Weekend Trip to Brookhaven Mill Farm

Great space. Easy to find. Thanks, Brookhaven Mill Farm!

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I had a wonderful camping experience here! The location is surprisingly close to downtown, yet it feels like a peaceful escape far from the city buzz. The hosts have two friendly horses, which added a charming touch to the stay. One of the highlights was watching fireflies at night — truly magical! There are several designated camping spots to choose from, and they also allow access to the restroom in their home, which was very convenient. Right next to the site, there’s a scenic cycling and walking trail running along the Neuse River — perfect for a relaxing morning or evening stroll. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick nature escape without leaving the city area!

Weekend Trip to Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This place is AWESOME!! Such sweet people who work there, they take their time answering the 1000's of questions the kids had about all the different animals. If you've never been-and you love animals.... THIS is totally worth it!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We had another great weekend at the meadow. The grandkids fished and play all day and enjoyed their s'mores at night around the campfire. The site includes the use of the campers cabin with a bathroom and sink along with the outdoor shower. Those extra comforts make it a special place to enjoy the camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

The place looked great as always. Nicely trimmed around the camp spots and plenty of room to relax. Great privacy for my dog off leash. He doesn’t go far but he loves the open fields and the creek.

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Private, quiet and amazing atmosphere. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and assisted when and if needed. Onsite power (30 or 50 AMP) was great and onsite water, private shower was an amazing touch. Great experience would stay again. Monroe’s from Alaska.

1 night at Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

I had a great time camping in my hammock at the Sanctuary! It is such a unique place and I loved seeing the wide variety of animals.

1 night at Brookhaven Mill Farm

I had a wonderful stay with Cheryl! The tent site was very easy to set up in and enjoy and the farm and animals around were beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Super beautiful place, private and has pond and bathroom. Well maintained!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite (including the port-a-potty). Beautiful, peaceful, private setting right on the water with a little waterfall nearby. Easy fishing access. Quite magical. Wish we had been able to stay more than one night. Tip: make sure to pack up your food because raccoons may come looking for a treat in the night! We accidentally donated some homemade sourdough bread to their cause. Hopefully they enjoyed it. :)

Weekend Trip to Red Farm LLC

Another great stay with Monte!! Our fur baby loved running around without a leash. We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Man! What an incredible experience. The site was well cared for and next to the River. Mike was tidally awesome. The fishin’ was good. Can’t recommend this camp enough!

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

We rented 'The Whole Enchilada' for 7 families with kids ranging from 4 to 7 years of age. It was the perfect way to initiate them to tent camping and they all loved it. We can't wait to go back. Wes and Kaitlin are superb hosts, very responsive and accommodating.
