River Farm is a fantastic stop if you are cycling the Neuse River Trail and need an over night stay. We are a peaceful campsite located along the Greenway Trail 20 minutes from Downtown Raleigh and 10 minutes from Clayton. The farm offers private wooded meadows with direct access to the Greenway for walking and cycling. Campers can either rent a tent or bring their own, choosing between secluded spots, shaded areas, or open spaces. The campsite is accessible via a gravel farm track and is close to the Greenway, river, and main house for bathroom access.
Nearby attractions include the Bailey Sarah William Preserve with 447 acres and 16.6 miles of multi-use trails, Sandy Pines Preserve with 563 acres of trails and fishing (18 minutes away), and Robertson Mill Pond for trails and seasonal kayaking (17 minutes away). For water activities, Neuse Adventures Canoe and Kayak Rentals is just 12 minutes away.
River Farm offers a tranquil camping experience with the convenience of nearby Raleigh events, including the Walnut Creek Music Park, only 20 minutes away for concertgoers.

Peaceful RV & Tent Site on Farm‑Land in Central North Carolina — “Greenfield”
Welcome to Greenfield — a quiet, 6‑acre private retreat nestled near Stoney Creek, just outside Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Our spot is only about an hour from Goldsboro, Greenville, or Raleigh, making it a convenient escape while still offering real country charm.
Whether you bring an RV, a camper, or a tent, you’ll enjoy full hookups (electric, water, and sewer) and a private driveway for easy access. There’s room for one camper, and space to stretch out comfortably while soaking in the farm‑land setting. Campfires are allowed, and you’re welcome to bring your pet — the land is pet‑friendly and offers plenty of open space.
You’ll be surrounded by a mix of woods, a pond, and a creek running through the property, giving you a true “escape‑to-nature” vibe. It’s a great spot for a couple, a small group, or a solo traveler seeking peace, privacy, and a relaxed pace.
At night, enjoy peaceful surroundings — away from city noise but still close enough to city conveniences if you need supplies or want a change of scene. This spot is ideal for people wanting simple comfort, open skies, and a serene countryside experience.
Book your stay at Greenfield and enjoy a quiet retreat in the heart of North Carolina — perfect for reconnecting with nature, unwinding by a fire, and waking up to the gentle rhythm of pond, creek, and countryside.

We enjoyed our stay at Bright Star Farm. It was nice and quiet. The directions were clear and the spot was very nice. They have a nice bathroom. We enjoyed seeing the peacocks and the miniature horses were adorable. It was nice getting a bit of history from the owners and the were super friendly! Would definitely recommend.

The site was lovely, but not as private as I’d hoped. I could see the neighbors, and hear everything from the neighboring campers on the other side of the barn. The property was beautiful. My dog really enjoyed walking around and seeing the donkeys and such. I never did locate the trail. If you pay extra for it, like I did, ask for specific directions for it.

Great place to camp! The hosts were friendly and accommodating on the initial greet. They live there on the property but felt private as it's the only tent site. Would absolutely stay again.

Emma was so accommodating at the last minute!! I accidentally drove a bit out of my way and thankfully she welcomed me in at 8pm with little notice. She wrote out detailed instructions for me to get into the camp.
Her son, James, was awesome and gave me a tour of their place. He even introduced me to the horses. The land was seriously so special, and something I won’t forget. I’m so grateful I got to stay here and experience it.
Thank you, Emma and James!

What an awesome campsite! The host was so kind and welcoming and even gave us a tour of their beautiful, tucked-away land. They had some beautiful friendly horses, beautiful open fields, and easy access to the Neuse River Trail which made for some great evening walks. We will definitely be back!

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!

We were looking for a safe / quiet place to stay in our campervan for a few nights close to the Neuse River Trail. This spot was perfect! Trail access is directly on the property (no need to ride or walk on main roads to get there). Emma and co were super responsive to our questions, and it was so nice to wake up to see the horses each morning!
