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.

1 night at The Rocky Knoll

We arrived at The Rocky Knoll late in the day, during a break in the rain- to find a beautiful vista overlooking woodlands covered in mist with the mountains beyond! The site had a couple of lawn chairs, two picnic tables and benches waiting for us, and if the weather had been drier we would’ve loved to have built a fire in pit with some of available stacked firewood. We have a campervan, so we didn’t use the tent area, but appreciated the care that was taken in making that space easy for pitching a tent. We also appreciated the circular driveway- it was so much more convenient to circle around, rather than backing out. All in, we loved the care invested in the site and the privacy it offered! We’d love to return someday!

Weekend Trip to Papa's Farm

Would highly recommend the Riverside camping location at Papa’s Farm. Two wonderful hosts and couldn’t have been more hospitable and welcoming. Beautiful property and surrounding town! Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Marshall Creek Farm

We stayed in the cabin. It was wonderful having such privacy with it nestled in the woods. Everything was clean and well maintained. They suppled firewood in crates for us to use in the fire pit! It was fun showering under the stars. Luckily, when we were there, it was warm during the day and cool at night so the evening shower water was warmed up by the sun. The bed was very comfortable, and Darin and Beth were kind and very responsive to any of our needs and questions. The location is close to Mt. Airy, Pilot Mountain, and Hanging Rock State Park. All three of which we visited. We plan to visit again soon.

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Site 5 was great, with easy access into the stream. We could see our neighbors to the left, but I imagine you might have more privacy when the trees are fuller. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will be back to check out some other sites in the future!

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

This spot is such a great find! Plenty of space to spread out and nice and private! Host was super welcoming and helpful. We loved how close it is to hanging rock state park.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

We loved the Rocky Knoll! The site was beautiful and was very well taken of. Mike and Lois were super responsive when we had questions and they made our night go smoothly. We are looking forward to coming back soon!

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

This site feels like a state park campground all to yourself! Spacious with beautiful views and a nice breeze. The tent pad was wonderful, and the owners have left comfortable chairs and a nice picnic table to make your camping convenient. We didn’t use the poop shed, but it was adorable.

Weekend Trip to Mimi's Holler

I had a great stay. It was very peaceful and felt secluded. The property is very beautiful and it was nice to have the deck to relax on.

1 night at The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

We camped for one night on our drive north. It was a pretty spot by the pond. Bathhouse was a perk nice clean shower! We did not do the farm tour but I bet that would have been fun.

2 nights at The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

The site was beautiful! Me and my girlfriend had an amazing time! I will definitely be coming back! They have a shop with meats from their farm and a nice toilet, sink, and shower. Very nice people!

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

This was a wonderful place to stay for a peaceful getaway! The petting zoo was out of this world, and I could tell how loved and cared for all their animals are. I can’t wait to come back and potentially stargaze! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet spot to relax and sit by the creek.

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Lovely spot, great price. Close to town, great for kids.

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Fantastic hosts and campsite. Private and relaxing.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

This is such a beautiful site to feel away from everyone and everything while still being close to fun things to do! You can tell Lois and Mike care about this site and it feels like a special piece of land!

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Cheryl so kindly agreed to host our homeschool co-op for a day camping experience. She consistently provided helpful suggestions and updates. The campsite was the perfect place for young kids, especially with access to the shallow creek. The farm tour was an amazing opportunity for the kids to learn about God’s creation in a hands-on way. We all truly enjoyed ourselves!

WE LOVE OUR CAMPERS! ❤ Please respect our land by not bringing firewood from off-site and burning it here. We are a working farm that allows camping, not a campground.

Our new CAMP STORE offers firewood (delivered to your site!) , meats and eggs from our farm, Tallow & lard (both rendered right here!), drinks, Amish made ice cream and jams/jellies/preserves, hammocks, hammock chairs, smoked dog bones, soaps (made right here), rentals of: cast iron cookware, a tent, Coleman stove, fishing poles, ... and MUCH MORE! Please note that all our sites are reserved with a one vehicle limit. Some sites are large enough to accommodate additional vehicles but each additional vehicle will incur a $10 per night charge. Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store. Check us out for your next camping experience. We promise we will do everything within our power to make it great! Two new nicely wooded sites with pond view are now available to provide easy access even during periods of heavy rain. One is already set up with a new shade tent so you don't even have to bring your own! 🏕 Looking for a camping experience with a little luxury to boot?

You will have access to a fire ring and picnic table (located at each site), firewood for sale on site (please do not bring firewood from off-site), clean well water (located near the pond), the creek to explore, our stocked pond to fish, and wooded trails to hike. Once roamed by Native Americans and now farmed by the same family for over 6 generations, Harmon Creek Farm is a working farm of over 150+ acres. Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣 Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, quail, and geese are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well. Like us on Facebook (Harmon Creek Farms of NC) for the latest on what's going on here at the farm. :)
