Relax by the river, hidden amongst trees and fields, where sprawling space meets abundant outdoor adventure. Your riverside, self-serving, primitive stay will leave you feeling refreshed and closer to nature. The cool, shaded space snuggled between a stream and rushing river will be your own private retreat, on several acres, along beautiful Henry Fork River. Seclusion awaits, minutes from historic downtown Morganton restaurants, shops, breweries and more, even nestled along a “winery trail”. If you’re looking to stay put – tubing, body boarding, fishing, paddling, and creative fun await you. Sip your percolated morning coffee by the rushing river, spend afternoons fishing, painting and skipping rocks, into an evening roaming the area and fireside cuddling. If you’re seeking to venture out, head minutes away to hike South Mountain State Park trails and waterfalls, stroll Morganton greenway trails, take the kids (or pets) to all-inclusive Catawba Meadows Park (great disc golfing), cruise the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, explore the (literally!) cool Linville caverns, or splash around Lake James State Park beach area. The riverside area comfortably accommodates eight. Bring your family, friends, pets, and your sense of adventure!

Camping with kids and a dog!!
Big open spot on the river with plenty of space between the one other site!! Kids and dog all had a great time exploring and playing games. I would bring firewood in or stop at Food Lion near by. There is wood to supplement or get you started but not enough if you are hoping for a big fire all weekend. We will be back😃

Great spot!
Really nice spot along the creek! Only one other campsite nearby, so quiet and able to really enjoy the nature. A bucket for water, a bucket toilet, tp, and a saw were provided which was great! If you're not into foraging your own firewood, you may want to bring your own.

Perfect Place for Restoration!
Our family of 6 enjoyed the Hideaway so much even though it rained the first night. Most of our time was spent at the river which is right next to the campsite. When we arrived it had just rained the night before so there was some muddy tracks to avoid while we backed both our vehicles into the campsite. There is additional parking further away. We brought some folding tables but there was a 5’ table provided. Bucket toilet with one plus TP provided. We brought extra waste bags with gel and a little pop-up privacy tent for the girls. The ground is very level at the campsite and we’ll cleared so tent campers have good options. This site was closer to the fun part of the river (more rocks and tiny rapids) which we spent floating down on tubes and walking back up to do it again. The other campsite has deeper and calmer water good for kayaking. I hung up my hammock right next to the river and took a nap! Bruce was a wonderful host and was great to talk with. He checked on us to tell us the forecast since we didn’t get cell coverage at the campsite. My husband and I went to a grocery store about 6 miles away to purchase some firewood for some drier wood since we like to keep a fire going for cooking and long burn fires. There’s a Walmart about 8 miles away. The area feels very private and the campsite next to us was far enough away to not hear conversations. We would love to come back! Thank you Bruce and Jessica! This restful time was needed for our family!

Few nights with friends
We enjoyed our stay at the Wanderer. The river is right off the campsite for easy access and the water is clean/clear and we enjoyed swimming and playing in it. The owner of the site met us and provided items for our stay. He was very accommodating. Very well maintained property and it is very peaceful day/night.

What a perfect spot! Great view of the river as we sat fireside and a picturesque sunset over the hills. Our original spot was unavailable but the hosts upgraded us for free to one of their cabin sites to accomodate. We still tent camped so we could hear the river but the inside of the cabin had everything you could ever need! Site was easy to find and there was plenty of wood. Would certainly reccomend!! Thanks!
