Historic Hyco Plantation
12. Historic Hyco Plantation
32mi from Kerr Lake State Recreation Area · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to this historic place! We are glad you chose to stay on our property. Take a walk back in time down the path and see the old corn crib and hog pen where hogs once fed our family and may others. Just past that on the right is the foundation of the old cabin that once was home to the farm workers who tended to this land.
Just past that you will find a more modern block barn that was used to store tobacco as it began its journey to the market. A little further down stands an old tobacco barn where the fresh picked green tobacco was hung high by our great grandfather and his 4 kids, while a small fire burned below to cure the tobacco.
Continue down the main path until you come to a fork, turn right and head down to the low grounds where you will find a cool water rock bottom creek to wet your feet and cool off.... If you travel up or down the creek you might just find a nice deep swimming hole to take a dip in! Follow the path up the hill and into the tall stand of hardwood trees and pines where if you look closely you might see some rock formations of years gone by! Across the road from the front gate and house you can walk down the path that winds around the plantation pines until it opens to an old farm field that in days gone by were planted with lush tall green stalks of tobacco, corn, beans, and hay for cattle. Walk through the field and into the woods. Keep a sharp eye out for Indian artifacts as this was their home once too along the river which you will find if you walk through the hardwood trees just past the field. Ahh the Hyco River, This is our property boundary but you can follow the river all the way to the bridge, or fish and swim anywhere you can find a safe place to do so at your own risk. You may here coyotes in the distance at night, or early in the morning you may be awaken by turkeys calling out from their roost!
Please be respectful of others that may be in the property when you are, it's 400 acres so pleanty of room to spread out and make memories! Please have camp fires contained in a fire pit and extinguished completely with water before leaving. That means no smoke or steam and you can touch the coals and not get burned! We ask that you enjoy our property as we do but keep it clean and remove all trash when you leave.

Calling all urban campers visiting Durham! There are many local natural attractions (Eno River State Park, Falls Lake, Jordan Lake etc.) for hiking and boating. Additionally we are within biking distance of the heart of downtown Durham! We have a large backyard with room for tent, as well as a super cozy popup camper available for you to rent out. This property certainly has an urban feeling, but we have a fire pit, hammock, and compost toilet

This was a wonderful stop for us. Both the host were incredibly nice. The location was beautiful!!!
We saw lots of fireflies and the view of the stars was amazing.
The location is one to keep an eye out on as they plan on adding more to it.
The only downside was there were ticks, just make sure you check for them and you are good.
If given the opportunity again we 100% would come back.

We were so thankful that we found a spot at Red Farm. We had been on the road for 8 hours and really needed to land for the night. Monte was super nice and told us if we ended up coming back his way and the spots were taken, he would find a spot for us. Easy to find and had great services attached for a good price.

We stayed here due to its location within a few miles of our family/friends. Monte is a very friendly host and very welcoming. My husband was working remote through the day and we went to our friends’ home in the evenings. I spent daytime hours exploring the area recreation areas and parks, of which there are many. There is a lot of contracting type activity that goes on around the site during the day but it quiets down at night. We were also there Sunday-Sat and weren’t there over a weekend. If you are looking for seclusion and camping in the woods, this site would not be for you. If you are looking for a jumping off point for exploring the area, work, or visiting family/friends, this site works fine.

Woke up to a rooster and peaceful sunrise. All amenities were available as mentioned, such as RV hookups (electric, water, sewer). As a solo traveler, great option for me. Ideal stop at the Virginia - North Carolina border. Will keep as a future accommodation.

Monte and Tracy (and Woody of course) are wonderful hosts and you don’t leave there without establishing a long term friendship! 50amp, water and sewer hookups were all new and worked perfectly. They held an evening fire down at the wood pile where all the guests are welcome and encouraged to come, have a beer, relax and tell stories! Great nature walks to see beaver dams or other critters of the beautiful surrounding woodlands. Our dog Cali loved the nature walks! We will definitely come back to visit our new friends again!

Sites are clean, and have full hook-ups, including 50Amp service. A little noise from the road right behind the sites, but it is not a major road, and is very quiet at night.

What we liked: The site was convenient to the lake, the store, and to several boat ramps. Was really fantastic to be able to use the neighborhood dock/boat slips and pool (thank you!). Mary was super responsive and accommodating. Loved having a fire pit and sewer hook-up. Location was quiet, and we were actually able to line up both RVs in a train to access the sewer connection and still be on the leveled gravel area of the site, which was a plus.
What could be better: no potable water. I assumed using a filter would help, but even with in-line filter, water was discolored coming into camper.
Suggestions: it was a bit difficult to find the entry at night, so a light there and another back near the hookups would be super helpful. The area around the gravel site was very muddy, and I had read on a former review there was plenty of room so believed I could turn around and ended up getting hung up in the mud. Was also conscious of not wanting to damage a septic field. Maybe providing a site map for check-in to help folks understand best way to back in and/or turnaround would help?
