1 night at Ancient Spring Farm

Everything was perfect. We loved our little glam open air bedroom. The time was purely magical. We also upgraded to have breakfast. The fresh eggs and delicious bacon were top drawer!!

1 night at Ancient Spring Farm

We had such a lovely and memorable stay at Ancient Spring Farm! We really enjoyed the forage tour, learning about edible and non-edible plants was fascinating! And the animal tour with all the bay goats was a great bonus! Rebecca is such a lovely human, warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable! We had breakfast under the pecan trees with fresh eggs and vegetables from her farm, and even brought some eggs home with us! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, immersive farm experience. We felt truly welcomed and connected to the land.

Weekend Trip to Brookhaven Mill Farm

Cheryl is amazing!! This is the perfect place to camp, it's quiet and secluded. The farm stand is open on the weekend I got a bunch of goodies! We got to pet the sheep and donkeys and they were so friendly. I would definitely come back here!!

We lived camping here! Rebecca was so friendly and helpful and the property was beautiful. She was even kind enough to rescue us when we forgot a lighter! Would absolutely recommend.

1 night at Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We love the Tent that we stayed in. We are lucky that it was only us who were staying in the whole place that day. The place is very spacious and beautifully decorated. We had our dinner in their bbq station and we enjoyed it! A lot of activities around to enjoy. We will definitely be back next time and will bring more friends to stay!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

This was a great experience. I needed to get away and be one with nature and this was perfect. The accommodations were wonderful and everything was right where I needed to be with the privacy I needed. I was able to reset myself and find the calm that only exists in a natural beautiful setting. I was so relaxed and able to truly find my joy and peace. The cabin being screened in helped keep out the critters and let the nature vibes in. I would highly recommend this place to reconnect with Nature and find your inner peace.

Weekend Trip to Container Experience

The Yellow Submarine as great. I had a very relaxing time and the property was beautiful. The unit had everything needed for the weekend and never had to leave. Thank you Kathy. Missy and Allan were great as well.

Weekend Trip to River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

River Farm on the Neuse provides a unique opportunity to camp in the meadows of a private farm along the Neuse River Trail. It was the perfect site for complete privacy, easy access to the Trail and being in a less commercial campground than what you normally encounter. Emma and family were the perfect hosts and I am sure we will return the next time that we bike the Neuse River Trail.

14 nights at River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

I loved camping at River Fam Camp, it was amazing 2 weeks. The host, Emma, and her son James were absolutely lovely! I truly hated having to leave. Gorgeous property and land area. I will definitely be back. James thank you so much for treating me like family, it was a pleasure meeting you and having conversations with you. Look forward to talking with you both soon! Thank you for going above and beyond making me feel welcomed! Much love to you both, Nichole T. & her fab Aussie 5

Weekend Trip to Turtleback Cove

The area was freshly mowed, making moving around easy. Beautiful lake views with some permanent seating. Loved the fairy lights on the trees! Only word of caution is there is no swimming allowed in the lake! So tempting!! It was very quiet at night but convenient to the road and town if you want it!

A beautiful tent under the forest canopy & right next to the river.

1 night at Tar River Life

The canvas tent was soooo lovely to come to after a long trip and it was amazing to wake up next to the river to the sound of birds singing. It was easy getting in & out. There were lovely hammock seats in the shade you could stretch out in. Billy & Nikki were easy to get ahold of, too. Wish we coulda stayed longer!

3 nights at River Farm on the Neuse River Trail

Beautiful piece of land with multiple private areas for camping. Convenient access to potable water and a porta-john. The property backs up to the Neuse River Greenway Trail, so it is convenient to ride bikes straight from the site, with a single track mountain bike trail system (Williamson Preserve) about a mile away.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

So much love, creativity, and care has gone into building this very special place to stay, rest and play. I stopped for just one night on my way from Fl to upstate NY, and had a magical and restorative night's sleep in one of the unique and lovely screen houses. Lightning bugs all around, illuminating the forest, and I was sung to sleep by crickets and tree frogs. A battery-powered ceiling fan kept the air moving and everything was nice and clean and fresh and inviting. Lots of thoughtful and clever touches, impressive construction and spacious, considerate setup. the bathroom, showers, and parking are a bit of a walk so each dwelling comes with a golf cart that you can use the whole time you're there. They've just opened in May so everything is brand new. I enjoyed and appreciated it immensely, and will come back any chance I get. I can only imagine what will go into maintaining a place like this, and I hope that they can keep it going and that future guests will get to enjoy it and also have respect for what a special place it is. I guess Jim & Becky have built it with their own family gatherings in mind, and there is definitely that sense of embracing, welcoming hospitality and generosity about it. It's a very beautiful piece of property and it looks like they might be equipped for events such as weddings, which would make sense there. Thanks to Jim & Becky for sharing this special place!

1 night at Rural Chapel Hill Forestry Stay

This property was absolutely beautiful, very well maintained, and so peaceful. The owner was so kind and welcoming. No mosquitoes or ticks in sight. Very convenient drive to/from the carrboro area. Hope to stay here again soon!

We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place.

Camping in Eno River State Park 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.

Know before you go

Backcountry campers should be prepared to hike to their sites carrying all of their supplies and to pack out all of their garbage.

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!
