Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages. Merlefest, the last weekend of April, is a world class Bluegrass festival, is located right in our town. Be sure to look at the activities section below for additional information.

Happy Hillside Tent & Hammock Camp

Tent site · Sleeps 6
"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. They may in contact with other campers dogs. Disclaimer: This property is on a steep embankment, with many steps, that can be slippery when wet. We do our best to make things safe.

Birds Nest Tent and Hammock Camping

100% (5)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
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.

Babbling Brook Treehouse

98% (196)
Treehouse · Sleeps 6
Get away from everyday life, and experience homestead living in a primitive cabin with no electricity and no running water. Listen to the creek, the tree frogs singing their night time song, and the birds waking 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. There is a double bed and a queen size bed. Bring tents for a larger group. There is plenty of room on the deck and down below next to the creek. Walk down the steep hillside to the 12x12 insulated, rustic cabin. The cabin has been extended with a large, partially covered, deck. The Tree House hangs off of a rock ledge. 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, sit on the deck,  hang in a hammock and, rest near the fire pit. The interior of the cabin is small, simple. There is a very small dry kitchen, with is well supplied. The loft has a queen sized bed. The main floor has a futon that opens into a double bed. 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. We can discuss if your group is a good fit for this site. The kitchen has cabinets for some storage and a place for food preparation. To make your stay easier, we have many amenities, food items, as well as cooking  equipment. On the deck there is Coleman camping stove and a gas grill available for your use. Any questions, please ask.

Cozy Cottage Farm Stay

100% (17)
Tiny home · Sleeps 2
"Glamping-ish" Come and visit our mini farm for a few days. Hug a mini donkey. Pet the goats.  If you want to know more about having a small farmstead, we'd love to answer your questions, if we are able. This 16x10 cottage is on our farm, attached to the barn, and near to our home. It is private. The tiny house has electricity, WiFi, small appliances, (fridge, microwave, hot place, toaster oven, coffee pot, etc) , heat and A/C. There is a comfy double bed, sitting area, and wood stove. The composting toilet is outside the front door. There is also a traditional outhouse a few steps away. Outside, there is a sink, with cold, running, well water. If you want to take a shower, you may use our house. Just ask and schedule a time. Drink your morning coffee and watch the livestock graze, and 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. 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, sitting by the creek, have a campfire, or just relax and reading a book. 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.
