In The Pines (Individual Sites)
Camping with the Boys
The tent camp "In the Pines" is a flat level clearing arranged for 3 individual sites. The area was mowed and clean. The facilities, which include a nearby bath house, rest room and kitchen with potable water were not only clean, but pristine by any tent campers dream. Foot traffic from the other accommodations on the property was very low. Our group enjoyed just hanging out. Trail hiking at Pilot Mountain and a foray north on the Blue Ridge Parkway are within a 20-30 minute drive. The area is wonderful for a getaway. Terrie and Thomas are great host's and accommodating. We plan to return again..

Wonderful Place!!
Perfect for a fall trip to see the blue ridge and the trees! Beautiful drive up. Convenient to both NC and VA.
Host was very accommodating and kind!
Facilities were neat and clean. They had a camper’s kitchen and bathroom which was very convenient.
My husband and I will definitely be coming back here.

This campsite is beautiful! Exploring the grounds and old cabins of what used to be a boy’s camp was fun. While we loved the group campsite we stayed in, we hope to return soon and stay in the A-frame! Terrie was such a gracious host! We felt so welcome and she even helped us out with tents to stay in since unfortunately we left our poles at home!! Couldn’t be more happy with our experience!

Tiny cottage dream
Nestled amongst the fall trees, was this tiny cottage. Much like a fairy tail dream, the cottage was surrounded by pure and beautiful nature. The bed was warm and cozy and having a kitchen to cook my meals was a true perk. The house was fully stocked with everything I needed for the weekend. It was a lovely stay.

Peace among the pines!
Camping amongst the giant pine trees was great. The layout of the property is really cool, and it has great trails to explore. We barely scratched the surface and the host Terrie Anne was so friendly and gracious. We will definitely be back!

In the pines was wonderful and Terrie & Thomas were fantastic hosts. The facilities (bathroom, showers, kitchen) are so nice and really make camping a lot easier with a family. The campus is beautiful and we enjoyed our long weekend!

Well-kept camp grd w/friendly host!
My husband had a wonderful time camping at Terrie and Thomas' place. Terrie did a great job communicating with me prior to our trip and during our visit. The directions they gave on Hipcamp were spot on. Fortunately, we did have service all the way to their place as well as at our campsite. Their properly was beautiful and well-kept. We did not use the community fire pit, but it looked very nice. The bathhouses were perfectly clean and couldn't have asked for better. We would come back!!

Relaxed camping, plenty of comforts
Terrie Ann and Thomas are excellent hosts. Communication was perfect, from directions to check-out. Certainly some of the bests hosts are family have had on Hipcamp, VRBO, or Airbnb.
The property is extremely well maintained. Terrie Ann and Thomas are breathing new life into the forty acres, and it’s quite an impressive project.
We had a rain half of our stay, and so the well-stocked kitchen and impressively clean bathhouse made camping with 4 small kids easier. There is a great trail on the property, and our kids loved the creek.
Tent area is level with a great ring of trees around it; and if you have people in your party who don’t like using a camp toilet, there is a private bath room 50 feet away. We didn’t have to bring firewood in, we paid for two bundles before we arrived, and Thomas had the wood stocked in a sheltered area near the tents before we got there, and he left a wheel barrow behind for extra ease.
Relaxed camping at its finest, have been recommending it to people all weekend.

Camping with multiple aged kids
Loved our 4 day 3 night stay. Music on the mountain was fun. They have a stage and the space is kid and pet friendly. Host are very welcoming and they keep the space clean. Kids had a blast they offer a playground so that’s a bonus. Can’t wait for our next camping trip.

Simplicity at its Best
What a gem in the Mountains, I decided that I would surprise my wife with a stop out of the ordinary for us as we were heading to the beaches of NC to meet up with our children & grandchildren and we took this unbeaten path to the Artist Studio...Simplicity at its best, comfortable & clean, it was everything they said and more...it took us back to our youth, with a simple phonograph and 6 albums, a good book and listening to Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, Arlo Guthrie and more...sitting on the patio, with a nice fire , we watched the Super Moon come up and a beautiful Sunrise in the morning !
Thank you for the wonderful experience and hospitality !

This spot was just so exceptional - truly an under appreciated gem. Terrie was an amazing host - gave us a quick tour of the site and checked to make sure we had everything we needed. The camp Itself is a great blend of private and group spaces, and can accommodate folks who want to stay in a cabin or tent camp.
I timed the visit to coincide with an artist performance - what a magical experience! I highly recommend this site, especially if you can make it in time for a performance. I’ll definitely be back!

Mountain Serenity
This is our 2nd visit to Wellspring Mountain, the last time we tent camped, this time we stayed in the A Frame, Mountain Serenity. We found the A Frame to be clean, very well set up, and comfortable. We enjoyed the live music series from the vantage point of a naturally sloped lawn on a crisp summer evening. Pleasant all of the way around.
If you would like a peaceful place to unwind I highly recommend a visit.

What a difference a year makes! We stayed In the Pines a year ago and were thrilled to have the opportunity to stay again this year. Thomas greeted us happily and was more than accommodating with drive up access to our site to unload. The sites remain well maintained with easy access to the kitchen and bathroom.
Thomas and Terri have spent the year clearing property for group fire pit, gathering and entertainment
as well as updating, upgrading and remodeling current structures. We had the opportunity to hike one of thier newly cleared hiking paths and what a treat for the senses! Absolutely beautiful!
Thomas and Terri took the time to chat with us and tell us all about the past year and thier plans for the upcoming year.
If you have the opportunity to camp In the Pines take advantage of it and enjoy the ambience, hospitality and the beauty. If you want to get unplugged this is the place to do it.
Thanks for another great experience!

Love it!
The A-frame is just perfect. Cozy and comfortable with a great non-toxic mattress. Lots of attention to details that I appreciate. And you couldn’t ask for more in the setting. It’s beautiful and inspiring. Can’t wait to go back!

This was the perfect place to camp! The tent area is peaceful, with lots of space for each camper, and everyone has access to the community kitchen, bathhouse, fire pit and trails. I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in one of Thomas’s exceptional herbal medicine classes while I was there. I highly recommend all of it!

Terri Ann and Thomas were wonderful, accommodating hosts. Nice flat setup for our rooftop tent and backpacking tent. Quiet setting. The kitchen and bathhouse were clean and well-stocked with the basics. Having the dining hall during heavy storms was essential. Everyone, especially our toddlers, loved wandering the grounds searching for ripe peaches, blackberries, and wineberries. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved camping at Wellsprings Mountain with Terrie and Thomas. They were outstanding hosts! The camp kitchen, dining hall, and bathroom were great considering it rained both nights we stayed. We also enjoyed picking the wild berries along the property. This site is great for couples, families, and a four legged friend! We hope to return again.

Tiny House at Artist Studio
Quietly tucked away on hundreds of acres of conservatory land in Lowgap NC, on the campus of the Eclectic School of Herbal Medicine, Wellspring Mountain is a unique property ripe for exploration and
enrichment.
During our stay at Wellspring Mountain, my husband and I lodged in the beautiful, spacious artist studio. The studio space was very clean, generously stocked with kitchen essentials, and extraordinarily
comfortable. The bed, specifically, afforded us one of the most restful nights of sleep we’d had in weeks.
Walking the grounds of Wellspring Mountain was a true pleasure. If nature is your love language, you will really appreciate your time here. There are beautiful gardens, wildflowers, hiking trails and streams.
Wildlife can be spotted with every turn of the head. With acres to explore, there is no shortage of opportunity to discover something new.
A review of this Hipcamp wouldn’t be complete without mentioning our wonderful hosts. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience with Terrie Ann and Thomas. They are both exceptionally kind, engaging people, and spending time with them and the other guests at this Hipcamp was easily the highlight of our visit. The sense of community at Wellspring Mountain was unexpected. My husband and I left with great memories and new friends.
Thank you for sharing your Hipcamp with us, Thomas and Terrie Ann. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with you two at Wellspring Mountain and deeply appreciate your genuine
hospitality

Amazing hosts
This was our first hipcamp experience and we unfortunately ended up leaving early because my son started feeling sick. The camping options were well maintained and having the bathrooms with showers was a real plus. Terrie was an absolute pleasure to work with and we are looking forward to returning in the future to have the full experience.

Best place to camp in NC
One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Rich in the beauty of nature, and breath taking mountain views. Thomas and Terrie have put so much time and love into their property, and you can really tell. They are also amazing hosts and some of the sweetest people you will meet. Truly a great place to stay for whatever adventure you have planned. Cant wait to visit again.

Relaxing property to explore
Terrie and Thomas have worked hard and created an excellent space to hang out with friends or just get away from everything. There are tons of options from simple field camping all the way to decked out cabins and A frames. It is great to see a camp brought back to life and shared with everyone as they travel through.

Fun times in the pines!
Thank you so much Terrie and Thomas!!!! Our experience was great! Terrie was SUPER communicative and responded to my questions in minutes! She kindly greeted us when we arrived and showed us where things were.
The land is beautiful and the campsites are great. There are 4 campsites and they are all within 100 feet of each other. We were the only ones so we didn’t have to share the land but that is definitely something to think about if you are looking for more privacy! The bathroom (toilet not shower- shower is a two min walk up the hill) is a 45 second walk from the campsite and it was super clean! The kitchen, also super close to the campsites, was stellar and clean as well! They provided firewood ($5 a bundle) which was convenient!
Again, thank you so much! I would recommend you stay here!
