Great location only 15 min off I-95. Far enough away from the city and roads to see the stars at night, close enough for easy access to all modern conveniences. Accessible by a paved road. A path is cut right through the property for ease to find your ideal camping location. You can park your vehicle off the paved road or on the property itself. There is a creek a few hundred yards into the property that's not crossable by vehicle. A vehicle can pull onto the property via the cutout road but I wouldn’t pull an RV/vehicle with a trailer onto it.

Rocky Mount, NC · 1 site · Tent, RV
Peaceful RV & Tent Site on Farm‑Land in Central North Carolina — “Greenfield” Welcome to Greenfield — a quiet, 6‑acre private retreat nestled near Stoney Creek, just outside Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Our spot is only about an hour from Goldsboro, Greenville, or Raleigh, making it a convenient escape while still offering real country charm. Whether you bring an RV, a camper, or a tent, you’ll enjoy full hookups (electric, water, and sewer) and a private driveway for easy access. There’s room for one camper, and space to stretch out comfortably while soaking in the farm‑land setting. Campfires are allowed, and you’re welcome to bring your pet — the land is pet‑friendly and offers plenty of open space. You’ll be surrounded by a mix of woods, a pond, and a creek running through the property, giving you a true “escape‑to-nature” vibe. It’s a great spot for a couple, a small group, or a solo traveler seeking peace, privacy, and a relaxed pace. At night, enjoy peaceful surroundings — away from city noise but still close enough to city conveniences if you need supplies or want a change of scene. This spot is ideal for people wanting simple comfort, open skies, and a serene countryside experience. Book your stay at Greenfield and enjoy a quiet retreat in the heart of North Carolina — perfect for reconnecting with nature, unwinding by a fire, and waking up to the gentle rhythm of pond, creek, and countryside.

We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.

Great location only 15 min off I-95. Far enough away from the city and roads to see the stars at night, close enough for easy access to all modern conveniences. Accessible by a paved road. A path is cut right through the property for ease to find your ideal camping location. You can park your vehicle off the paved road or on the property itself. There is a creek a few hundred yards into the property that's not crossable by vehicle. A vehicle can pull onto the property via the cutout road but I wouldn’t pull an RV/vehicle with a trailer onto it.
