I visited for a second time in order to remember the peaceful surroundings on my way back to home. July 10th was a special day for me, a day of Silence and
meditation.

Very friendly host. Nice area. I liked the recommendation of camping in the woods
Wonderful to be surrounded by nature, the trees, outside air, even the storm on the last night. The outdoor shower was a treat on hot days.

This place is beautiful and very special. We loved tent camping here. Kevin was incredibly responsive and kind. We would definitely come back!
What a lovely time I had visiting again. From the glamping tents, to the cruck frame, to the field, you can't go wrong when staying here. I really enjoyed wandering the trails and will absolutely be back as soon as I can.
Kevin was such a great host — the tent was great, comfy bedding, beautiful property, fabulous nature trail.
Kevin even set us up a fire after our return from a great dinner in Tarboro. It was a beautiful, clear night and the stars and moon were breathtaking.
Just can’t say enough — we’ll definitely be visiting again!!
Thanks so much!!

Oak Grove Retreat is truly a special place!!! I feel a profound sense of happiness and tranquility when I am there. The hosts consistently provide friendly service and create a welcoming atmosphere. The grounds are always well maintained, featuring beautiful moss covered trails, seasonal gardens and a lush forest. I have also enjoyed participating in several events there over the last few years and look forward to my next visit.

My first night solo camping and I couldn't have picked a better spot! I camped in the forest behind the church and it's beautiful and peaceful. Composting toilets (and an outdoor shower) are just a short walk away. Kevin was friendly and very helpful. I'll definitely stay again when I'm in the area.

There's so much to do here! From the garden, to the nature walk, to the hammocks, to the fire pits, to the chakra dance workshops and drum circles, there are seemingly limitless ways to destress and reconnect at the Oak Grove Retreat. I can't wait to come back!

Awesome property! Loved the outdoor shower, the chapel and the labyrinth. Owners and family were friendly and accommodating. I can't wait until it cools off so I can go back!
This Is A Sacred Space. The hosts have intentionally cultivated it to be so. Enter at your own Enlightenment.

This is truly a peaceful, beautiful place to camp and just be. The owners and everyone there are welcoming and helpful, they will treat you like family. Everything is so well thought out, including environmentally conscious facilities, places to meditate, a nature trail, and lots of fun, hippie art. The chapel is the best part, especially the light coming through the windows and the drums. Definitely planning on coming back, with more people next time. It truly feels like sacred ground.

My stay at Oak Grove Retreat far surpassed my expectations in every way! The location is near enough off of I95 so getting there was quick and made it the perfect to stop for the night to break up my drive south. The property has a few features I appreciated, particularly the composting toilet (a very nice one, I've seen many), the fire pit that was generously supplied with firewood (thanks again!), I had a magical moonlit stroll on the path through the woods before turning in. There is a beautiful old church building on the property that hosts a variety of interesting activities. Kevin was a friendly and attentive host. He made sure I had everything I needed, and made me feel quite welcome to enjoy the space. I would absolutely recommend this place, and recommend looking into the variety of community activities on offer as well.

Beautiful property! Great, peaceful stop between South Carolina and DC. Communicative host. Hula hoop class was extra bonus. Camping is a bit off the grid style but accommodating and well maintained. Delight is in the details.

Kevin is an outstanding host. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. I used one of the glamping tents and was very comfortable. The outdoor shower is fantastic. I will definitely return for another stay. Overall very satisfied.
The ground is truly sacred here. You will get lost in the great energy and forget your troubles in the wildflowers. Check out their fb events too! Kevin was great, very down to earth place💜
Oak Grove retreat is an amazing place ! We stayed two nights and it was a perfect fit for us and our 7months baby girl. A beautiful land, magic buildings and adorable hosts. We also met other visitors and enjoyed a beautiful fire all together ! Kids were so happy to spend some time together :)
Thank you again !
The property is just so amazing! If you’re looking for a peaceful setting that’s right off of HWY 64, this is your spot. There is a short nature trail through the woods, a wonderful labyrinth, hammocks in strategic locations and above all, an atmosphere of pure peace and love. Yes, there are traffic sounds, but I’ve been able to ignore them for the most part. I just feel like this is an oasis that has been waiting for me for a long time. Kevin and his wife are very friendly and gracious people who are “real”. The composting toilets are clean and sufficient for getting the job done. I did not use the outdoor shower, but it was made available to me.

The glamping tent was awesome; very clean and comfortable with plenty of space to sit and enjoy. The restroom was well-maintained and kept clean, and the land was a pleasure. Kevin and Trish were very hospitable and helpful.

Trish and Kevin were wonderful hosts. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The grounds and beautiful and relaxing.
I tent camped with my two sisters, we needed a place to stay on our way to Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Park (well worth visiting) the next day. Our hosts at Oak Grove Farm Woods greeted us, showed us around and explained everything clearly. The outhouse was clean and odor-free, there was a hand washing station as well as a warm water outdoor shower. We loved the hammocks and the open feeling of the property. There's lots to look at, and good places to just chill out. The road sounds were not objectionable at all. Slept soundly, woke up happy.

My weekend retreat at Oak Grove Retreat was such a magical weekend of meeting new amazing musicians and reconnecting with old friends. The land is absolutely enchanting with beautiful trees, flowers and wildlife. The labyrinth walk under the giant oak trees was the most peaceful experience. Kevin and Tricia rescued this special place on earth and nurture it for the rest of us to come and enjoy. The camping accommodations and especially the 2 “glamping” tents provide just what you need. I will definitely plan to go back again.
Great place!!Beautiful, friendly , welcoming.
The glamping was great- facilities beautiful- camping without any hassle. We also were very dry and comfortable in the night time rain.
Beautiful grounds with a nature trail.
Would go back again.
Thank you for great service.
