Rosewood Farm and Agripark is my home. I honestly had about the most amazing childhood one could have on this very land! We hunted, fished, made mud pies and played outside for hours, as long as we were in shouting distance for supper time! I am so fortunate to be the daughter of two amazing parents, who had a dream to build a working farm from nothing more than a logging trail in the woods. They built a 3 story, 10,000 square foot house by themselves- while raising a family! We have 200 acres of farmland that features rolling hills, multiple ponds, creeks, farm animals, show horses and countless wildlife viewing opportunities. Wild turkey and deer roam free all over the farm, coveys of dove fly out from the pastures and trails, and coyotes howl in the night. Listen to the frogs croaking, crickets chirping and whipporwhills calling every evening under a magical blanket of stars. Take a nature hike through the trails that meander through the woods around the park. Our newest venture is to offer primitive camping and some cabin rentals around our 60 acre Agripark! For those wanting to step it up a notch, we have erected a large concrete floor, covered event barn (for parties, family reunions, weddings, cowboy church, etc..,) and also a huge petting zoo barn with an area behind it for pony rides and 4-h/FFA functions. Also, a greenhouse is being erected next, that will teach people about aquaponics and hydroponics! Many things are on the immediate horizon for this special property. While we are under heavy construction at the moment in some areas of the park, many amenities are currently available. Why not unplug from the daily grind and spend time with those that matter most? My goal is to make this land as magical for your family as it has been for mine!

We have an absolutely gorgeous 12 acres of mostly wooded and/or lakefront land on the West end of Lake Murray (Saluda River). Me, my wife, and three kids live and work on a 20 acre forest nestled in the backwaters of Lake Murray. Behind Prices Bridge, we have what nature lovers refer to "OH MY GAWD"... Our land forms a peninsula, which is very private, secluded, and SAFE. If you want to refresh, recharge or spend quality time with family or friends, we'd love to host you. *Prices Bridge being a low bridge also means if you bring a large boat you may need to use the marina or any of the free boat launches within a mile of our site... kayaks, canoes, john boats all fit under. :-)

This is a little tuck away cabin that is just the perfect size for any family who needs a quick getaway from the city. Everything from the animals to the coziness to the pond right next door.

We enjoyed visiting all the animals, hiking in the woods, kayaking in the pond and rough housing in the cabin. We are excited for all the baby horses in June :)

Our stay here was wonderful! The land is absolutely gorgeous, the cabin is well stocked with almost everything you need, and Katie and her husband are just so pleasant and kind! My boys loved meeting the animals, kayaking on the pond, and telling stories around the fire! We would love to come out again sometime for a longer period of time! Highly recommend!!

My tent camping trip got rained out, so I was very thankful to book Katie’s cabin. It was peaceful and lovely (and dry!!) with all I needed for my stay there. Even with the nonstop rain, it was enjoyable! Would definitely book again.

Second time visiting with my Dalmation. Katie and hubby super hosts. Cabin is very well done for a small space. The live edge cabinetry is superb. BRIAN (DALMATION) LOVES BEING OFF LEASH! If you need your modern accouterments, we'll, there is none. Truly a place of tranquility. Horses at a section of pasture are cute "bring carrots " will be back when it is time to unwind again!

The cabin is on a beautiful piece of land which is very secluded. The beds (full size and bunks) were comfortable and the air conditioner kept the cabin cool at night. It was the perfect little place for us.

1 night at Rosewood Farm and Agripark

I would say the number one best thing about this Hipcamp is the privacy. The cabin is out by itself next to a pond and it’s so nice and quiet. So if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place with no other campers around, this is for you. I appreciated all of the amenities, like the Keurig coffee maker and the kitchen, which seemed to have everything you could need.

We absolutely love this place. Katie and her family are an absolute delight and the property is magnificent. She is so patient and so kind, especially with kids that have 4 million questions about every single animal on the farm. We're so grateful to have a place to go as a family and spend time, I cannot say enough good things!

1 night at Eden in Lancaster, SC

We loved the area! So beautiful and peaceful! The host had everything ready for us and we didn’t run into big issues. However the ad said 6 people max and I think that’s a little misleading. It was just 2 of us and there was not a lot of room in the camper. It would be a good spot for more people who brought tents to put up outside the camper. Again we enjoyed it and I recommend, just be aware of the amount of space inside.

Absolutely perfect for a scenic getaway to reset. Couldn’t have asked for anything more. Really a great little spot. Kitchen has everything you’ll need as far as equipment (hot plate, air frier, toaster oven, coffee pot). Cannot recommend enough! Will absolutely be back.

The A-frame was perfect! Enough space to be able to relax in. Every morning, afternoon and evening, my dog and I would sit on the dock gazing out at the lake with Herons, Osprey, Geese, Ducks and Cormorants all flying past. With the boat ramp right there, we would easily cast off on our SUP for the lake. Jesse, his wife and kids were wonderful and so nice. Their place and land offered so much to do. My dog got to feel like a country dog, interacting with the chickens, running through the woods and snoozing by the fire pit. This trip was exactly what I needed and desired. I loved every minute at Jesse's place.

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

The cabin was cozy and peaceful, by a nice little pond. Could use a bit more kitchen equipment like pots and pans, but otherwise sufficiently equipped. The heater worked great to keep us warm on cold evenings. My son loved seeing the beautiful horses and animals, and playing with the very friendly farm dogs who kept us company. George and their daughter were friendly and nice to chat to. Thank you for a fun stay on your beautiful farm!

Weekend Trip to Rosewood Farm and Agripark

Incredibly peaceful! Set in a hollow with a small pond next to it available to kayak (provided) & fish. Horses set up on the hillside. Plenty of other animals to enjoy as well. Hosts are perfectly welcoming & there if/when you need them. It offers the opportunity to unplug from the world and enjoy simple living with a touch of all the amenities you may need without the digital distractions...Splendidly perfect!
