Mark's campsite is a tranquil escape nestled by a creek, offering a peaceful atmosphere perfect for those seeking a genuine in-the-woods experience. Guests rave about the host's kindness and responsiveness, adding an extra layer of warmth to the stay. While the site is ideal for tent camping with its secluded spots and amenities like a fire pit, those with larger vehicles might find it challenging to navigate. The proximity to local attractions like Paris Mountain and the charming towns of Greenville and Travelers Rest further enhances the appeal, making it a favorite for repeat visitors.

Incredible stay overall- being people who go camping quite often i definitely would recommend this place to anyone who enjoys a genuine in-the-woods trip. We had 2x two-person tents set up no problem with the space and the fire pit was amazing. being so close to paris mountain and local farms was a huge incentive and we had a blast seeing everything. that being said we would’ve definitely prepped differently had we known the layout of the site. It’s about a 200 yard hike downhill from the parking area to the actual site (wheelbarrow provided) having to cross the creek with all of our gear plus climbing over a huge fallen tree to even get to the site was not mentioned until we arrived. The compost toilet tent did not have any sawdust nor was waterproof so the time we were there it got soaked though. plus the tent they had as the bathroom shelter did not have a working zipper to keep out bugs or weather. overall it was a wonderful time and mark was super nice! just if we had known the details we would’ve prepped better.

Aleah and Mark were friendly, kind, and made our hipcamp experience even better. Aleah gave us great recommendations for both Greenville and Travelers Rest. The site was secluded and clean. It had a fire place, and was a 2-3min walk from where our car was parked. The canopy of trees around our visit was beautiful, the creek was nice- we found tiny fish and frogs. We initially booked 1 night and decided to stay another.

This camp site was fantastic! It’s a little bit of a hike back into the woods, but not terribly far. They provided a wheelbarrow for us to cart our stuff back and we had three large tents and a galley kitchen all set up in no time. The creek is so peaceful. The fire pit is great. Even though it’s accessed through a neighborhood, we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere. Incredibly peaceful. 10 out of 10 would camp again!

Cozy Cabin on Wheels
The cozy cabin on wheels was the perfect spot for a Thanksgiving weekend camping trip with my son and dog. The cabinet itself was adorable and you could tell a lot of thought was put into the amenities. Even though it froze while we were there, we were snug as a bug in our little cabin. I loved that my dog could be off leash and play with the host’s dog and cat as well. Although the house was not far, we felt we had all the privacy we needed. Our host was just a message away from answering any questions we may have had and gave lots of local recommendations. We will definitely be back!

The site is beautiful and it’s secluded and surrounded by trees. I was there during hurricane Helene so I didn’t actually stay in my camper, but no trees fell over and everything was fine. Mark was very accommodating and looked after my camper while I wasn’t there. I will stay there again.

This was our first hipcamp and I have nothing but good things to say. The location was very conveniently located in TR, situated nicely between the mountains and the city (Greenville and TR). It is very easy to find and also very quiet, which is nice. The trails behind the pad were great for our dogs and the view of the mountains was beautiful. Mark was wonderful, responsive and helpful throughout our stay!

What a delightful property! I had a space right next to a deck that I was able to use. There are trails that you can explore, and Mark is an awesome host. It's at the very end of a residential area, and is close (within a few miles) of all Traveler's Rest has to offer. Great location, great property, great host - you can't go wrong!
