We live on a diversified farm with hogs, chickens, guineas, five dogs, cattle, and a milk cow... with a blueberry and grape orchard for u-pick customers. Our farm contains about 400 acres of fields, woodlands, our home and an 18th century home that we restored for nightly rentals. It is quiet here with night skies where you can actually see the stars. Yet we are only 18 miles from the Jamestown Ferry and Colonial Williamsburg and more.

Unplug and enjoy our piece of farm heaven. Can't beat the views of horses grazing and chickens free ranging! We now have baby goats and ducks as well! Cotton, tobacco, soybeans and peanuts grow in the fields surrounding our property. Take a nice walk through the woods around a pond to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Add on a fresh dozen eggs (chicken or duck), a bottle of our all natural insect repellant or an owner lead horseback riding adventure. If you're lucky you may even get to feed one of our new baby goats. Nice and quiet and an amazing view of the sunset and the stars after dark!

Great location only 15 min off I-95. Far enough away from the city and roads to see the stars at night, close enough for easy access to all modern conveniences. Accessible by a paved road. A path is cut right through the property for ease to find your ideal camping location. You can park your vehicle off the paved road or on the property itself. There is a creek a few hundred yards into the property that's not crossable by vehicle. A vehicle can pull onto the property via the cutout road but I wouldn’t pull an RV/vehicle with a trailer onto it.

Privacy at its best. Primitive camping with space to stretch out and relax. Enjoy the tranquility of nature on a wooded lot with a private clearing just for you. Pitch a tent or bring your camper—I bring mine as seen in the photos and run a generator. (Not included in your camp visit) I have been working hard to bring you a relaxing location. I love being out there . The white box stores a Hammock for your use along with a the 4 chairs to sit around the fire pit and enjoy the evenings . There is solar string lights ran for a cozy evening by the fire. Very convenient to Lake Gaston Day Use Area and the Roanoke Rapids River for fishing, about 6 minutes away. It is also about 12 minutes from the city of Roanoke Rapids for restaurants and shopping, with easy highway access to Interstate 95.

Weekend Trip to The Pines Horse Farm

The property is beautiful, the horses were running in the pasture near the RV site right after I arrived, which is always beautiful to see. The host is very responsive to my short notice given. There was a nice fire pit for guests, which I didn't use but it was nice. I would there stay again.

Great stay! Huge fenced yard. Great hosts. Convenient area. Safe. Surprisingly quiet for how close it is to everything. Uber pickup is easy for dinners out. Private entrance. Had a fire one evening. Will definitely stay here again when in the area bc it’s very convenient to the Navy base for training.

I was having trouble finding a campground in the area, then I remembered to check Hipcamp—and I struck gold. I found Kyle’s RV spot, located in a quiet residential neighborhood with plenty of space and great accommodations. It has a private entry and exit, and it’s conveniently close to shopping and the freeway. Kyle was extremely helpful and a great host. A+ experience—definitely check him out. I’ll absolutely be back.

Simple family friendly and family run campground with all the needed resources. We don’t use any of the resources of the full fledged resort campgrounds. But Busch Gardens is just a few miles away if that is what you want. We stayed two extra days to better explore Colonial Williamsburg and the other historical sites - our main goals for this stay.

Weekend Trip to Anvil Campground

Anvil is a smaller but very friendly campground that had everything we needed. The site was level and the hookups were easy to manage. Though we didn’t get a chance to use the bathrooms they looked really nice. It’s also close to all the attractions in Williamsburg and really enjoyed taking our dogs to walk the colonial area. We’d stay here again for sure! (Yes, there’s a train that’s really close but it didn’t put a damper on our fun)

Well I honestly didn’t stay because we had issues with our camper. I am new to camping and didn’t think I could back in with only my daughter with me. We had a terrible time getting it loaded and arrived after dark. I don’t see well. Someone had also parked their truck very close and at an angle to our spot (which was actually pretty big!) anyways I circled back around but the opening in that direction and from that angle meant I clipped their fence post. The fence tumbled down and I decided if I couldn’t drive straight, I definitely couldn’t back into the spot. So we left. The staff were really nice and they were reasonable with the repairs. Family liked the area. So once I figure out how to drive, we will come back.
