My farm had been untouched for years and only used as hay farming. It is rolling hills known by the locals as "Butterfly Hill" Which the farm is home to many species of butterflies in the summer. I know the area was inhabited by native Americans many decades ago. I have found a few broken arrow heads over the years. The farm is beautiful and quiet. I have a beautiful hiking trail around the property for you to take your fur babies on. The cabin is right on a beautiful stream too. There are several state parks nearby and river tubing within 10 -30 minutes. Hot showers and potable water just a few feet away.

Hi there. Here is a little rundown of everything we do at the mill….
So, as far as camping, there are two main options on either side of the river; the mill yard or primitive camping across the river. In the mill yard, we do festival style camping, meaning that there are no individual campsites per se, but rather a large grassy lawn near the mill and bathhouse with shared fire pits, picnic tables, charcoal grill, and sinks for water/dishes. We also have two platforms up in the woods that are good for a little more privacy and are completely shaded, but do require a small climb up the hill. The bathhouse has three restrooms and hot showers in each.
Across the river, there are several more primitive sites that are generally very private and offer great sounds coming from the river and waterfall, but no facilities. Most sites are car accessible, and a 5 minute walk back over to the mill (or a 1 minute drive). Lastly, our newest camping spot on the primitive side is a river front beach right by the dam with space for a several medium sized tents and a private fire pit. The beach is hike-in only (2-3 minutes along a mostly flat trail).
Our normal rate is $10 per person per night. Firewood is available for $10 per wheelbarrow load. We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, Paypal, and crypto. We are also fairly flexible on check in/check out times, but just let us know if you’ll be arriving at odd hours. Dogs are generally welcome as long as they are kept on leash.
Here is a little rundown of tubing at the mill (May-October, weather permitting). We have two tubing options available. We have a short Fun Run that takes roughly 45 minutes, and cost $10 per person for as many rides as you’d like. The river bends sharply like a horseshoe in this section, so it makes everything accessible by foot traffic. It’s a 3 minute walk up the trail to the dam, put in and float 30-45 minutes (depending on water level), then a 5-10 minute walk back to the mill carrying your tube. There is also the longer Forks Run, which last 3-4 hours (~2.5 river miles), and costs $15. For this, we shuttle you up the river in a vehicle, and you float back to the top of the dam, then 3 minutes walking back to the mill. Most weekends, tubing starts at 11 am and the last Forks Shuttle is around 3 pm, with the Fun Run staying open till around 5. Also, with enough heads up, we can sometimes arrange for trips during the week.
Our tubes are required for each person floating for insurance and liability reasons, but you are welcome to bring your own cooler tubes to carry drinks and snacks. Technically, alcohol is not permitted on the river, but what is in your cooler is your business. Either way, please bring ALL trash out with you! Water shoes are recommended, and we have life jackets on request. Most of our tubes come with bottoms and back rests, but a few are open to the water. Most weekends, reservations are not required, but it does help tremendously if we know when you want to come and how many in your group.
Lastly, check out a Facebook page for our occasional live music events and festivals!

Update on Fire ban: I spoke with the forest ranger of Yadkin County, and You ARE allowed SMALL campfires for cooking and heating purposes only. No bonfires. Charcoal and propane grills are OK too.
Please respect our land by not bringing firewood from off-site and burning it here. We are a working farm that allows camping, not a campground. Our native trees and crops could easily be devastated by outside diseases or pests that are carried in firewood. We offer firewood for sale from our farm (delivered to your site for no additional fee). You do NOT have to purchase it prior to your arrival, and we have large tubs too!
Our STORE offers firewood, meats, eggs, Tallow, lard (both rendered right here!), drinks, Amish ice cream and jams/jellies/preserves, hammocks, hammock chairs, smoked dog bones, soaps (made right here), rentals of: cast iron cookware, a tent, Coleman stove, fishing poles, ... and MUCH MORE!
Please note that all our sites are reserved with a one vehicle limit. Some sites are large enough to accommodate additional vehicles but each additional vehicle will incur a $10 per night charge. Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store.
Looking for a camping experience with a little luxury to boot? Look no further than our Oasis at Harmon Creek Farms! You can drive right up to most sites, weather permitting. You will have access to a fire ring and picnic table (located at each site), firewood for sale on site (please do not bring firewood from off-site), clean well water (located near the pond), the creek to explore, our stocked pond to fish, and wooded trails to hike. Once roamed by Native Americans and now farmed by the same family for over 6 generations, Harmon Creek Farm is a working farm of over 160 acres. Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣
Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and llamas are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well. Like us on Facebook (Harmon Creek Farms of NC)

John was a wonderful host. We got some eggs from his farm for breakfast, bright orange yolks, so delicious. We had a great view of Pilot Mountain and it was a perfect location for going to both Hanging Rock and Pilot Mountain. We walked down to the creek where our dog met his dogs. His dogs were curious and our dog is pretty chill, they all got along just fine. Who won to check out the farm animals more but it rained, so we slept through the morning feeding. All in all, I would definitely go again.

We came here to celebrate my husband's birthday and we had an absolute blast. The property is beautiful and the pictures just dont do it justice. They have a store you can shop at, pond you can fish in, creek to play in and cool farm animals to hang out with. There is also a waterfall thats a 5 minute drive from the property. Our only regret on this trip is that we didnt decide to stay longer.
Also- noticed barely any bugs, not sure if they treat their yards but I didnt need bug spray the whole trip and I was very much prepared to be covered in deet. So that was nice! Overall we had no complaints. Everyone was friendly, bath house was clean, yards were well maintained. We decided on our way home that we will definitely be back again!

The property is gorgeous; the sounds of & easy access to the river were everything we typically want in a campsite! The site accommodations are very well thought of— an outhouse, an outdoor shower, a picnic table, water for handwashing & drinking, etc. We especially loved the hammock & the free-roaming dog policy. We both wanted to stay longer & certainly would have had we had the time on this trip.

Cheryl’s land is a beautiful place with nature trails on the property. The campsite (creek front 11) was neat and clean with a little patch of forests above the creek. Frogs sing at night and you could hear other wild lives. The farm goods are very recommended- eggs were delicious. The host was very very helpful and responsive. And they sell s’mores and firewoods- very convenient.

My sons and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kohler Farms campsite. Our hosts met us on arrival and shared a page and a half of great recommendations for food, groceries, entertainment, and recreation. Our hosts were extremely kind and I feel genuinely love having campers to visit their land. We loved meeting their four shire horses, who were very friendly and gentle. There was a lot of flat grassy space next to the creek to pitch our tent and put out our cornhole boards. We highly recommend Kohler Farms to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with plenty to do within a 20 minute drive.
