Great host!

Jess treated us like you would treat a guest at your house. Very welcoming and had great recommendations for the area and the campsite was very close to Max Patch which we will revisit along with this site next year!

I’m not sure I can do this justice! Sound of a creek, no light pollution so starry skies and full moon, kindness of the hosts towards me and my dog… The fresh sourdough add on and dog treats made it even more stellar! Clean, comfortable and quiet. Bathroom and some kitchen amenities available. So don’t wait! Book now and enjoy yourself! It’s also close to some great hikes to level it up even more. Can’t say enough good about this site and the hosts!

Lovely little stream-side camp spot! The woods are beautiful, the hosts were kind and gracious and the sourdough was delicious! Certainly lives up to the description. Having access to a bathroom and running water, plus a tent platform help make this a great low-effort camping trip.

Absolutely amazing stay! We felt close enough to people that we werent alone, and yet far enough away that we had our own privacy. Beautiful campsite, level pad to set up our tent on, a brook that babbled all night, and possibly the best bread in existance (Better than my SILs, and Ill say it to her face). I have a new Max Patch camping ground!!!

Solo
Tent
This was my first solo camping experience. Jess responded immediately when I had questions pre-booking, and let me know that she was available for any concerns. I loved being the only camper there, and spent the days hiking a variety of trails on and off the BRP. It was quiet, serene, a beautiful place to enjoy the solitude. Half bath was appreciated. I will definitely be back - it will be spectacular in the fall.

Amazing stay near max patch!
Tent
What an amazing place. The hosts could not have been nicer, the space felt so safe and peaceful. They mention loud farm animals, but all we could hear was the creek. Super close proximity to max patch and other amazing hikes. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone. I locked my keys in my truck and the hosts helped me find a locksmith who was there in under an hour. Best hipcamp experience I’ve ever had!

Camping in Farmland and Serenity
Tent
We really enjoyed our time camping at Jess’s place. Peaceful with the sounds a the babbling brook, and adorable hens. Our favorite was the sweet doggos. We also enjoyed stargazing from our tent. The icing on the cake was the home baked sourdough bread and farm fresh eggs.
Jess were extremely friendly and helpful. The perfect host.

Wonderful stay at this HipCamp site! The directions were clear and easy, making arrival seamless. The location is absolutely beautiful—peaceful, scenic, and well cared for. Jess was fantastic and incredibly helpful; her recommendations were spot-on and made our stay even better. Everything about the experience was outstanding, and even our dog loved the space. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

What an incredible spot. Stayed 4 days in late November. Perfect middle ground balance between primitive & glamping. We were able to see the top of Mount Mitchell & Max Patch on the same day & arrived at Max Patch just in time for a stunning sunset without spending a cent except for the fuel. The rest of the time we just enjoyed the campsite & drove around a bit locally. The campsite itself is absolutely lovely & quiet enough that we didn’t really find the need to do much else. The owners of the site were supremely polite & kept to themselves. The platform was large enough for one 2p & one 4p, with space enough for a “kitchen” table on one side. Pitched a tarp over the whole thing and were happy with the setup, even when it rained on day 3. If I had any complaints, I’d only say as a heads up if you’re looking into staying here that the WiFi down at the fire circle & tent platform is supremely sporadic & a bit temperamental. Frankly, for us it was welcome since I’m on-call all year for work, & it was nice to put the phone down & gift my kid that 90’s pre-cellphone experience. Fantastic spot, hope to be back some day.

We loved camping here! We enjoyed the quick trip up to Max Parch per Jess’ suggestion. Having a bathroom close by was amazing. Also, the coffee pot saved us from the chilly weather in the morning. We easily purchased firewood and it was brought right down to us. We also purchased some sour dough bread from the host and it is INCREDIBLE! Calm and serene for a good weekend reset

Great Site
Tent · With pets
Honestly, the best campsite experience I’ve had on Hipcamp. The site was perfect. Well made platform for tent. Good fire pit. Secluded enough for no light pollution or traffic, but we felt very safe and comfortable. Creek side for the best camp sounds. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Jess was so accommodating! This is the perfect spot. Very close to Max Patch. Having access to the bathroom was so kind and thoughtful and made it feel like glamping even though we were in a tent! I can’t wait to come back. Also her sourdough and muffins were to die for!!!

Great Spot!

We had a wonderful night staying on site! The wooden platform made for easy set up, and we appreciated chairs being on site. We loved listening to the creek as we fell asleep. Access to a bathroom was also very helpful. The host was very responsive, hospitable, and super helpful as we may our way in and out.

Jess was a very welcoming and accommodating host, and the location of the property was ideal for hiking Max Patch and some other beautiful spots in the area. It was especially nice to have an option for a campsite that isn’t at a shared campground—this spot is a great mix of privately tucked away and yet close to the house and the road that leads to it.

Girls weekend!
Tent · Group trip
My girlfriends and I gad the BEST time at Jess’s little Creekside sanctuary. It was so nice falling asleep and waking up to the sound of the creek and nature. Jess went out of town for the weekend after welcoming us and allowed us to use her porch, which was very handy when it rained, and roam around her beautiful yard all weekend. Access to the toilet, sink and refrigerator/freezer in the garage - a very short walk from the tent site - was a very nice and appreciated perk. Jess was a wonderful host, even from afar. She sent check in texts and was easily accessible if we needed anything. My only suggestion to future campers is to bring a good, thick and comfy sleeping pad, as the tent site is on a wood platform. You also MUST go hike Max Patch bald (20-25 minute drive). It’s a gorgeous 1.5 mile hike through wildflower meadows to a breathtaking 360 view of the mountains when you reach the top.

Best Camp Site On Creek
Tent · With pets
Jess was the best hostess + is so kind to share her piece of paradise. The platform was perfect for our big tent that sleeps our family of four + our four dogs! The dogs were able to run around the campsite off leash and enjoyed playing in the creek. This is the most perfect spot for a quiet, secluded getaway. Even though the site is nestled between 2 private roads, there were very few cars passing. Jess was super attentive, and the toilet availability was 💯.
Being lulled to sleep at night by the babbling creek was just the cherry on top. Such a special place for my family to enjoy a secluded, screen free place in nature. Highly recommend trying this site out 🏕️✨

Perfect Spot for Camping & Relaxing
Tent
This campsite was absolutely wonderful. The host was incredibly kind and thoughtful — many things were already well-prepared, which made our stay very comfortable.
The location next to the stream made it especially relaxing, with the soothing sound of running water throughout the day. It’s also perfectly situated for hiking nearby.
One of the highlights was the fireflies at night — there were so many, and it made the whole experience feel magical.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy nature!
