Learn more about this land:
In this 40 acre track there are 2 hay fields, pasture, and forrest. From any area you camp🏕 the pond🏞, with fish, is in walking distance, so is a beautiful clear stream.
****Did I mention that this stream empties into Lake Tillary, yep, that is right. We are within walking distance to Lake Tillary and less than 5 mins to the boat landing. You may bring your boat and park it here while you camp.
SPECIAL NOTE: There are animals here that you may pet once you have been properly introduced. You may bring your pets as long as they are vaccinated and behaved. If they fight with other animals or chase chickens or ducks you may want to test this upon your arrival. Unfortunately, you must keep them on leash at all times. Our County does have a leash law, and should property🌱🌹🌻🚜🚗📬🗑or animals🦌🐂🐏🐐🐰🦃🦆 be damaged or harmed you will be held responsible. For example, if your dog kills a chicken, you buy the chicken🐓🐔🐥. If they harm a horse🐎 or donkey🐴, you are responsible for ALL vet fees. Also, be aware we have coyotes, osprey, hawks, as any rural area does. Small animals must be suprevised. We are not responsible for acts of nature.
The barn is beautiful and you are welcome to take photos, however, you are NOT permitted in the barn without supervision. Absolutley NO smoking or fire near the barn. It is over 100 years old and built by my great grand family and is irreplaceable.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
As I am just beginning the camp on site experience I offer several options and additional services.
#1. Some find out after arriving that I teach NC Concealed Carry Handgun Classes. If you wish to participate in a class, it is preferred that you register before the day of the class. I will post classes on this site so that campers will know there will be shooting in the late afternoon. Some chose to camp on other weekends, some choose to go out to eat during those times, and some don't mind either way.
#2. I am also much in favor of work for camp site. Some have asked to do clean up or other small jobs for the priviledge to camp. So far this has worked out well, with one exception. Please do not accept an offer to take on a task that you do not know how to do. Example, pulling weeds or trimming if you do not know what a weed verses flower looks like. LOL
#3. There is plenty of firewood, see photos, here laying around and some trees down that will make great firewood (bring your own cutting tools.) We also sell firewood by the bundle.
#4. Being a camper here gives you the privilege of fresh veggies and fruits that are in season, as well as fresh free range eggs.
MAJOR POINT:
You must remember this is a working farm and our duties and responsibilities for the farm come first.
You must abide by the boundaries. *see map* The creek is the back boundary and should never be crossed onto my neighbors. I will not tolerate any disrespect to my neighbors, what so ever.
No! the roosters don't have an off button, neither does the jacka... donkey! When it is hay cutting time, we will cut hay. If you want to hike the property, feel free, know the boundaries and bring a machete to cut your way by the creek/stream in some areas. We have thistle trees and briars, you are welcome to cut all you wish as you go. There are spiders, bugs, and snakes etc. Black snakes, king snakes, runners, and whip snakes belong here and we ask that you do not kill them. Copperheads are here as qell and if you see one, come get me and I will dispatch it for you.

Welcome to Cannon Acres
Located just minutes off I-95 Exit 181B and Highway 38 in the peaceful countryside of Latta, South Carolina, Cannon Acres is a quiet family-owned homestead offering RV travelers a relaxing overnight retreat with easy interstate access for those passing through the area.
Conveniently positioned near major travel routes, guests are only minutes from Pilot, One9, BP, and additional fuel stations offering RV-friendly truck fueling, hot food, potable water, showers, and nearby RV black and gray water tank draining services. Restaurants, fast food, Dollar General, and the locally loved Shuler's Bar-B-Que are all close by, making Cannon Acres an easy and comfortable overnight stop without the noise and congestion of crowded RV parks or truck stops.
Founded by a disabled Navy veteran and family, our 2.1-acre homestead is built around sustainability, conservation, and hands-on learning for our children. We believe in reducing waste, repurposing materials whenever possible, and creating a lifestyle centered on stewardship rather than excess.
The property features a growing garden, open country space, and ongoing efforts focused on pollinator regeneration, habitat restoration, and responsible land management. Much of what we build at Cannon Acres comes from reclaimed or repurposed materials, reflecting our commitment to intentional living and long-term sustainability.
To preserve a peaceful and uncrowded experience, we intentionally host only one RV or camper at a time. Guests enjoy added privacy, spacious surroundings, and 24-hour generator use due to wide site spacing and single-guest occupancy, making the site ideal for self-contained RV travelers, overnight stopovers, and late arrivals.
When available, guests may also purchase farm-grown fruits and vegetables, farm fresh eggs, and handmade crafts produced here at Cannon Acres, offering travelers a chance to support our growing homestead directly.
As we continue to grow, our goals include expanding native pollinator habitats, supporting honeybee populations, raising chickens for fresh eggs, and restoring additional acreage to benefit local wildlife and environmental health.

This was an amazing hip camp. The setup was very nice and spacious. The hosts were kind and let us leave late. The real bathroom and shower were a nice option to have to save tank space. The only negative was the dirt road to the location was a little risky in one direction due to soft sand, but I’d absolutely book it again. Just use the Middendorf rd entrance to the street and you won’t have any issues.

We had an incredible stay and would highly recommend this Hipcamp to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. Ashley, Dave, and their family are truly amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our experience special—from the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay.
The property itself is a beautiful working farm, full of charm and character, and it genuinely feels like a little slice of paradise. You get the best of both worlds here—it’s convenient to in-town amenities, yet still offers a quiet and peaceful setting where you can fully relax and unwind.
Johnson Family Farm is truly a little slice of heaven, and it’s clear how much care and love they put into it. While we may have arrived as guests, we definitely left feeling like family.

This was an awesome site! Alex’s land is really nice. The pond was beautiful and made for an amazing serenade of frogs, birds, and toads - especially at night. The sites themselves have great spots to set up a large 6-man tent. The boat was fun to try out and there were some spots for fishing along the side of the pond as well. We liked the short hike around the pond and the road into the site was not too bad to access either. Alex is really great at communicating any questions and concerns and even messaged us letting us know it had rained up there and to be careful on the dirt road that morning before we checked in.
Beautiful land and was exactly what we were hoping for.

Primitive, rustic, and secluded, but still close to a small nearby town. There are three campsites on the property, so if others are there, you’ll be fairly close to them. Luckily, no one else was there this weekend, so we had the whole place to ourselves.
The property has a more natural, lightly maintained feel, so don’t expect a lot of modern upkeep—the rowboat has a hole and isn’t usable. The outdoor toilet is very exposed to the elements and could use some attention (the tank was full), but it worked fine for us.
There’s plenty of firewood, and the fire pits are nice, with attached grates for cooking. There’s also a small trail around the pond that was fun to explore.

Overview
About
What time is it? Tee time! Nature loving golfers will relish the chance to meander through picturesque pine forest and along the bank of Lake Juniper as they enjoy Cheraw State Park’s challenging 18-hole golf course. Red-cockaded woodpeckers are the only spectators you’ll find at Cheraw. Paddle a kayak or canoe across the lake to enjoy the bright green hues of Cheraw’s dense pine forest, or cast your line off the boat in hopes of a hungry catfish. Cheraw State Park is the perfect mix of still-water serenity, undisturbed forest, and manicured links. Finish off the day with a hike or bike ride through the never-ending trails, a jump in Lake Juniper’s clear waters, or a horse-back ride through the woods, and you’ll be calling this state park a hole in one.
Notable campgrounds
- Lakefront Campsites: Enjoy the tranquility of Lake Juniper with 17 campsites offering stunning water views and easy access to fishing.
- Boat-in Camping Area: For a unique experience, venture to one of the two boat-in campsites, accessible only by water for a true nature immersion.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Book early, especially for peak seasons, to ensure you secure a spot at this popular park's limited campsites.
- Consider weekday camping for better availability and a quieter experience.
- Keep an eye on cancellations by checking the reservation system regularly.
