Stories from the community

1 night at Legacy Farms Leisure Area

Liz, her husband, Tom and son Jake were wonderful hosts. The 43 acre property is beautiful. Next time I will try to stay in the trailer.

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.

3 nights at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

We wanted a quiet peaceful few days someplace to unwind and rest. We found it! The quiet allowed us to get some needed rest and the full hookups and WiFi were a blessing! It was all we could have hoped for. They have about 15 sites total, some for tents, some for boondocking with your rv, some graveled, some grassy, some remote tent sites but only 1 with full hookups and paved. There are several hiking trails, one porcelain flush toilet, a dishwashing station and an outdoor shower for campers to use. The grounds are beautiful and well kept and the hosts are very kind and helpful. If your looking for quiet, peaceful relaxation, we highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to The Pine Tree Retreat

The property is nice and secluded, we were able to get a 35ft 5th wheel camper back to the camping spot. I did drag the rear jacks a couple of times on the dirt road in but nothing major. Caught several bluegill and a couple of small bass. My wife me, and 3 dogs definitely enjoyed the getaway! We will hopefully be back in the fall for some tent camping!

Weekend Trip to The Fern Getaway

Easy to find and very peaceful and relaxing. Definitely a place I would come back to.

Weekend Trip to Black River Camping Ventures

Black River Camping Ventures is a little slice of heaven, especially for paddle sports enthusiasts. The campground was beautiful, clean and quiet. We saw lots of wildlife too! Lisa is the sweetest and made us feel very welcomed.

Weekend Trip to Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Peaceful, quiet, beautiful well kept. Definitely worth the visit. Owners were amazing and helpful. Will be back

1 night at The Fern Getaway

Rustic and woodsy - then the most comfortable yurt to dive into! Greeted by birds and nature on awaking, with no desire to rise from the cushy bed. Enjoy rustic AND comfortable in a great spot.

2 nights at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Great campground! Clean, quiet, and peaceful. No cell service, which isn't necessarily bad! They have wifi if you're in the spots close to the house. Really nicely landscaped, and laid out.

1 night at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Nice camp under the pines. Well maintained with amenities like a clean toilet, firepit and hiking trail. Had the place to myself the night I stayed.

3 nights at Black River Camping Ventures

Weekend Trip to Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

It was a very well kept and easy to access area. Secluded and quiet. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Legacy Farms Leisure Area

We always love staying at Legacy Farms. It’s always a nice peaceful getaway, and allows us to reconnect with each other as a family. The kids love helping out on the farm, and spending time with the animals. As always, Liz and Tom are friendly and accommodating, and very patient!

4 nights at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

From the moment we turned into the driveway we knew it would be another fantastic stay. We have stayed here before and thoroughly enjoyed it and the bliss continued for this trip. We stayed in site 1 again which has full hook ups, concrete pad, manicured landscaping and peace.

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.

Weekend Trip to Black River Camping Ventures

Very clean campsite and facilities (port-o-potty) right next to the stunningly beautiful black river. I appreciate that it was open for a last minute decision to stay.

1 night at Legacy Farms Leisure Area

When we arrived we were greeted with a warm welcome and got to see a 2 day old baby horse!!! Waking up to so many animals was also very fun and made for a great morning of pets and smiles. Would definitely come back!

1 night at Black River Camping Ventures

We can't recommend Black River Camping Ventures enough! The campground was absolutely gorgeous and well maintained. Lisa was an incredible host and was very responsive in answering any of our questions and working with us to accommodate our large group. A true gem of a place that many of our group hope to return to in the future!

Weekend Trip to The Pine Tree Retreat

Beautiful land! Plenty of privacy, firewood, and shelter with a beautiful lake as well. The shelter and picnic table were a big plus. Perfect for our family trip, and my dog loved the place too! We will definitely be back again.

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!

Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

24 sites · RVs, Tents30 acres · White Oak, NC

Located just east of Fayetteville exit 49 off I-95, is our lovely, quiet, and secluded 30 acre tract of Southern Yellow pines that we purchased several years ago. Since we love camping so much we decided to carve out 15 campsites for other campers to enjoy. Most of our campsites are gravel and level. We have a couple of sites that are grass for tenters. We have only site 1 that has full hookups. All the other sites are boondocking with water only.

Legacy Farms Leisure Area

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents43 acres · Lumber Bridge, NC

We carved our 43 acre horse farm out of wild swampy land in 2007 and finished the barndeminium in 2008. We started with Hipcamp 6 years ago & enjoy meeting new people. My husband is retired from the Air Force and works full time doing the chores. I retired May 2024 from being a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner at Womack Army Medical Center. I have a side hobby making homemade jams, pickles and flavored goat cheese spreads. We love the peacefulness of where we live...although the weather chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea fowl, peacocks, goats and horses do get a little loud come feeding time. We have different sites, please read each description or message me before you book a stay. All the sites have an 8pm latest check in unless you've stayed with us before. With the cold snap we have been experiencing the RV water source will freeze up over night. Please message me before booking the RV. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade or make our farm more fun to visit.

The Fern Getaway

4 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · SC

This is a place to get away and enjoy nature but you aren't too far from a local grocery store, a few restaurants and a local park. If you are here for the beach, the closest beach and also our favorite is Cherry Grove Beach, only a 30 minute drive. There are a few kayak rental companies we can connect you to if you'd like and we know all the local spots for adventure, food and shopping. Pick a hammock and relax listening to the birds, we also have an outdoor kitchen to prepare food and community firepits to gather around. We want this to be a relaxing getaway, to connect with yourself, others and nature.

Jackson Farm Guest House

1 site · Lodging110 acres · Godwin, NC

This farm has been in my family since Thomas Jefferson was president. I began management of the farm in 1980 and remodeled an old farmhouse into a guest house for a family or for couples to find an escape from the chaos of city life and the modern world generally. The house sits on a gated, 10 acre wildlife preserve, beside a 3 acre pond, which adjoins our 100 acres of fields and forest. Our entire farm is in a conservation easement so it can never be developed, and we are one of the few private properties on the NC Wildlife Resources Commission "Birding Trail"; we have documented over 100 species of birds here in different seasons of the year. Our pond, private for guest house users, offers good fishing and we provide a boat. We also have over 2 miles of walking trails through our woodland and along the pond. Although we permit no outdoor fires, we do have a fireplace in the house and furnish free, seasoned firewood. We grow organic vegetables, alliums, and fresh herbs, along with a great many flowers to attract pollinators. Because some of our guests are allergic to pet dander, and because pets often frighten the wildlife away, we do not accept any pets here, nor do we own any ourselves. Learn more about this land: We offer a two bedroom private guest house with central heat and air, situated in a 10 acre, gated wildlife preserve which adjoins our 100 acre farm and which overlooks a private fishing pond (with boat). We promise no TV, radio, newspaper, telephone or internet connection, but do have a small library in the house. For the convenience of the ladies, the kitchen has no stove but does have a large, sheltered smoker/grill (charcoal provided) on a covered patio beside the kitchen, a full power microwave, and all other kitchen amenities, including a French press with a bean grinder and electric kettle; we also provide our own blend of fresh roasted coffee beans as well as tea, herb tea, chocolate and popcorn. The bathroom has a large claw footed tub and we provide bath salts and fresh organic herbs for the bath. There is a working fireplace and we provide seasoned hardwood for it. Guests may enjoy our farm which offers about two miles of woodland trails and abundant wildlife and birds but no domestic animals. NO pets are permitted at the guest house because many guests have allergies to animal dander. In short, it is a place for individuals, couples and families to find ease, to enjoy a bit of peace, quiet, and privacy and to go home refreshed, restored, relaxed. The house is so private it has a shower on the screened porch overlooking the pond. We are a little over an hour from historic Wilmington and several beach resorts, only 30 minutes from Fayetteville with museums, a fine botanical garden, and Fort Bragg, and very close to both I-95 and I-40 interstate highways. We are an hour south of the state capital city, Raleigh, with many attractions. TEMPORARY RESTRICTION:
