Tent

1 night at Brookhaven Mill Farm

I had a wonderful stay with Cheryl! The tent site was very easy to set up in and enjoy and the farm and animals around were beautiful.

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort

We enjoyed how beautiful the property was, it was relaxing and we would absolutely return. ☺️

Weekend Trip to Riverside Retreats

I liked tent camping here because of the access to the river and the private scenery. It was good for hammocks and tents plus was very close to go to Hanging rock state park. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Mystic Meadow Love Shack

Our stay was great. The love shake was a great size four two and two dogs. She has very helpful amenities throughout the camp spot. The dogs loved the creak and the trail. The trail was about a 15 minute walk, a must do. She was very responsive and accomidating. The outhouse looks intimidating on the pictures but it was very nice. Clean and no odor at all. The showers were great, clean and plenty of hot water.

2 nights at Infinity Acres Ranch

Actually we were moved to the Lakeside Campsite based on our needs and Laura's recommendation. Thank you. Laura and Rick were fantastic hosts, they don't come any better. From the time we arrived, to the time we left, we were made to feel at home. The campsite was clean and very scenic. The animals were amazing, each with their own personality. Laura and Rick do amazing things for the animals in their care, as well as the interactive experiences with schools, special needs children, nursing homes, and churches. If you have the time, a Llama walk through their trails will restore your soul. It truly felt like staying in Narnia. Greatly recommend staying at Infinity Acres, we will be back soon.

Weekend Trip to Ancient Spring Farm

This was my second time coming to this wonderful spot. Rebecca does everything right. Last time I came solo and this time I came with my partner and his very anxious little dog. It was the dogs first time camping and they did great. They both loved it as much as I do. Can't wait to come back again.

2 nights at Sugarneck Glamping Resort

Sugarneck was simply amazing!! She literally thought of everything. My girls enjoyed exploring the land, taking the dog for walks on the trails and the game/TV room. If you are ever thinking about glamping, this is the place for you! We will be back and our friends loved our pictures and stories so much they want to join us!

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We made a last minute drive through the area and found this beautiful spot! We throughly enjoyed our stay, we just wish we stayed a little longer!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

I went camping looking for a place to unwind and came across this very private and well kept site. The owner greeted me upon arrival and was very friendly/informative as well making my stay very pleasant overall. Highly recommend for anyone looking for some peace with respects towards the owners and property of course. Thank-you!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

The site was beautiful!! Very private, and pretty easy to access. The instructions were easy to follow to get in and the host was very friendly. Lots of space for my kid and the creek was stunning. I will definitely be coming back!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Honah Lee Farms is the perfect camping spot for dogs or people who want privacy. We took are three dogs and were pleased that they could be off leash the whole time and didn’t run into any other campers. We stayed at Camper’s Choice #2 which was very private and shaded with access to a scenic creek. The host was great at communicating and very friendly. We look forward to going again!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Another great stay at Honah Lee Farms! This time we also went to visit the donkeys on the property and they were so sweet. We chatted with Mike and met his dog Daisy as well, and everyone was lovely. Will definitely be back again!

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

Another great camping trip to Kohler Farms on the books! We had colder than expected weather, rain, and a little mud but that did not stop us from having a great time. Sitting by the creek listening to the water trickle while watching the gorgeous horses directly across from it was so soothing and relaxing. This is one of our favorite spots. We are looking forward to coming back again.

2 nights at Mystic Meadow Love Shack

Such an amazing experience. This place is magical. We left so rested and inspired. This space has everything you need that we weren’t expecting. We felt so taken care of. BOOK THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW!!

1 night at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

This place is amazing, well off the road and quiet. It did rain, so the owner allowed us to park on the driveway, which was just as good as being in the field. They really have a hidden gem out here. Their driveway is super long and adds to the feeling of being even more hidden away from society...it was an easy drive in, plenty of room. They have big plans for the area out there and I see them having nothing but success!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

We genuinely enjoyed staying here. The family greeted us with smiles, giving us a tour around the property. We stayed in the shade and got to fish. Different types of fish too! Only caution, ticks. Within the first few minutes of setting up camp myself and my Sister In Law had a tick on us. So, make sure you have repellent.

Weekend Trip to Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

This is such a hidden gem; it's my 3rd time booking at this campsite. It's great for a dip in the creek and a fun time with friends. The trails are well-maintained, and the amenities are great for first-time campers. I love bringing my friends here, and it has become somewhat of a tradition to come here and unwind. The host is very kind, thoughtful, and quick to respond; I will continue to recommend and spread the word about this wonderful site.

For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. - Brian) Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm.

A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.

Mystic Meadow Love Shack

1 site · Lodging28 acres · Madison, NC

My farm had been untouched for years and only used as hay farming. It is rolling hills known by the locals as "Butterfly Hill" Which the farm is home to many species of butterflies in the summer. I know the area was inhabited by native Americans many decades ago. I have found a few broken arrow heads over the years. The farm is beautiful and quiet. I have a beautiful hiking trail around the property for you to take your fur babies on. The cabin is right on a beautiful stream too. There are several state parks nearby and river tubing within 10 -30 minutes. Hot showers and potable water just a few feet away.

Ancient Spring Farm

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents25 acres · Snow Camp, NC

Our farm is a beautiful, private 25 acres with an 1830s house, outbuildings, animals, orchards, gardens, pastures, old trees, wildlife habitat, a spring, and woods. Here you can relax; watch nature; meet our chickens, goats, horse, cats, and dog; learn about archaeology, history, plants, and mead making; and get eggs and homegrown seasonal food. Listen to birdsong and watch clouds during the day, wander a path through our ca. 5 acres of woods, see fireflies in the evening, and star watch at night. Nearby are hiking, horseback riding, historical sites, fishing, antiques, wineries, shooting, and more. We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.
