Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I had a wonderful camping experience here! The location is surprisingly close to downtown, yet it feels like a peaceful escape far from the city buzz. The hosts have two friendly horses, which added a charming touch to the stay. One of the highlights was watching fireflies at night — truly magical! There are several designated camping spots to choose from, and they also allow access to the restroom in their home, which was very convenient. Right next to the site, there’s a scenic cycling and walking trail running along the Neuse River — perfect for a relaxing morning or evening stroll. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick nature escape without leaving the city area!

Weekend Trip to Horse Ranch-a short drive from 95

A fascinating and peaceful visit! Hosts were kind and helpful. There was a rodeo the second night, which was fun and well-organized.

1 night at Honah Lee Farms

I have camped at Hannah Lee’s property several times and always have a great time. The camp is private and quiet. It’s my go to place to camp when I want to get out in nature, but close to home. Brian and Mike are great hosts.

Weekend Trip to Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This place is AWESOME!! Such sweet people who work there, they take their time answering the 1000's of questions the kids had about all the different animals. If you've never been-and you love animals.... THIS is totally worth it!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

The place looked great as always. Nicely trimmed around the camp spots and plenty of room to relax. Great privacy for my dog off leash. He doesn’t go far but he loves the open fields and the creek.

Weekend Trip to Harts Hidden gem

It was very quiet and secluded even though it was right off a small neighborhood. Flat spots to camp with a couple of supplied lounge chairs and a trash can was all we needed. We had a great night looking at the stars.

1 night at Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

I had a great time camping in my hammock at the Sanctuary! It is such a unique place and I loved seeing the wide variety of animals.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite (including the port-a-potty). Beautiful, peaceful, private setting right on the water with a little waterfall nearby. Easy fishing access. Quite magical. Wish we had been able to stay more than one night. Tip: make sure to pack up your food because raccoons may come looking for a treat in the night! We accidentally donated some homemade sourdough bread to their cause. Hopefully they enjoyed it. :)

Weekend Trip to Red Farm LLC

Another great stay with Monte!! Our fur baby loved running around without a leash. We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Man! What an incredible experience. The site was well cared for and next to the River. Mike was tidally awesome. The fishin’ was good. Can’t recommend this camp enough!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

I really enjoyed my time at the lower creek spot! Was peaceful and relaxing I had fun fishing the creek even tho I got several bites I didn’t pull any thing in And I will definitely be coming back.

2 nights at Tar River Life

Site was flat and big.. on the water.... Space between sites were good... Absolutely great place to spend a couple of days at... Definitely recommend... Thanks

1 night at Honah Lee Farms

By far my favorite stop on my road trip! I absolutely want to visit again. Due to my own misunderstanding while booking, Mike was nice enough to offer a quieter creekside spot for my pup and I since I have booked a spot along the trail. I did take the opportunity to bathe in the creek and it was magical! Possibly because it had been 5 days since my last shower, but the views couldn’t be better!

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

Camping here was very pleasant. A nice quiet get away close to home for us but still felt like a get away.

Weekend Trip to Oak Grove Retreat

This Is A Sacred Space. The hosts have intentionally cultivated it to be so. Enter at your own Enlightenment.

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

We (3 dogs, 5 adults) had a great time camping on Nikki’s land!! We brought our pop-up tent camper and had no issues leveling it on the high ground site. The campsite instructions & directions were very clear and easy to follow. The map was a nice touch. This is a great secluded site away from the rest of them, and with a short walk to the river. River is full of blue-gill! We caught and released many fish, and I enjoyed floating in the river. Having some form of toilet, a trash can, and fire pit with 1 complimentary bundle of wood were great touches as well! Only thing that could have made our specific site better would be some type of trees or something to provide shade, as there was no shade, so I do recommend bringing an EZ-up or similar to this site, but I believe the river sites looked well-shaded. Excellent time here and very well maintained space- absolutely recommend and we will be back! P.S. for dog owners- no fault of the land but TONS of ticks here that seemed to not be deterred by Frontline and topical spray- so just be aware!

Weekend Trip to Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This is the perfect combination! The sanctuary itself is amazing, with many many animals to interact with! Whether it’s the exotics from all over the world, or the more common pets and farm animals, there is plenty of opportunity to make friends and learn something! An extra benefit to camping is access to the park outside of normal hours. Highly recommend and this will definitely not be our only visit!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Another great weekend here. This makes 4 or 5 times staying here and we will be doing it again in November. I will always recommend staying at Honah Lee.

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

We had a great couple nights. This place is close to home for us and a new favorite escape! The sites were clean and well-prepared. Nikki and Billy were easy to deal with and made the process seamless. Not sure if I want to tell other people about this little gem.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

Great host and an awesome location. They had everything we needed and were very helpful and friendly.

(Notice - Our driveway was damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene. We have been working to make repairs. For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. - Brian) Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm.

A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.

There are 144 acres to explore so campers can set up a secluded getaway or cluster together in a group. We are flexible and can work with you to create a camping experience that suits your needs. Learn more about this land: Honah Lee Farms has over 140 acres of woods with open fields distributed throughout.
