Tent

1 night at The Rocky Knoll

Great views. Great hosts. Very good directions to location, had no problem getting in or out. Perfect for hammock camping

2 nights at The Rocky Knoll

Stayed two nights in my overlander trailer. Good location for a base camp to day hike Hanging Rock S.P. and Pilot Mountain. Reasonably close to Winston-Salem. Everything in HipCamp description is accurate. Good, flat, pull through area to park rig and nice, flat, large pad for one large tent. Probably tight to make turns for larger RV. All clean and orderly. Nice long-distance views. Good amenities (as described) -- plenty of room, fire pit and wood, two picnic tables, etc. "Poop shed" is just that (a shell of a porta john) but IS NOT a privy or outhouse. Some very minor road noise and farm animals, but not bothersome at all. I will definitely stay again for the purposes of my visit.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

A hidden gem! Loved the view, the amenities, and not having to share the space. Will definitely keep the rocky knoll in mind for future trips!

Weekend Trip to Wild Toad Lake

Our annual trip to Wild Toad Lake was once again a success. Kids and adults alike spent most of the day splashing around in the water - it’s paradise!

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

This is, hands down, the best spot we've found using Hipcamp! The hosts are incredibly friendly and offer a ton of free firewood, a port-a-porty and garbage cans. The camping site is humongous and we enjoyed all the fish and crayfish in the creek. The bestest part is the 2 four legged puppers that hang out with you! We loved our stay soooo much, we will back many more times down the road!

Weekend Trip to Papa's Farm

This property is a great spot to relax and enjoy the view of Pilot Mountain. John is an excellent host, very welcoming and communicative. When we walked down to the farm area to pick up the eggs we added onto our stay, he showed us around the farm and introduced us to the animals. There’s also a really nice trail to a creek side swing. We were really impressed and hope to get back again!

Weekend Trip to Wild Toad Lake

Our second trip to Wild Toad Lake was absolutely perfect. My only issue is that I did not book more than 2 nights. We are hoping to come back next year for longer. This place is paradise and ran by some very kind and thoughtful folks. I cannot wait to go back!

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

This site was fantastic! Very well maintained and it’s apparent the hosts take pride in their site. Will definitely be back!

3 nights at Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

We absolutely loved our stay at site #6! The whole property was gorgeous and having such easy access to the river was perfect for us. Our dog absolutely loved being able to run free and we played in the river a good bit . We were the only campers there so it was incredibly peaceful . Definitely a 10/10 experience

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

This was a beautiful campsite with a fabulous view and well maintained amenities. The tent pad was a good size (we had an 8 person tent), firewood was convenient and dry, and the poop shed was designed well. Our family took advantage of Hanging Rock state park too which was only 30 minutes away. I would definitely come back!

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.

2 nights at Kohler Farms-A Shire Horse...

I don't want to be cheesy, but my experience here was truly magical. Just tucked away enough to feel secluded but close enough to the hosts' house and civilization to feel safe. You're just across a small creek from the horse pastures. The horses were incredibly friendly with both me and my dog (who kept a curious but respectful distance.) The site itself was well prepped for guests and would be great for large groups but also felt perfectly private and peaceful for a single camper. Couldn't recommend enough!! Will be back!

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.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

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!
