Beautiful serene space that was well taken care of. Slept great and our dog had an amazing time running around the wide open space. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

My friend and I found this spot to “meet in the middle” for one night with our dogs (she’s in Durham and I’m in Greensboro). We had a great evening. Super convenient. Would definitely return. Easy directions to the campsite. Felt very private while we were hanging out at campsite. Yet still close to town/conveniences if needed. We made a quick trip to the brewery down the street and it was great. Didn’t interact with the host at all bc there was no need. His Instructions were clear and accurate. Everything mentioned in the post was available and easy to find - including fire wood, which was greatly appreciated!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Nice and quiet space with plenty of walking trails. A nice secluded pond for fishing and the host even said I could bring my kayak! Almost took them up on it but it’s still a little chilly for me on the water but next time! Also not so far out there so you still have good cell service on the whole property.

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Great place to stay. Bekah was great communicating everything. Awesome place nice and quiet. Will be back for sure.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

My son and I took a weekend to camp, and Phillip's place was a perfect camp site for us. We tucked our tent in between the firepit and the woodline, giving us a great view of the pond first thing in the morning w/ the beautiful blueberry farm on the other side. The grounds are big enough to be spacious but not so large as to be overwhelming. There is enough space between the camp site and the house to feel like we were on our own little slice of land with our own space. The indoor bathroom and dishwashing space, while not a necessity for good camping, certainly made things more comfortable. The space was beautiful and quiet and even came with some visits from Luna, their beautiful, sweet, and gentle dog! It's close drive to a variety of state parks and hiking trails as well as the lake and trails at Lake Michael there in Mebane. It's hard to beat "feels remote but close to a lot"! As a host, Phillip could not have been more gracious and accomodating and kind. Again: the perfect mix of there for support while also giving lots of space. Thanks so much Phillip (and family) for creating such a lovely space and I can't wait to go back!

Bekah site is the absolute best! So secluded and peaceful and well maintained

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Bekah has the nicest spot and she is such an accommodating host! We will absolutely be back

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Phillip’s land is gorgeous and was the perfect backdrop for our friends’ first camping experience. The property was well maintained, clean, and easy to find. I also appreciated that there were no other houses or structures within sight or earshot, so it was a very serene location. Exactly what I hope for when I book a Hipcamp. Thank you, Phillip!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

The site is very peaceful and private despite being just a short drive away from any amenities you could need in Chapel Hill or Hillsborough. I stayed at the open fields site but would also recommend the wooded site. The 2 sites are about 400' feet apart, separated by a wooded area and would feel private even with a camper at the other site. The site is just a few minutes away from the Union Grove Farm, Blue Heeler Coffee, and Maple View Ice Cream. Union Grove Farm is on the Scots-Welsh NC Scenic Byway, a beautiful 13 mile route that travels through scenic farmland on routes that date back to 18th century Scotch_Welsh settlers.

2 nights at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Stayed in the open fields spot. Trails were great and my dog loved running around. Stars were beautiful. The hosts were excellent. I highly recommend and I’ll be back again.

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Good stay. Plenty of space. Wide access road with high clearance. I would visit again. Many thanks Bekah!

Nice place. Seemingly nice people. The world will tell

Private meadow and pond

1 site · RV, Tent21 acres · Mebane, NC

Our property is a small hobby farm. The meadow you will be camping in was formed in 1994 when hurricane Fran came through and laid down several acres of hardwood trees. The fallen trees were harvested and the land was cleared and a pond was built and a blueberry patch was planted. Pitch your tent(s) in our private meadow with a small pond on our 21 acre property. You're welcome to fish and walk around the property. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit and the beautiful starry nights. We have a very friendly farm dog named Luna that does roam the property and will likely visit you. Chapel Hill, Mebane, and Hillsborough are all short drives from your campsite. We cater to familes and small groups, NO PARTIES!

Ancient Spring Farm

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Snow Camp, NC

Our farm is a beautiful, private 25 acres with an 1830s house, outbuildings, animals, orchards, gardens, pastures, old trees, wildlife habitat, a spring, and woods. Here you can relax; watch nature; meet our chickens, goats, horse, cats, and dog; learn about archaeology, history, plants, and mead making; and get eggs and homegrown seasonal food. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our ca. 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, wineries, shooting, and more. We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.
