Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
Get away from the crowds. On 300 beautiful acres once operated as a children's summer adventure camp, this property has a house with a dormitory style bathroom for camper use. There are 3 primitive campsites, 2 cottages, and a horse sanctuary. The campsites are spaced out around the property for privacy. A short walk gets you to the bathroom reserved for campers only which has 2 toilets, 2 showers, and 2 sinks. 4WD or AWD is recommended for all sites due to 1/2 mile gravel road and then completely off road for a short distance. Or, if you are bringing 2WD, there is plenty of parking and then walk to your campsite. We don't recommend trying to bring large RV's due to the access. Winter camping is encouraged with free firewood. However, you will probably need to park near the bathroom and walk to your campsite to limit soil erosion of the off-road trail. Pets are welcome only at some sites, but please please let us know you are bringing them and they will need to be leashed due to other animals. A large part of the property is forest with hiking trails, creeks, and wildlife. You can see wildflowers and lightning bugs in season along with deer, turkey, and horses. And all of our spots have a great view of the sky! We're not far from the Bare Dark Sky Observatory. The grass horse arena and the pond were originally built for the summer camp. The pond is stocked with bass and bluegill and has a chorus of bullfrogs in summer. The arena is flat and has a long range mountain view all the way to Mt. Mitchell (highest peak east of the Mississippi). There are also a meadow spot encircled by trees.

Pond Spot on 300 Acres!
The pond site
We loved out stay at the pond site! We spent the day exploring the woods and laying in the sun! It was so cool to see the horses roaming! (I was smitten by Samurai) Rebecca was an awesome host. She was really helpful and available but also let us have the privacy to do our thing. The pond is beautiful! I was glad I had a 4 wheel drive, it was a bit steep but there is a parking area as well and you can walk down your things if necessary. The bathrooms were awesome! I'm usually a primitive camper so it was nice to have access to a shower and bathroom sink and flush toilets. We had cell service throughout the property. I think there may be WiFi available near the bathrooms. It would be a nice and safe area to solo camp. The pond site is closest to the home but it feels completely private.

The kids and I had a great time camping here. The pond spot was great and felt private, but was also short walk to the bathrooms. I would recommend.

The great escape
This location was absolutely perfect for our anniversary camping trip. Very peaceful and private. Would definitely recommend for fishing and leafing. Just beware of bees. I know it’s the outdoors but there was soooooo mannnny.

We’re Returning and Bringing Others
Our host, Rebecca, has been amazing BOTH times that we have visited her beautiful property. On both occasions, we (unintentionally) arrived at night and she was still so accommodating. On our most recent visit, she had a fire awaiting us ❤️.

Private Meadow But Not Remote
Lots of space!
We had a great time at this site! We had plenty of space to run around, and the bathroom was a short walk down the road. My little one loved seeing the horses and ponies on the farm, and every morning we saw deer in the field!
