Weekend Trip to Mountain Farm Camping & Glamping
This was our second year coming to Growing Faith Farms and this year was just as wonderful as the first! We were greeted by Joe and Tina upon entering the property and they took the time to lead us up to our site and show us everything, even though we had gotten there well after dark. The bell tent itself is AMAZING. The bed is super comfortable and the provided heater kept it cozy in there all day and night. One thing that keeps us coming back to Growing Faith Farms is the peace and quiet that you get to experience while still having modern conveniences such as running water, HOT water, and electricity. If you’re looking to enjoy beautiful views in a quiet setting without giving up all the comforts of home, Growing Faith Farms is the place to go!

I enjoyed my stay at the Yurt. The yurt is centrally located around five wineries. All the amenities in the description made the yurt a pleasurable glamping experience. It was magical and peaceful. The sunset and stars truly made the space special.

1 night at Wildwood Heart Farm
It’s not everyday you find a place to camp that feels like home. Wildwood was just that for me. The Mushie Palace is absolutely adorable. Super cozy bedding & perfect pillows. The fireplace has lights that offer a nice ambiance without the heat. The chairs around the fire pit were perfect. The grounds near the sites are beautiful, but the walk down to the mindfulness area, and the creek were even more beautiful. This site was once of the most peaceful places I’ve ever been. I put the fire pit to use and enjoyed hours outside reading. The swim beach isn’t too far from the site, and is a must for hot summer days. Before leaving I got to give the goats and miss Cooper lots of loving. I will most definitely be back soon, hopefully so I can stay longer than just one night.

Christina and Joe were excellent hosts! It was the perfect weekend getaway. Upon checkin we were greeted to make sure we had everything we needed. Throughout our stay, Joe and Christina made sure to stay in contact and check if we needed anything at all. They were beyond friendly and gave great recommendations to local spots to check out. The property was very clean, including the shower house which provided access to warm water, toilets, and showers. We will be back!

Tina and Joe were very nice! The property is beautiful, but remote! There is electricity and water, as well as very nice bathrooms, but if you're looking for a place that's quick to get in and out of, you may need to look elsewhere. The quiet nights were gorgeous and relaxing. I hadn't been camping in a long time, so there were things I didn't think about, but the location is close enough to Wilkesboro that I could pick those things up at the local DG or Walmart.

I had a fantastic time at Dawn's yurt this weekend. The directions were clear, drive-in was nice, the property was open and peaceful and quiet, surrounded by vineyards. The yurt was super well stocked, even the restroom--which was way nicer than I was expecting for this little getaway! I had a great night sleep & recharge and watched the sun come up in the morning while the birds were singing. :) Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time at Christina's Bell Tent. The scenery was amazing, the hosts were so friendly and accommodating!! The tent was comfortable and so peaceful. We made a stop at Hiddenite Gem mine, a short drive, and found lots of different gems to take home. We will now have to learn how to make jewelry. The new bath house was outstanding. There were individual private shower rooms with heaters. We did not have time for the farm tour but drove by it and it was adorable. It looks perfect for a family trip. We loved our trip and plan to make a trip back soon!!

The best bell tents near Wilkesboro guide
Where to go
Pisgah National Forest
Trek through the tree-covered trails, whitewater rivers, and epic waterfalls of Pisgah National Forest. An hour east of Wilkesboro, Pisgah is home to campgrounds, cabin rentals, horse-friendly campsites, and dispersed camping districts. Some areas include full hookups, restrooms with showers, dump stations, and drinking water. Or, make it a day trip and enjoy fishing, picnics, or a scenic drive through this unforgettable 500,000-acre forest in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
Grandfather Mountain State Park
Gather up the climbing gear and head an hour east of Wilkesboro to Grandfather Mountain State Park. The rugged terrain and severe weather offer a challenge of cliffs, cables, and climbing ladders for hikers and climbers in breathtaking biodiversity. Recognized as part of the United Nation’s International Network of Biosphere Reserves, Grandfather Mountain provides a home to 16 ecological communities and 72 rare or endangered species. Free permits are required for hikers who want to explore the park and must be filled out at the trailhead. Campers can spend the night on-site, though it’s only open to backpackers who want tent or group campsites.
W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir
Live like a local at the W. Kerr Scott Dam & Reservoir. Located in Wilkesboro at the end of the Yadkin River Greenway, the Kerr Scott Reservoir offers campgrounds, tent campsites, RV hookups, and day-use areas around the water. Known for boating, fishing, and watersports, campers can bring their boats and ride the reservoir in style or explore the history and culture of the dam. Built-in boat launches make it easy for kayaks and canoes to enter from one of the waterfront parks or beaches.
When to go
While Wilkesboro camping is available year-round, there are variations in the seasonal temperatures and available activities. Summers are hot and humid, reaching average highs near 90°F. Campers should prepare for mosquitoes during this time, as well. Wilkesboro winters are very cold with peak temperatures in January of 48°F during the day and 24°F at night. Winter campers can bring preparations for cold-weather camping or consider a heated rental.
