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.

Tent
This place is comfortable, peaceful, and had several flat places to pitch a tent. Mark was very responsive and his directions were clear. One hint - there is a bright street light near the trampoline. It did not bother us but you should know.
All in all we recommend staying here.

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.

This was a perfect place to spend the night, heading home from Ocracoke, just a short drive from the Swan Quarter ferry. Water, power and a nice level spot, provided everything we needed. We would be happy to go back next time, and highly recommend. Super quiet, safe, and plenty of room to walk around with the dog.

The best river, stream, or creek RV sites near Greenville guide
Where to go
Greenville Surrounds
Drive-up camping can be found right at River Park North, where paddlers using the Pamlico-Tar River Water Trail can access camping along the route. Even better, Greenville has rental shops right in town for easy kayaking or standup paddleboarding on the Tar River. The Greenville Greenway and the Bicycle Post Trails mountain biking area are two much-loved local trail systems as well.
Goose Creek State Park
You can paddle the Pamlico River and cruise the boardwalk around a swamp of cypress trees and Spanish moss just 45 minutes east of Greenville at Goose Creek State Park. The Goose Creek campground has both tent camping and RV camping sites with picnic tables, fire rings, restrooms, and showers.
Hammocks Beach State Park
Hammocks Beach State Park is an awesome beach park comprising three barrier islands on the Atlantic coast. The islands are accessible by ferry or paddling and feature coveted car-free beach camping.
Cape Lookout National Seashore
The Cape Lookout National Seashore preserves 56 miles of Outer Banks islands with sandy beaches. Ferries to these islands launch out of Harkers Island and Beaufort, about two hours southeast of Greenville, and once on the stretch of sand, campers can pitch their tent in most island areas (with some exceptions). Surfing, swimming, shelling, fishing, crabbing, and clamming are popular activities—just don’t miss the park’s famous Shackleford Banks island, home to wild horses.
When to go
Greenville’s subtropical climate allows for camping year-round, though summer brings the warmest weather, biggest crowds, and most access. Many barrier island ferries do not operate in winter; for instance, the Cape Lookout National Seashore ferries tend to run from April to November only. Winter brings cold-weather camping anyway, with lows in the 30s and highs in the 50s.
