This property is 180 acres of woods and mountains with streams and ponds. Beautiful settings. If you like hiking in the mountains this will definitely hit the spot. YO can fish in the ponds it has blue gills and catfish. I also added grass carp there as part of weed management. This used to be an abandoned farm which I want to bring back to life. The site offers three luxury large Safari Style Tents and 4 Pioneer wagons. All tents are far away from each other to provide privacy and freedom of going Wild (still remaining civilized in your manners and careful attitude to Nature around you). Tent 1 is in the Forrest itself and it is pretty cook and serene. Tent 2 is on the top of a rocky hill overlooking the forest. Tent 3 is the most remote and closest to the ponds. It has most of the open space around it, and can be a great place for parties. We are working on making the sites and the area more comfortable, but I do not want to make it a manicured park. I want it to remain wild and still offer comfortable stay. The farm is work in progress. Eventually it will be an Ostrich farm. and have other animals too. The closest town - Lenoir is about 12 miles away . Closest Grocery store (Dollar General) - about 3 miles away. Closest Gas station - 2 miles away. Professional Tennis court, Basketball court and large kids playground are in a public park within - 5 minute drive. Lenoir has restaurants, shopping, etc. Hickory is a larger town about 25 minutes drive. Hickory Lake is a large reservoir with marina where you can rent a boat and it also offers a good game fishing. Nice swimming beach access on Lake Hickory 13 miles ( 20 Minutes) from here: Lake Hickory Wittenburg access area (Wittenburg Access Area, 175 Wildlife Access Rd, Hickory, NC 28601) Asheville is 1:25 hrs to the West, Charlotte is 1:25 hr to the East. There are couple of Ski resorts 45 minutes to an hr away.

Tent 2 King of the Mountain Camping

100%
(7)
Safari tent · Sleeps 6
This Tent 2 is called “King of the Mountain”, because it is placed at the top of the rocky hill, that I call “A killer’s hill” because only a tough off road vehicle can make it up that hill. The prize for making it up the hill is a front row parking. If you have a regular car you can park at the bottom of the hill. Just a short walk up the hill and you will see a beautiful tent with a cozy campground with flowering Mountain Laurel and a carpet of wildflowers on the hill slope. The mountain view that opens up from the deck make you feel like “the world is yours”. There are no other tents or houses that you can see around you. This place is just for you, your friends and family. The Tent itself is a large luxury Tent that has four beds ( cots). The Tent sits on a deck facing the view, where you can sit and watch the clouds go by. Off the deck there is a large picnic area with fire pit and picnic table. There is a single person hammock fitted in the middle of tree bunch. There is also a large hammock, from which you can supervise your kids or husband and tell them what to do, while trying to keep a delicate balance (on the hammock). The toilet and the shower cabin, are behind the Tent. The shower is an outdoor shower. The toilet is a Poo-Pee Toilet system: you poop in one toilet and you pee in the other. After you finished doing #2 - drop some sawdust in the hole! We provide some starter firewood, but there is plenty more in the forest. if you think there is not enough firewood in the forest - more can be purchased at the barn. Besides the Tent itself you have 180 acres of land to roam around. Hiking trails, Fishing pond. Mountain views. The civilization in the form of the town of Lenoir is about 11 miles away. There you can find all regular brand shops, fast food, restaurants etc. The town of Hickory offers more choices and also a very large lake with several marinas, where you can get a boat. There is a Tennis court in a community park about 5 -8 minutes away by car. Asheville is about 1.5 hr away to the West and Charlotte is about 1.5 hr away to the East. The nearest airport is Concord Regional Airport, 115 km from the accommodation.

Mountain Getaway. Safary Tent 3

Safari tent · Sleeps 6
This Tent is located in the most charming place. My favorite place. The tent is sitting at the edge of a sunny meadow. Surrounded by forest. A picturesque path leads on the top of the ridge to the ponds nearby. The Location is the most remote from everything. And there is enough space to set additional tents or have a nice birthday party. The toilet is a Poo-Pee Toilet system: you poop in one toilet and you pee in the other. After you finished doing #2 - drop some sawdust in the hole! We provide some starter firewood, but there is plenty more in the forest. if you think there is not enough firewood in the forest - more can be purchased at the barn.

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.

Safari tent · Sleeps 6
Tent for rest in the forest. Private Luxury tent in the woods. Tent1. The Tent 1 located on top of the mountain, deep in the forest and surrounded by mature trees. When you are there, it feels like you are in a magic forest far away from everything, yet it is pretty short walk to the driveway. To get to the Tent you need to drive along the private drive way and park at the edge of the field. Then there is a short walk from that parking spot to the tent probably 300 -400 feet up a gentle hill. It is possible to drive directly to the Tent 1 and park right there, but if you want to do that you have to have a 4 wheel drive off road vehicle. Because there is a steep rockface slope that needs to be climbed at one point. That slope I call “A Killers Hill”, because it will test your car and your driving skills. The toilet is a Poo-Pee Toilet system: you poop in one toilet and you pee in the other. After you finished doing #2 - drop some sawdust in the hole! We provide some starter firewood, but there is plenty more in the forest. if you think there is not enough firewood in the forest - more can be purchased at the barn.

Pioneer Wagon Settlement - Wagon 4

100%
(2)
Safari tent · Sleeps 3
Starting from Philadelphia, the Great Wagon Road turn down South and went into North Carolina and further down to Georgia and another branch to Tennessee and further West. By all accounts it was a rough road. So the Waggoneers had to stop and enjoy a rest in a beautiful mountain settings . You have a chance to experience the same beautiful mountain setting and spend a night or two in a Pioneer wagon, looking in the dark night sky with myriads of starts, cooking food on fire, exploring surrounding mountains, fishing and gathering berries and mushrooms. As the time passed the wagons now have electricity, refrigerator and air-conditioner. But the road is still rough and the bugs are still invading the wagons and make you appreciate sterile, bug free, environment of big cities. (Waggoneers had to deal with these seasonal bug invasions and so you have to as well, as part of the outdoor living experience) There are four wagons on site, each with individual fire pit and water barrel. There is also a communal gathering area with large firepit and Flintstone era thrones. This is a great place to spend a relaxing weekend or holiday. Or a get together location to celebrate a birthday or just have a nice party by the huge communal fire place. For families with kids this will be an unforgettable place to enjoy outdoors. There is a play ground for small children, set of games, and a court to play badminton or ball games. Besides the camp area there are 180 mountainous acres for you to explore with hiking trails, ponds and streams. Be aware that this is a rural forested mountain area. There are wild animals around. There are also insects. Different seasons – different insects. They will be bugging you. ( DISCLOSURE: The Actual Great Wagon Road did not actually go through Lenoir. Western path went more to the North and the Southern path went through Charlotte. But people did get to Lenoir somehow, so the story above might still be true)

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
Such a a Cool spot! Adil provided So many awesome helpful ways to ease the stay including chairs, hammock, grill, camping and fire supplies! The hike to tent from car parking was tough on my 4 year old but the tent was super secluded and peaceful so hence the walk. We tried to fish in the pond-caught a sunny first cast then nothing else but property is beautiful and if kids were more patient we could have fished longer. Cutting down some spots along water would be helpful for fishing. Had a great stay! Thanks again!

Had such an amazing time on our recent gambling trip! The wagon tent made the journey itself feel special – it had everything we needed: comfy air conditioning, a handy fridge, and cozy lights that made the space feel so warm and inviting. The view along the way was stunning too – rolling hills, and plenty of photo-worthy moments.

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
It was beautiful and accurate to the description. Definitely allowed us to connect with nature while still having some comforts. The only things that we can complain about is that tent 1 has a broken zipper along half of the entire length of the entrance. This can be a safety issue as well as allowing bugs in. Also, only half the string lights worked, and the ones that did flashed constantly the entire night, illuminating the tent even with the window flaps closed. These are two minor fixes that could make the place not only a better, safer stay, but a 10 out of 10 in our opinion.

I loved car camping on Adil's property!! I was originally supposed to be camping in his primitive area which is a rocky road to get there then it is not just no water, no electricity primitive it is like forge your own path primitive!! So I said to myself, I am not staying up here, I didn't feel comfortable especially by myself (the first night) and there was really no clear flat areas to set up a tent or park a car. It looked like he was just starting the primitive sites, small cleared out areas, trees cut down with stumps still there, very tall grass......definitely would never stay up there with kids!! Having said all that, Adil was nice enough to let me park in his wagon camp since nobody else was staying there which was very neat and nice, potable water in barrels, electric in the wagons with coffee pot and toaster. There is a cute rustic outhouse, nice touch to go along with the experience! We definitely hope to come back for a 2nd stay in his wagons!! Thank you so much, Adil!!

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
Tent 1 was a breath of fresh air for first time campers like my partner & I! The tent was big with a queen size bed, a shelf on the inside, multiple window flaps, a big deck & multiple chairs. Having a bathroom, sink, & shower accessible made our stay a lot smoother! There was a broom and dust pan that helped sweep away the crazy amount of stink bugs (the bugs didn’t bother us in the slightest). The string lights made the ambiance romantic (which was perfect for our occasion). Firewood is provided that was tucked close to the tent just in case it rains (it did rain). Having a grill and fire pit all ready to go made preparing food and roasting marshmallows all the more enjoyable! Adil responded to all my questions in a timely manner, which was appreciated! The hike that’s described, in our opinion was not bad at all. Would recommend bringing a wagon if you plan to bring quite a bit necessities like we did lol. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Tent 2 King of the Mountain Camping
We were very pleased with our stay in Tent 2. The walk up the rocky hill to the tent was easy and our 4 wheel drive made it to the tent with ease. The non 4 wheel drive suv we parked at the bottom of the hill. Brand new queen bed was so comfortable. Great communication with the host. We brought a generator and didn’t even use it much. Using a down comforter kept us very comfortable. It was very quiet and private. This is a great balance of real camping and glamping. The cold shower was definitely refreshing to say the least. They are planning solar electric to this site. Next time I will bring my camping bag shower and just fill with hot water and hang in the shower. 3 camping chairs and a picnic table, fire pit with grill and a coal burning grill is supplied. We will definitely return. Tent 3 is just as nice if you don’t want to walk up a hill to your tent. However the view was well worth it. Definitely check out the other sites and the covered wagons they were very impressive.

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
This place was awesome! A taste of off-grid living truly. So much more than typical tent camping. They really have thought of everything! When we were there, they had 3 cots and a queen bed in the tent as well as some camping chairs. There was a sink, shower, toilets, drinking water, picnic type table, grill, lights, fire pit and fire cooking grates and hook.... The only thing is the "gentle hill" is not a gentle hill but a short hike up a mountain! We would come back but park closer.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tent 3. We were surprised when we arrived and there was electricity! We could charge our phones/speakers. The trees blocked us from the extreme heat. There was a Queen size bed already in there and Adil provided 4 more cots for our use. We will absolutely be back !
