We were in town for a wedding in Banner Elk, and this spot was perfect! It was about 6–8 minutes from Grandfather Winery and 10–15 minutes from Banner Elk, so it made getting to our events super easy. The site was paved, surrounded by trees for privacy, and even had a chain so we could block off the entrance—nice for peace of mind. We even saw some deer wandering through! Overall, an excellent stay and Ted was very responsive while booking!

This was one of our favorite Hip Camps we've been to and we have been using the site for years. The cabin was an excellent glamping experience for a family looking for a quick weekend away. The creek and view were amazing and the kids loved playing in the water. The hosts have included many extra amenities like picnic tables, cooking shelter, fire pit, chairs etc that make the stay so convenient. The toilet was very clean and easily accessible.
We will definitely be back again!

We found this spot last minute camping around Boone and were SO happy we found it! This site felt very private and was exactly as you see in pictures in other reviews. 100% will be booking again when we’re in the area. Thanks to Ted for accepting our last minute booking and responding quickly for a smooth stay!

We had a great weekend staying at the newly-constructed Birds' Nest Tent and Hammock site! It was well-equipped and just what we wanted for a weekend getaway, and Elizabeth and Mark were extremely helpful & hospitable. It was a nice bonus to go see their farm & animals at a time that was convenient for them also - it is their home, so we wanted to be respectful of their privacy and time.
Pack light - it's a bit of a walk downhill to the site, and she has a lot of things you may need down there already! Water shoes for playing in the creek were well worth bringing along with a bundle of dry, larger firewood. It's a great site, would recommend.

A lovely little site right by the creek! Dianne is a very generous host and made sure we had everything we needed. We set up our tent in the picnic shelter to keep dry from the rain, which also had a small table and chairs so we were very comfortable. The porta potty was the cleanest I’ve ever seen! Our dog had a blast playing in the creek and hanging out with the host dogs. Would definitely book Joyville again!

Such an incredible and beautiful spot. Just what I needed to get away and reset! Gorgeous views and a great sunrise! Was fun to walk around and explore the property too. Will definitely try it be back, one of my faves.

Had a fun time in the yurt. Had everything we needed and then some. Also when the water pump broke (due to no fault of the host, just bad luck) they worked with us to find a solution that worked for us quickly. Was very responsive and quick to assist with any issues. Would stay at their properties again.
Just a note because I don't think I realized it, the yurts are fairly close to each other, I know we could occasionally hear the people inside the yurt next door (which probably means they could hear our dogs).
Lastly very doggo friendly! Loved that! And the fenced in Porch for the dogs to be on un leashed was great for when we were out there.

Our stay was amazing. Came in for just one night for a concert we have been looking forward to. Elizabeth was fantastic and communicated well. Her place was tucked off the beaten path but so perfect. A little bit of a hike I must say so pack accordingly :). Such a peaceful place for our little getaway. We will definitely stay here again.

This was hands-down the best HipCamp we’ve ever stayed at—and we’ve visited quite a few! Before our trip, I reached out to the host with a few questions, and they replied promptly. The directions provided were clear and made finding the site super easy. Once we arrived, we were impressed—the site was spacious, spotless, and even better than advertised.
The picnic table, fire ring, and outhouse were all in excellent condition and very clean. There was plenty of chopped firewood available for purchase (via Cash App or cash), which was super convenient. We especially loved the little creek nearby—it was the perfect spot to soak our feet after a full day of hiking at Grayson Highlands.
One tip: download your map in advance, as there’s no cell service in the area. The host does provide a WiFi password you can use near their home, but it’s really just for sending the occasional text—which we actually loved. It gave us the chance to truly unplug and unwind.
If you need supplies, the town of Independence is about 20 minutes away and has a grocery store and a few restaurants.
All in all, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We’ll absolutely be recommending this site to friends—and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Honestly, there’s not a single thing we’d change!

Camping by the creek was wonderful, and the deck was a lovely spot to read and listen to the birds. Truly peaceful. My dog loved the trails and splashing in the water! I'd love to come back and jump in the swimming hole on a hot day! Thank you Dianne 🩷
