Weekend Trip to Basecamp_outdoors

I brought my friend for his first glamping experience to Basecamp_outdoors and it couldn’t have been better! There is every amenity here to make you feel at home. A full kitchen, hot shower, clean beautiful spacious tent with no bugs, a comfortable bed, a covered kitchen, an out house, a porch and a covered eating area. Plus lighting and heating and cooling. Everything is an easy unload from where you park your cars. Plus, there is an additional area down the path where there is a fire platform. Because it was hot, we skipped the fire and used it more as an extra patio and outdoor room. We spent a lot of time there immersed in the beauty of the forest and sky and listening to the birds and music. The main site is located nearer to the road and we hung a couple of tapestries in the lower eating area for a little extra privacy. The host was very thorough in giving us directions and sending a video to show us how to turn on and use everything. He also checked on us via text through the app to make sure we had everything we needed. It was easily accessible and there is plenty to do in the area as far as hiking and water features. If you’re considering this place, you should book it, I can’t imagine being able to find one better!

Weekend Trip to Container Experience

The Yellow Submarine as great. I had a very relaxing time and the property was beautiful. The unit had everything needed for the weekend and never had to leave. Thank you Kathy. Missy and Allan were great as well.

Weekend Trip to Primitive Farm

This spot was so perfect! The views were beautiful, it felt secluded, and our pup was able to run and play!

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 Golden Spot

Great host. Shady, relaxing FHU site. Private country setting. Conveniently located to the quaint historic village of Gold Hill. I WILL DEFINITELY come back.

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

This spot was the perfect location for our overnight stop in the historic, mining town. The site was level, clean, and charming. This is the way most of us envisioned camping- space in the beautiful outdoors! The host, Paul, was accommodating and kind. We loved this stop and 100% will stay again when in the area.

Weekend Trip to Bear Creek Tee-Pee Retreat

I love the vibe of summer camp this little hidden gem gives. We were thankful to have the place to ourselves for our stay. Overall, I love the communal spaces, the 'bathroom' and the overall just stay. Definitely a bucket list checkoff.

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!

Weekend Trip to The Farm at Long Creek

This campsite had exactly everything we needed including a swimming pond, a fire pit , tables, a canoe, privacy, clothes line, etc. We had a great time meeting friends there and relaxing!

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 Golden Spot

Great spot with beautiful landscape and gazebo. Paul was an awesome host!

Weekend Trip to Primitive Farm

Beautiful views and a quiet relaxing area. Could be a little tight for camper trailers turning in by the trees? And our spot took a little xtra to level up our rig. But a big thanks to the owners for opening up their farm for camping.

1 night at Golden Spot

Paul is a very friendly host and I loved meeting the welcome crew. His dogs made my day. His place is very cute, quiet and peaceful. We a will use this Golden Spot again. Thank you Paul.

Weekend Trip to Ancient Spring Farm

We had a wonderful time tent camping here! This site is incredibly peaceful and private. We also took part in the native plant tour and found the information both fascinating and really really interesting! I highly recommend this Hipcamp spot.

Weekend Trip to Bear Creek Tee-Pee Retreat

Wonderful stay in the glamping teepee. The lawn games, blankets, bug spray (didn't need), chairs, water, snow cone supplies, & warm shower were much appreciated. Jodi was a lovely host and responsive. Our children had a blast and we will be back.

Weekend Trip to Golden Spot

Awesome! Paul has a beautiful property! Water & electric for our 34 ft class A was perfect. We were also pulling our jeep. Plenty of room to disconnect & hookup. Paul was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended

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.

Primitive Farm

2 sites · RVs, Tents54 acres · Stuart, VA

Hi! We're Matt and Kayla! We bought a farm and started learning about farming in 2020 after a good friend of ours passed away from cancer and we started talking through what it would look like to try something we've always wanted to try. We knew nothing about it previously so welcome to our adventure! There are a lot of camping spots on our property and you can choose anywhere you'd like. The top of our ridge called "soil road" used to be the main traveling path back in the settler days. The house at the bottom of our driveway used to be the towns post office, and there is a cave back on the creek where soldiers during the civil war camped out in. We are a working farm during the day so if you choose to walk down the ridge you'll find outside working with the animals or in the flower or produce garden. There is a lot of great fishing in the creek so make sure to bring your rod! We love pets so yours are welcome, and there are a lot of hiking trails and cute towns around us. Learn more about this land: A quiet very private experience on a farm with 180 Blue Ridge Mountain views on top of the ridge or walk down our trail to camp and trout fish on Rock Castle Creek. With clear stars, fireflies everywhere, and a cozy fire, what more could you ask for? Our whole 54 acres is yours to explore during the day to swim in the creek, see our farm animals or take a quick drive to the many surrounding lakes, hiking trails and local towns. Any type of camping set up is welcome from truck tent set ups to converted vans to on the ground camping. The top of our hill is flat so it can accommodate any set up except huge RV's!

Container Experience

3 sites · Lodging4 acres · Graham, NC

I purchased a 1960's ranch home and 4 acres over 5 years ago. I turned the home into The Fab 4 House, furnishing it with authentic Mid-century Modern furniture and naming each bedroom for 1 of the Beatles. I rent it out and it is great for events. However, I needed 1 bedroom accommodations so I purchased 3- 8'x40' shipping containers and turned them into tiny homes. You can rent 1 or all 3. The courtyard in the middle features a Tiki Bar, Beach Scene, Putting Green. I want people to enjoy the in and outside together.
