Weekend Trip to Off Grid Living

We had the best time at this campsite! It was peaceful, quiet, and the perfect spot to unwind. The host was absolutely wonderful so kind and welcoming. She made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. Everything was clean, well-kept, and just felt cozy. We can’t wait to come back again!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We love going to this spot for a quick camping getaway! Phillip is an amazing host, who readily checks-in to make sure we found the camp ground and is super friendly.

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Such a great place to stay! My son and I love it here. Nice and quiet. Will be back

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

My son and I had a great stay. He loved meeting the animals and had a nice relaxing stay. We had everything we needed on the premises to keep us entertained. He loved the cup of strawberry ice cream we bought at the farm store.

Weekend Trip to Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

This place is so beautiful! Amazingly quiet and peaceful. Mike and Scott have left nothing to chance. All of the facilities and grounds are impeccable. Beautiful landscaping, large camp sites. We will definitely come back.

3 nights at Red Farm LLC

The house is very communicative. it was very easy to get into our site and we appreciate being able to enjoy the grounds with our dog. all the sites are right off of a rather busy road with big trucks driving by so bring ear plugs. we really appreciate it that we had full hookups to electricity, water and sewage but we did find the water pressure to be a little low. overall the space is very nice and well kept and an easy spot to stay if you need to drive through or stay in the Raleigh area

1 night at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

First time at a Hipcamp and great experience. Very nice, quite place on full hook up site.

1 night at Ancient Spring Farm

Rebecca was a kind, accommodating, patient host and it was a pleasure to stay on her cute little farm. Definitely would recommend, literally not a single bad thing to say about my experience, thanks Rebecca!!

18 nights at Wooded RV spot with campfire

Very close to everything but yet extremely private space. Erin’s communication was extremely helpful and responsive. Thank you for sharing your property it’s is so beautiful to see all the animals walking through the woods.

1 night at Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

The place was beautiful! The grounds were so well cared for with many special touches. If you like the quiet and listening to birds this place offers both. Be aware phone service is spotty there. So be ready to unplug.

1 night at Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This was really an incredible experience! The campsites are next to a nature sanctuary which you are able to explore once it's closed to the public. There are tons of friendly dogs and cats that spend time with you as you wander. Two cats even stayed at the campsite! Highly recommend staying here, will definitely be returning

4 nights at Idlewild Farm Stays

Easy access, and very quite place to stay. Loved the animals and playground for the grandkids.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway. We brought our dog along, and she had an absolute blast. The on-site amenities—bathroom, kitchen, and a screened-in porch—were a really nice touch. The outdoor shower added to the comfort of the stay. There’s also a small pond stocked with bass, so you can enjoy fishing all day. It’s a perfect place for a family camping trip, with shops and restaurants just a short drive away. We’d definitely return and highly recommend it!

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We camped in Clover and facility are very good and clean. We enjoyed our stay. Kids had lot of fun. Enjoy nearby hiking places like Raven Rock State park, San-Lee Park.

1 night at Benzai Bloomstead

Really peaceful site down by the creek. Under tree cover and shielded from wind in the valley. Would love to come back again

Weekend Trip to Cedar Creek Campground at Elease

Very clean campsite. It was quiet and peaceful. Felt at ease as a solo camper. Bathroom was cute and tidy with a quick charging port, for a handy emergency phone charge. It was easy to find and get around to my designated campsite. They have fire grates that you can borrow for your fire ring and super clean trash receptacles.

Weekend Trip to Legacy Farms Leisure Area

We had such a wonderful time in Liz’s RV! Our kids (ages 6, 4, and 1) absolutely loved getting to see and pet and feed all of the animals. Baby goat Smidge and corgis Harrison Ford and Princess Leia were adorable, the horses were gorgeous, the atmosphere was fun and relaxing, and Liz was friendly and helpful. Definitely do the farm orientation tour!! If you want to do something more city-like, Fayetteville is just half an hour drive away and has a darling downtown and an amazing (and free!) Airborne and Special Operations Museum. The kids are already asking if we can go back to Miss Liz’s farm again!

4 nights at Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

What an awesome property, and wonderful hosts. Lots of space to spread out, disc golf baskets on site, a pond for fishing, not missing anything for a great weekend outdoors. Will go back for sure

Container Experience

3 sites · Lodging4 acres · Graham, NC

I purchased a 1960's ranch home and 4 acres over 5 years ago. I turned the home into The Fab 4 House, furnishing it with authentic Mid-century Modern furniture and naming each bedroom for 1 of the Beatles. I rent it out and it is great for events. However, I needed 1 bedroom accommodations so I purchased 3- 8'x40' shipping containers and turned them into tiny homes. You can rent 1 or all 3. The courtyard in the middle features a Tiki Bar, Beach Scene, Putting Green. I want people to enjoy the in and outside together.
