Stories from the community

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We love the Tent that we stayed in. We are lucky that it was only us who were staying in the whole place that day. The place is very spacious and beautifully decorated. We had our dinner in their bbq station and we enjoyed it! A lot of activities around to enjoy. We will definitely be back next time and will bring more friends to stay!

1 night at Horse Ranch-a short drive from 95

It is a nice and quiet space with horses and longhorn cows. Would go there again for one night.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

Fantastic. Well thought out design of cabin and space. Would recommend to friends looking for an easy outdoor getaway.

Weekend Trip to Red Farm LLC

Perfect spot for a weekend of baseball. Very friendly. We had a great stay.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

This was a great experience. I needed to get away and be one with nature and this was perfect. The accommodations were wonderful and everything was right where I needed to be with the privacy I needed. I was able to reset myself and find the calm that only exists in a natural beautiful setting. I was so relaxed and able to truly find my joy and peace. The cabin being screened in helped keep out the critters and let the nature vibes in. I would highly recommend this place to reconnect with Nature and find your inner peace.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience

The Yellow Submarine as great. I had a very relaxing time and the property was beautiful. The unit had everything needed for the weekend and never had to leave. Thank you Kathy. Missy and Allan were great as well.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

River Farm on the Neuse provides a unique opportunity to camp in the meadows of a private farm along the Neuse River Trail. It was the perfect site for complete privacy, easy access to the Trail and being in a less commercial campground than what you normally encounter. Emma and family were the perfect hosts and I am sure we will return the next time that we bike the Neuse River Trail.

14 nights at River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I loved camping at River Fam Camp, it was amazing 2 weeks. The host, Emma, and her son James were absolutely lovely! I truly hated having to leave. Gorgeous property and land area. I will definitely be back. James thank you so much for treating me like family, it was a pleasure meeting you and having conversations with you. Look forward to talking with you both soon! Thank you for going above and beyond making me feel welcomed! Much love to you both, Nichole T. & her fab Aussie 5

1 night at Tar River Life

The canvas tent was soooo lovely to come to after a long trip and it was amazing to wake up next to the river to the sound of birds singing. It was easy getting in & out. There were lovely hammock seats in the shade you could stretch out in. Billy & Nikki were easy to get ahold of, too. Wish we coulda stayed longer!

3 nights at River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

Beautiful piece of land with multiple private areas for camping. Convenient access to potable water and a porta-john. The property backs up to the Neuse River Greenway Trail, so it is convenient to ride bikes straight from the site, with a single track mountain bike trail system (Williamson Preserve) about a mile away.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

So much love, creativity, and care has gone into building this very special place to stay, rest and play. I stopped for just one night on my way from Fl to upstate NY, and had a magical and restorative night's sleep in one of the unique and lovely screen houses. Lightning bugs all around, illuminating the forest, and I was sung to sleep by crickets and tree frogs. A battery-powered ceiling fan kept the air moving and everything was nice and clean and fresh and inviting. Lots of thoughtful and clever touches, impressive construction and spacious, considerate setup. the bathroom, showers, and parking are a bit of a walk so each dwelling comes with a golf cart that you can use the whole time you're there. They've just opened in May so everything is brand new. I enjoyed and appreciated it immensely, and will come back any chance I get. I can only imagine what will go into maintaining a place like this, and I hope that they can keep it going and that future guests will get to enjoy it and also have respect for what a special place it is. I guess Jim & Becky have built it with their own family gatherings in mind, and there is definitely that sense of embracing, welcoming hospitality and generosity about it. It's a very beautiful piece of property and it looks like they might be equipped for events such as weddings, which would make sense there. Thanks to Jim & Becky for sharing this special place!

1 night at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

This property was absolutely beautiful, very well maintained, and so peaceful. The owner was so kind and welcoming. No mosquitoes or ticks in sight. Very convenient drive to/from the carrboro area. Hope to stay here again soon!

1 night at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

We really enjoyed our stay! Lots of room for our three large dogs to run, we hiked the trails and they all swam in the pond. Very private and quiet- highly recommended!

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We had a group of young kids and it was the perfect intro into camping

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

This was awesome, it has all the great things about camping. Nice outdoor spaces, fire pits, big communal spaces, but without the 'roughing it' due to air conditioning, nice showers, etc. I'd have a hard time getting my wife to go camping but she'd do this all the time!

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.

6 nights at Red Farm LLC

My husband and I love fishing on the stocked pond. Monte is super accommodating. We stayed for the week this time, the first time we stayed for a weekend and enjoyed it so much, we had to return.Sitting around the fire ring in the evening is so relaxing. I would definitely recommend this site.

1 night at Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

This was my first time camping solo, and I could not have picked a better place for it. My site was private and safe, right next to the river....my tent fit perfectly on the platform and there was a firepit nearby. Directions to the campground were clear, I found the place easily. Be prepared to walk a little bit from your car to site#1, but it's a beautiful walk on a trail. Something for every nature lover ..river, meadows, woods, a fruit and veggie garden, I even saw some horses! Bathroom was easy to find and workable, too. Just a gorgeous, quiet place to connect to creation! Cox was friendly and encouraged me to enjoy the campground and hang a while, which I appreciate. Get yourself to Respite on the Round! I highly recommend!

1 night at Private meadow and pond

This was the second time we’ve stayed here and it was just as good as the first. We even got to see our dog friend again which was such a delight. It’s a beautiful quiet property. Has a trash can by our campsite and a kitchen with a bathroom on the property that gives you everything you need. Our host Phillip was also super accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. We’ll definitely be staying here again next time we’re passing through.

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
