It has most of the open space around it, and can be a great place for parties. We are working on making the sites and the area more comfortable, but I do not want to make it a manicured park. I want it to remain wild and still offer comfortable stay. The farm is work in progress. Eventually it will be an Ostrich farm. and have other animals too.

Babbling Brook Campground

10 sites · Lodging, Tents10 acres · Moravian Falls, NC

Before the Kerr Scott Reservoir was built, in the 40's and 50's, this neighborhood was a local swimming hole and vacation area. Public buses came from neighboring communities so people could boat, swim, camp, and picnic. While we don't have access to the pond, our part of this land still is calling out to people, 'Come, rest, unload your burdens, and find peace.' When we started this project with Hipcamp, we didn't fully realize that we were reconnecting with the history on this property. So, come, take your shoes off, and wade in the creek. Read a book while laying in a hammock. Sit by the fire and chat with family and friends. Come and participate in our little homesteading project, and leave your burdens behind. LOCAL ACTIVITIES: To the west is the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is 30 minutes away. 15 minutes away is Kerr Scott Dam where you can rent kayaks, pontoon boats, as well as other sporting equipment. Fish, go mountain biking on the extensive trails, and hiking. Prayer Mountain is right up the road, about 2 miles away. Heading east, you can find several fine wineries andvineyards that you can visit. There is also a moonshine distillery in town. About a half hour away is an Amish community that has several businesses open to the public, including the Shiloh Bakery and General Store. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. To the northeast, about 45 minutes away, is Stone Mountain. Absolutely fantastic hiking, it is also an old homestead that has been renovated and is open to the public. To the south, there is Rocky Face Park, where there is hiking and rock climbing. Nearby, is Emerald Hollow Mine, where you can go and find, and keep, precious stones you find in the nearby river. There is also a great disk course course, Highland Hills Disc Golf Course, one of the top 25 in the country. There is fun for all ages.

Mountainous camping near Mocksville guide

Overview

Mocksville, North Carolina is a charming town nestled in the heart of Davie County. It’s surrounded by natural landscapes, including nearby parks and campgrounds for tent camping, glamping, and RV hookups. Explore Rich Park in town for playgrounds, paved trails for walking or biking, and facilities for bocce ball, horseshoes, and picnics. Then head out to hike through Uwharrie National Forest, fish in Tanglewood Park, or enjoy water sports like kayaking and canoeing on Yadkin River near Boone’s Cave Park. For some backcountry history, visit local landmarks like the site of Daniel Boone’s Family Cabin, as well.

Where to go

Uwharrie National Forest

Spanning over 50,000 acres, Uwharrie National Forest offers numerous hiking trails, fishing in its pristine lakes and rivers, and off-roading opportunities on designated off-highway vehicle trails. The park also provides opportunities for horseback riding, birdwatching, and mountain biking. Camping options are available at five tent and RV campgrounds through the forest as well as dispersed areas within the forest, allowing campers to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Boone’s Cave Park

About 25 minutes from Mocksville, campers can explore 7.5 miles of trails that weave through the backcountry. Fittingly named Boone’s Cave Park, wander the park’s 100+ acres—just like Daniel Boone did—on secluded forest hiking trails. Then, grab a bite at picnic shelters with stunning views of Yadkin River. Along the river, campers will find fishing spots and easy access for kayaking and canoeing. Keep an eye out for native wildflowers, butterflies, and diverse wildlife, including deer and hawks, as well. Campers can reserve their place in tent-exclusive primitive campgrounds with camping pads right in the park to spend multiple days in the wilderness.

Tanglewood Park

Only about 15 minutes from Mocksville by road, find Tanglewood Park—where campers can set up tents, park their RVs, and enjoy the park’s natural beauty. Explore scenic hiking trails, go fishing in one of two stocked lakes, or try boating and paddling adventures. Golf enthusiasts can also play on the park's championship golf courses. Cool off during hot days at the Aquatic Center, which provides a water playground and a lap pool.

When to go

Springtime brings mild temperatures and excellent weather for hiking and fishing, with some occasional rain showers. Summers can be hot and humid, with temperatures reaching the 80s and 90s—perfect for water-based activities like swimming or boating. Be prepared for potential thunderstorms during summer. In fall, temperatures start to cool down, ranging from the 50s to 70s. Winters can be chilly, with temperatures dropping to freezing or below, but they bring a peaceful and quiet time to campgrounds that remain open.
