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.

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 Hidden Crick Farms

We had a comfortable and peaceful night. We liked the mowed trail around the fields.

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.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

3rd time staying on this property and this is the second site I've stayed at. Great site tucked away on the property which gives a nice secluded feeling. I heard more car noise at this site compared to the other but it was very minimal and not very disruptive. It's not something that should deter you but if you want that feeling of middle of nowhere then consider upper deep Creek or lower deep Creek instead. Gists are always great and the land always has something special to offer. Thanks again!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Lovely campsite! Right by the creek, nice and spacious and also very private. Mike was a wonderful host. He greeted us when we came and showed us the very cute donkeys. We had a great time here and really enjoyed the getaway! Will definitely recommend

2 nights at Honah Lee Farms

Great site! Private yet close enough to Durham and amenities if you want get around! Lots of wildlife too!

2 nights at Oak Grove Retreat

This is truly a peaceful, beautiful place to camp and just be. The owners and everyone there are welcoming and helpful, they will treat you like family. Everything is so well thought out, including environmentally conscious facilities, places to meditate, a nature trail, and lots of fun, hippie art. The chapel is the best part, especially the light coming through the windows and the drums. Definitely planning on coming back, with more people next time. It truly feels like sacred ground.
