Our property is a small hobby farm. The meadow you will be camping in was formed in 1994 when hurricane Fran came through and laid down several acres of hardwood trees. The fallen trees were harvested and the land was cleared and a pond was built and a blueberry patch was planted. Pitch your tent(s) in our private meadow with a small pond on our 21 acre property. You're welcome to fish and walk around the property. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit and the beautiful starry nights. We have a very friendly farm dog named Luna that does roam the property and will likely visit you. Chapel Hill, Mebane, and Hillsborough are all short drives from your campsite.

The host Phillip was very easy to show me where to set up. Very beautiful place. And at 20 degrees he sure made sure to check on me the next morning. If your looking for a nice place to relax and get away from everything, but not to far to get to restaurant's and stores, check Phillips place out. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again sir!

We love camping at the blueberry farm! This is our 2nd time coming and we really hope to continue going back each year. The property is so peaceful and beautiful, especially in the fall. We love that there's a bathroom and fridge we can use. Our dogs love the pond. We're hope really grateful to Phil for continuing to open his farm to campers. See you next year!

Excellent spot away from the city but not to far out of the way. Right on the water side made for excellent mornings sitting around the fire enjoying coffee and enjoying the view. The host was exceptional with everything from first meet and great to departure. If you want a quite relaxing weekend away I would highly recommend this spot.

Peace and quiet place to relax and fish for shiners. Plenty of firewood if you have a chainsaw. Plenty of flat ground for 10x10 tent. Shaded by the lake and sunny by the field.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We arrived on Friday and were delighted to see the open fields, rolling hills and colorful canopy of fall trees. The fire ring, picnic table, and garbage were all conveniently located by the campsite. Setting up was easy and most of the land is flat, but not level. My dogs LOVED swimming in the pond and the hot outdoor shower was a plus for clean-up. Phillip and his wife were delightful hosts and Luna is a sweet pup. We will definitely return!

Phillips place is delightful! The campsite by the pond is a perfect spot to set up for a trip to the area. The site is incredibly well kept and Phillip ensures there is a clean trash can right there as well as a good stack of wood for fires. Access to the outdoor shower and indoor bathroom and dish washing area are also huge! His property is close to good hikes both in the Alamance County area as well as in the Triangle. He communicates clearly and promptly and couldn’t be more accommodating!
