1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC
The accomodations were excellent! You would not find a hotel as well appointed as this site, and it still would not contain the ambiance nor character of the setting. I will definitely be staying at Sugarneck again!

We (3 dogs, 5 adults) had a great time camping on Nikki’s land!! We brought our pop-up tent camper and had no issues leveling it on the high ground site. The campsite instructions & directions were very clear and easy to follow. The map was a nice touch. This is a great secluded site away from the rest of them, and with a short walk to the river. River is full of blue-gill! We caught and released many fish, and I enjoyed floating in the river. Having some form of toilet, a trash can, and fire pit with 1 complimentary bundle of wood were great touches as well! Only thing that could have made our specific site better would be some type of trees or something to provide shade, as there was no shade, so I do recommend bringing an EZ-up or similar to this site, but I believe the river sites looked well-shaded. Excellent time here and very well maintained space- absolutely recommend and we will be back! P.S. for dog owners- no fault of the land but TONS of ticks here that seemed to not be deterred by Frontline and topical spray- so just be aware!

We had a great couple nights. This place is close to home for us and a new favorite escape! The sites were clean and well-prepared. Nikki and Billy were easy to deal with and made the process seamless. Not sure if I want to tell other people about this little gem.

Sugarneck was simply amazing!! She literally thought of everything. My girls enjoyed exploring the land, taking the dog for walks on the trails and the game/TV room. If you are ever thinking about glamping, this is the place for you! We will be back and our friends loved our pictures and stories so much they want to join us!

Sweet set up. Loved being right along the water. It rained the night prior and the road was muddy to the sites but the site was flat and perfect for my arrangement. The site assistant was helpful and insightful. Had a great weekend!

The men were so excited when we pulled up to our spot (#5)!! We had a great view, fairly easy access for the kids to get in the river, and privacy. Some other spots (2-3, I think) were open and would be great for a huge group, because there was no privacy between them. I didn’t notice in reviews or site details that were was a private potty tent. So that was a pleasant surprise. The wood they provided was good burning wood. We peeked in on the yurt. That looks really cool for cold weather! Overall, a great place, with lots of campsite options! We would definitely come back!!

Camping here was easy! Having a campsite by the river was wonderful. The firewood was a bonus. We had no trouble finding our site and Billy even checked in to be sure we were good.
We did, however have noisy neighbors at next site that ran a generator until midnight. After it died, it was so peaceful. Would visit again!

Beautiful set up. Made friends with other campers. The tents were cool via the air conditioner on a particularly hot April day. Loved the common room. Will go back and bring friends.

Beautiful site with everything you could need! This was our first glamping experience and it definitely will not be our last. My husband and I were Clover I and our two kids were in Clover II. The private bathroom with mini fridge and coffee maker made cleanup and meal prep so easy. The site was so quiet and peaceful!

Location is perfect. You are right on the river. Sites were very clean. Ground is level for a tent. It is very quiet through the night. Very comfortable and relaxing. The portable toilets have a lot of hugs though. Only complaint. Everything else was a dream.

I enjoyed my stay on Nikki’s camping land so much, secluded, peaceful & such a beautiful view! We indulged in the kayaking adventure Billy was great with directions, helping with our activity & providing us with whatever we needed for our stay. I would definitely come again & can’t wait for my next visit!

We absolutely loved staying on Alicia’s property. The area was so peaceful and beautiful…it was just the break that we needed. The tent itself was adorable, and had all the creature comforts. Even our (well traveled) kids said this was much better than a hotel room. :) The bathroom was incredible, with a shower I wish I had at home! Highly recommend. 👍🏼

From the moment we got there, till the time we left was absolutely wonderful!!! The tent was better the photos, exceptionally clean, incredibly comfortable and more than I expected. The bathroom facility was as well fantastic! The kids loved it, our dog had the best time and with the exception of being covered in tree pollen for 3 days, we all had an amazing weekend. Alicia was an awesome host!!!!

Nice location right on the river. Small pop up tents for bathrooms. Only problem for us was we found the campsites to be little on the small side and close together. However it is close to our and we would go back for a quick overnight or weekend trip.

Enjoyed a wonderful springtime glamping getaway at Sugarneck! The Clover cabins and bathhouse were clean, cozy, well equipped, and private. Favorite amenities included the mini fridge, Solo Stove fire pit and firewood, strong wifi, towels and toiletries, and coffee machine. My dog and I loved exploring the beautiful property and venturing out to hike at nearby San-Lee Nature Park, Raven Rock State Park, and Harris Lake Park during the day before relaxing around the campfire each evening! A tired dog is a happy dog. :) Looking forward to a return trip!
