Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Retreat

This place felt like an oasis. The site was beautiful and also easy to find. We felt completely secluded and our dog really enjoyed the room to run! The host was very nice and responded quickly when we reached out. Would def recommend and we hope to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

The “Far Out” site was exactly that! Such a peaceful escape, while still being conveniently close to Greenville. Loved hearing the sound of the flowing river from the site. The river access point was just a short walk from the site and provided a nice cool down after carrying gear, setting up camp, hiking at nearby Paris Mountain State Park, etc. The string of solar lights provide a nice touch after dark. Plenty of fallen branches available to utilize the firepit. Coordinated my arrival time with camp host to take advantage of ATV trailer delivery of my heaviest camp gear to the site. As others have mentioned, it is a bit of a hike and steep incline/then decline from the parking area - but took me less than 5 minutes (with no gear). Totally worth the peace and tranquility you get being “Far Out”! I’d definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

We had an awesome stay! Fern Gully was a beautiful place to spend the night and it was only a minute or two walk from our car. The river was gorgeous and even better than I expected, and it was nice to be so close to downtown.

Weekend Trip to Lakeside Retreat

What a wonderful space! My husband and I don’t frequently find ourselves with a weekend off and I’m so glad that we found this little retreat site for the brief break we could take! It had everything we could want; a sweet little dock area for fishing, privacy, established fire pit and even a table provided if you need it. We are so grateful ☺️

2 nights at Peace Of Pisgah

We wanted to adventure with our dogs in Pisgah forest and this was the perfect place to do that! The campsite was only a 10 minute drive from the entrance to the forest so we got to be some of the first hikers to hit the most popular spots like Looking Glass Falls and Johns Rock! The outdoor shower house was unexpectedly luxurious, with fast hot water and the compost toilet was very clean and didn’t smell at all! We definitely plan to come back.

2 nights at Serenity on the Saluda

This was such an amazing few days. My sister and I took our two boys (4 and 5) for their first camping trip. The tent site and view of the river was gorgeous. The site was clean and really well set up for us to have a good tent set up and plenty of room for the kids to play. Being two lone women it can always be a little scary camping alone but John was super nice, dropped our firewood off promptly, and even gave our kids some cucumbers from his garden. He was even nice enough to jump our car battery when one of the boys inevitably left the car door open. We booked the spot without direct access to the river so we could relax too but the other site had a boat entrance where we could drop in our kayaks. We spent the two days fishing, kayaking, and swimming on the rocks. It’s rare I go somewhere and say I want to come back and have this exact same experience again but we’re already checking our calendars for when we can come back to this beautiful spot for part 2. 1000/10 recommend to anyone considering this. Thank you so much for having us John. We will be back.

1 night at Peace Of Pisgah

The land was magical and provided such a relaxing atmosphere. There are trails and a pond along with the creek that runs throughout the space. The hosts are amazing people. Vicki provided lots of great info about the surrounding area. The campsite was well kept and manicured in such a thoughtful way! Arrival and departure were easy…although we were sad to leave!

2 nights at Serenity on the Saluda

I loved this spot. I felt completely private and relaxed. My dogs enjoyed walks around the property and the garden. The river was muddy from rain so bathing/swimming was not an option but I enjoyed every minute.

2 nights at Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

Campsite 1, it's one of those places you can actually get to with a truck, which is a minor miracle when you're hauling kids and all the gear they seem to require. The beach is sandy, good for swimming, and even better for a little fishing if you're like my son and I. My boy spent hours picking wild blackberries along the shore, inspecting rocks, swimming, and catching trout. You're not far from the Middle Saluda if you get a serious itch to fish before check in, and the farm stands and gas stations are close enough for when you inevitably forget something crucial. The owners clearly keep up the place, and I’m astonished and so incredibly happy they’re willing to share it with campers. I'll be back to the campsite for sure. Thanks again Craig!

Weekend Trip to Ash Grove Cabins and Camping

We loved our time at the "Aster" site! Starting right at check-in, it's clear that Mark and Esther are experts at making sure their guests are well taken care of. Everything was exactly as described on the hipcamp listing! A few things to note: -We stayed at the "Aster" site, which is the closest to the cars and bath house. While most of the sites here are very secluded, this one butts right up against the next campsite, with just a privacy fence between the two. -Like they say on the listing, the drinking water is DELICIOUS. -The best perk of this campground is the location, with so many amazing hikes and waterfalls nearby! -This campsite does not have any trees strong enough to hang a hammock or a tarp. -We came in the middle of several rainstorms, and the site does drain well. However, it's completely covered by trees, so it does not dry out in the humidity. I imagine that the picnic table will stay soaked for days after a big storm. -Overall, I would recommend this spot if you want to stay close to the cars for easier load-in. You can see the parking lot from this spot, making it much easier to get everything to the site. However, every single other person will be walking right by the site every time they need the bathroom or their cars. For us, this was all hours of the night.

4 nights at Trails & Tails Waterfalls Retreat

Magical experience! ❤️ Such a beautiful spot that I would love to bring my family to. We had camp site 3 and it is so private. The stream by our tent was so peaceful! We also enjoyed a game night in the greenhouse during a rainstorm and it was one of those memories I’ll keep forever.

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

It was a great weekend at the campsite! The creek was beautiful. Having the wagon for transportation was also a nice touch.

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

Had a great time! The instructions were super clear, the campsite was beautiful, and the cold plunge was a great way to wake up in the morning.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

We had a great time tent camping on the deck for Father’s Day weekend! Easy directions to follow. The kids loved the creek, especially when the evening fog rolled in and the fireflys put on a show.

Weekend Trip to Trails & Tails Waterfalls Retreat

It is an adorable property. Well-maintained. Hipster vibe with tons of charm and thoughtful hosts.

Weekend Trip to Cold Spring Basecamp

We love the tree house ❤️ The place is exceptional. Quiet, comfortable, clean and beautiful. The house is close to several trails and good restaurants.

Weekend Trip to Persimmon Farm

Such a beautiful and peaceful place to unwind and relax. Owners are extremely friendly and quick to respond with any questions. The treehouse is cozy with a very comfortable bed and wonderful loft for the kiddos. Bathhouse is very clean and nice to have indoor/outdoor shower options with hot water! They supplied firewood and we had our hotdogs and s’mores. We wish we could’ve stayed longer. What a lovely getaway.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak Riverside Getaway

This place is awesome. We stayed beach side at site 2. Could not recommend more!!! So private and peaceful Has everything but trash!

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

Fern Gully is a great little campsite, with really cool creek and river access. It’s also a great place to put in for tubing, I recommend also booking The Bend for take-out, if it’s available.

Weekend Trip to Camp Moondog

We had an awesome time tubing the Saluda from Camp Moondog. We booked both Fern Gully and The Bend, and it makes a real nice 30-min float with a couple rapids, and a quick walk back up to put-in. We also tubed across the river to Dolly Cooper park.
