Uwharrie Basecamp — NC Tent Camping
Escape to a quiet, shaded camping spot right across from the Eldorado Outpost, nestled in the heart of Uwharrie National Forest. This tranquil basecamp is ideal for adventurers seeking a down-to-earth, no-frills stay just steps away from trails, off-road routes, and forest activities.

The field-based setup avoids dustier forest trails while still placing you close to trailheads and off-road zones.

Learn more about this land:
In this 40 acre track there are 2 hay fields, pasture, and forrest. From any area you camp🏕 the pond🏞, with fish, is in walking distance, so is a beautiful clear stream.
****Did I mention that this stream empties into Lake Tillary, yep, that is right. We are within walking distance to Lake Tillary and less than 5 mins to the boat landing. You may bring your boat and park it here while you camp.
SPECIAL NOTE: There are animals here that you may pet once you have been properly introduced. You may bring your pets as long as they are vaccinated and behaved. If they fight with other animals or chase chickens or ducks you may want to test this upon your arrival. Unfortunately, you must keep them on leash at all times. Our County does have a leash law, and should property🌱🌹🌻🚜🚗📬🗑or animals🦌🐂🐏🐐🐰🦃🦆 be damaged or harmed you will be held responsible. For example, if your dog kills a chicken, you buy the chicken🐓🐔🐥. If they harm a horse🐎 or donkey🐴, you are responsible for ALL vet fees. Also, be aware we have coyotes, osprey, hawks, as any rural area does. Small animals must be suprevised. We are not responsible for acts of nature.
The barn is beautiful and you are welcome to take photos, however, you are NOT permitted in the barn without supervision. Absolutley NO smoking or fire near the barn. It is over 100 years old and built by my great grand family and is irreplaceable.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
As I am just beginning the camp on site experience I offer several options and additional services.
#1. Some find out after arriving that I teach NC Concealed Carry Handgun Classes. If you wish to participate in a class, it is preferred that you register before the day of the class. I will post classes on this site so that campers will know there will be shooting in the late afternoon. Some chose to camp on other weekends, some choose to go out to eat during those times, and some don't mind either way.
#2. I am also much in favor of work for camp site. Some have asked to do clean up or other small jobs for the priviledge to camp. So far this has worked out well, with one exception. Please do not accept an offer to take on a task that you do not know how to do. Example, pulling weeds or trimming if you do not know what a weed verses flower looks like. LOL
#3. There is plenty of firewood, see photos, here laying around and some trees down that will make great firewood (bring your own cutting tools.) We also sell firewood by the bundle.
#4. Being a camper here gives you the privilege of fresh veggies and fruits that are in season, as well as fresh free range eggs.
MAJOR POINT:
You must remember this is a working farm and our duties and responsibilities for the farm come first.
You must abide by the boundaries. *see map* The creek is the back boundary and should never be crossed onto my neighbors. I will not tolerate any disrespect to my neighbors, what so ever.
No! the roosters don't have an off button, neither does the jacka... donkey! When it is hay cutting time, we will cut hay. If you want to hike the property, feel free, know the boundaries and bring a machete to cut your way by the creek/stream in some areas. We have thistle trees and briars, you are welcome to cut all you wish as you go. There are spiders, bugs, and snakes etc. Black snakes, king snakes, runners, and whip snakes belong here and we ask that you do not kill them. Copperheads are here as qell and if you see one, come get me and I will dispatch it for you.

Our farm is a beautiful, private 25 acres with an 1830s house, outbuildings, animals, orchards, gardens, pastures, old trees, wildlife habitat, a spring, and woods. Here you can relax; watch nature; meet our chickens, goats, horse, cats, and dog; take guided tours to learn about the farm, animals, plants, archaeology, and history or learn to make mead; and purchase eggs and homegrown seasonal food and products. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, breweries, shooting, and more.
We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.

We carved our 43 acre horse farm out of wild swampy land in 2007 and finished the barndeminium in 2008. We started with Hipcamp 6 years ago and enjoy meeting new people. My husband is retired from the Air Force and works full time doing the chores. I retired May 2024 from being a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner at Womack Army Medical Center. I have a side hobby making homemade jams, pickles and flavored goat cheese spreads. We love the peacefulness of where we live...although the weather chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, peacocks, goats and horses do get a little loud come feeding time. We have different sites, please read each description or message me before you book a stay. All the sites have an 8pm latest check in unless you've stayed with us before. With the cold snap we have been experiencing the RV water source will freeze up over night. Please message me before booking the RV. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade or make our farm more fun to visit.

Ancient Spring Farm is a beautiful little farm tucked away in the country. You can really tell that Rebecca has put hard work and love into every acre. The animals are playful and lively, and the chickens curious and explorative! Staying under the old shed helped keep the camper cool, and was a real blessing when storms came through! I wasn't able to do any of the farm add-ons during my trip but I'm hoping to stay again soon when I have more time and take a couple classes and tours. Really was a great stay, looking forward to coming back!

Can’t believe more people haven’t stayed here!! So quaint and reserved. Nicest host and such an expansive property with tons of trails, two docks, and hammocks to pass the time. Only two big caveats are the lack of an outhouse and no signal. Otherwise, perfect! Secluded and just the getaway I needed.

I enjoyed the tent camping on the farm. Mr. Robert was great, very kind and helpful. The farm has a really interesting decor. The pond was full of life . I didn't do any real fishing but I did put a line in and got a couple of bites. If you're looking for a place to unplug and relax this is a great place. I would happily go back.

We had a great weekend at Hidden Oasis! The property is easy to find and owners have put in a lot of effort to make it a nice little campground. We enjoyed having a bathroom and warm shower nearby. Also took advantage of the pavilion with the picnic table to eat at. It was nice and quiet as we were fortunate enough to be the only ones there that weekend. There was a bit of poison ivy around the site / area but for the most part the tent grass was free from this. Would definitely stay here again.

My stay at this property was truly wonderful. The space is beautiful and thoughtfully crafted, with so many touches that make it feel special. Sitting on the swing overlooking the tall trees, relaxing in the hammock, and taking a cold outdoor shower made the whole experience feel grounding and restorative. It was the perfect reset during my road trip. Natellie is a fantastic host and communicated clearly throughout my stay.

We loved camping there, the woods by the creek was a peaceful place to set up the tents and hammocks to sleep. The water was a huge hit for the kids and even for the adults.
The only improvements I think would be good is a more stable fire grill. And the toilet situation was a little unique and not a big hit.
Overall lovely time and would return!

Our first camping trip to Pint Sized Pasture won't be our last! It was such a special and memorable place to ring in a 7th birthday with my animal-loving daughter. The seesaws and play equipment were a huge hit in between rounds of loving on all of the animals. Ms. Lynn was such a kind and generous teacher who let my daughter feed and learn more about each animal. You can tell how much she cares for these animals and that this place is tended with such care. Thank you Patrick and Ms. Lynn for a truly wonderful stay!
