27 acres hosted by Matthew C.

3 tent pitches

My property is extremely secluded and private. Located two miles from beautiful Lake Burton and less than 10 miles from gorgeous, jaw-dropping waterfalls and landmarks. There are great opportunities nearby for trout fishing. Timpson Creek Farms is literally a walk away for organically grown fruits, vegetables, fresh honey, jams, and horseback riding; also nearby is Blackbear Creek Antiques for awesome merchandise, as well as Timpson Creek Art Gallery. Welcome for the opportunity to truly enjoy nature! There are X campsites up mountain trails on Silver Mountain. My home is located at the top of the driveway – far away from the sites. This is camping on “raw” land up on a mountain with acres to explore. It is a steep climb, very rocky, and there are areas that where caution is extremely recommended. Previous knowledgeable campers, have taken it upon themselves to make sites more comfortable. Most sites have a “store-bought” firepits to make cooking a little easier. You still need to know how to start a fire. Above my property line is an old quarry, which was abandoned years ago. There is also a bat cave (which my dog found). Many arrowheads, from the Cherokee Indian tribes; civil war bullets, and crystals have been found. Please be aware, less you forget, that there are many kinds of wildlife and birds, wild flowers, blueberries. Please take precautions not to leave food outside to attract animals. Under no circumstances is it appropriate to shoot an animal or fire weapons. The weather schedule here is not the same as downtown Clayton because we are at a much higher elevation. Make sure that your gear is water-tight. Hammock tents are, the best for a good night’s sleep. Automobiles are limited two per campsite. Arrangements have been made with a local business for off site parking. X number of people are allowed per campsite. Unregistered visitors are not allowed on the property. There is no Wi-Fi connection! Loud music or out of parties are not allowed. Each site will be given a walkie-talkie at the meet & greet, should you need to contact me. If given 48 hours, I will be glad to prepare your site for you. I have firewood available at $12 x per bundle. It is located at the bottom of trail site for pick-up, if you need it. No outrageously high fires are allowed. Please do not cut down trees. No calls after 10:00 p.m., unless it is an emergency. Novice campers will be assigned to level areas. Brush up on your camping skills. Respect the land and the environment. Leave your site as clean as you find it. Items you might want to add to your checklist: • Tarps • Ax • Shovel for burying body waste • Tools for starting a fire at your campsite If you have forgotten certain things, I do have limited gear available for lease. Returning campers will given a discount.

Site 1 - Pure Seclusion

Owner No Show

We never connected with the site owner on the day of our trip and therefore we did not use the camp site. When we tried to get a refund we were unsuccessful in contacting the owner. This in my opinion, was very unprofessional. It ruined a great trip we planned for a day trip hiking in the mountains and camping.

Site 2 - Pure Seclusion

Great campsite, great host.

Excellent campsite. The host was very hospitable and provided us with water, and a portable toilet. Site itself was nice also, there’s a hike through the woods to get there which is fun.

Camping and adventure.

I enjoyed my camping experience. It was secluded and very well put together. The Host Matt was great. He made sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this site not only to just camp. to explore as well. I will most definitely be back!

Camping in the woods

Matthew was super welcoming and friendly, gave us a bundle of firewood and marshmallows when he came to greet us. The campsite is secluded and very private in the middle of the woods. Thank you Matthew!!

Get there before dark!

Beautiful area! Matthews land is minutes from downtown Clayton, yet away in the mountains. You’re about 15-20 minutes away from numerous great waterfalls and mountains. We did Black Mountain State Park and managed to get two hikes in over a weekend stay. Our stay was great, except for our late arrival. I definitely recommend getting there before dark, as we had a lot of trouble finding our site. Matthew is very giving. He provides access to his firewood, and is open to questions and concerns.
