Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

The site was great nice view and very spacious. There was a ton a firewood which was extremely convenient for $3 a bucket. Much better than any store price. Great little site for a weekend getaway definitely recommend. Will most definitely be returning with kids more often ! Thanks guys for offering this wonderful site!

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

Amazing place! Laura and Steve were great hosts. We had a great weekend with them. The toilets at each site made it very nice. We didn’t have a shower bag but they provided one. We didn’t catch a catfish in the river. Amazing place to stay we will definitely be returning!

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

If you love old school camping, and don't want to spend it on a state park this place is great. The host is kind and attentive, she will make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable.

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

Unique elevated campsite with lovely view. Helpful hosts, prompt response. Detailed description, photos & directions are spot on. Dry stacked rock fire ring makes for easy & safe campfires (and is beautiful). Lois & Mike, so appreciate you sharing your land. Very special.

2 nights at Marshall Creek Farm

A clean, private fun play area for you and your pets. Myself and two dogs had a great time. Nice trail to the creek. A lot of deer around and the best thing very quite with poor cell service. No distractions from the sounds of nature. Tim

Weekend Trip to Papa's Farm

This place was great. Its easy to find, large camp sites. The animals give it an added fun factor. They are very personable. We loved our stay here and will go back again

3 nights at Marshall Creek Farm

Wonderful! The area was perfect for anyone with a family who wanted an open place with water and electricity, but wanted the privacy. The sound of the creek and wildlife was tranquil at night. The kids loved the open fields and campfire pit.

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

The shire horses and creek to play in were a treat for the kids. Our group enjoyed the location and plan to return, hopefully when the assortment of Hostas are blooming. The Hipcamp description was accurate. Although it is near the highway and hosts residence where you can hear a truck every once an a while, the site is quite secluded. Nice flat open mowed grassy field for camping.

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

Fantastic campground highly recommend the experience very quiet in the evening and plenty of space between campsites. Very friendly folks and will definitely be bringing my entire family back next time.

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

The cozy spot by the pond offers such a peaceful escape from everything! With the beautiful greenery all around and the soft sound of leaves rustling, it’s no wonder this lovely little oasis is cherished so much! It's the perfect place to unwind and enjoy nature.

3 nights at The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

The site was better than expected and nestled next to a small creek. While I stayed initially during the week when hardly anyone else was there, the weekend brought more campers but the sites were far enough away to offer some privacy. Cheryl and her family were great!

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

I loved camping here! It felt very private and the site was beautiful to sit in and relax. We definitely plan on coming back!

Toad Hollow is spacious, shaded, and on the riverfront with hammock, picnic table, trash receptacle and firepit. Parking is onsite

Weekend Trip to Carl’s Campsites - Riverside

Beautiful property the Ararat River! Well maintained campsite! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

We really enjoyed our stay at this campground! We stayed at site #10, which was a bit secluded—exactly what we were looking for. It was the perfect spot for our group of 11, with 6 tents and 2 cars fitting comfortably. One of the highlights was the adorable "welcome committee" of chickens that greeted us on arrival—such a fun and memorable start to the weekend! Seeing all the animals around the farm gave the experience a unique charm that truly sets it apart from other campgrounds. We also bought eggs from the farm, and it was such a treat to have real eggs from genuinely happy chickens—fresh, delicious, and clearly well-loved animals. We later found out they also sell meats from the farm, which we would definitely have purchased if we had known earlier—such a great offering for campers looking to enjoy local, high-quality food. The hosts were incredibly friendly, talkative, and open. They made us feel very welcome and were generous and responsive throughout our stay. It’s clear they genuinely care about their guests and the space they’ve created. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled, and slightly off-the-beaten-path camping experience!

Weekend Trip to The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

I loved the spot! Is right in front of the pond. The bathroom and store is right across from it. Really relaxing!

3 nights at The Rocky Knoll

I want to start off by saying, we would stay here again and likely will. Being the only site made it very private. Yes you can hear noises like ATVs, donkeys, roosters, and people, but there isn’t a human in sight. That’s my goal for camping. If you want amenities, likely you would scroll right past this spot anyway. The rest of the review is just to give you a picture of the experience because that is typically what I am looking for in a review. So you start out by driving down a dirt road, to a dead end up on a little knoll. The view is serene. The site is on top of a bit of a hill, surrounded in woods, it’s nice and spacious, with plenty of land cleared. The fire-pit is built up nice and high, which is key since you get a great breeze up there. We didn’t deal with ANY mosquitos but it is late April and not at the heart of the season yet, so who knows. There are picnic tables, a couple benches, and a couple chairs, plenty of seating. The potty shed is nice for privacy and they made it super cute, but this involves digging catholes which lets be honest is not fun. But once again, expected if you pay attention to the listing description. The only downside I would say is that there aren’t any grassy areas. I’m a big fan of throwing down a camping blanket for seating but that wasn’t realistic here as it was all dirt and rocks. So it was a dirty camping experience. We will bring our camping shower next time to be able to rinse off. All in all, a beautiful and private spot

3 nights at The Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms

We had a wonderful time staying on this beautiful serene property offered by Cheryl and Tim. Along with their family, they made sure every need we had was met so that our stay would be perfect! They even have fresh eggs, meats and firewood on site in their farm store! It was so quiet and peaceful with our site being right by the lovely creek. We walked down a steep little path at our site into the water and enjoyed the scenery up close. I even did yoga on a little rocky sandbar by the small rapids one day! If you want to relax and get away from the busyness of life, this is your spot!

Weekend Trip to The Rocky Knoll

Love this hidden spot! Only 1 site and secluded enough for the perfect family trip. Only gripe is with the surrounding land owners may have a farm of some sort which resulted in an obnoxious barking dog and loud music coming from the same direction, which is at no fault to the campsite owner. Other than that a shovel, lawn chairs, picinic tables, and poop shed was provided at the campsite with clear instructions on taking wood that they had there if needed.

Weekend Trip to Papa's Farm

Really enjoyed our stay on John's farm. Felt like we had half a farm all to ourselves. Easy drives to nearby hiking. John was very welcoming and gave us a great tour of the farm. Definitely would go back.

Weekend Trip to Marshall Creek Farm

I had a great time. Nice quiet set up, dogs were allowed to run, clean and close to Hanging Rock park. The creek created nice ambiance. Will definitely stay there again!

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. :)
