Our new BATHHOUSE is now completely functional with toilet, sink and SHOWER Please respect our land by not bringing firewood from off-site and burning it here.

4. Moore’s Wall Basecamp

23mi from Kernersville · 1 site · Tent, RV
Secluded Basecamp Beside Hanging Rock State Park (Moore’s Knob / Moore’s Wall) Tucked quietly along the edge of Hanging Rock State Park near the Tory’s Den access, this primitive campsite at 1140 Tomahawk Rd, Westfield, NC puts you right at the doorstep of Moore’s Knob and Moore’s Wall. From the Tory’s Den parking lot, you’ll follow Tory’s Den Road all the way up a rugged dirt road to reach the property. The last stretch is rough and narrow in spots, so you’ll want to be comfortable on mountain dirt roads and ideally have 4WD with some clearance. When you arrive, a roundabout dirt driveway opens into a private clearing with a 20' x 20' flat pad—perfect for tent camping or a small overland setup. The land was recently cleared, so it still has a raw, backcountry feel: expect stumps, roots, and uneven ground around the main flat pad, not a manicured campground. It’s quiet, heavily wooded, and feels like your own little slice of the Sauratown Mountains. The real magic is the access: it’s roughly a 200-yard walk through the woods to reach Moore’s Knob Trail, and you’re less than a mile from the base of Moore’s Wall, with all of Hanging Rock’s views, rock outcrops, and classic hiking right at hand. Wake up, brew coffee, and you can be on the trail to Moore’s Knob in minutes without ever getting back in your vehicle. On the property there is an old, abandoned cabin from a previous era. It is not safe or usable—for your safety and liability reasons, do not enter or touch the cabin or attempt to explore inside. Treat it like a posted structure and enjoy it only as part of the scenery. This is a primitive, pack-in/pack-out mountain campsite: Tent-friendly 20' x 20' flat pad in a dirt/forest clearing Roundabout driveway for easy in-and-out turning Border-adjacent to Hanging Rock State Park, with direct foot access to Moore’s Knob Trail Rugged dirt road access – 4WD/high-clearance strongly recommended, especially in wet weather No cabin access – abandoned structure on site is strictly off-limits Recently cleared land, still a bit rough, ideal for campers who like it raw and wild If you’re looking for a quiet, no-frills basecamp for hiking Moore’s Knob and exploring Moore’s Wall, this spot gives you a private, back-of-the-park feel just steps from the trail.
