Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Lakeside RV Resort

Lakeview is a beautiful fully equipped camper site with the fire ring and pavilion. Both Debbie and Steve are wonderful hosts and their property and garden are pristinely manicured. The lake access is just a short walk away and perfect for fishing and our dogs to take a swim. We didn’t have any trouble with the directions to the location, the roadway leading to the camp is wide, however the hills required to speed up to pull the camper uphill. Once on the property the long back in access to the campsite required assistance from the host, since we are newbies with our camper. Just a thought… having corn hole available would have given us more outdoor activity options. We LOVED our get away!

Weekend Trip to OWLS Retreat private campground

The place was great. Just what I needed! Got to meet the owner, excellent dude!

Weekend Trip to Wooded Camping at Pond

We absolutely had a blast a loved frogs land and will definitely be returning many more times we ended up at upper site 2 it was amazing and total full disclosure we took two Harley Davidson motorcycles to the site no problems

2 nights at OWLS Retreat private campground

Kord was a gracious host - making sure we had everything that we needed. The property was gorgeous and very peaceful.

4 nights at Lakeside RV Resort

The hosts were amazing. What a beautifully maintained spot! We definitely enjoyed our time relaxing by the lake and venturing into Athens and surrounding towns. If you want a peaceful escape this is the place for you.

Weekend Trip to Chattooga Belle Farm Lakeside

This place is awesome, tons of space to camp without being crowded. If you go, you should totally check out the distillery; Eric and Ben are great guys, they'll make you feel right at home. 10/10 would recommend!

3 nights at Smith Farm

Peaceful, private, relaxing, tranquil! These words define the last 4 days at Smith Creek Farm. We loved it. We spent a lot of time visiting with the 2 ducks. The property is well maintained and kept up. I recommend purchasing your firewood from them. It’s worth not carrying it. To the owners: a special thank you from our family to yours! Your property was such a blessing to us for 4 days.

3 nights at OWLS Retreat private campground

This is such a special place! The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. During our stay, we enjoyed waking up to the views of the lake, bald eagles flying over, spending time fishing, and walking the property. William is an amazing and caring host. He is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. While we came to the Helen area to visit, hike, and explore, we could have easily chosen to just spend all day on William’s property. I hope we can go back!

Weekend Trip to Camp Clatworthy

Campsite was nice. Right on the lake, was able to kayak right from the campsite. Very peaceful. Thanks Alex!

Weekend Trip to Wooded Camping at Pond

First family camping trip was a success! Location was easy to find and kids loved it. Felt very private for our kids to run around and enough distance between campsites to not worry about noise bothering others (at least I hope we didn't). Thanks again for everything!

Weekend Trip to Oolenoy Valley

I loved camping on Stevens land. The views were spectacular and loved the open land so that our dogs could run free! This was my second time at his place and will definitely be camping there again. Steven is an amazing host!

Weekend Trip to Oolenoy Valley

Steven’s land is absolutely wonderful! One peaceful and quiet RV spot with full hookups all to yourself with amazing views! It was easy to maneuver our 35’ travel trailer into the level gravel spot, and there was plenty of space for our fur babies to run and play in a big open field. We have stayed here twice and will definitely be back again.

Weekend Trip to OWLS Retreat private campground

Kord is super chill and helpful. The property is so beautiful and I've been all across America. I'll be coming back for sure

5 nights at Lakeside RV Resort

They have a very beautiful property and have setup a full hookup with a level platform, big firepit, and lovely pavilion with a chargrill gas/propane grill. Also have a dumpster on the property to throw away trash instead of carrying it all out with you. A little tight getting turned around and backed in, but no more than a couple back and forth moves and we were in good shape. Caught a crappie from the dock on the lake, and just enjoyed sitting out on the water. Weather wasn’t great for us the first couple days, but Steve had everything cleaned off looking great the morning after the storm passed. Very friendly hosts, and would definitely go back.

1 night at At the Ridge Camp-Riverside Escapes

Loved this cabin camp! Had a great experience and the host was so nice and welcoming. Would recommend!

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

This was a nicely set-up small campground with a very kind host, Peter, who stays on-site. The location is within a neighborhood, but it is very quiet and feels private. There is a lovely garden on the property and little walking path that the dogs enjoyed. The sites are fairly close together, which we enjoyed because we went travelling with multiple family members. In the winter/early spring, you have a modest view of distant mountains through the leaf-less trees. When we had to leave our trip early due to unforeseen severe weather, Peter was generous enough to give a refund for those days, which was extremely nice of him! We look forward to coming back to this site in the future!

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

We really enjoyed our stay, the campground, and the host. We will be back!

4 nights at Sky High Ridge RV Campground

We loved camping on Peter’s land. The sites are more private than most campgrounds and set up nicely. Because the trees were still (mostly) bare this time of the year, we could see the surrounding mountains quite well. There is a nice garden next to the campground and small walking path around it. Peter was very helpful and nice. We look forward to visiting again.

Weekend Trip to OWLS Retreat private campground

Loved it here. Nice little campground! Caught a 7 pound bass out of the pond

1 night at Smith Farm

Chattooga Belle Farm Lakeside

Chattooga Belle Farm – They Built It! By Tracy McCoy I wonder if when standing on the sprawling in upstate South Carolina, just a short hour trip from Greenville, Ed and Kitty Land heard a small still voice say, “if you build it, they will come.” While there isn't a baseball field on the property, that's about all that is lacking. Chattooga Belle Farm began as an event building set on 138 acres with a small seasonal retail store. Soon people found their way to the soon-to-be full-fledged farm and they felt it; that feeling that you've found a very special place. Peaceful, majestic and unlike any other, Chattooga Belle Farm is quite possibly the perfect place for any event and most certainly an ideal place to pledge your heart and life to another. Since the Lands opened their doors in 2010 they have come. There have been families, couples, groups, the media and fruit pickers who have all visited the farm; and they return year after year. Having been written up countless times across the southeast, US and more recently featured on The Today Show, the farm just keeps growing and getting better. With a history of growing sweet juicy apples, the soil in this part of the world has proven to be excellent for peaches, muscadines, scuppernongs, and blueberries. The farm also grows exotic fruits like persimmons, paw paws, Asian pears, figs, and more! The landscape is picturesque and the mountain views are truly breathtaking in every direction. The farm hosts farm to table dinners that sell out year after year. Their U-Pick fruit opportunities evolve throughout the season with something always coming in from early summer through fall. A list of available fruit is updated often on their website, upcoming events and information about cabin rentals on Horseshoe Lake. The recent addition of a distillery on the farm means the fruit is grown, fermented, distilled and bottled on the farm. The distillery is open year round Monday – Saturday. ged in oak barrels and aged to produce some of the finest liquors made in these mountains. The farm store is complete with fresh produce (in season), canned jams, jellies and bottled ciders. Grass-fed, natural, antibiotic-free Black Angus beef is sold in the store. The cattle are raised on pasture which produces some of the healthiest beef you can buy. Using only natural, humane and environmentally sustainable practices, the Lands and their staff raise beef as nature intended. Bringing the best to your family has never been easier. Belle's Bistro at Chattooga Belle Farm serves salads, sandwiches, burgers and soups made with the freshest ingredients possible. The bistro is open for lunch Tuesday – Sunday from April – October. Their menu includes Certified South Carolina Grown food which makes for an outstanding menu, also which can be viewed on chattoogabellefarm.com. When it comes to weddings, Chattooga Belle Farm has it all! With all-inclusive packages that offer rental items, catering, a wedding coordinator, photographer, flowers, music, bar service and even the wedding cake. The couple can customize a package or choose from their Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum packages. Getting married has never been this easy, you bring the dress and your partner and you enjoy the day! Some of the area's loveliest weddings have happened in this remarkable place! Ed and Kitty and the outstanding farm team welcome you and we guarantee that if you come, you'll find that you want to stay forever! Plan your visit: Chattooga Belle Farm is located at 454 Damascus Church Road, Long Creek, South Carolina 29658. Information is abundant online.

Harmony Glen

2 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Tuckasegee, NC

My property has supported families for several generations. From a small farm with typical livestock and vegetable gardens to a tree seedling nursery to hiking trails to cattle grazing in the fields, it has served its owners well. During the 1940's and early '50's, the Argura Post Office was located on the porch of my house. I have the original cancellation stamp. My husband is deceased, and I am hosting campers to meet people who love to camp as much as we did. My photo is with my dog Mollie. I hike with a group weekly and can make hiking suggestions as well as fishing suggestions. Harmony Glen is a wonderful place!
