Our little private campground is a hidden jewel in the making. Each campsite is private. We are not a parking lot like so many campgrounds are these days. We are still currently working on infrastructure but are willing to host campers that are self sufficient at a reduced rate for now. We do have a fun play ground, hiking trails, a steam we lovingly named Alligator Gore (to keep the little ones out of the mud). We are pet friendly. Each site has a fire ring or fire pit. We have a full bathroom available. We have a small camp store. We have group camp sites, pull through RV / Camper sites and a few glamping cabins. Located only 40 minutes from the NC coast and much more affordable and less crowded. We are still growing so we do not have a pool yet but will have one in the future. We do have a kids and youth program with weekly crafts and other activities. Picnic tables are available on some sites. Almost across the street is a wonderful boat ramp and fishing spot on the Cape Fear River. Canoe down to a sand bank about a mile down river and have a romantic picnic. A Celtic themed restaurant, the Mad Boar, is just a 10 minute drive if you are looking for a unique farm to table experience. And Duplin Winery is just 15 minutes away with tastings and tours. Located just 10 minutes from I-40 off US 41 we are easily found. A diamond in the rough.

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary Farm
Our time at The Secret Sanctuary was amazing. James and Sola were very accommodating for our short visit, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed and more. They let us spend time with them on the farm and interact with the animals. We learned so much about the animals and how a farm works: James and Sola also taught us about plants that grew wild on the property and about their greenhouses. The camping area was awesome, a short hike from the farm it is almost a completely different world. The cabin was cozy and had everything we needed to sleep comfortably. James started a fire for us, brought all of our things from our car via four wheeler and made sure we had what we needed. This was one of the best experiences we have had camping like this, our only regret is not staying longer! Thank you James and Sola for an amazing visit, we will be back to see you soon!

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary Farm
Words can’t express how wonderful their campsite is! The cabins have comfortable beds, there is everything and anything you would need to stay for a weekend or longer. All you need to bring is food , whatever comfort items you personally want. They have everything! They have grills, fishing equipment, kayaks, life vest, firewood, power to charge phones, bug spray, fans, grilling/ cooking equipment. This is a once in a lifetime place. It is such an amazing special place, tucked back in the woods next to a creek with plenty of shade, chairs , fire rings , shower , camp toilets, dock to fish off of. Plenty of catfish, bowfin, bluegill, bass to find. Each cabin is slightly bigger than the bed , it has solar powered lights that also can charge your phone. Private camp toilets, shower that is from the creek water , and the peace and quiet is unimaginable. James and Sola are amazing people, the nicest people you will find. Anything you need they are there to help. Their farm is a sanctuary that they tend to with animals that are kid safe , chickens, horses, goats and many more. The pride and love they have for their property for your camping adventure is worth every second you are there and every penny. Perfect for romantic spot, a getaway, mental health, whatever your reason is this is the place for you. HIGHLY recommend. The solitude and experience is unbelievable. Message them for any questions and they are quick to help.
James and Sola , thank you again! I wish yall the best

With kids
Nick's Nook was exactly what we needed - a safe place for my kids to play and explore and a comfortable, reliable place to camp for the weekend.
After booking, I was immediately contacted by Ela, letting me know of additional amenities available by the date of our stay and important info to know. The campground was easy to find and located in a quiet area.
Nick promptly greeted us upon check-in and showed us to our cabin. The cabin definitely allowed for the glamping experience with A/C, mini fridge, a light and lots of plug ins for my electrical devices, lock + key. The bed was comfy and place was free of bugs/issues
Our site was rather spacious, with our own fire pit and firewood, canopy with picnic table.
For my younger kids, there was a pool, new swingset, zip line, obstacle course, playground and lots of room to explore. They also had an onsite shower and bathroom + are 45 min from the beach.
The neighbors at the campsite were adequately spaced from each other and we met some really nice folks, especially Nick and Ela's grandchildren. This whole family is so respectful and kind and easygoing.
Also, there was a friendly dog and a few cats on site that my kids loved to play with. We also had record breaking temps and Nick brought us over a fan in addition to the a/c and ice pops.
I highly recommend this site and we will absolutely be back again!

2 nights at The Secret Sanctuary Farm
James and Sola were very nice and welcoming! We stayed at Lokis lookout and enjoyed the serenity! Feeding the animals was a nice welcome to the property, and a great way to start off a quiet camping weekend. We found it super convenient that there was lots of camping equipment for cooking that was made available!

Weekend Trip to The Secret Sanctuary Farm
James and Sola are two very amazing and intelligent people who have an obvious passion for what they do and have here. My husband and I had a very wonderful stay, we learned so much about bees, the different flora and fauna around, and were made to feel welcome and at home. At one point in our trip, my husband and I decided to try kayaking for the first time, and I got very spooked. After that, James took us out, taught us what we needed to know, showed us around the creek, and made us feel safer and more comfortable on the kayaks. We were also taught about some awesome fishing tricks and tips from Sola, and now know how to catch and eel! The trip was so much more than just a stay in someone’s cabin. It was a peaceful, welcoming, educational and spiritual space where we had a great time.
For anyone considering the Secret Sanctuary, I 1000/10 recommend here.
