Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We love going to this spot for a quick camping getaway! Phillip is an amazing host, who readily checks-in to make sure we found the camp ground and is super friendly.

1 night at Private meadow and pond

This was the second time we’ve stayed here and it was just as good as the first. We even got to see our dog friend again which was such a delight. It’s a beautiful quiet property. Has a trash can by our campsite and a kitchen with a bathroom on the property that gives you everything you need. Our host Phillip was also super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be staying here again next time we’re passing through.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Very quiet and peaceful. Not far for supplies. Awesome hosts made sure we were comfortable and stocked on firewood. Definitely would recommend!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway. We brought our dog along, and she had an absolute blast. The on-site amenities—bathroom, kitchen, and a screened-in porch—were a really nice touch. The outdoor shower added to the comfort of the stay. There’s also a small pond stocked with bass, so you can enjoy fishing all day. It’s a perfect place for a family camping trip, with shops and restaurants just a short drive away. We’d definitely return and highly recommend it!

1 night at Benzai Bloomstead

Really peaceful site down by the creek. Under tree cover and shielded from wind in the valley. Would love to come back again

Weekend Trip to The Cozy Heron Glamping

The wagons were so nice and conveniently located right near the restaurant and water. The beds were super comfy, and the room was so cozy. The AC worked perfectly keeping the place cool. The gas black stone grill was a nice surprise!! The staff kept the bath houses fully stocked with towels and other essentials. And the restaurant next door was a huge hit. The staff was lovely and very accommodating for our large crew of 17 for lunches and dinners. We will definitely be back!! We had the best time!

Weekend Trip to Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

Site 5 was a nice secluded area where we could relax and enjoy the day. The lake had some good fishing spots and we enjoyed making a bonfire at our campsite. Would recommend to anyone who wants to leave the stress of the city for a few days

Weekend Trip to Benzai Bloomstead

Morgan’s spot is so wonderful, calm, and secluded. It was just the ticket for a spot to have a pure nature reset.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

This is a beautiful spot, secluded but not too inconvenient off the highway, gorgeous spot to wake up. Phillip was friendly and helpful, and his dog Luna is a delight! We definitely hope to return.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We enjoyed staying here! It was beautiful, peaceful, and, when we were there in May, there were very few mosquitoes. One down side is that we were in direct sunlight until 7:30 pm, although plenty of sunlight is to be expected when camping in a meadow. If we stay there again in the summer we will definitely bring some sort of canopy.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Wonderful, lovely spot. Convenient to Durham. Glad we found it. Frogs will sing you to sleep, and the birds will welcome you in the morning.

Weekend Trip to Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

Great place. Very quiet, secluded. Lots of sounds of frogs, birds and even a beaver. Sean even gave me some fresh eggs upon my arrival. Recommended.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We had another great weekend at the meadow. The grandkids fished and play all day and enjoyed their s'mores at night around the campfire. The site includes the use of the campers cabin with a bathroom and sink along with the outdoor shower. Those extra comforts make it a special place to enjoy the camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Super beautiful place, private and has pond and bathroom. Well maintained!

1 night at Private meadow and pond

Phillip's property was absolutely perfect! Great shade throughout the day, but plenty of sun around too for solar or warming up after a chilly night. The most private/peaceful hipcamp on my journey this spring. The outdoor shower was perfect with plenty of hot water. The small bathhouse was so nice, with fridge and freezer space if needed as well. (Every hipcamp should offer this to travelers!!) I slept soundly after watching fireflies dance around the pond and listening to the frog symphony. I absolutely hope to stay again sometime!!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We love visiting this camp each year. Its a joy and so wonderful to work with the host.

2 nights at Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

So we really enjoyed Scottview lake! We picked our campsite based on other reviews because there wasn’t a lot of pictures. We pulled up and the park owner met us out there and showed us where to go. Campsite 5 is in the woods and you either need a small vehicle to get in there or either hike your stuff down. If you like to be excluded from others, campsite five would be perfect for a small campsite. But the owner give us permission since no one else had scheduled to stay in any other lot that we wished. I would have to say that campsite for is by far the best site at Scott view Lake. It has its own little private fishing Cove and a nice fire pit and plenty of room. The area was extremely large and was really nice and the kids enjoyed catching fish. No water or electrical hook ups, but the owner allows folks to fill up water containers, which we done. This place is awesome and it will not be our last trip there that’s for sure. Plenty of sun for solar, charging, and plenty of shade for sun covering. If we stayed again, we would definitely stay in campsite four because I felt like it was the best campsite there. I hope this helps everyone in the future, but I definitely recommend this area and this place for camping for anybody looking for a private safe and quiet campsite.

1 night at Private meadow and pond

Amazing spot with a great host! Would come back 100% in the future.

Weekend Trip to Scott’s Lakeview Camp and Park

This was my second time here and I had a wonderful trip. It’s so lovely being able to stay right by the water, super peaceful and lots of lovely wildlife. Sean is such a wonderful host and I can’t wait to come back!

Private meadow and pond

1 site · RV, Tent21 acres · Mebane, NC

Our property is a small hobby farm. The meadow you will be camping in was formed in 1994 when hurricane Fran came through and laid down several acres of hardwood trees. The fallen trees were harvested and the land was cleared and a pond was built and a blueberry patch was planted. Pitch your tent(s) in our private meadow with a small pond on our 21 acre property. You're welcome to fish and walk around the property. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit and the beautiful starry nights. We have a very friendly farm dog named Luna that does roam the property and will likely visit you. Chapel Hill, Mebane, and Hillsborough are all short drives from your campsite. We cater to familes and small groups, NO PARTIES!
