Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

I have been coming here a couple times a year for three years now. Every time is a great experience. I can’t say enough about the beach, the new play ground, the friendly owners. While I still go to other places, I will make sure we still have this on our list a couple times a year. Oh, and the address is now in Waze as the name of the campsite.

1 night at The Rocky Knoll

This was my first time using Hipcamp, and it exceeded all expectations. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was peaceful, and the bonfire pit added the perfect touch to the experience. The campsite itself was phenomenal—well-maintained, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful nature. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene getaway.

The view was Beautiful and very relaxing also easy accessible

Weekend Trip to Kohler Farms-A Shire Horse...

We loved our stay at Kohler Farms! The campsite was absolutely beautiful—right along the creek, which provided the most peaceful background of babbling water all weekend long. The hosts were incredibly communicative and thoughtful, even covering the kindling so everything stayed dry for us. Tons of firewood was available, and the site itself felt private and well-kept. Their two farm dogs stopped by to say hello a couple of times and were so sweet with our pup—it was such a fun surprise. And wow, their shire horses are stunning! Seeing them up close was magical. The only thing to note is that you can hear some road traffic at night, but overall, this spot was serene and so worth it. We’d absolutely come back!

Weekend Trip to Papa's Farm

This was my first time using the app and Papa’s Farm didn’t disappoint! I waited too long to book the site I wanted and both sites got booked. And he opened up another spot to accommodate me. Very beautiful place! Definitely recommend!

1 night at William Cornelius Vineyard

The sunset was incredible! We had a bit of an overcast weekend, but the sun really showed off the first night. There was so much room for our dog to run around! We camped and the road is a tad close but the noise was fairly minimal, especially as it got later in the night. The little creek that runs through the property was fun to find. A ton of great little hikes and waterfalls around the area. Just 5 minutes down the road there is public access to Fisher River - pretty clean and flowing river. Was cool! You’ll have a good time!

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

Great camp site everyone was super nice and the owners are amazing! 10 out of 10 would recommend there is multiple ways to enter the river for fishing, swimming or just enjoying the beautiful views that the river has to offer. Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly and get along well with others and it was a joy getting to spend time with my two dogs and other peoples dogs as well. You can bring your kayaks and Steve will drive you up the river and drop you off for a nice float down the river back to the camp sites. If you don’t have kayaks don’t worry they have some you can rent and do the same thing. If you like hiking it’s a short 10-15 minute drive to Pilot Mt that has beautiful trails and views of the area with great opportunities to see different rare and endangered wildlife like bald Eagles.

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

Stephen Laura are fantastic hosts. The property is amazing with lots of activities in the area.

1 night at Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

I had an incredible time at Camp 8! The shaded area was absolutely fantastic, providing the perfect escape from the heat. Plus, the river was a stunning sight, with its crystal-clear water flowing gently—it was the ideal spot to relax and soak in the beauty of nature!

1 night at Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

This was such a cool campsite and we wish we had more time to enjoy it. It is about 15 minutes from Pilot Mountain visitor center. We stayed at #6 River Rest and the river access was fantastic. Be prepared for other campers to use your site as the access point, as that was a little unclear for us. Hearing the water at night and enjoying it during the evening was fantastic. Not buggy at all for end of May.

3 nights at Papa's Farm

Wow, what a terrific spot and host. John is super friendly and helpful. The site is large, clean, flat, and shaded. I stayed 3 nights with my Daughter, Son In Law and 3 grandsons. They lived it as well. The boys lived meeting the farm animals and feeding them. Very quiet and peaceful. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend to all.

Weekend Trip to Scarlett Drawl

Great place to stay! Beautiful field, with a really nice creek at the back to play in.

Weekend Trip to William Cornelius Vineyard

We loved pitching a tent on Williams land! The site was as described & well maintained. We were treated to an incredible sunset on our first night. There was so much room for our dog to run around and explore. There is also water access to the Fisher River, which was clean due to the consistent flow of the river. There is also a great waterfall and “beach” area about 20 mins from the site - Carter Falls. Highly recommended. We did not do much hiking due to a kid tagging along but there are numerous trails near by. With that said, the site was very kid friendly. Running water & electric are huge bonuses. We brought string (recommend 15 ft), a blanket and clips to project a movie- tied the string to the breaker box post and the light post. It was cool!! We pitched near the RV platform and it was a little noisy with cars passing by (maybe 1-3 every few minutes) but after 10PM the traffic died down drastically and was peaceful. I would recommend pitching a bit further down the hill. If you are in an RV, I doubt you could hear the cars. Even with the sporadic noises, the site felt fairly secluded & safe.

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

We love camping here! This is our 4th time in the last few seasons and it’s always wonderful to Laura and Steve are kind and awesome camp hosts. We look forward to coming back again soon! Bring your kids and dogs. This is a whole family getaway 😊

2 nights at The Rocky Knoll

Great site, very private, great view! We really appreciated our hosts’ attention to detail with little lights, fire ring, raking the tent pad, etc. thank you!

Weekend Trip to William Cornelius Vineyard

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Long-range views, property to yourself. Great site. The host's instructions were spot on. Several wineries are very close to the site, both low-key and high-end ones. Nice private spot. We suggest placing the fire pit on the gravel, even if it's been wet, as the grass thatch is thick, as we learned, lol.

Weekend Trip to Kohler Farms-A Shire Horse...

Our camping adventure did not go as planned this trip due to weather. We’ve stayed here a few times before and the hosts are always kind and welcoming. It was nice to see their older pup, Callie, again, and their new pup. Even with the mud from the rain it’s still a beautiful property. Look forward to a future trip.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

Loved camping here. It felt really private. Site was very clean and manicured. View is stunning

Weekend Trip to Wild Toad Lake

Literally my favorite place to go camping. Not only is it a beautiful location, it has amazing amenities that most other places don’t have.

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

I was not sure what I was getting into when booking this reservation. The area had wonderful signage, you definitely cannot miss the camp store. Definitely a doozy getting in and out so most definitely be prepared. But Laura was the perfect hostess with the mostess. She was there upon arrival to greet you with the welcoming committee. She made sure that you were well stock and included in the activities going on. Her and husband were so sweet with the conversations. We had to cut the trip short due to weather but Laura made sure that everyone was aware and her husband even offered to help if we needed it. Will be back for more fun this summer
