Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store. Check us out for your next camping experience. We promise we will do everything within our power to make it great! Two new nicely wooded sites with pond view are now available to provide easy access even during periods of heavy rain.

Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣 Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, quail, turkeys and geese are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well as cured and smoked bacon. We also have fresh organically raised vegetables and herbs in season.

Camping near Greensboro guide

Overview

Known as the “Furniture Capital of the World” due to its prominent place in the industry, Greensboro is also a convenient launchpad for exploring the natural beauty of the Piedmont. This region of North Carolina is known for its gently rolling hills, fertile farmland, and a mix of deciduous and evergreen forests. Yes, there are hiking, cycling, kayaking, and fishing opportunities galore.. But that's not all—there are also fascinating cultural attractions like museums, historic landmarks, and even the nation's largest natural-habitat zoo to explore.

Where to go

Greensboro Surrounds

With its abundance of parks, lakes, and trails for visitors to explore, Greensboro is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts. The Greensboro Science Center's zoo, aquarium, and museum feature interactive exhibits for families. The Guilford Courthouse National Military Park and the Haw River Trail offer ample chances for hiking, biking, and bird-watching. Also, the nearby Piedmont Environmental provides a range of educational programs and hiking trails. Nearby lakes, such as Lake Higgins, Lake Brandt, and Lake Mackintosh, are perfect for boating and fishing.

Hanging Rock State Park

Drive an hour northwest to discover this scenic natural oasis with 7,869 acres of breathtaking beauty. The park is famous for its namesake quartzite peak that provides panoramic views of the surrounding area. Also, visitors can explore over 20 miles of hiking trails, including the challenging 4.3-mile Hanging Rock Trail. The park also boasts five waterfalls that are ideal for swimming and wading.

Uwharrie National Forest

This outdoor area is renowned for its extensive network of hiking trails that wind through scenic woodlands and pass lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Uwharrie National Forest is also popular among off-road enthusiasts, with miles of trails dedicated to four-wheeling. These trails range from easy to challenging, and visitors can explore the forest's rugged terrain by jeep, ATV, or dirt bike.

When to go

The best time to visit Greensboro is generally from April to November (the fall foliage is gorgeous in October), when you can expect mild temperatures and less rainfall. Summer months can be hot and humid, but it's easy to access water activities to help beat the heat. Winter temperatures can vary. While there's occasional snowfall, it's often comfortable enough to go hiking and cycling.
