William Cornelius Vineyard is a 50-acre private working vineyard and farm that includes 6 acres of Vineyard, 15 acres of corn/soybean fields, and 15 acres of forest. Two vintage tobacco barns add rustic charm to the site. A lovely stream flows down cascading rock shelves along one side of the property, and a small pond is located on the other side. You will have the farm to yourself. There is only one RV site on the property and no other residents, except for the deer and occasional turkey, racoon, squirrels, and birds. From your RV and site you will have an unobstructed view over the vineyard of the sunset and western range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Vineyard includes Viognier, Merlot, and Chambourcin grapes. Stony Knoll Winery nearby manages the vineyard and uses the grapes in production of their award-winning varietals. The Viognier won the 2023 Best of Show and Double Gold for the NC Fine Wines Show. Stony Knoll’s Rose, made from our Chambourcin, won the 2022 NC Best Rose. There are three wineries within a couple of miles, and 20 more wineries within a 30-minute drive. There are 3 must-see / hike state parks within a 40 minute drive: Pilot Mountain, Hanging Rock, and Stone Mountain. The charming town of Mt. Airy (Mayberry RFD from the Andy Griffith Show) and Elkin are within a 20 minute drive. The Yadkin River is only a few miles to the south at the quaint village of Rockford, and is popular for kayaking/tubing, fishing, and swimming. There is a tubing/kayak outfitter located there, along with an old general store with old-time candies, sodas, and a simple grill.William Cornelius Vineyard is a 50-acre private working vineyard and farm that includes 6 acres of Vineyard, 15 acres of corn/soybean fields, and 15 acres of forest.

Outstanding vineyard with acreage with mountain view and privacy, we loved every second we were there!!! Staying at a one of a kind vineyard with wineries close by, William Cornelius is as good as it gets for us and our two dogs. Thank you again, we plan to be back soon.

Such a beautiful property with magical sunsets. Well kept perfect location in the middle of Yadkin Wine country. Lots of deer and variety of birds. Camping at an active vineyard was a dream come true-grapes are babies and can’t wait to return in the fall before harvest. Big fire pit and picnic tables were a nice addition. Level site with easy water and electric set up. Was absolutely glorious weekend.

Beautiful shaded campsite on a picturesque vineyard. Plenty of space to roam. Old barn on site adds to the rustic charm. The campsite is within sight of a couple houses, but still felt private and secluded. Would definitely camp there again.

We loved pitching a tent on Williams land! The site was as described & well maintained. We were treated to an incredible sunset on our first night. There was so much room for our dog to run around and explore. There is also water access to the Fisher River, which was clean due to the consistent flow of the river. There is also a great waterfall and “beach” area about 20 mins from the site - Carter Falls. Highly recommended. We did not do much hiking due to a kid tagging along but there are numerous trails near by. With that said, the site was very kid friendly. Running water & electric are huge bonuses. We brought string (recommend 15 ft), a blanket and clips to project a movie- tied the string to the breaker box post and the light post. It was cool!! We pitched near the RV platform and it was a little noisy with cars passing by (maybe 1-3 every few minutes) but after 10PM the traffic died down drastically and was peaceful. I would recommend pitching a bit further down the hill. If you are in an RV, I doubt you could hear the cars. Even with the sporadic noises, the site felt fairly secluded & safe.

The sunset was incredible! We had a bit of an overcast weekend, but the sun really showed off the first night. There was so much room for our dog to run around! We camped and the road is a tad close but the noise was fairly minimal, especially as it got later in the night. The little creek that runs through the property was fun to find. A ton of great little hikes and waterfalls around the area. Just 5 minutes down the road there is public access to Fisher River - pretty clean and flowing river. Was cool! You’ll have a good time!

Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Long-range views, property to yourself. Great site. The host's instructions were spot on. Several wineries are very close to the site, both low-key and high-end ones. Nice private spot. We suggest placing the fire pit on the gravel, even if it's been wet, as the grass thatch is thick, as we learned, lol.

This site is on a working vinery which made it beautiful but not exactly private. Farm trucks drove right thru our campsite 6 times over 2 days. The Mountain View’s and sunset were amazing. Dogs ran free. Never saw host. Overall it was very nice.

We loved RV camping on this beautiful piece of land. The serenity of the location and the view of the vineyards coupled with amazing sunsets directly outside our front door made for a great experience. If you’re looking for a location near the wonderful Stony Knoll Vineyard and a stones throw from historic Rockford this is the place!
