(Notice - Our driveway was damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene. We have been working to make repairs. For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. Also, we are totally off-grid, which means we do not have RV hook-ups or empty stations. Thank you for your understanding. - Brian)
Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm. Lee's favorite song and the inspiration behind our name is "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary. A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.
The camping options are flexible, ranging from prepared campsites along both Little and Deep creeks with composting outhouses nearby, to "Camper's Choice" options where you may hike in or drive in and create your own camping experience. Please note that since the "Camper's Choice" options allow freedom to select hike-in or drive-in options, the exact distance to nearest outhouse may vary.
There are 144 acres to explore so campers can set up a secluded getaway or cluster together in a group.
We are flexible and can work with you to create a camping experience that suits your needs.
Learn more about this land:
Honah Lee Farms has over 140 acres of woods with open fields distributed throughout. We are bordered to the south by the Flat River, to the west by Deep Creek, and to the north by Little Creek. Most of our campsites are nestled in the trees along one of these bodies of water and all campers have access to the 10 foot waterfall area where Deep Creek runs into the Flat River.

I was with a small group. We booked several sites and had the whole camp for our group. We had a great time. We gathered around the campfire to share stories and beverages. My tent vestibule faced the water. It was wonderful view to wake up to.
Lillington was a short drive to pick up supplies and eat at a diner.
Host Sean was friendly and came to visit and share his story.
Our group will probably make this and annual destination.

We want to shout from the rooftops how special this place is, while simultaneously keeping it close to our chest so it doesn’t become too popular…😂
One of the most special spots we’ve been to in a while.

Weekend Trip to SXPHW Country Club Camping & Events
Beautiful spot! This was our first time in the area, and we stayed overnight in the cabin. We loved it—if you’re looking for a peaceful, serene place to relax, this is it. The cabin has a simple aesthetic, very comfortable, and has gorgeous views of the property. Wes was a great host and immediately responded to anything we needed. We wish we could have stayed longer, but will definitely be back again soon!

Weekend Trip to SXPHW Country Club Camping & Events
We had an absolutely amazing stay at this glamping site and couldn't have asked for a better experience! The space was incredibly clean and cosy, offering the perfect blend of comfort and nature that our dogs thoroughly enjoyed exploring. One of the highlights was definitely the company of the friendly resident cats, who made the atmosphere feel even more welcoming. The amenities were top-notch, but what really set this place apart was the flexibility; being able to add guests allowed me to host a birthday brunch for my girlfriend that turned out perfectly. With 10/10 weather and a 10/10 location, it was a flawless getaway that we won't soon forget.

I loved staying at this property! Wes and his wife are wonderful hosts and the farm is beautiful. There are a lot of animals there and I got to see the baby lambs. There’s no noise as there was plenty of distance between you and them. The only thing I heard was the geese and crickets. Wes’s directions were clear. It was a wonderful experience..

Weekend Trip to JE Eutopia
I had an amazing stay here and would absolutely come back. This glamping cabin truly had everything you could need for a comfortable getaway generator, fan, lighting, heated blankets, a camp stove, and a great fire pit for relaxing in the evenings. One of my favorite touches was the lovely private bathroom, which made the whole experience feel like the perfect mix of camping and comfort.
As a single woman traveling alone, I also want to mention that I felt very safe and comfortable in the space the entire time, which made the weekend even more relaxing.
The location was perfect. It’s about 30 minutes from Durham, where I went to a comedy show Friday night, and close to beautiful hiking at Eno River State Park on Saturday. It ended up being exactly the peaceful getaway I needed.
It was a beautiful March weekend, and this spot was the perfect place to unplug, enjoy nature, and recharge. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing glamping escape. 🌿🔥🥾

We loved the unique experience of camping in the middle of a grove of pine trees! There is a clearing that is more than large enough for us to park our camper van. We set up chairs around the fire pit and had a beautiful sunset view. There is another campsite in a different part of the property, but there was plenty of space and privacy from all the pine trees so we didn't even hear the other group.
The pine needles all over the ground made for a lovely ground cover that was soft on our dog's paws. Next time I would like to explore more of the trails all over the property. Overall, this is a really peaceful space yet super convenient to Chapel Hill and Durham.

Fantastic land to have a peaceful and relaxing trip on. I was impressed with the pit toilet is was a short walk from the campsite and kept in nice order. The only thing 'negative' would be don't expect any cell service. But that wasn't a bad thing for me I thought it was a great forced disconnect from the distractions of the outside world. I will 100% be coming back.

Fantastic, just what we were looking. Secluded and private is the key words. I don’t think we saw anyone else the whole stay. I did talk to Bekah once on the phone who was very friendly. Now make no mistake. The campsite offers nothing but open land and tranquility. Town is about 15 minutes away, but take in what you need as there is no hookups of any kind which we knew going in.

This place is comfortable, peaceful, and had several flat places to pitch a tent. Mark was very responsive and his directions were clear. One hint - there is a bright street light near the trampoline. It did not bother us but you should know.
All in all we recommend staying here.
