Easy location, camp all to yourself! It is located behind a Lowe’s and there is a neighborhood in sight, but it was quite and did not bother us at all.

Very chill, easy access to the property and nice views. You also have easy access to everything in Sylva, but that proximity does mean that you will have some car noise but that didn't bother us at all. This is a great spot and I'll certainly come back when I'm in the area.

This lil spot was so cute and perfectly private. Loved being up on the hill and the lil trails that you could walk in the woods on. Loved being there!

This place was a perfect rest after a long day of hiking. Our dogs really enjoyed the big open field and I loved that there were picnic tables and chairs available.
Area was very private despite being so close to town. You can hear some cars but it was so tucked away it felt like we had our own little place.
Would recommend for dog lovers!

What a nice place. Stopped here in the Sprinter on my travels south. Beautiful setting so close to town. Easy to get to, great communication along the wY. Would certainly stay here again

Wow, what an incredible hidden gem! This place was absolutely perfect for our family of five, with three kids. It offers a stunning plot of land with breathtaking mountain views, spacious areas to camp and play, and wooded trails throughout the property for exploring and hiking. The dog agility course was a highlight—our dogs had a blast and even showed off some new tricks! It’s a private oasis that far exceeded all our expectations.
The location is unbeatable. You feel like you’re tucked away in a peaceful natural retreat, yet you’re just minutes from downtown Sylva, with its charming shops, breweries, and restaurants. Everything you might need, from groceries to gas, is also just a short drive away, and Cherokee is only 25 minutes away.
Although we couldn’t use the fire pits on the property due to a state-wide burn ban, the host was incredibly thoughtful and provided a camping stove for us. Plus, there’s a hammock with a perfect view of the mountains—ideal for relaxing.
We’d seen a mention of road noise in another review, which made us wonder about the safety for the dogs and kids, but there was no issue at all. The road noise is in the distance and not because you are on a main road. You can't see any traffic from the property.
We highly recommend this hidden gem, and we’re already planning our next visit! Our family unanimously agreed that it’s our favorite HipCamp spot by far!

We had an amazing time! The space feels very private and we were able to have our dogs off leash. They even have a fenced dog agility area that we were free to use along with a picnic table, fire pit, chairs, and cornhole. There was some road noise, but it was pretty minimal. We would definitely recommend this place for a weekend getaway!

Wonderful spot. You feel like you’re away from everything but you can really walk to the grocery store. The site is very clean and safe. Thanks again for a nice stay in Sylva.

10/10!! This location was great proximity to downtown Sylva and Franklin. The spot was very private and our two dogs loved all the open space to run and be free! The views were also great! We will 100% rebook and stay again in the future!

We really enjoy this area. It’s very peaceful and even thought it’s at the end of a neighborhood it feels very secluded. It’s just a great space.

Beautiful property and exactly as advertised. Had no problem navigating our 30ft class C to the parking area. Our pups had a great time too. Would stay again!

What a great little spot tucked away in greater metro Webster. You can tell Leisa puts on the work to make everyone feel comfortable. She provides a table, chairs, hammocks, fire ring and wood!
I was only there a few hours before we got the “death is imminent” call from hospice regarding my father. When I let her know we were leaving early, she refunded my fee on her own accord. It’s not something I expected nor did I ask for but such a kind, gracious gesture needs to be recognized.

This area is a in what feels like an excluded field on the top of a mountain. But it’s just at the end of a street in the middle of town. The host has the space cleaned and ready for the visit. They even gathered up some fire work for us. It’s a great place to stay that is just relaxing. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Beautiful large area. Very convenient location to Sylva. Incline to the top of the knoll was steep enough I need 4 wheel drive with a bit of a running start to make it with our 25 ft camper attached. Without the camper, incline was not a problem in 2 wheel drive. Top of the knoll was just large enough to make a u-turn to be in position for departure.

This was a really special place! It was gorgeous, private and you can tell Leisa really valued our having a great stay. They had a lot of special touches on the property and were very attentive when we had a question. There was a bit of road noise but it didn’t bother us at all.
