Dogpatch Farms is a farm offering Broad River access( canoe portage under construction but usable) campsites with the goal of making camping affordable again. We aren’t shooting for fancy or flashy just a clean quiet spaces and friendly safe environment where a person or group can enjoy nature without breaking the bank. We have one space for a RV/Camper with power water and septic dump ( down by the Barndo) and only a few with power and water only ( up by the well house)($60 and $40 per night respectively). Primitive areas vary from hillside, river side and open field all of which have an indoor toilet access and outside ( soon inside too) shower. Barndo is an active construction zone as we turn it into a full facility with cooking and laundry benefits so don’t expect fancy but that’s not our goal. Expect to see a sweet dog, a goat and probably a chicken ( and even enjoying a free egg) and definitely a tractor. Have a good time but I don’t tolerate stupid and you are expected to not leave a mess like a true outdoorsman should. There is an of wildlife including beavers, turkeys( roosting in the valley), deer and such to see because of our low impact approach so observe but don’t harass. We hope to become your destination and guide to the great outdoors.

Located on family land granted by King Charles in 1685 we have worked hard to restore and refurbish in a sustainable way, using the trees and supplies from the land that they sit on. Hand crafting doors and furniture the way the family did it 140 plus years ago. The history of this place is deep, even the nails for the cabin and farm house that is now the clubhouse were hand crafted by my great grandfather in his blacksmith shop, along with the wagon wheels, horse shoes, misc farm utensils etc... there was no running out to Lowes to pick up what was needed, it was made in the blacksmith shop. We love riding ATV's and SXS's on the trails on the mountains that I grew up on with my 3 brothers, we hope the people who visit and experience the mountains feel about them the way we do, we love em. We like to give riding tours and talking about the mountain and its challenges. We named the park from the famous product that was created here during prohibition, Cherry Bounce Moonshine. You can visit some of the original still sites on the mountain, of course they are not operational today. About the adventure co side, We are an adrenaline pumping ATV and SXS park with 25+ miles of mountainous trails at four skill levels; Green (Easy), Blue (Challenging), Black Diamond (Very Difficult) and Double Black Diamond (Most Difficult). You can bring your own ATV or SXS or rent one of ours. We have cabins & camp sites that are accessed by ATV or SXS on the mountains as well as hiking or biking. We do not allow jeeps, trucks or dirt bike motorcycles on the mountain, just ATV's and SXS vehicles.

4 nights at Dogpatch Farms

Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Nice place to relax and the goats are very friendly 🐐.

The campsite we chose. Camped in the bed of the truck and backed as close as we could to the edge for an amazing view of the river in the morning

Weekend Trip to Dogpatch Farms

I can't say enough good things about Patrick, his hospitality, and the sites and amenities available. This was our second trip at DogPatch and once again, an amazing and memorable experience was had. From the cow trough bath, to watching deer, to identifying spider species we had never seen before, it's all an experience we will never forget. Both times, as we are packing to leave, we are always thinking about another good weekend to come back out. Thanks so much for being an amazing host Patrick! Hopefully we will see y'all again soon.

Weekend Trip to Dogpatch Farms

I honestly don't know where to start. Patrick is AMAZING! He went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. He explained current amenities offered, and plans for futures ones which I'm excited about. The bath was hot and so relaxing, I could lay down completely unlike in my own tub and I'm 5'8. The campsite we chose close by the river was quiet, level, and nothing but wildlife. We saw deer while cooking dinner and listened to various bird songs. We went on a small walk along the river and saw a beaver dam and the biggest orb weaver spider we had ever seen. Plenty of wood around when we went to get the fire started to cook on and keep warm. That fire was HOT! Cooked our salmon, corn, and potatoes straight on the coals in foil. Even though we stayed for one night, we fell in love quickly with the views and hospitality. I'm sure our dog even made the best memories on this camping trip. We will DEFINITELY be back with friends. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience.
