We stayed at The Pond Site from 11/26–11/29 for Thanksgiving, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The property is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and felt like the perfect escape for a holiday weekend.
Patrick, our host, was incredibly kind and welcoming. He made sure we had everything we needed while still giving us plenty of space to relax. The pond itself was gorgeous, and we loved waking up to the calm water each morning.
The ducks were so fun to watch, and the nearby chickens added to the charm of the place—it felt like a little slice of countryside paradise. The site was clean, spacious, and easy to set up on, with plenty of room for cooking and relaxing.
We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely come back. Thanksgiving at The Pond was memorable and wonderfully peaceful.

Just stayed at Live Oaks Farm and it was wonderful! The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, and the host was so pleasant and helpful. Access to local attractions and Topsail Island was incredibly convenient. A perfect peaceful getaway with easy access to everything. Highly recommend!

Patrick and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. It was my first time in town and Patrick send me a list of dog friendly restaurants/ attractions, as I had my pup with me. Additionally, their mass of land was perfect for my pup to run around freely and safely. The location is about 17 minutes from free parking to a beach which was perfect for us! Will be staying there again if we are ever back in town.

The setting was very nice with lots of space and flexible camper parking under the live oak trees. Nice shade with water and electric hookups. Would definitely return again.

We had a great time at this camp. The host was very welcoming and friendly, he made sure we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The spot was level and beautifully shaded by huge old trees, making it nice and cool on a hot day. Absolutely recommend this location.

Great stay at Live Oaks Farm. We were provided with very detailed instructions on how to find the property which was helpful as we arrived after dark. Patrick met us upon arrival, helped guide us to the spot and even helped us hook up. The site was very quiet and peaceful, we had no issues at all. Plenty of space to walk pets, and there’s a frisbee golf course. Close drive to stores and the main highway. I would definitely stay here again.
