Hi there. Here is a little rundown of everything we do at the mill….
So, as far as camping, there are two main options on either side of the river; the mill yard or primitive camping across the river. In the mill yard, we do festival style camping, meaning that there are no individual campsites per se, but rather a large grassy lawn near the mill and bathhouse with shared fire pits, picnic tables, charcoal grill, and sinks for water/dishes. We also have two platforms up in the woods that are good for a little more privacy and are completely shaded, but do require a small climb up the hill. The bathhouse has three restrooms and hot showers in each.
Across the river, there are several more primitive sites that are generally very private and offer great sounds coming from the river and waterfall, but no facilities. Most sites are car accessible, and a 5 minute walk back over to the mill (or a 1 minute drive). Lastly, our newest camping spot on the primitive side is a river front beach right by the dam with space for a several medium sized tents and a private fire pit. The beach is hike-in only (2-3 minutes along a mostly flat trail).
Our normal rate is $10 per person per night. Firewood is available for $10 per wheelbarrow load. We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, Paypal, and crypto. We are also fairly flexible on check in/check out times, but just let us know if you’ll be arriving at odd hours. Dogs are generally welcome as long as they are kept on leash.
Here is a little rundown of tubing at the mill (May-October, weather permitting). We have two tubing options available. We have a short Fun Run that takes roughly 45 minutes, and cost $10 per person for as many rides as you’d like. The river bends sharply like a horseshoe in this section, so it makes everything accessible by foot traffic. It’s a 3 minute walk up the trail to the dam, put in and float 30-45 minutes (depending on water level), then a 5-10 minute walk back to the mill carrying your tube. There is also the longer Forks Run, which last 3-4 hours (~2.5 river miles), and costs $15. For this, we shuttle you up the river in a vehicle, and you float back to the top of the dam, then 3 minutes walking back to the mill. Most weekends, tubing starts at 11 am and the last Forks Shuttle is around 3 pm, with the Fun Run staying open till around 5. Also, with enough heads up, we can sometimes arrange for trips during the week.
Our tubes are required for each person floating for insurance and liability reasons, but you are welcome to bring your own cooler tubes to carry drinks and snacks. Technically, alcohol is not permitted on the river, but what is in your cooler is your business. Either way, please bring ALL trash out with you! Water shoes are recommended, and we have life jackets on request. Most of our tubes come with bottoms and back rests, but a few are open to the water. Most weekends, reservations are not required, but it does help tremendously if we know when you want to come and how many in your group.
Lastly, check out a Facebook page for our occasional live music events and festivals!

Our STORE offers firewood (delivered to your site!) , meats and eggs from our farm, Tallow & lard (both rendered right here!), drinks, Amish made ice cream and jams/jellies/preserves, hammocks, hammock chairs, smoked dog bones, soaps (made right here), rentals of: cast iron cookware, a tent, Coleman stove, fishing poles, ... and MUCH MORE!
Please note that all our sites are reserved with a one vehicle limit. Some sites are large enough to accommodate additional vehicles but each additional vehicle will incur a $10 per night charge. Free parking for additional vehicles is located at the office/store.

Peace, quiet, tranquility and privacy are overflowing along the creek, and hiking throughout the hills on the backside of the farm (and on the other side of the creek) leads to interesting and abundant flora and fauna. The stocked, spring fed pond is 'brimming" with angler challenges🎣
Our cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese are all eager to meet you, as are we! We currently have fresh eggs, pork and beef for sale on site as well. Like us on Facebook (Harmon Creek Farms of NC) for the latest on what's going on here at the farm. :)

In our journey towards "Duyukta" which means maintaining a harmonious way of being and showing respect for other creatures and nature, we found this amazing land and would love to share it with you! We hope to grow with this land, and offer many ways to enjoy it and offer additional opportunities to learn more about Duyukta including forest bathing/therapy, river walking, meditation, yoga and more.This property was recently listed under another owner with 95% approval ratings we strive to continue earning the same.Learn more about this land:This land is nested within a very private gated community of unspoiled nature surroundings, full of campsite locations, breath-taking mountain views, and direct access to the rejuvenating Reddies River and it's scenic waterfalls. Whether you come solo or as a group, you get the entire 14+ acres to yourself. There are several trails to hike through. There is a very clean river which is accessed from a short walk on the lower level of the property (private access) as well as from a community lot which is a short drive past the property. The river is one of the best-known Rainbow Trout fishing spots in Millers Creek. Feel free to make yourself at home, enjoy the private, peaceful surroundings, wildlife, and the sound of the rustling river. You can have campfires, there are firepits available at two different locations on the property - please practice fire safety. Roam the trails, and enjoy all this mountain has to offer. Note: this is mountainous terrain with sloping trails. Located only minutes away from the town of Miller's Creek, the Blue Ridge Parkway and many other amazing recreations (close to civilization but the community makes you feel you are far away from it all).Relax, Rewind, Restore and Rejuvenate at the Reddies River

My boyfriend and I were looking for a fun overnight getaway from home, and boy were we surprised! Sly’s property was conveniently located just a couple miles away from downtown Floyd. It’s right off the main road, but the creek and trees make it seem as if you’re in the middle of nowhere! It’s got a great community area with a fire pit and outdoor kitchen - both stocked with everything you can imagine you’d need. There’s a bathhouse being built but a fully functional bathroom right next to it. We had a great time watching the chickens wander, and stargazing by the fire. We’ll definitely be back in warmer weather to listen to some live music!

I really loved staying at Matthew’s property. It was secluded, clean, quiet, and beautifully maintained. The privacy and peacefulness made it a perfect getaway. Plus, the location is a close drive to the parks and hikes. I’ll definitely be back and will bring friends too. Highly recommend it to anyone.

I’ve had this Hipcamp on my list for a while and am so glad I finally made it. The spot was right on the creek and we slept so well. Kid friendly, dog friendly, and Sly was a great host.
