Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages. Merlefest, the last weekend of April, is a world class Bluegrass festival, is located right in our town. Be sure to look at the activities section below for additional information.

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

I loved spending several nights in the treehouse. I came prepared for colder weather so I had plenty of warm clothes, hand and feet warmers, and propane for the buddy heater and Coleman stove, both of which I used and appreciated. It rained during part of my stay which was magical on the tin roof. The creek babbled. I found dry firewood and kindling prior to the rain, and paired with firewood I brought I enjoyed several campfires. The water accessible pump/kitchen came in handy as the treehouse doesn’t have water or electricity. The attached compostable toilet was convenient and never smelled funky. The cabin is stocked with all the kitchen things you might want for cooking. There were plenty of blankets and I slept snug as a bug in the comfy loft bed. I did rescue a spider or two and released into the wild. As expected for a treehouse in their habitat. Parking for one car was convenient atop a walkway to the treehouse. I enjoyed a farm visit with Elizabeth and learned about her goats horses and more. Her dogs came to visit a few times. Overall I couldn’t have been more happy. It helped to come prepared for the cooler weather paired with Elizabeth’s thoughtful touches. While there are solar lights in and around the cabin, make sure to bring headlamps and/or other light sources. It felt whimsical and dreamy and I can’t wait to return. Thanks Elizabeth!

A really special stay. We were a group of friends from different areas and we loved staying here. Some of us camped and some stayed in the little cabin. The owners can’t be nicer. They’re responsive with communication and every detail is thought out. We had a toddler with us and she loved visiting the animals (horses, donkeys, chickens, goats…) BRP is about 40 mins away, and Boone is 50 mins away. Very convenient. We would love to come back. Thank you for having us!!

Our kids loved our stay. They spent time trying to catch fish in the creek, throwing mud, and tending fire. Mama loved that I could sleep in a bed and that there were plenty of stores nearby for forgotten items. We met goats and donkeys and watched butterflies flit around the garden. It was a great day!

Absolutely loved our stay at RiverNest - we did not want to leave! Had everything we needed and Christine even made us some blackberry cobbler with their fresh berries (thanks again!). The view was beautiful and sitting on the deck was my favorite part - very peaceful and relaxing. Our two dogs enjoyed their stay as well; they loved watching birds/critters from the deck and all the nature trails to explore. It really was perfect - no complaints whatsoever; we'd gladly stay again! (:

We had a great time. It was such a beautiful and relaxing setting - just what we needed to unplug and connect for a long weekend. Elizabeth was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. Our 2.5 year old son had so much fun splashing in the river and visiting with the farm animals. Would totally recommend!!

This little haven was exactly what we were hoping for this trip - immersion in the outdoors with a few more amenities than just plain camping. Elizabeth’s place was so thoughtfully and creatively designed, and it truly was peaceful. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Beautiful setting. On their farm. The two story rental had a lovely view of the (Yadkin) river. The scene was serene and peaceful. The lower level opens to the deck with garage style doors that really made the space feel bigger and brought the nature indoors. We would definitely go back.

Elizabeth and Mark were wonderful hosts. It was such a treat getting to tour their farm and meet the friendliest donkeys, goats, and dogs. They loved the attention, it was so cute. We were even gifted some fresh laid eggs that we had for breakfast the next morning. The treehouse is fully stocked, with a grill, camp stove, pots, pans, dishes, COFFEE, and everything! Elizabeth is also super attentive, quick to respond on the app, and, I can't help but tell this story... We had to call them on our first night to rescue us from a very intimidating spider! We were nervous to ask for help, thinking they might act like we were wimps for not being able to deal with it on our own, but Mark came down decked out in what looked like a beekeeper suit with poison spray, and Elizabeth had her pellet gun ready for battle! It was hilarious and incredible, and we are forever grateful for their bravery and how seriously they took the situation! We would definitely stay here again. Advice for future campers: Bring good lanterns and headlamps and leave your kitchen items at home!

We had a lovely experience at the Babbling Brook Treehouse! We went with our two children, who loved playing hide-and-seek and walking across the slackline. We even met the animals and got a chance to milk a goat! Elizabeth is a GEM—such a kind and welcoming host. I expect that we will return again, and I would recommend it!

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.
