Sugarneck was simply amazing!! She literally thought of everything. My girls enjoyed exploring the land, taking the dog for walks on the trails and the game/TV room. If you are ever thinking about glamping, this is the place for you! We will be back and our friends loved our pictures and stories so much they want to join us!

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

The men were so excited when we pulled up to our spot (#5)!! We had a great view, fairly easy access for the kids to get in the river, and privacy. Some other spots (2-3, I think) were open and would be great for a huge group, because there was no privacy between them. I didn’t notice in reviews or site details that were was a private potty tent. So that was a pleasant surprise. The wood they provided was good burning wood. We peeked in on the yurt. That looks really cool for cold weather! Overall, a great place, with lots of campsite options! We would definitely come back!!

Camping here was easy! Having a campsite by the river was wonderful. The firewood was a bonus. We had no trouble finding our site and Billy even checked in to be sure we were good. We did, however have noisy neighbors at next site that ran a generator until midnight. After it died, it was so peaceful. Would visit again!

Weekend Trip to Rare, Watershed Forest - Piedmont

This is such a hidden gem; it's my 3rd time booking at this campsite. It's great for a dip in the creek and a fun time with friends. The trails are well-maintained, and the amenities are great for first-time campers. I love bringing my friends here, and it has become somewhat of a tradition to come here and unwind. The host is very kind, thoughtful, and quick to respond; I will continue to recommend and spread the word about this wonderful site.

Great site, the area was clean and surrounded by trees connected by a trail to Site 3, which is where another group of friends stayed to be close to the creek. Great secluded campsite!

Beautiful set up. Made friends with other campers. The tents were cool via the air conditioner on a particularly hot April day. Loved the common room. Will go back and bring friends.

Beautiful site with everything you could need! This was our first glamping experience and it definitely will not be our last. My husband and I were Clover I and our two kids were in Clover II. The private bathroom with mini fridge and coffee maker made cleanup and meal prep so easy. The site was so quiet and peaceful!

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

Location is perfect. You are right on the river. Sites were very clean. Ground is level for a tent. It is very quiet through the night. Very comfortable and relaxing. The portable toilets have a lot of hugs though. Only complaint. Everything else was a dream.

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

I enjoyed my stay on Nikki’s camping land so much, secluded, peaceful & such a beautiful view! We indulged in the kayaking adventure Billy was great with directions, helping with our activity & providing us with whatever we needed for our stay. I would definitely come again & can’t wait for my next visit!

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort

We absolutely loved staying on Alicia’s property. The area was so peaceful and beautiful…it was just the break that we needed. The tent itself was adorable, and had all the creature comforts. Even our (well traveled) kids said this was much better than a hotel room. :) The bathroom was incredible, with a shower I wish I had at home! Highly recommend. 👍🏼

3 nights at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

From the moment we got there, till the time we left was absolutely wonderful!!! The tent was better the photos, exceptionally clean, incredibly comfortable and more than I expected. The bathroom facility was as well fantastic! The kids loved it, our dog had the best time and with the exception of being covered in tree pollen for 3 days, we all had an amazing weekend. Alicia was an awesome host!!!!

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

Nice location right on the river. Small pop up tents for bathrooms. Only problem for us was we found the campsites to be little on the small side and close together. However it is close to our and we would go back for a quick overnight or weekend trip.

2 nights at Sugarneck Glamping Resort

Enjoyed a wonderful springtime glamping getaway at Sugarneck! The Clover cabins and bathhouse were clean, cozy, well equipped, and private. Favorite amenities included the mini fridge, Solo Stove fire pit and firewood, strong wifi, towels and toiletries, and coffee machine. My dog and I loved exploring the beautiful property and venturing out to hike at nearby San-Lee Nature Park, Raven Rock State Park, and Harris Lake Park during the day before relaxing around the campfire each evening! A tired dog is a happy dog. :) Looking forward to a return trip!

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

This was a great little spot not too far from home . Did some fishing. The owners were very receptive to my messages!

3 nights at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

What a delightful place! Very quiet and peaceful. Beautiful grounds with local wildlife making appearances. The kids loved the gaming room and supplies. The tents and bathrooms were clean with air and heat. Just a couple of miles from shopping if you need supplies. Only 25 minutes from Raleigh. We had a blast and are looking forward to staying here again. Alicia was wonderful, very responsive to messages. They made sure we had everything we needed to have the best stay possible.

Weekend Trip to Tar River Life

We had a great weekend! Site #5 was perfect for us. It's hard to beat a quiet weekend by the river. This campground offers plenty of room to roam and explore. We did a little hiking but also passed the time on the river bank relaxing. Nikki and Billy were helpful via messages and the site was easy to find and clean when we arrived. They had a camp toilet set up for our site and firewood had already been delivered. We'll be back!
