Welcome to Oakshire, where wild berries and poplars line the creek, and our garden bursts with fresh veggies. Watch piglets forage in their wooded paddocks while our lovable farm dogs eagerly await belly rubs. Situated on a 10-acre regenerative farm in the foothills of Mt. Pleasant, Oakshire offers a serene escape. Our campsite, screened by poplar saplings, accommodates 1 tent, a full-size picnic table, fire ring, and space for your hammock. A 5-minute walk from the parking area leads you to the site, while a 2-minute stroll takes you down to the creek. Just 5 minutes away, discover an award-winning vineyard with stunning views at Ankida Ridge. Drive 15 minutes to Long Mountain Wayside (Appalachian Trail) and the turnoff towards Mt. Pleasant Scenic Area. Whether you hike, bike, ride horses, fish, or swim, there's plenty to explore! Meet Michael and Gwendolyn, your hosts at Oakshire Farm. We raise free-range chickens, pastured pork, and honeybees, alongside veggie gardens and orchards. Join us for a slice of farm life and endless adventures.Little Poplar Campsite is surrounded by poplar saplings and wild berry bushes.

This site is absolutely adorable. You have complete privacy at the site and the property is so peaceful. Gwen is a wonderful host and has such a sweet personality. The bath house is clean and just a short walk from your campsite. I would highly recommend this site to anyone staying in the area. Provided firewood, plus kindling, also made starting a fire effortless.

Oakshire Farm was a wonderful getaway for me and my girlfriend. Very close to the Appalachian Trail as well as a few other spectacular sites and of course the Blue Ridge Parkway. The nearby winery wasn't so bad either 😁. Gwendolyn was super welcoming and Debbie made absolutely sure we had everything (and more!) that we needed. The campsite itself is tucked away and very private and surrounded by a beautiful forest, we had a lot of hikes planned but often opted to just stick around the campsite and bask in the quiet wilderness. Highly recommend staying at Oakshire and we will 100% be back.

We really enjoyed camping at the farm! The campsite was perfect for us. The hosts even brought us out to meet the farm pigs and chickens!
