Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

My son and I had a great time. Wonderful hospitality, giant swing, hammocks, farm animals and a beautiful spot under the trees and stars.

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Such a lovely spot! Bekah was a wonderful host. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Wonderful property and hosts. Perfect for unplugging and relaxing, great walking trails and very dog friendly!

Weekend Trip to Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This place is AWESOME!! Such sweet people who work there, they take their time answering the 1000's of questions the kids had about all the different animals. If you've never been-and you love animals.... THIS is totally worth it!

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We had another great weekend at the meadow. The grandkids fished and play all day and enjoyed their s'mores at night around the campfire. The site includes the use of the campers cabin with a bathroom and sink along with the outdoor shower. Those extra comforts make it a special place to enjoy the camping experience.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

The place looked great as always. Nicely trimmed around the camp spots and plenty of room to relax. Great privacy for my dog off leash. He doesn’t go far but he loves the open fields and the creek.

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

Private, quiet and amazing atmosphere. Hosts were very friendly, helpful and assisted when and if needed. Onsite power (30 or 50 AMP) was great and onsite water, private shower was an amazing touch. Great experience would stay again. Monroe’s from Alaska.

1 night at Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

I had a great time camping in my hammock at the Sanctuary! It is such a unique place and I loved seeing the wide variety of animals.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

Super beautiful place, private and has pond and bathroom. Well maintained!

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Exceptionally clean and well-maintained campsite (including the port-a-potty). Beautiful, peaceful, private setting right on the water with a little waterfall nearby. Easy fishing access. Quite magical. Wish we had been able to stay more than one night. Tip: make sure to pack up your food because raccoons may come looking for a treat in the night! We accidentally donated some homemade sourdough bread to their cause. Hopefully they enjoyed it. :)

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

Man! What an incredible experience. The site was well cared for and next to the River. Mike was tidally awesome. The fishin’ was good. Can’t recommend this camp enough!

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

We rented 'The Whole Enchilada' for 7 families with kids ranging from 4 to 7 years of age. It was the perfect way to initiate them to tent camping and they all loved it. We can't wait to go back. Wes and Kaitlin are superb hosts, very responsive and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Honah Lee Farms

I really enjoyed my time at the lower creek spot! Was peaceful and relaxing I had fun fishing the creek even tho I got several bites I didn’t pull any thing in And I will definitely be coming back.

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

The accomodations were excellent! You would not find a hotel as well appointed as this site, and it still would not contain the ambiance nor character of the setting. I will definitely be staying at Sugarneck again!

1 night at Private meadow and pond

Phillip's property was absolutely perfect! Great shade throughout the day, but plenty of sun around too for solar or warming up after a chilly night. The most private/peaceful hipcamp on my journey this spring. The outdoor shower was perfect with plenty of hot water. The small bathhouse was so nice, with fridge and freezer space if needed as well. (Every hipcamp should offer this to travelers!!) I slept soundly after watching fireflies dance around the pond and listening to the frog symphony. I absolutely hope to stay again sometime!!

1 night at Honah Lee Farms

By far my favorite stop on my road trip! I absolutely want to visit again. Due to my own misunderstanding while booking, Mike was nice enough to offer a quieter creekside spot for my pup and I since I have booked a spot along the trail. I did take the opportunity to bathe in the creek and it was magical! Possibly because it had been 5 days since my last shower, but the views couldn’t be better!

Weekend Trip to Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

Amazing secluded spot but close to town. We will absolutely be back. So incredibly peaceful. Great trails.

Weekend Trip to Animal Sanctuary and Peace Park

This is the perfect combination! The sanctuary itself is amazing, with many many animals to interact with! Whether it’s the exotics from all over the world, or the more common pets and farm animals, there is plenty of opportunity to make friends and learn something! An extra benefit to camping is access to the park outside of normal hours. Highly recommend and this will definitely not be our only visit!

3 nights at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

A great quiet spot to get away for the weekend. You feel away from it all but still close to things if you need that. The other site is far enough away that you don’t hear your neighbors or the host family at their home. Bekah was a great host & super friendly. We stayed in the wooded spot. There was a nice breeze & the sun still comes through enough throughout the day for a nice hammock nap. It’s a pine forest so prepare for ticks who love that kind of environment. We found several on our shoes & pups while there. There is also service if you wind up having to work while out. 😬 The pups also loved the freedom to roam the trails. We’ll go back again to check out the field site.

Weekend Trip to Private meadow and pond

We love visiting this camp each year. Its a joy and so wonderful to work with the host.
