Voted "2023's 3rd BEST HIPCAMP IN NORTH CAROLINA". Nestled in the heart of southeast North Carolina and conveniently located an hour from Wilmington, Jacksonville and Fayetteville — our 40+ acre family land is situated directly on historic Black River. Well known for its beautiful trees, wildlife and fisheries, Black River is also home to the oldest bald cypress forest in the world, many being alive hundreds of years before Jesus walked the earth. We are the only riverfront camping experience on Black River so we aim to provide you the best views, the most exceptional hospitality (from hosts Lisa and Eric), with hopes that you leave completely happy with our little piece of heaven and wanting to return year after year!

Site 0 is the northern area of our riverside property. It includes sites 1 and 2 and allows a bit larger group by utilizing the northern most underutilized area. This area has 3 picnic tables, 3 trachcans and 3 fire-rings and a park style grill. This large area is a bit separated from the other sites with beautiful views and immediate access to the river. Call or message beforehand to discuss any potential for tiny tow-behinds or camper vans.
