Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat

Evan’s place is perfect. It represents Hipcamp and what it was and is supposed to be. A unique glamping experience with everything you need. It’s also near the parkway so the stars and views are amazing

Perfect escape to the mountains!

I can’t say enough about how great this place is! The property is beautiful, and also secure. I felt safe being there. The different sites are far enough from one another that you don’t feel like you’re there with anyone or on top of each other. The yurt itself (I stayed in the Gnome) was clean and well kept, had every thing I could need or want. It was comfortable and felt very cozy on the chilly nights. Sitting on the deck for breakfast and dinner was perfect. The view is beyond words! Having utensils, propane heat, electricity for basics like charging electronics, and everything I need for cooking was perfect. Add on top of that the little additional things like games, towels, a little rechargeable and portable lamp, and cleaning supplies, this place was perfect! Even if I never left the property it was an amazing vacation with great hiking and a beautiful serene escape. My dogs both loved being able to explore off leash and I never felt like they were unsafe. I’m already planning my trip back next fall with my entire family!

I loved my stay, the yurt was immaculate and the property beautiful and fun to explore! It was such a good time I booked another night while I was out there; the host was amazing and I will definitely be back. 10/10

i absolutely loved staying here! the bed was so comfy, the towels were lovely, the coffee was amazing, the yurt was spacious & the heater was very nice. i loved all the personal touches like the gratitude journal & the games and activities for guests to do- i wish i had more time here! my only complaint would be that the outdoor shower water was FREEZING- would love to have a warm shower. might be OK / better in the warmer months

Hidden Oasis in the mountains

Literally the most earth-friendly place I’ve ever stayed! I’m an experienced camper and boondocker who has owned multiple RVs, so I know my nature vibes—and this spot truly blew me away. It offered the perfect balance of comfort and connection to the outdoors. The dome felt like a romantic getaway surrounded by nature, yet had all the amenities you could ask for: a private shower, a grill with a burner, pots and pans, electricity, and even great cell reception. It was peaceful, rejuvenating, and thoughtfully designed with sustainability in mind. I’ll definitely be coming back—and honestly, I could see myself staying here for an entire month if possible.

Wonderful Getaway in Quiet Woods

With kids ·

One of our favorite HipCamp’s to date, Evan and friends are running a legit campground/ retreat here, and it’s really really wonderful! We stayed in the yurt with 2 beds, ‘Wild Fairies Do Yoga’ and found it peaceful and quiet, away from people/other sites and beautifully immersed in the WNC woods. The convenience of showing up and not having to set up a tent/beds but still having the camping experience (campfires, quiet, off-grid) was perfect for us after a long week. The beds were also SO comfortable!!! We did bring some firewood with us because as noted the firewood at the site (and bundles sold by the host) were quite damp. We also brought drinking water and were glad we did because though the site provided jugs of water filled from the nearby spring (and instructions on how to refill), the instructions said it was for cooking and hand/dish washing and we did note that there was some particulate in it (we used it to make coffee, though, without an issue!). We enjoyed all the hikes on site, the waterfall hike and hike up to the peak view, though the latter was less clearly marked (an adventure!). Our kids loved playing the little pool below the waterfall. Evan was so helpful with planning and has kept up an extensive website for his outdoor business (OuterCamp) which has many local hike suggestions, be sure to check that out, there are several in the area of which we enjoyed a few! We will definitely be back, it was just the camping trip we hoped for without the setup work!

I loved staying at the “fairy morvana” yurt! 🧚Really special and beautiful place. It’s set up so nicely with all the camping essentials as well so you don’t have to spend days packing beforehand. Hoping to make this a family tradition!

This was the perfect setup for a long weekend getaway from Charlotte! The Yurt and the property were fantastic and well stocked. The location couldn't be better, with access to the parkway and numerous trails and waterfalls. We'll definitely be back.

Peace, Beauty, and Hospitality

Evan was an incredibly helpful and attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a smooth and enjoyable stay. From arrival to checkout, communication was clear and thoughtful, which really made the experience stress-free. The space itself is exactly as described — beautiful, peaceful, and set up with care. Photos don’t capture how refreshing it feels to actually be there. The highlight for us was the private waterfall, which felt like our own little hidden escape. This is the kind of place where you can unplug, breathe deeply, and really take in the surroundings. We left feeling recharged and grateful. Highly recommend both the retreat itself and Evan as a host.

This place was amazing! The yurt is tucked away in the woods and it was magical spending time on the porch or indoors listening to the stream and woodland creatures. I loved cooking breakfast in the morning and seeing the silhouette of the mountains through the trees. Would absolutely stay there again

A beautiful and thoughtful site! You're really on the side of a mountain here. The yurt was lovely - the king-sized mattress so comfy, and the outdoor kitchen came so well-equipped. Evan has obviously put a lot of heart and soul into making this the perfect spot. The pit toilet was close to the yurt and clean, too, always a bonus in the outdoors.

Peaceful, big, private, gorgeous !

Usually, you have certain expectations when you vacation at a new place and you always look at the pictures with a grain of doubt. But I will tell you the pictures did not do this place justice. We originally booked two nights in the Gnomes Yome, and from the moment we saw the Yurt in the distance it took our breath away. Entering into the structure, we were breathless. It was huge! It was decorated beautifully, very, very private, airy and light, with a lot of windows. It instantly felt like a place that I could truly relax and unwind. Surrounded by Hickory and magnolia trees, with a little peekaboo of the mountains in the distance off the deck. Can I say the bed was so comfortable? And that is coming from someone with severe lower back pain. The bed was so comfortable. I asked Ethan what type of mattress it was. Ethan was so helpful answering so many of my questions, that probably could’ve been answered if I would’ve read the instructional information within the Yurt lol. He gave us some ideas of some waterfalls to go see and that did not disappoint. We booked the third night and still didn’t want to leave, so we booked a fourth night. I can’t tell you how peaceful and beautiful this place was. It even had enough room for us to practice our salsa dancing. We brought our two dogs who absolutely enjoyed their stay. Also Ethan encouraged us to walk around the property and view the other yurts. He has done such a wonderful job with the construction of these beautiful yurts.

Overall Disappointing

We were really looking forward to a peaceful glamping getaway, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing enough that we didn’t end up staying the night. While the basics were technically provided, the quality just wasn’t there. The grill was extremely rusted and looked like it could topple over at any moment. We also ran out of propane halfway through cooking dinner, which left us with half-cooked food and no backup option. As for kitchen basics, there was some black pepper, but no salt or cooking oil, which made meal prep unnecessarily difficult. There was dish soap, but it was so watered down it barely cleaned the dishes — which is a real concern when you're camping in the woods where minimizing food scent is key to avoiding wildlife encounters. The fire pit had only one usable chair and the broken remnants of another. The windows had screens with large holes, which rendered them unusable- a major disappointment, especially in the middle of summer. It felt like the property may have been built with care several years ago but has been neglected ever since. We understand bugs are part of being in nature, but the large spider web right next to the front door was hard to overlook and made us feel like cleanliness and upkeep weren’t being prioritized. We ended up packing up and leaving the same evening. With a little maintenance and care, this place could be great — but as it stands, it fell far short of what we were expecting from a glamping experience.

This was wonderful. Private, quiet, and comfortable. They've added all sorts of thoughtful touches, such as binoculars and a cooler with ice, to help you enjoy your stay. We didn't shower or cook only because out stay was so brief. My first time glamping rather than camping, and it was great!

I recently stayed at Geri’s Creekside Yurt, it was such a magical experience. The yurt was super private and secluded, with the creek just about 20 feet away. The walkway to the yurt was also really accessible, almost stroller-friendly, compared to other areas that had more steps. Inside, they provided both a fan and heating, making it comfortable no matter the weather. There were also plenty of board games, books, and other games for entertainment. They had so much thought into all of the essentials provided we almost felt we overpacked! The attention to detail was amazing. Everything was thoughtfully labeled, making it easy to find your way around. Even the outhouse, which I was initially worried about, turned out to be no issue at all. The interior design was also so warming and beautiful to enjoy, even the linens and towels were thoughtfully chosen. Overall, it’s clear that so much thought and care went into creating this peaceful space, highly recommend this beautiful retreat :)

Such a Lovely Glamp Experience!

The yurt was awesome! Cozy and comfy, with a beautiful large deck surrounded by trees and bird song. We felt like we were sleeping in a treehouse in Costa Rica! The kitchen was well stocked and we loved that it was outdoors. We did see 3 bears while we were there, but they were not at all concerned with us. When we said “hey bear” to them they sauntered off in the other direction. Hoot Owl falls was lovely as well!

Great Amenities

Group trip ·

I typically tent camp in more rustic settings, but this time around we splurged for my son's birthday and I was pleasantly surprised. The Wild Fairies Yurt was really nice! Beautiful setup with 2 comfy beds, a propane grill with a table and sink nearby, a solar generator with outdoor and indoor lights, and even a shower down the pathway. It was wild how we were only a few minute drive from Walmart, but it felt completely secluded. I definitely recommend this place and my son wants to come back and do it again, so I give this place an A+ rating. Book it today!

The Magic of the Yome

I can not find the words to fully capture the beauty and magic of this stay at Gnome Yome. We absolutely loved every second of it. While it had everything we could possibly need, we embraced the way nature and the views brought us connection and disconnection from all distractions. We will definitely be back!
