We had a great stay! John was an awesome host, his wife was also very sweet, and my kids enjoyed playing with some of his grandkids! We had plenty of space for our tent and a nice firepit. It was great to have a bathroom set-up. My husband used the shower-basically heated up water to put into the shower bag, so nothing fancy-but it was nice if you needed one. The kids loved meeting and feeding the farm animals, and they had a great time playing in the creek. They said it was so beautiful:) I liked that it was only about 12 minutes drive to pilot mountain, and 25 or so minutes to hanging rock state park, (depending which hike you went to). Over-all-we had a great time!

We loved camping on Papa’s Farm under the Catalpa tree. It was a nice quiet spot with amazing views of the mountains.. The host, John, was very friendly and accommodating. He also alerted us when bad weather came in and made sure we were ok when the storm was over. It was a nice touch that you wouldn’t get anywhere else.

Wonderful host
I really loved my stay at John's! He was a incredibly hospitable. I got to enjoy a morning of visiting the farm animals and feeding them, and got to pick my own eggs! John made me feel so welcome on his land, keeping me stocked up on wood and water without me even having to ask. He even shared his favorite beer with me, and left me with some delicious greens and berries for my travels. I look forward to visiting again in the future!

John was a great host! He helped us get settled and checked in during our stay. The land was beautiful and we enjoyed seeing the stars at night. Our granddaughter especially enjoyed feeding the donkeys and riding on the tractor. She was able to gather eggs for our breakfast too. The location was perfect for exploring Pilot Mountain and the surrounding area!

Great experience
We had a wonderful time staying on John's working farm. Beautiful location overlooking Pilot Mountain. John delivered wood and let our granddaughter feed all of the animals, drive the tractor and get fresh eggs for breakfast. . Tons of animals to see. Chickens, cows, donkeys, turkeys, pigs and more. Would highly recommend.
