Weekend Trip to Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

1 night at Ancient Spring Farm

Everything was perfect. We loved our little glam open air bedroom. The time was purely magical. We also upgraded to have breakfast. The fresh eggs and delicious bacon were top drawer!!

1 night at Ancient Spring Farm

We had such a lovely and memorable stay at Ancient Spring Farm! We really enjoyed the forage tour, learning about edible and non-edible plants was fascinating! And the animal tour with all the bay goats was a great bonus! Rebecca is such a lovely human, warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable! We had breakfast under the pecan trees with fresh eggs and vegetables from her farm, and even brought some eggs home with us! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, immersive farm experience. We felt truly welcomed and connected to the land.

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

I really enjoyed my experience with my family. Everything was clean and well kept. Even with summer, mosquitos weren't rampant. They have 3 or 4 other units on the property and they're all well spaced out. The tent was a great condition. The kitchen included a small fridge and a small coffee maker and some mugs, plates, and bowls. The game room was a lifesaver. Our dog enjoyed her time as well as she got to run around the property to explore. She's good about being called and coming to us, but for others, I'd recommend really knowing your dog because the property isn't fenced in and they could just run off into the woods. Plenty of shaded areas. The game room was a lifesaver because it had room for us to just lounge around and play games and watch TV. Don't judge, we chose glamping this time for a reason! Lol the long swing was fun. We also found a full size corn hole set, ax throwing (plastic), and as much ice as you could need for your stay. It was a wonderful time. The only BIG thing you should consider is how much there is to do in the immediate area (not much). So either plan to stay on property the whole time you're here, or be sure everything is at a reasonable distance. This is a great spot to just get away.

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

The bathroom and The Alice were both clean. Due to its location, wooded area, there were a lot of bugs (spiders, roaches, etc) inside both. That was expected but disturbing. The “game room” on the property was really nice and had games and a tv for movie night. We would definitely return. However, non of us were ever able to connect to the WiFi. Even at the game room. So that was disappointing since one of us looked forward to working on a novel. But in general, we had a great time. Also, we were able to communicate via the App if there were any issues.

Weekend Trip to Brookhaven Mill Farm

Cheryl is amazing!! This is the perfect place to camp, it's quiet and secluded. The farm stand is open on the weekend I got a bunch of goodies! We got to pet the sheep and donkeys and they were so friendly. I would definitely come back here!!

Weekend Trip to Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

Such a great find! Kristen is a wonderful host, and we had a great time exploring the creek and woods. Can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Ancient Spring Farm

We lived camping here! Rebecca was so friendly and helpful and the property was beautiful. She was even kind enough to rescue us when we forgot a lighter! Would absolutely recommend.

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We love the Tent that we stayed in. We are lucky that it was only us who were staying in the whole place that day. The place is very spacious and beautifully decorated. We had our dinner in their bbq station and we enjoyed it! A lot of activities around to enjoy. We will definitely be back next time and will bring more friends to stay!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

Fantastic. Well thought out design of cabin and space. Would recommend to friends looking for an easy outdoor getaway.

Weekend Trip to Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

My wife and I were looking for a weekend getaway and we couldn't have found a better place. Sean is an amazing host and the property is a perfect retreat. The well maintained trails are perfect for exploring and an afternoon float on the lake was just what the doctor ordered! We are already planning our next visit with the kids!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

This was a great experience. I needed to get away and be one with nature and this was perfect. The accommodations were wonderful and everything was right where I needed to be with the privacy I needed. I was able to reset myself and find the calm that only exists in a natural beautiful setting. I was so relaxed and able to truly find my joy and peace. The cabin being screened in helped keep out the critters and let the nature vibes in. I would highly recommend this place to reconnect with Nature and find your inner peace.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience

The Yellow Submarine as great. I had a very relaxing time and the property was beautiful. The unit had everything needed for the weekend and never had to leave. Thank you Kathy. Missy and Allan were great as well.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

River Farm on the Neuse provides a unique opportunity to camp in the meadows of a private farm along the Neuse River Trail. It was the perfect site for complete privacy, easy access to the Trail and being in a less commercial campground than what you normally encounter. Emma and family were the perfect hosts and I am sure we will return the next time that we bike the Neuse River Trail.

14 nights at River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I loved camping at River Fam Camp, it was amazing 2 weeks. The host, Emma, and her son James were absolutely lovely! I truly hated having to leave. Gorgeous property and land area. I will definitely be back. James thank you so much for treating me like family, it was a pleasure meeting you and having conversations with you. Look forward to talking with you both soon! Thank you for going above and beyond making me feel welcomed! Much love to you both, Nichole T. & her fab Aussie 5

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Cove

The area was freshly mowed, making moving around easy. Beautiful lake views with some permanent seating. Loved the fairy lights on the trees! Only word of caution is there is no swimming allowed in the lake! So tempting!! It was very quiet at night but convenient to the road and town if you want it!

1 night at Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

We loved camping at Sean’s land! It’s beautiful and it was pretty quiet. Sean was really welcoming, he even gave us fresh eggs and marshmallows. We hope to come back soon!

1 night at Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

The lake is beautiful and saw turtles, frogs and was a lovely walk around the entire lake. Unfortunately, I have dogs that scare easily and Scott’s dogs visit the camping area, so I did not stay. But the property was gorgeous and Scott was easy to communicate with and gave me fresh eggs when I arrived.

1 night at Tar River Life

The canvas tent was soooo lovely to come to after a long trip and it was amazing to wake up next to the river to the sound of birds singing. It was easy getting in & out. There were lovely hammock seats in the shade you could stretch out in. Billy & Nikki were easy to get ahold of, too. Wish we coulda stayed longer!
