Beautiful 20+ acres with a large pond all to yourself! Situated conveniently next to the state highway, our farm has a barn and newly planted blue berries and fruit trees. Fishing, canoeing, stargazing, wildlife watching... a perfect place to relax and unwind. Local attractions include Animal Park at the Conservators Center and the charming downtown Mebane. Pets are welcomed. Take a walk around the pond or venture into the woods, and enjoy your stay! P.S. If you are planning an extended stay (more than 4 weeks) or have a party exceeding 6 people, please reach out to me directly. Thank you.Dry camping only. We currently don't have marked areas, but multiple camping spots are available. Please no tents or vehicles in the barn. If you choose to camp down by the pond, please note that the area is low and tends to get muddy. Only tents can be set up down the pond. All vehicles should stay on the main grass driveway. Thank you! There are no other campers on the property. During the growing season, we mow the grass about twice a month and do maintenance work around the pond and on the blueberry and other plants occasionally. If you happen to see people working on the property, that will be us.

Beautiful serene space that was well taken care of. Slept great and our dog had an amazing time running around the wide open space. Highly recommend!

I enjoyed my stay at By the Water. Really large pond. I didn't venture out. Just wanted some quiet time. Will stay there again.

Beautiful, private, and excellent fishing! We liked how shutting the gate behind us made it feel even more secluded. There were many great options for where to pitch our tent. There was quite a bit of noise from neighboring properties - shooting practice (afternoon/evening only), dogs, road noise and roosters/screaming chickens that continued throughout the night. I recommend ear plugs or noise cancelling headphones/ear buds to sleep. While it appeared there was a lot going on around us, we didn't see anyone else nor anything but the beautiful fall leaves and reflections in the lake. The positives more than outweighed the negatives, and we would return.

Very pleasant place! I spent a night here in my van; it was quiet, peaceful, and the view of the pond (almost a lake) was beautiful. Property is easy to find, entry is through a gate, and road/two track in is very well maintained. Level ground and good cell service (Spectrum in my case). Another Hipcamp winner!

Wendy was an excellent host and was very responsive to my queries and requests. The property is very picturesque and the main camp site large enough for 2-3 small to medium sized tents. Like other reviews, I would mention that the site is only about 100-150 yards from a state highway and the nearby roosters crowed 24 hours a day so there is some noise. The dogs from the nearby kennel (sounded like hunting hounds) barked off and on during the day and night as well so if you are looking for quiet solitude this may not be the place for you. That being said, we didn't find it too distracting.

This place is a hidden gem! I’m almost hesitant to leave a review for fear of it being booked solid. Very peaceful, secluded, so many places to set up a tent ( we tent camp). This was our first time here and we have already booked again in 2 weeks. Host was very helpful with information as well. Highly recommended!
