Our six-acre solar-powered goat farm is a quiet and peaceful slice of paradise away from the chaos and noise but close to so many places to adventure. Hurricane Helene completely missed the farm. Everything looks fantastic with trees ready for the fall colors. Feed and play with the goats, picnic along our grass-covered brook, hang out around the large fire pit, and rejuvenate while being close to the many Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountain activities. We have two custom-built RV pads with 15 and 30-amp service plus water and four grass tent locations overlooking a small brook in a forest-shaded park-like setting. Internet is provided by Starlink Business - high speed, low latency, and great for remote workers. We provide solid service throughout the entire property. Work from the top of a mountain!! IP service is available throughout the property - perfect for Van Life or van living. 200-300 down and at least 20-30 up!! Nearby are numerous hiking trails, lakes, waterfalls, and other outdoor activities such as tubing, white water rafting, and boating. If you want to chill, you can check out a local swimming hole. For the next few months we have a kayak guide on-property who can take you and your group through some of the lakes and streams nearby. Contact us for availability and pricing. We have several options for our guests at the farm, including a small zipline, farm activities, loop trail, massage services (20+yr licensed), spring trail, wine tastings, weekly outdoor movies (on request), and our petting area where you can interact with very friendly goats. RV/CAR/VANLIFE We can help by recommending and using local mechanics, on-site RV repair (they come to us), solar and power troubleshooting, and good old-fashioned southern kindness. STORMS/BAD WEATHER Located on the campground is a tiny home shed that is being converted to a studio but is open and available during harsh weather.

The tent camping is good, the facilities are good, the goats are amazing, and the doggo is fabulous. The deep tissue massage was otherworldly, and both hosts were great.

Not what we expected..
Overall our family and the family we traveled with enjoyed camping together, but there were a few issues at the site. I feel that since they advertise and charge extra for the electrical (we have a 30 amp pop up camper) outlets should have adapters. Also, cords were all over the ground near the water spigot, which could have been from the owner working on the wiring before we arrived (he did mention he had to work on the wiring). The biggest issue that was not communicated beforehand was that one of the toilets on the property was fed by a stream. Once we arrived, we were told that they have been in a drought and we would have to carry a 5 gallon bucket with water from the spigot at the campsite back and forth. Even this would have not been such a big deal, but we were camping with 4 adults and 7 kids. It was a lot. I think that should have been communicated before arrival. Also, the other bathroom on the property was incredibly dirty and far from the site for our children to use. The man who runs the property was very kind, loves his goats, and hid candy for our kids. The communal fire pit was great and he had an entire rack of wood available. I did not go in, but my husband said they had a nice camp store. Overall, it was a nice weekend with our friends, but I feel this site might be best for those who are tent camping.

Great camping spot
Great time, service, and hospitality. My son found plenty to do during down time from the zip line, splitting wood, or playing with goats.
