RV/tent site · Sleeps 20 · Vehicles under 20 ftBear Branch Creekside (aka "Hangtown") is a cool, quiet spot offering a great escape for smaller groups that love being outside. It is on the neighboring property of our 100-acre farm and allows access to our hiking trails and mellow creeks. The firepit and hammock area is a short distance from the creek where there is a large, flat area for tents. During extreme rains and weather, keeping the tents closer to the fire pit area may be necessary since the creek sometimes rises. Our trail system passes through the site but there is not much traffic. We encourage hammocking. The record so far is 3 - very beatable if you bring a few extra hammocks.
*The lane to the site is dirt, which means during wet weather it gets muddy and slick. AWD or 4WD is recommended during wet weather. There is room for one 2WD car even when wet.
We have a dog that lives here on the farm, Hopper, who is a great tour guide if you're out walking on the trails. He is friendly and gets along with most other pets. We ask that you do not feed him anything, especially NO human food.
*FIREWOOD: We try to keep a supply of dry firewood at the site in exchange for donations. It is often difficult to keep up with demand during colder seasons. It's best to check with us before your trip to find out if we have wood available. We have a few local options if we're out. Feel free to bring your own. If you do use our firewood please be mindful of how much you burn. Collecting, splitting, and moving firewood is not cheap in time, money, or energy.
