Lee caught this bass along the Flat River on Memorial Day after a week of heavy rains

Honah Lee Farms

(Notice -  Our driveway was damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene.  We have been working to make repairs.  For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters.  We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change.  Also, we are totally off-grid, which means we do not have RV hook-ups or empty stations.  Thank you for your understanding.  - Brian)

Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael.  We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm. Lee's favorite song and the inspiration behind our name is "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary. A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.

The camping options are flexible, ranging from prepared campsites along both Little and Deep creeks with composting outhouses nearby, to "Camper's Choice" options where you may hike in or drive in and create your own camping experience. Please note that since the "Camper's Choice" options allow freedom to select hike-in or drive-in options, the exact distance to nearest outhouse may vary.

There are 144 acres to explore so campers can set up a secluded getaway or cluster together in a group.

 We are flexible and can work with you to create a camping experience that suits your needs.

Learn more about this land:

Honah Lee Farms has over 140 acres of woods with open fields distributed throughout.  We are bordered to the south by the Flat River, to the west by Deep Creek, and to the north by Little Creek.  Most of our campsites are nestled in the trees along one of these bodies of water and all campers have access to the 10 foot waterfall area where Deep Creek runs into the Flat River.

Honah Lee Farms just welcomed our two new hosts, miniature donkeys Midnight Sky and Tilion Moon.  Donkeys are very social creatures and love visitors.

Outhouse that serves the Little Creek Campsites.  We also have a second outhouse near Lower Deep Creek Campsites.

Caught this beauty in early April right where the Deep Creek feeds into the Flat River, just below the waterfall.

Private meadow and pond

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.

We cater to familes and small groups, NO PARTIES!

Tar River Life

​Back to the basics, come and experience Tar River Life’s primitive camping on the Tar River.

Enjoy being on the river and listening to slow running sound of the Tar River. Bring your own tent or rent one of ours. You can drive your vehicle to all of our campsites.

The drive to camp is about 1/2 miles. Each site includes a fire pit, wood and trash bin. Cook your own meals or try and catch your own fish from the river. Campsites can be secluded or grouped.

Each site comes with a picnic table, 1 bundle of wood and trash can. Stay for a night or longer period of time, come and enjoy the outdoors with us. We have lots of walking trails, fishing access, wildlife, kayaking and tubing (must be purchased through us). 2WD vehicles are ok except during wet conditions.

There is also the Vollmer Farm, with seasonal produce a Full Coffee Shop with breakfast goodies and baked goods and not to mention their fabulous ice cream. They have goods from around NC including, eggs, honey, meats, beers, wine and more. There is a grocery store (Food Lion) about 15 minutes away. So you can stock up on supplies on your way to your next adventure. 

We are pet friendly!

Ross F.’s Land

We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.
