Beautiful land. Lots of privacy. Highly recommend.

This is the campsite by the Pond/Stage. When driving in, you'll turn right down towards the pond. Pull off to the left in front of the stage before crossing the dam. Campsite is in front and to the left of the stage.

Weekend Trip to Farm Stay at Saxapahaw Country Club

The property is wonderful - beautiful land, lovely campsite setups, great hosts. We came back for a second time and it just kept getting better. The location is wonderful. We loved the friendly cats, the wonderful barn, and the very fun swing. They also have very nice picnic tables and chairs. The little things really added to the experience. Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We were four families who spent a weekend at Sugar Neck, and honestly, it was such a perfect escape. Having the entire place to ourselves made it feel extra special — it’s an amazing setup for a group getaway. The tents are beautiful, super comfortable, and the bathrooms are neat, private, and way nicer than you’d expect for glamping. We couldn’t have asked for more. In fact, we loved it so much we’ve already booked another weekend for next week! The host was excellent at communicating and made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Sugar Neck for anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, group-friendly glamping spot.

Weekend Trip to The Homestead At Little Creek

As a first time solo glamper, this exceeded my expectations. I was greeted by the Megan, her husband, and their dog Myra. Traveling alone can be scary, but Myra was near me all night. She also walked me to the bathroom each time I went. The tent had a heater, as well as a fireplace in the glamping area that I used. In the morning, I got to meet all of the wonderful animals on the farm. With this location being only 30 minutes from Dix park, it’s the perfect place to crash after seeing Thomas Dambo’s trolls! Great for a group camping trip, but I loved doing it solo.

First time taking the camper out and I’m so glad we chose this place! Brought our 2 pups with us and they had a blast. Our fur babies were pooped from running around and getting all the snuffs in! I think what made this so enjoyable was the sense of security and Bekah’s thorough communication. Will definitely be visiting again!

5 nights at Honah Lee Farms

Camper's Choice #1 comes with a secondary site that is more secluded than the primary. There is a small hike so pack lightly because the trail isn't exactly smooth. Once at the site though it is completely private, except for a few cows across the creek that are pretty nosey. We said multiple times during our stay that it is the best site on the property so check it out. The site doesn't have a picnic table like the others and the outhouse is a 5 minute hike away, but it's manageable. There is a table and fire pit provided. Also Mike is very helpful and always available if we needed anything. 10/10

Weekend Trip to Brookhaven Mill Farm

Beautiful farm to visit with sweet animals to meet! Host was so helpful and informative. We loved shopping in the farm store. Very convenient location not far from the highway. We enjoyed our time there and were the only campers. My daughter and I felt very safe as there was plenty of light around the area for campers at night. Please note you should copy the address and put in whatever map app you use instead of clicking on the map link within Hipcamp because that takes you to the wrong location. The only downside was noise from someone target practicing on a Saturday night a distance away. I don’t think anyone staying in a RV would hear it. It didn’t go on too late but was kinda annoying to us because we were ready to go to sleep pretty early. I would recommend this campsite and paying to feed the animals. Very affordable campsite!

You're welcome to fish and walk around the property. Enjoy a peaceful evening by the firepit and the beautiful starry nights.

(Notice - Our driveway was damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene. We have been working to make repairs. For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs longer than 12 ft. due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. Also, we are totally off-grid, which means we do not have RV hook-ups or empty stations. Thank you for your understanding. - Brian) Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm.

A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.

The best camping in Eno River State Park, NC guide

Overview

About

A quick 10 miles from Durham, Eno River State Park is a riparian refuge featuring 14 miles of the winding Eno River and 31 miles of hiking trails. The fast-running and shallow Eno River is ideal for fly fishing, wading, and paddling. After a good rain, canoers and kayakers may encounter class I, II, and III rapids. Although there are no frontcountry (drive-up) campgrounds at Eno River State Park, the park has two backcountry campgrounds that require 1- to 1.2-mile hikes in. With fire pits, benches, tent pads, and lantern hooks, the Eno River campsites offer cozy and immersive forest camping experiences. If you’re looking for a frontcountry camping alternative nearby, check out the Falls Lake State Recreation Area.

Notable campgrounds

Best for bridge lovers: The approach to the Fanny’s Ford Campground crosses a scenic suspension footbridge.
Best for peace in the backcountry: The Piper Creek Campground is in the park’s lesser-visited Cole Mill section.

Tips for snagging a campsite

All Eno River State Park campsites are available for booking six months in advance. You can reserve sites online or by calling (877) 722-6762.
With just five sites at each campground, booking ahead is essential—especially for weekends and summers.

When to go

Eno River State Park’s campgrounds are open year round. Spring visitors may encounter wildflowers and stronger currents on the Eno River. Come autumn, the park’s deciduous trees put on a lovely fall foliage transformation. Summer highs are in the upper 80s, while winter visitors should come prepared for freezing temperatures and the possibility of snow or ice.

Eno River Campground

The Eno River State Park has several campgrounds, and probably my favorite spots for camping in the Triangle area. They're quiet, you hike in, and they're in some very nice woods and by a beautiful river!
