Shooting shed site has perfect trees for hammocks and a fantastic location for fireflies, lawn games, and cover for your kitchen! Also a great location for viewing the pigs.
We can’t wait to return, with friends!

Tent camping at Troutfall was a true reprieve. My family especially appreciated the privacy and quiet, and the shade over so much of the day. The whole farm is so well kept and cared for that we were continually impressed— at one point we needed a stick to move a spider and legitimately could not find one on the ground for several minutes. Their pig pens didn’t even smell. And the firefly show every evening was incredible! We will be back.

We booked both Big Ian and this spot in the river so we could have the views from the top as well as river access for the very hot days we were there. It’s so peaceful along the river! We caught a couple rainbow trout for dinner and enjoyed cooling off riverside. Andrew is a phenomenal host (this was my 3rd visit) and we will 100% be back for more.

Second time to Big Ian, third time to Lil Snowbird and if it was possible to love it more, I do. Booked a site on the river also because it was due to be in the 90s the whole visit and that was the perfect way to enjoy the view from the top and cool off and catch some trout at the bottom. Andrew is the best host around and I’m so grateful to have found this place years ago. Already talking about our next visit. Thank you!!!
We love that there’s no cell service. It’s nice to truly disconnect from the world in such a gorgeous place. The views are unbeatable. Cooking all our food on the open flame is awesome. Andrew’s fire pits are perfect. We are also grateful for the composting privy. A brilliant addition that gives a bit of glamp while still being completely primitive.
