Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Love this spot. Kids had the opportunity to see pigs, hold a lamb, see a donkey and we all enjoyed great music on the venue after Saturday at Saxapahaw. Will definitely come back again.

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 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. :)
