We had a blast camping at Daniels place in Miller’s Creek, NC. The site was extremely quiet as it has a private gate to get it so you don’t have many people coming in and out. The road is a little sketchy if you don’t have the proper vehicle. The composting toilet is a really nice addition to the site as well. Wish it was a little closer to the River but you could hear the waterfall at the site. ❤️

If you are looking for solitude, this is the place. Quiet, pitch black at night, no noise. Super relaxing.

We loved our stay here. The clearing by the shipping container was the perfect size for a couple of tents and a few hammocks. It was very peaceful and quiet except for the sound of fireworks in the distance, which is to be expected over the 4th of July weekend. We would definitely love to come back sometime.

We went with four families and had an unforgettable time! We fit two large tents and two medium-size tents, with two large canopies in the top area, and had plenty of walking around and gathering space. We also found two semi flat tent spaces for medium size tents that were a short walk down a trail. It was so beautiful and the river was such a great experience. It’s an easy walk down and a bit of a trek back up. We stayed for three nights during memorial day weekend, but at the end of the time wish we could’ve stayed the entire week. Daniel was so responsive before hand and even offered to give us a zoom meeting with a tour of the property so we knew what to expect.
Down the trail a bit further we found another place for a fire ring and put up a large tarp for an adults gathering area where we could loud and not wake them up. Our dogs ran around without leashes the entire time and loved it!
The toilet area was very clean and well kept. Just be sure not to throw cedar shavings in the urine portion. It could get clogged.
I can’t recommend the site enough, especially for the price

Our stay at the mountain and river campsite was wonderful! The area was incredibly clean (I was super impressed with the compost toilet situation) and well kept and the view was beautiful. The site is very private, but also felt safe. It’s likely best for a small group as there isn’t much flat space for tents, but other than that I couldn’t ask for anything better!

This was such a secluded property. We loved it. Although there is no trail going to the river, but you can walk down either using the gravel path that you drove on to get to the site or just walk down the steep hill. Our dogs loved playing in the river. We enjoyed quiet bonfire at night. Daniel was very responsive and kind enough to let us checkout late.

It was absolutely peaceful and free !! The only thing that we didn’t expect was the distance and limited access to the river. We were able to walk after parking the vehicle before the locked chain gate, but some of our family with disability struggled with the hike up.

Everything was great ! The land is very private but I didn’t expect the property to be very steep when inclining to the campsite. Sadly, the firewood and wood from the forest were moist and wet, which prevented us from making a fire in the fire pit. I hope the owner make sure that the chopped up wood be covered at all times since when we got there, the couple of leftover wood were not covered. Overall, everything was clean.

Booked last minute for a quick overnighter! Directions were clear and we had no trouble getting there. The space was great and super private. We really appreciated the chopped firewood. Definitely keeping this place in mind for warmer months as I’d love to explore the river. Thanks Daniel!

This was the perfect spot for a quick weekend getaway with our pup! The site was very private and Daniel's directions were perfect. We camped in our truck so didn't have to worry about fitting both a car and a tent at the site, but that would have been very easy to do. If you follow one of the trails down the mountain a little bit there's even another dug out spot with a fire pit that would easily fit another tent.

This spot was awesome! One of our favorite HipCamp sites to visit for sure – we will certainly be back. It was super easy to get up to the site and a very beautiful drive. I'd recommend an AWD vehicle to get up the mountain, but to be honest, I saw a Honda Civic drive by once doing just fine and if one has experience camping (read: not glamping) you should be able to get up in most vehicles. The site has two fire pits, a picnic table, and a latrine with instructions on how to use and the smell was never an issue for us – it was located out of the way, out of sight, but close enough that a mid-night run wasn't too bad. There are two trails on the property that we attempted, and we weren't able to go too far on the second as it was very steep and our gangly puppy was having a time (there were ropes to mark the trail and the trees were marked, and the ropes were helpful if we would've been sans pup). We opted to walk up the windy gravel road, just enjoying the absolute quiet, beautiful mountains around, and all the smells (hound pup). It seems the mountain likely has an association of some type and all those owning land/little cabins keep to themselves and understand the value of being in the (accessible) wilderness. The main campsite has a hammock nearby, and another campsite with a firepit a stone's throw from the main site. Overall, beautiful views, exactly what was promised, firewood to keep us warm, and a great weekend in the mountains.

We absolutely loved staying here! The first campsite was great and there were plenty of smaller flat areas to set up if you wanted more seclusion throughout the site. The latrine was really cool, it was so nice to have it on site and it smelled like cedar, it was very well maintained. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking to disconnect from the world for a few days and enjoy nature’s beauty.

Daniel's property was fantastic. Very secluded yet wonderfully maintained. Daniel's directions were spot on and experienced no issue getting to or in the property. The security of the property made us feel comforted and private. The site was great - a view through the trees, a great fire pit, a table with benches, and the best composting facilities I've experienced. We had a great overnight and would visit again!

My wife, son, and I had a great evening camping here. The directions are clear and accurate to get up to the site, it was pretty quiet and private, and you can hear the nearby river. As indicated, there was a nice stack of firewood available for the small fire pit and my wife was appreciative of the clean option for using the restroom. We did a little exploring, but didn’t go too far out; a rough map of approximately where the tagged trails are and where they end would be a great helpful addition, and if you’re tagging along gear for a less outdoorsy family, I’d plan to stick to the main site at the entrance for camping. Would visit again!

Literally in the middle of the woods! Lots of privacy. The land was pretty steep but there was level ground for the tent. Fit for a small group or small family. All you can hear is the water rushing from the river down below and the crickets! Latrine was close by with no smell issue either. Would love to come back to this spot again! Also, its that time of year. Beware of falling acorns!

Loved my time here. The site is unique and secluded, and offered a relaxing atmosphere. The UDDT bathroom and hammock were a bonus, as were the table and benches. This place is unlike any other campsite I’ve experienced, especially when you factor in the river. It’s extremely isolated so best for groups. The fire pit is awesome.

This camp site is up a well maintained gravel road that is gated and locked. It's very private. Lots of trees for hammocks and a large open level space for tents. It has a brick lined dug out fire pit. A nicely built small picnic table. A composting tent toilet that smelled pleasantly like cedar. Lots of hiking trails. The host has an area for firewood that is covered with a tarp for firewood. Unfortunately, the wood was wet and wouldn't burn but we had already expected that with all the rain. It did rain our first day and night there but we expected this and came prepared with our pop-up shelter that we positioned right in front of our tent. The area in front of our tent quickly became very muddy but was easily fixed with a bag of compressed sawdust pellets that we sprinkled on the ground then used our blower to blow the remains away when we left.. What can I say, we're landscapers by trade and came prepared.. 🤷🏼♀️ Lol. I absolutely loved this site/place and it was one of our best camping trips. We had no cell service and saw no other people while there which was perfect! I highly recommend this if you really want privacy and want to unplug. I really didn't want to leave.

The site was definitely what I expected it to be. We loved that we had the whole campsite to ourselves. We enjoyed our 2 days there even with all the rain we had on Saturday. We were prepared for the rain and we went to Wilkesboro to buy bedding pellets to dry up the campsite. If you plan on making a fire, make sure it hasn't rained before your arrival. All the wood was soaked around the campsite, so we went into the town to buy wood at Tractor Supply. My wife has already asked me when we're coming back here, so that should speak for itself.

Nice clean private property to set up camp with river access close by for exploring and fishing. A map of the property line, directions, and expectations were clearly stated posted. We really enjoyed the fire pit provided with stacks of fire wood to use if needed as well as a small wooded table for your convenience. We also were pleasantly surprised with the latrine provided. Sturdy and private And covered for protection from the elements, with some tp provided and also polite instructions as to how and what to do when in use.

Wow, absolutely fantastic stay!! Great, convenient location. We played all day in the river! Brought some tubes to float around, swam in the swimming hole, and had an incredible time! Very private. Definitely a steep drive up, but the gravel road is very well maintained. We saw a Prius and a Nissan Sentra go by us, so access isn’t a concern. An underrated part of the setup is the UDDT bathroom. SO much better than primitive camping and was super convenient. We will definitely be back.

“50 people and 16 acres” was extremely misleading. Maybe 0.2 acres of flat land. We barely fit 4 tents. We smelled the latrine from the fire pit and our tents (esp on day 3) - needs a lid and emptied prior to arrivals. River is not walkable. 5 cars max at site. Good for 1-2 families, but any more and you’ll be putting your tents on a rock/dirt driveway. Host was responsive, site clean, just a misleading description.

The campsite was private and quiet. Lots of trees around to provide shade and set up a hammock. River access is just a short distance away. Additionally, Daniel responded quickly to all questions or concerns through the app.
