Camping is available in the field or in the 17 acre woods.

Welcome to Oak Grove - a property with a 100 year old de-consecrated Episcopal church, beautiful woods, and amazing grandfather oaks. A common site for weddings, drum circles, and other metaphysical and spiritual happenings, the property has a labyrinth, a free expression chalkboard, a Zen sand box that are free to use. 

A short walk down the wooded trail brings you to a small clearing with a central fire pit and several areas suitable for a tent. Situated close to a road, traffic can be heard but easily tuned out, particularly as the road gets much quieter at night. The woods are next to a large open field that is great for star gazing.  Bring your hammock!

Serenity Farm

An off-grid experience with on-grid elegance. Owned by a yoga instructor and NYC transplant, this is a dream come true. The farm was purchased to raise my children, and when they went off to college, it was converted into my dream of owning a retreat center in nature, hosting yoga and wellness events, and sharing the peace of nature with my community.It seems very rugged when you enter, but when you get to the end of the driveway, the meadows open up, to reveal a small organic garden and a firepit. We have a covered pavilion for community yoga, an onsite walking path, and access to the Mountain To Sea Trail.Learn more about this land:This is the spot for campers looking to get away into nature, without "roughing it".  We make sure that you feel taken care of when you are here...We are less than an hour from downtown Durham, Raleigh, Wake Forest, but you are totally surrounded by nature and feel that you are far far away.  There is easy access to elegant, well-stocked restrooms (hand lotion, hair ties, scented soap).  In the evening our farm turns into a magical place with twinkling lights.  We have a yoga studio, yoga events, and even a yoga+brunch.  Our property is well maintained and sprayed for mosquitoes.  There are many community gathering areas, as well as a designated area for cooking.  You can walk our new trail, hang out in hammocks (that you provide), or take the 9-minute drive to the marina for some paddleboarding, canoeing, or kayaking.  If you are in the mood for a hike we are steps away from the Mountain to Sea Trail.You may join one of our scheduled classes, or book a private class for yourself and/or your group. You may also book some time in our authentic Nordic Sauna. If you choose to order breakfast, it is served in a private outdoor area.
