24mi from Summerfield · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging

Located in the tranquil, natural woodlands of our historic family farm. There are 30 acres of hiking trails with remnants of what once was an 80 acre old fashioned family tobacco farm. There are plenty of level areas covered in lush grass and surrounded by trees as old as dirt! The Honeymoon Sweet provides an indoor experience. It was built by my Uncle Frank who cut the wood off the land and milled it into the lumber he needed to make this unique, rustic space. There is a rock fire pit with lots of easily accessible firewood. You can hang out and enjoy mother nature or visit one of the many local tourist attractions like Pilot Mountain State Park, historic Mt Airy with it's charming small town hospitality, Hanging Rock State Park in the Sauratown Mountains affords breathtaking views, hiking trails, waterfalls and fishing. If you are a history buff, we are just a short drive to Bethania a National Historic Landmark, Historic Bethabara founded by Moravians in 1753 or step back to the 18th century at Old Salem home of the famous Winkler Bakery and Salem Tavern that provided lodging for George Washington in 1791.

4. Moore’s Wall Basecamp

26mi from Summerfield · 1 site · Tent, RV

Secluded Basecamp Beside Hanging Rock State Park (Moore’s Knob / Moore’s Wall) Tucked quietly along the edge of Hanging Rock State Park near the Tory’s Den access, this primitive campsite at 1140 Tomahawk Rd, Westfield, NC puts you right at the doorstep of Moore’s Knob and Moore’s Wall. From the Tory’s Den parking lot, you’ll follow Tory’s Den Road all the way up a rugged dirt road to reach the property. The last stretch is rough and narrow in spots, so you’ll want to be comfortable on mountain dirt roads and ideally have 4WD with some clearance. When you arrive, a roundabout dirt driveway opens into a private clearing with a 20' x 20' flat pad—perfect for tent camping or a small overland setup. The land was recently cleared, so it still has a raw, backcountry feel: expect stumps, roots, and uneven ground around the main flat pad, not a manicured campground. It’s quiet, heavily wooded, and feels like your own little slice of the Sauratown Mountains. The real magic is the access: it’s roughly a 200-yard walk through the woods to reach Moore’s Knob Trail, and you’re less than a mile from the base of Moore’s Wall, with all of Hanging Rock’s views, rock outcrops, and classic hiking right at hand. Wake up, brew coffee, and you can be on the trail to Moore’s Knob in minutes without ever getting back in your vehicle. On the property there is an old, abandoned cabin from a previous era. It is not safe or usable—for your safety and liability reasons, do not enter or touch the cabin or attempt to explore inside. Treat it like a posted structure and enjoy it only as part of the scenery. This is a primitive, pack-in/pack-out mountain campsite: Tent-friendly 20' x 20' flat pad in a dirt/forest clearing Roundabout driveway for easy in-and-out turning Border-adjacent to Hanging Rock State Park, with direct foot access to Moore’s Knob Trail Rugged dirt road access – 4WD/high-clearance strongly recommended, especially in wet weather No cabin access – abandoned structure on site is strictly off-limits Recently cleared land, still a bit rough, ideal for campers who like it raw and wild If you’re looking for a quiet, no-frills basecamp for hiking Moore’s Knob and exploring Moore’s Wall, this spot gives you a private, back-of-the-park feel just steps from the trail.

This is my second time here. Great tent site next to the river. They also have a nice bathhouse with hot water. Watch out with the drinking water though. I found some red flakes in it.

A wonderful little campground with a clean shower house. Easy check in and quiet evening to get some rest after a long day. Walked the nature trail to the river and found it easy and scenic. I would stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Ararat River Campground

The bathroom is super clean both for men and women. The site is quiet and the neighborhood is quite friendly. Two things to make the stay unforgettable. 1) the tent site should have water outlet for each station 2) the RV campers should clean their waste deposit on a regular basis. There was one of them that the place smells like piss. Sad to say that it was the only negative thing that almost ruined our stay. But still I would recommend the place for a nights stay. About 7 mins away to Pilot Mountain and 30 mins away from Hanging Rock State Park.

Weekend Trip to 24 On The Mountain

We had an amazing experience at 24 on the Mountain. From the moment we arrived, John — the host — made us feel genuinely welcome. He is friendly, attentive, and clearly takes a lot of pride in this property. You can tell he loves sharing his slice of mountain paradise with guests. The campsite sits high on the mountain with an unbeatable view overlooking Talbott Reservoir. We could see the dam, the water, and miles of gorgeous scenery. Sunsets and sunrises were unreal — the kind of views that photos can’t even come close to capturing. The site was clean, private, quiet, and extremely well thought out. Plenty of room to park and set up, and the layout made it feel like we had the whole mountain to ourselves. We enjoyed the peace, the stars, and the total escape from noise and crowds. John checked in just enough to make sure we had what we needed, but also respected our privacy. Exactly what you hope for in a Hipcamp host. We camp a lot, and this spot is easily one of our new favorites. If you’re looking for a relaxing mountain getaway with breathtaking views and a great host, book 24 on the Mountain. You won’t regret it and you'll love the elevation of 2800+ ft. We will definitely be back. — Tim & Nancy

We loved camping at Garden of Eden! Our little girl loved the play/swing set area. It is secluded enough we felt safe. The sites are spacious and water pressure was excellent. Suzanne was an excellent host and very responsive to any needs or questions we had. We really enjoyed our trip! And will definitely be back and will recommend Garden of Eden to anyone!

We absolutely loved this campground! I can’t say enough good things!!! In a quiet country setting it’s a perfect spot for relaxing. The campground itself is beautiful and the grounds are kept exceptionally clean and mowed… the spots are all pull thru gravel and relatively level which is always a huge plus!! We do camp with small children so we love the fact that the playground area is completely visible from all sites! We enjoyed the large community fire pit as well! Overall we had the best time at Garden of Eden and will definitely be returning soon!!

We love camping at GOE! The sites are so nice- all FHU and nice clean gravel (no mud 😊)! Great land for letting your kids and dogs run to their hearts content. We love how safe and private the property is plus the fire pit overlooking the pond makes for the best evenings.

Hot shower , very nice people, it's set up more for RV and trailer campers, but the one half that is grass is a good spot to set up a tent. Most of the spots had electric which is more than a typical tent spot, so that was nice. Super quiet

Paula and John were super friendly host. They helped make sure that we were all set and comfortable and even shared some squash from their garden. The view from the RV spot was beautiful, and it was very private and tranquil. There was also a nice hiking trail to enjoy. I would recommend this place for folks looking for a private and peaceful place with a nice mountain view!

This campsite offers plenty of privacy and amazing Mountain Views. As there are lots of trees, you would be somewhat protected by harsh weather like rain and sun heat. Plenty of wood to keep the campfire going. Things I would add to make the site better: level the area near fire pit, offer trash services. Overall it was an amazing stay and would visit again.

This is a really special place. We loved the quiet, the view from the campsite, and the overall good vibes on this property. It's situated on a plateau with steep sides down to the Dan River, just across from Primland. It's also not far from Meadows of Dan with little shops with coffee, etc. The fire pit was perfect, with tons of firewood and two Adirondack chairs. Best of all was watching the fading sunset under the tall oaks, while regular fireflies and blue ghost fireflies came out. This area is just stunning and not as well known as Western NC. It's closer to central NC, where we live, and is a faster and more secluded way to get up in altitude and beat the summer heat. You can also check out the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway, famous Floyd, and dog-friendly Chateau Morrisette. Be sure to stop at Lovers' Leap overlook on your way home.
