"Whose woods these are, I think I know".... (Robert Frost) As the seasons roll along, even after 23 years, as I walk through my woods, I often think of Frost's poem. The trees bright with autumn colors, winter snow making all things pure, the dogwoods coming into blossom. Eye candy. Babbling Brook Campground was started when we were in a financial famine. I wasn't sure I was the gal for hosting. It turns out, hosting is a perfect fit for me, and for our land. We started with the treehouse in April of 2018, and it continues to grow into something better each year. We have four sites, Babbling Brook Treehouse, Happy Hillside Camping, The Bird's Nest, and Cozy Cottage Farm Stay. The Cozy Cottage is up at our farm, but you have access to the camp and creek below. Up at the farm, you can be with the livestock. There is no electricity or running water, but that is part of the charm. Come, leave the world behind, have the tree frogs sing you to sleep as the babbling brook flows along the edge of the property.

"Great for casual, first time campers." ~ Holli Sit under a canopy of trees on the 12x16 deck which overlooks the creek and wetlands below. Listen to the water flow by and the frogs chirp as the night rolls in. This unique and primitive site includes many essential items and amenities in the dry kitchen. This includes a Coleman Stove, a grill for the fire ring, cookware, eating utensils, as well as other odds and ends. You barely need to pack a thing! Follow the path down the steep incline, where you will have access to the mountain stream. Pump the fresh, mountain spring water at the spring box and use it for drinking, washing, doing dishes, cooking. Even if you are an inexperienced camper, this is a great opportunity to develop a new skill without to having to spend a lot of money. Come and and see if camping is for you. Comfortable Camping. This campsite is set up with ease in mind. There is a private outhouse, kitchen amenities, several chairs, and a small picnic table. There are two sets of hammocks, the common ones, open to the sky, and the ones for camping (with a rainfly and mosquito netting). Let me know which you prefer. RULES FOR DOGS! We welcome dogs. Your dog must be friendly with people and other dogs. Please make sure your dogs are vaccinated, socialized, and quiet. We want keep our dog fees affordable.

Camping-Lite. Great for first time campers, or seasoned campers who just want something a little bit less rustic. Come camping in Moravian Falls. Take a 5 minutes walk down the steep hillside to our 20 x 20 camping deck. This site is embraced by a wooded hillside and bordered by a mountain valley where horses graze and a stream runs. This is our most private site. You can set up your tent under 10x20 open shelter. On the other side of the deck, there is a picnic table, Coleman Stove, and a variety of amenities. We have also included camping hammocks on the deck if you wish to use those instead of bringing your own tent. Walk down the stairs of the deck and sit by the campfire, grill your food on the grate, or cook some dinner on the rocket stove. Wander down the path to the common area and wade in the creek up to the waterfall. Or have a campfire at the water's edge. Hang out in a hammock. There is also a small play ground for children. You can also hand pump fresh mountain spring water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Ask about coming up and visiting our farm. The goats always like to be pet.

Treehouse · Sleeps 6 · 1 bedroom · 2 beds · 1 toilet

CAMPING LITE. There is no electricity or running water in this 12' x 12' primitive cabin. This is an awesome place get away into the woods and to introduce people to a bit of rustic camping. Hand pump fresh, mountain spring water for your water supply. Garden variety solar lights your way. Rest on the very large, partially covered deck. Listen to the creek, the tree frogs singing their night time song, and the birds that wake up the dawn. This mountain hollow is a great place for rest, play, and unplugging from everyday life. The cabin is bordered by a creek and surrounded by mature trees, hills, and a wetland. The interior of the cabin is small, simple. There is a very small dry kitchen, which is well supplied. There is a double futon on the main floor, and a queen size bed in the loft. On the deck, there is a Coleman Camping stove and a gas grill (propane included). Bring tents for groups larger than 4. There is plenty of room on the deck and down below, next to the creek, to pitch a tent if members of your group want to do some tent camping. The Tree House hangs off of a rock ledge and is supported by trees on the creek side. Whether rain or shine, this location is peaceful, private, and serene. Large trees dapple the acre sized, private site. Wade into the shallow stream, get your feet wet , and walk up to the waterfall, take a nap in one of the hammocks that line the creek, sit by the campfire. If you are party larger than 4 people, you are free to put up a tent on the deck or below, next to the creek. There is plenty of room to set up a tents if you have a larger family, or small group. Contact me, we can discuss if your group is a good fit for this site. Any questions, please ask.

Tiny home · Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 1 bed · 1 toilet

Come and experience glamping on our our mini farm. This 16x10 cottage is attached to the barn, and near to our home. It is private. The tiny house is a one room studio style space. It has electricity, with NO running water inside. There is WiFi, small appliances, (fridge, microwave, hot plate, toaster oven, coffee pot, etc.), heat and A/C. There is a comfy double bed. There are sitting areas inside and out. Outside, there is a sink with cold, potable well water. The composting toilet is outside the front door. There is also a traditional outhouse a few steps away. You can shower inside our house, just schedule a time. Sit around the campfire, cook over the coals, watch the livestock graze in the fields around you. The chickens scratch right outside your front door. Did you know that a donkey's bray sounds more like a donkey opera? The cottage site is fenced in to keep the livestock out, if that is your wish. We will instruct you on livestock protocol. While our animals are gentle, they are livestock, stronger, and bigger than you, and can cause injury. We are not responsible for that. If you want to know more about starting a small farmstead, we'd love to answer your questions. We have 20 years of experience. Beyond the farm site, you will also have access to the creek, about a 5 minute walk down the hill. There is a common area where our campers are free to gather, wade in the creek, have a campfire, relax in a hammock and read a book. Come and leave the world behind for a day or two. No dogs please. My dogs do not like strange dogs and can be unfriendly. Please consider our other sites as well. They will be listed to the right of this site on your computer screen. Dogs are allowed down at the sites down at the camp, The Babbling Brook Treehouse , Happy Hillside Hammock Camping, and the Bird's Nest. All sites are unique and are within walking distance of each other.

The property is absolutely beautiful. And Mark and Elizabeth could not be kinder. Between showing use around after dark due to our late arrival. Showing us all the animals, and even helping use out with some immune boost because of a cold brewing. They truly are the kindest most caring hosts you could ask for. Truly a great one of a kind experience. Will absolutely being going back in the future. Elizabeth promised to teach us pressure canning.
