Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

Weekend Trip to Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

This is such a hidden gem; it's my 3rd time booking at this campsite. It's great for a dip in the creek and a fun time with friends. The trails are well-maintained, and the amenities are great for first-time campers. I love bringing my friends here, and it has become somewhat of a tradition to come here and unwind. The host is very kind, thoughtful, and quick to respond; I will continue to recommend and spread the word about this wonderful site.

Great site, the area was clean and surrounded by trees connected by a trail to Site 3, which is where another group of friends stayed to be close to the creek. Great secluded campsite!

Weekend Trip to SCOTTY’s SCAMP

Loved everything about this place! The fields, forest, pond and stream were beautiful and clean. It was very private. The host was super; he gave use all the helpful and useful information about the site but kept it concise. We would definitely camp here again and in fact intend on it very soon!

Weekend Trip to Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

It’s a beautiful quiet environment. The bus is cute and the bed is comfortable. It was cold when I camped, but with the little wood stove, my sleeping bag and the blankets Kristen provided I slept nice and cozy. My golden retriever enjoyed the wide open space and the little trail by the river to play and walk.
