This was our second year coming to Growing Faith Farms and this year was just as wonderful as the first! We were greeted by Joe and Tina upon entering the property and they took the time to lead us up to our site and show us everything, even though we had gotten there well after dark. The bell tent itself is AMAZING. The bed is super comfortable and the provided heater kept it cozy in there all day and night. One thing that keeps us coming back to Growing Faith Farms is the peace and quiet that you get to experience while still having modern conveniences such as running water, HOT water, and electricity. If you’re looking to enjoy beautiful views in a quiet setting without giving up all the comforts of home, Growing Faith Farms is the place to go!

Everything about this site was convenient and fun! Can’t wait to go again!

The bell tents just down the hill from the larger glamping tents are another great option for a stay.

The host were very helpful and made us feel settled. The place is absolutely beautiful with good views of the mountain. The tent was great and the fire wood provided on site is of great value.

Riding the zip line that runs from the main structure down to the patio in the woods — hands down my favorite part!

I enjoyed my stay at the Yurt. The yurt is centrally located around five wineries. All the amenities in the description made the yurt a pleasurable glamping experience. It was magical and peaceful. The sunset and stars truly made the space special.

1 night at Wildwood Heart Farm

It’s not everyday you find a place to camp that feels like home. Wildwood was just that for me. The Mushie Palace is absolutely adorable. Super cozy bedding & perfect pillows. The fireplace has lights that offer a nice ambiance without the heat. The chairs around the fire pit were perfect. The grounds near the sites are beautiful, but the walk down to the mindfulness area, and the creek were even more beautiful. This site was once of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been. I put the fire pit to use and enjoyed hours outside reading. The swim beach isn’t too far from the site, and is a must for hot summer days. Before leaving I got to give the goats and miss Cooper lots of loving. I will most definitely be back soon, hopefully so I can stay longer than just one night.

I brought my friend for his first glamping experience to Basecamp_outdoors and it couldn’t have been better! There is every amenity here to make you feel at home. A full kitchen, hot shower, clean beautiful spacious tent with no bugs, a comfortable bed, a covered kitchen, an out house, a porch and a covered eating area. Plus lighting and heating and cooling. Everything is an easy unload from where you park your cars. Plus, there is an additional area down the path where there is a fire platform. Because it was hot, we skipped the fire and used it more as an extra patio and outdoor room. We spent a lot of time there immersed in the beauty of the forest and sky and listening to the birds and music. The main site is located nearer to the road and we hung a couple of tapestries in the lower eating area for a little extra privacy. The host was very thorough in giving us directions and sending a video to show us how to turn on and use everything. He also checked on us via text through the app to make sure we had everything we needed. It was easily accessible and there is plenty to do in the area as far as hiking and water features. If you’re considering this place, you should book it, I can’t imagine being able to find one better!

Christina and Joe were excellent hosts! It was the perfect weekend getaway. Upon checkin we were greeted to make sure we had everything we needed. Throughout our stay, Joe and Christina made sure to stay in contact and check if we needed anything at all. They were beyond friendly and gave great recommendations to local spots to check out. The property was very clean, including the shower house which provided access to warm water, toilets, and showers. We will be back!

Tina and Joe were very nice! The property is beautiful, but remote! There is electricity and water, as well as very nice bathrooms, but if you're looking for a place that's quick to get in and out of, you may need to look elsewhere. The quiet nights were gorgeous and relaxing. I hadn't been camping in a long time, so there were things I didn't think about, but the location is close enough to Wilkesboro that I could pick those things up at the local DG or Walmart.

I had a fantastic time at Dawn's yurt this weekend. The directions were clear, drive-in was nice, the property was open and peaceful and quiet, surrounded by vineyards. The yurt was super well stocked, even the restroom--which was way nicer than I was expecting for this little getaway! I had a great night sleep & recharge and watched the sun come up in the morning while the birds were singing. :) Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time at Christina's Bell Tent. The scenery was amazing, the hosts were so friendly and accommodating!! The tent was comfortable and so peaceful. We made a stop at Hiddenite Gem mine, a short drive, and found lots of different gems to take home. We will now have to learn how to make jewelry. The new bath house was outstanding. There were individual private shower rooms with heaters. We did not have time for the farm tour but drove by it and it was adorable. It looks perfect for a family trip. We loved our trip and plan to make a trip back soon!!

Where to go

Uwharrie National Forest

Spanning over 50,000 acres, Uwharrie National Forest offers numerous hiking trails, fishing in its pristine lakes and rivers, and off-roading opportunities on designated off-highway vehicle trails. The park also provides opportunities for horseback riding, birdwatching, and mountain biking. Camping options are available at five tent and RV campgrounds through the forest as well as dispersed areas within the forest, allowing campers to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Boone’s Cave Park

About 25 minutes from Mocksville, campers can explore 7.5 miles of trails that weave through the backcountry. Fittingly named Boone’s Cave Park, wander the park’s 100+ acres—just like Daniel Boone did—on secluded forest hiking trails. Then, grab a bite at picnic shelters with stunning views of Yadkin River. Along the river, campers will find fishing spots and easy access for kayaking and canoeing. Keep an eye out for native wildflowers, butterflies, and diverse wildlife, including deer and hawks, as well. Campers can reserve their place in tent-exclusive primitive campgrounds with camping pads right in the park to spend multiple days in the wilderness.

Tanglewood Park

Only about 15 minutes from Mocksville by road, find Tanglewood Park—where campers can set up tents, park their RVs, and enjoy the park’s natural beauty. Explore scenic hiking trails, go fishing in one of two stocked lakes, or try boating and paddling adventures. Golf enthusiasts can also play on the park's championship golf courses. Cool off during hot days at the Aquatic Center, which provides a water playground and a lap pool.

When to go

Springtime brings mild temperatures and excellent weather for hiking and fishing, with some occasional rain showers. Summers can be hot and humid, with temperatures reaching the 80s and 90s—perfect for water-based activities like swimming or boating. Be prepared for potential thunderstorms during summer. In fall, temperatures start to cool down, ranging from the 50s to 70s. Winters can be chilly, with temperatures dropping to freezing or below, but they bring a peaceful and quiet time to campgrounds that remain open.
