14mi from Elon · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · 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; take guided tours to learn about the farm, animals, plants, archaeology, and history or learn to make mead; and purchase eggs and homegrown seasonal food and products. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, breweries, 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.

I love this farm space and Rebecca who runs it. I rented the pine run site. Spacious and comfortable. Walks around the farms are beautiful feeding a friendly horse and saying hi to the goats and chickens. Rebecca offers breakfasts st a reasonable fee but i missed that during my second visit here. You cant miss out on visiting here.

It was nice to know if rain came that I would stay dry under the tractor shed. Plenty of room for my tent and my car double that. You can hear road noise just slightly. Rebecca's land and camp sites are tidy, well built, beautiful, instructions are clear and it was peaceful.

I loved tent camping at pine valley location. The long morning walk to the barn was perfect with a cup of coffee. Rebecca went above and beyond for my 7 and 8 year old. Lots of exploring and interaction with the animals. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back. Thanks for sharing your piece of heaven with us Rebecca!

Rebecca was an amazing host, she took the time to show us around the farm and let our eldest feed some of the animals. She was very thorough and friendly. The description of the camp site could not match beauty and how peaceful it was. It was nice sleeping under the large shelter of the tractor barn

We had a wonderful trip at the farm. It was a beautiful property with lots of spots to explore, including a secluded trail in the woods. Rebecca was a generous host and had everything set up beautifully, including the nicely decorated outhouses. Our kids loved petting the goats and horse. The evening was quiet and peaceful and we had a beautiful view of the stars. Will definitely be back again!

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.

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!

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Cove

I accidentally goofed and forgot to communicate with the host about my reactive dog, but the host was extremely understanding and able to work with me to find the best site on the property. I ended up camping at the first area available and still had view of the lake and a flat grassy area for my pup and I to stretch our legs. Even being at the front end of the property, the site was incredibly quiet and had a feeling of privacy. The only loud part of the stay were the frogs at night, but I love hearing the chorus of animals at night!

This was my second time coming to this wonderful spot. Rebecca does everything right. Last time I came solo and this time I came with my partner and his very anxious little dog. It was the dogs first time camping and they did great. They both loved it as much as I do. Can't wait to come back again.
