Our property is a small hobby farm. The meadow you will be camping in was formed in 1994 when hurricane Fran came through and laid down several acres of hardwood trees. The fallen trees were harvested and the land was cleared and a pond was built and a blueberry patch was planted. Pitch your tent(s) in our private meadow with a small pond on our 21 acre property. You're welcome to fish and walk around the property. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit and the beautiful starry nights. We have a very friendly farm dog named Luna that does roam the property and will likely visit you. Chapel Hill, Mebane, and Hillsborough are all short drives from your campsite. We cater to familes and small groups, NO PARTIES!

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.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We loved camping at this peaceful and private hipcamp, complete with a stocked pond and plenty of room for the dogs to run off leash. The meadow is fenced on 3 sides which was a nice peace of mind having the dogs with us. My son and I fished the pond and we caught a bunch of small bass and sunfish/bluegill. It was great for my sons fishing confidence to catch something so easily! We brought our 14ft vintage Shasta (low ground clearance) and we had no trouble on the way in or turning around. We would definitely come back for quick easy trips close to the triangle!

We stayed here due to its location within a few miles of our family/friends. Monte is a very friendly host and very welcoming. My husband was working remote through the day and we went to our friends’ home in the evenings. I spent daytime hours exploring the area recreation areas and parks, of which there are many. There is a lot of contracting type activity that goes on around the site during the day but it quiets down at night. We were also there Sunday-Sat and weren’t there over a weekend. If you are looking for seclusion and camping in the woods, this site would not be for you. If you are looking for a jumping off point for exploring the area, work, or visiting family/friends, this site works fine.

★★★★★ I had a really great stay here. Bekah was an incredible host—super responsive and genuinely helpful in guiding me to the exact spot to camp, which made everything feel easy right from the start. The property itself is peaceful and well cared for, with a calm, quiet atmosphere that’s hard to find. My dog absolutely loved it too—plenty of space to roam and relax without feeling crowded or stressed. One of the highlights was the trails on the property. They’re beautiful, easy to explore, and add a lot to the experience if you enjoy being outside and moving around a bit. Overall, it felt like a thoughtful, welcoming place to stay. I’d definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, nature-filled spot with a great host.
