R.O.S.A. Land stands for Rare Occaneechi Saponi Alluvial Land-based retreat and campground offering individuals and small groups a place for rest, exploration, sanctuary, and grounding. Equal parts woodland, floodplain wetland and pastureland, R.O.S.A land is stewarding 23 acres of ecological magical oasis on a tributary of the Upper Tar River in an Aquatic Habitat deemed an important NC Natural Heritage area of the Piedmont of North Carolina. Rare mussel species and amphibians live here. Come see for yourself! This is a queer-stewarded, solidarity-focused rematriation project. This land is co-deeded to MK of Handewa Farms and owned at present by K Cox, Steward of the Respite and will be passed on to MK and her seven Afro-Indigenous children once the Roundhouse is paid down. In the meantime, an intentional community of farmhub tenants, visitors, campers and Handewa Farm members all co-habitate on the land together. We offer nature-based immersion for artists, healers, cultural and frontline organizers and their families taking time for restful resistance. It is a triptyech of woods, water and pastureland butting up against an untouched wild old hardwood forest - a combination unlikley found in the PIedmont- nestled among small tobacco, horse and hay farms in the Southeast corner of Granville County between Oxford and Roxboro in the beautiful PIedmont of North Carolina.

Back Country Canopy (#4)

This is my second trip at this campsite and I cannot wait for the third. Kristen’s camp is well kept and has everything you need to feel confident as a new camper. Our girls camping trip was a success even though we were caught in a storm, Kristen was kind enough to offer shelter and warn us of the coming rain. Overall the site was beautiful and the host was kind and communicative I will continue to recommend this site especially to new campers.

Glamp in Sonny the Wonder Bus

Lovely stay

We loved staying in the Sonny the Wonder bus! The land is really beautiful with nearby bee hives and horses and a lovely garden. The only drawback for us was sharing one composting toilet with all the other campers.

We enjoyed our stay, the bed was super comfy and my daughter spent lots of time with the horses who were very sweet and we had lots of fun playing magic school bus 😂

Glamp in Sonny the Wonder Bus

Everything & so much more!

On a whim and with less than 24 hours notice, I booked the Wonder Bus while keeping in mind there was an 80% chance of storms. I must say, staying here was the absolute most curious, fun, explorative time my mom and I have ever had. There were terrific storms. My hiking sandals were quacking from the wet grass and some boys used a duck call thinking dinner had landed on the other side of the bush. 😂 I almost lost it laughing and running away. We saw a larger cat cross the creek and slink up the hill. I wasn't sure if it was wild or what, but later we went to the beach at night, turning the lights off momentarily to see how dark it was down there. Some kind of animal made a harping noise like a hyena laughing as soon as the lantern went off and we ran up the hill giggling and terrified. The entire property is so incredible, I can't wait to see it in the fall and learn more about it. I greatly enjoyed everything from the pond to the miles of various trails, and even the company of Brandy, the most silly little beagle and forest buddy you could ever ask for. 💜

I got in without an issue, and figured everything out except how to work the sink (there was plenty accessible water from a source next to the bus). The schoolie had all the things I needed have a comfortable stay. I really enjoyed the experience!

MAGIC TYSM

Amazing space and gentle, vibrant host !! This land feels so tender and cared for !! Our spot was steps away from a gorgeous creek and there was ample space to explore and soak in the solitude. Stargazing here is WHIMSICAL.
