Nick’s Nook

4 sites · Lodging, Tents13 acres · Chinquapin, NCOur little private campground is a hidden jewel in the making. Each campsite is private. We are not a parking lot like so many campgrounds are these days. We are still currently working on infrastructure but are willing to host campers that are self sufficient at a reduced rate for now. We do have a fun play ground, hiking trails, a steam we lovingly named Alligator Gore (to keep the little ones out of the mud). We are pet friendly. Each site has a fire ring or fire pit. We have a full bathroom available. We have a small camp store. We have group camp sites, pull through RV / Camper sites and a few glamping cabins. Located only 40 minutes from the NC coast and much more affordable and less crowded. We are still growing so we do not have a pool yet but will have one in the future. We do have a kids and youth program with weekly crafts and other activities. Picnic tables are available on some sites. Almost across the street is a wonderful boat ramp and fishing spot on the Cape Fear River. Canoe down to a sand bank about a mile down river and have a romantic picnic. A Celtic themed restaurant, the Mad Boar, is just a 10 minute drive if you are looking for a unique farm to table experience. And Duplin Winery is just 15 minutes away with tastings and tours. Located just 10 minutes from I-40 off US 41 we are easily found. A diamond in the rough.

JCO at Lee Baysden Pond

19 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents86 acres · NCThe pond was originally much smaller and a mill pond in the 1920's and features a long dam along one side. It is a 22 acre lake, 2 smaller ponds and surrounded by woods, swamp, and fields, a total of 90 acres. The Lee Baysden Pond was originally owned by Mr. Lee Baysden himself and first opened for fishing in 1956. The store/office is the original detached kitchen from his homeplace, which is the white house just up the street. We still use this today and it has Mr. Lee Baysden's handwriting in the store that states opened June 1956. The pond was owned and fished until the late 1990's. A hurricane damaged the dam and land was sold sometime after. The next owner dug the pond into the lake it is today and fixed the dam. It was deemed private and no fishing was permitted during this time frame. In 2020 My husband Tyler, and I decided to buy the Pond when we saw the signs up for sale. It was way overgrown and covered in algae and duck weed, but we saw the potential and love for the lake in our community. We could not see it developed off into housing. We created JCO, Juniper Creek Outfitters and Guide Service, fall 2020 and began to restore the lake and land to better than ever! We also have cabins in the works for 2022. We have had several community events hosting fishing tournaments, fireworks, music, and food trucks. Our camp office/store is opened most weekends and fishing passes available 7 days a week online from sunrise-dark. Our lake features fishing for Bass, Crappie, Bream, Catfish, Bowfin, Panfish, and more. Check out our facebook page for all the latest news and catches! We are continually trying to make JCO and Lee Baysden Pond a great place in our community for friends and families!

Heirloom Hamlet

5 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Ridgeland, SCAni, Fitch and I are typical, everyday nonconformists who are running an experiment. We are trying to figure out if a family can use their own willing hands and a good plan to handcraft a life that they don't need a vacation from. Oh, and with very little money. Have we done it? You be the judge. Three years ago we left our South Florida creative furniture business to pursue this new goal. We set out to build an inspiring experience in simple, eco-friendly living that would find a harmony between the modern world and many old fashioned ways that we'd found ourselves missing. I think it was Shakespeare that said, "to thine own self be true." With that in mind, we also had to keep it classy. At Heirloom Hamlet, you will see us erecting cabins, installing solar arrays, building dry toilets and composting. We're timber milling, woodworking, clay-forming and metal pounding. Ani and I are big believers in being mindful and respectful of our environment wherever possible... but also in being balanced. So, we are incorporating both alternative energy and municipal utilities as they fit our homestead design. Through good design, our goal is to show just how "normal" bio-compatible, small living can feel if done well. We all have priorities and they will naturally vary greatly... and we think that's okay. But no person should be so self-absorbed that we have completely shut out the importance of being good to the earth and thus kind to our fellowmen, even future generations of them. To be completely transparent, though, the creatives in us also have had a goal to inspire onlookers to view their own space differently. We've personally found it to be so fulfilling to try and distinguish real wants and needs in life from perceived ones, and then to work hard to literally, physically turn these desires into a reality. It is a true challenge to turn off some of the modern world's noise and nail down what we actually want our life to look like, as opposed to what we have been taught it should look like. Even if we are among those that can do that, we still have to muster the courage to make the changes necessary to go and get that life. Heirloom Hamlet is life our way. Ani and I feel like this "happiness" word we hear all the time has become such a buzz term that it's been misused these days. We think that maybe more of us would feel more fulfilled if we were striving for "the pursuit of contentment" rather than the mystical "pursuit of happiness". Being content with what our hard work and determination has produced is an art form. Possessing it leaves one with a sense of control over their life and not aimlessly trying to get a hold on something unattainable and abstract. This is the conclusion we have personally come to and it is where we've aimed our focus as we carve out this place. After visiting with us we hope, at the very least, that our guests don't expect to find a corporate approach to living here, and that they can appreciate some of our old-fashioned ways. We hope that as we cross paths, we won't be held to a business standard that we have mindfully worked hard to remove ourselves from. We realized everyone has a right to be themselves, but our presentation at Heirloom Hamlet has been purposefully designed to be a relaxing getaway in our unique hideaway.
