We had a nice peaceful overnight trip. You can tell the owners take pride in their property to ensure a great guest experience. The site was clean. Stocked with wood, plenty of seating, the little gnomes was a cute touch. View was beautiful. We would definitely come back!

The Rocky Knoll is a beautiful little spot with an amazing view! Easy to access with additional seating provided, a lovely fire pit, and a well leveled tent pad. My dogs and I had a great time and the hosts were amazing! My battery ended up dying in my car the second night and they quickly helped me resolve the issue. I can’t wait to go back when it gets warm again. Thank you both so much!

Excellent site! The view is very nice, it's laid out well. They have a lot of accommodations there that were nice to see for people that come less-prepared. the view is very nice and it is a nice cozy place! The "poop shed" is also, really nice. It's not just a port-a-john, they put proper care and attention into making it enjoyable to use! Will almost certainly be booking again in the future!

If this spot is available, stop reading and go book now! My partner and I camped here in October with our two dogs and had a great stay! Lois and Mike have thought of everything.
The site is easy to find in the dark and the road is well maintained. The tent area is level and there is ample seating. They supplied tons of firewood as well as a grate/hot dog stick for cooking over the fire. We really appreciated they also left a shovel/water to ensure fires are fully put out. The site is really private and the views are awesome. The only downside was a bit of animal noise at night (dogs, owls, and maybe a donkey) - our reactive dog struggled a bit at first but way less than at other sites we've stayed. We didn't use the poop shed but peaked our heads in and it was immaculately clean.
It's about 25 minutes to Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain State Parks. Buffalo Creek Farm nearby has great ice cream! Highly recommend!

This place is great!! Set up very thoughtfully. Tons of firewood available and the directions were easy. Having a landmark next to the site was great for after dusk driving in. The views are the best part of the site. We did both state parks which were close, and even stopped at a taphouse and an ice cream shop on the Main Street. As mentioned in the host notes and other reviews, there are a few bugs (harmless spiders and ants) and we got a late night visitor while in the tent, likely a larger deer or buck. Just ensure your belongings/snacks are safe. Nearby properties had dogs but I slept through after all the hiking! I would highly recommend this site.

Great site! Beautiful, big, and private. The picnic table was huge and the fire pit was big and really nice. The best part was the TONS of complementary firewood. One of their dogs hung out with us and our dogs for a few hours before it got dark. There are also 2 barn kittens that hung out with us all night lol.
Dayla and Denae were very sweet and generous hosts. We can't wait to go back!

Our campsite was absolutely beautiful — the views of Hanging Rock from our site were priceless. We caught both sunrise and sunset right from our spot, and each was stunning.
There was plenty of space to spread out, and the amenities were perfect: firewood provided, picnic tables, chairs, a few jugs of water for washing hands and dishes, and a great fire pit with a grate. The trees were perfectly situated for multiple hammocks, which made for the ultimate relaxation setup. The site was close to tons of hiking trails, and the natural sounds — birds, frogs, and crickets — just added to the vibe. Exactly what you’d expect (and hope for!) in a true outdoor setting. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return!

It was a beautiful scenic spot, very private but not isolate to where you were would be concerned with any dangerous wildlife. We heard a train passing by the nearby mountain at midnight and we thought that was pretty cool! Wonderful place would stay again and plan to !

Loved the excluded feel with an amazing view! Several things I’d like to point out: easy directions to follow and find. Loved the cleanliness of the port-a-john and what they supplied inside, including a light! Loved the painted rocks with little reminders/sayings on them as well as the figurines. Loved the seating arrangements and the sandy pad for the tent. Having a circle drive to get in and out was very smart, too! The access to firewood was a relief so that I didn’t have to bring several bundles that take up a lot of room during travel. Overall, the view. Wow. Beautiful sunset and sunrise! I will return!

This was my first time using Hipcamp and this experience exceeded my expectations! The site is secluded and I did not see another person my entire stay. It’s located in a small town, not much there but exactly what I wanted. I had cell signal and a gas station and store is a little over a mile away. Absolutely stunning views!! I will return!

Dayla is the warmest and most welcoming host I have ever met! She was so kind and made sure to go the extra mile in every way so that our experience would be one for the memories. Great spot with complete privacy, pond to fish, horses to pet, a creek to bathe in and relax by, an open area for activities, a camp fire to sit and laugh around, wood to burn, and it’s in a great location. We hiked hanging rock and got ice cream that was DELICIOUS and spent the rest of the time on site laughing, worshipping and learning about the Lord, and making memories that will last a long time. Highly recommend and plan on going back soon!
