Evan’s place is perfect. It represents Hipcamp and what it was and is supposed to be. A unique glamping experience with everything you need. It’s also near the parkway so the stars and views are amazing

3 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat
I can’t say enough about how great this place is! The property is beautiful, and also secure. I felt safe being there. The different sites are far enough from one another that you don’t feel like you’re there with anyone or on top of each other. The yurt itself (I stayed in the Gnome) was clean and well kept, had every thing I could need or want. It was comfortable and felt very cozy on the chilly nights. Sitting on the deck for breakfast and dinner was perfect. The view is beyond words! Having utensils, propane heat, electricity for basics like charging electronics, and everything I need for cooking was perfect. Add on top of that the little additional things like games, towels, a little rechargeable and portable lamp, and cleaning supplies, this place was perfect! Even if I never left the property it was an amazing vacation with great hiking and a beautiful serene escape. My dogs both loved being able to explore off leash and I never felt like they were unsafe. I’m already planning my trip back next fall with my entire family!

It was a cool little spot! We came in October and the water was low, so if you need water access be sure to ask the lake levels before you go. The yurt had all the comforts of home and Briana was extremely responsive and helpful! She provided water jugs for us so we wouldn't have to haul in our own.

Great spot! You can pack light, as most of what you need is already at the site. Host was very responsive, though we did not need much, as everything was provided. Quiet, peaceful, and private. We had two dogs with us (mine is reactive/fearful) and it was secluded enough that I did not feel that I needed to worry too much during our stay.

Peace and quiet. Loved the lake and the yurt. I said it is a little hard to get down there and back out but since you don't have to take a whole lot it's not terrible.

One of our favorite HipCamp’s to date, Evan and friends are running a legit campground/ retreat here, and it’s really really wonderful! We stayed in the yurt with 2 beds, ‘Wild Fairies Do Yoga’ and found it peaceful and quiet, away from people/other sites and beautifully immersed in the WNC woods. The convenience of showing up and not having to set up a tent/beds but still having the camping experience (campfires, quiet, off-grid) was perfect for us after a long week. The beds were also SO comfortable!!! We did bring some firewood with us because as noted the firewood at the site (and bundles sold by the host) were quite damp. We also brought drinking water and were glad we did because though the site provided jugs of water filled from the nearby spring (and instructions on how to refill), the instructions said it was for cooking and hand/dish washing and we did note that there was some particulate in it (we used it to make coffee, though, without an issue!). We enjoyed all the hikes on site, the waterfall hike and hike up to the peak view, though the latter was less clearly marked (an adventure!). Our kids loved playing the little pool below the waterfall. Evan was so helpful with planning and has kept up an extensive website for his outdoor business (OuterCamp) which has many local hike suggestions, be sure to check that out, there are several in the area of which we enjoyed a few! We will definitely be back, it was just the camping trip we hoped for without the setup work!

I loved staying at the “fairy morvana” yurt! 🧚Really special and beautiful place. It’s set up so nicely with all the camping essentials as well so you don’t have to spend days packing beforehand. Hoping to make this a family tradition!

Weekend Trip to Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora
Loved staying in this yurt with my husband and dog for a few nights. It was private, great to hike around from the property, comfortable bed. Also when our lamp had an issue and we needed more water, they accommodated quickly with a new lamp and jugs of water. It was great to relax by the campfire every night.

This was the perfect setup for a long weekend getaway from Charlotte! The Yurt and the property were fantastic and well stocked. The location couldn't be better, with access to the parkway and numerous trails and waterfalls. We'll definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat
Evan was an incredibly helpful and attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. From arrival to checkout, communication was clear and thoughtful, which really made the experience stress-free.
The space itself is exactly as described — beautiful, peaceful, and set up with care. Photos don’t capture how refreshing it feels to actually be there. The highlight for us was the private waterfall, which felt like our own little hidden escape.
This is the kind of place where you can unplug, breathe deeply, and really take in the surroundings. We left feeling recharged and grateful. Highly recommend both the retreat itself and Evan as a host.

4 nights at Yurt At Lake James And Fonta Flora
The yurt is absolutely perfect and I cant wait to return! We fished, hiked, paddled (both kayak and SUP), foraged mushrooms, napped in the hammock, and completely unplugged! I haven’t slept that well in months. Everything you need is there….including complete peace! I can’t wait to return!
