Riverside Wanderer Hideaway
2 sites · RVs, Tents3 acres · Morganton, NC
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!

Tiny House in Happy Valley
1 site · Lodging300 acres · Lenoir, NC
I moved here from San Francisco, to simplify my life, and accomplish my dreams. The Tiny house was designed and built by architect, Jesse Plaster. It's a unique cozy loft style design, set back in the woods on our property. It's purposely placed next to a creek, with a nice stone fire ring to really enjoy the outdoors. In the cold months, it's heated by a wood burning stove. Also next to the house are logging roads that allow you to hike the Ripshin Mountains. The Yadkin River is near by, and so is Boone and Blowing Rock. If you like mountain biking, bring your bike to ride Kerr Scott, or Zacks Fork trails. Also, check out the workshops at Pattersonschoolfoundation.org They offer sustainable living classes such as cheese making, mushroom foraging, blacksmithing, soap making, kimchi making, etc... Also ask about our private Yoga sessions. Last but not least, there is a wood burning private sauna that your able to reserve.Come enjoy our Happy Valley! Mi casa es su casa!

Wonderlust Acres
1 site · Lodging11 acres · Purlear, NC
The farmhouse served as Benjamin’s primary residence for six years, providing a never-ending source of inspiration and peace that most folks only experience a handful times in their life. In 2011, Benjamin moved to Boone and began leasing the farmhouse as a vacation rental.In 2018, he purchased the adjacent five acres (that he could not afford in 2004) and began to reclaim the land and creek from the scrubby, thorny growth that had settled on the dormant property.While the property transformed before his eyes, Benjamin felt as if he was discovering this place for the very first time. As he reveled in the excitement and pleasant exhaustion of working with the land, he became increasingly convinced that this special place was meant to be shared. Thus, the concept of Wonderlust Acres as a gathering place was born.More than a business, Wonderlust Acres is an expression of Benajmin’s appreciation for the spirit of the mountains and the endearing communities that they envelop. With the opening of Wonderlust Acres, Benjamin invites you to experience the enchantment for yourself.Learn more about this land:Located just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Mountains-to-Sea trail, and just 30 minutes from Boone/West Jefferson/Wilkesboro, and nestled in a private, open-meadowed valley overlooking a noisy trout stream and large ponds, the timber frame barn is a 3800 sqft wedding venue with the 2 changing rooms which have been converted to 2 glamping rooms. Both are locked off from the main barn structure to allow use when no events are scheduled, and have separate private keyed access, and include streaming TV, a 2-top burner, mini-fridge, and fold-down small full sofa bed for 2 (larger people may need to bring a blow-up mattress/pad for more room to spread out!). There is a men's and women's bathroom with 2 stalls joining the barn and accessed from the outside, along with 2 outdoor showers for longer stays. Propane, on-demand hot water is provided. The other structure that can be rented is the pond pavilion (an additional guest fee is charged over 4 people to accommodate) that features 2 full-size outdoor mattresses, a camping stove, chairs, and large firepit and firecircle. There are picnic tables also on site for use. This is truly luxury camping.

In the summer the leaves fill in and there is still a beautiful view just not as detailed, if you will. That area has a few Crape Myrtles and shrubs before the mature pines begin again.
As you drive in it opens up. The cabin sits to the right of the property. The side yard and back yard is where all the fun stuff is located table, chairs, hammock, fire place, horseshoes and more seating, with seasonal flowers, tree art, bird houses and shrubs throughout. The front is where you will find humming birds and many other birds that raise there young in the spring so a lot of bird watching and songs goes on throughout the property.

On the living room walls are framed photographs of the South Mountain State park. And there are a few motivational outdoor adventure type art, wildlife and bike decor throughout the home. As you continue to move through the living room you find a semi open floor plan that opens up to the dining, kitchen and laundry area and to the right hallway leading to a bathroom and two more bedrooms. The master bedroom and bath is just off to the left of the living room it has a queen size bed with a cabin charm decor, a double closet for storage of your things and the master bath that has a garden tub with towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner, towels, wash rags and a few extra amenities for the ladies like individual packs of make-up remover and bath bombs please limit to use of stay so everyone gets to share the love and there is no need to pack those.

Walking further in you will see a stand that I keep a dated and signed cleaning check list, fly swapper and simple cleaning items, vinegar based cleaning product and the washer and dryer, however, I don’t provide laundry soap so plan on that if you need it.
There is a back door leading to a small porch that over looks the big yard side and back in the fall, winter, and spring months it has amazing mountains views. On that porch I keep fresh herbs, fresh mint, tomato, and small vegetable garden for your cooking convenience so help yourself during your stay. If you time it right maybe even a fresh watermelon! There is also a galvanized trash can to put your trash in when you leave, thank you in advance!
The hall bathroom has a stand up shower, and bathing essentials. The towels, wash rags and extra toilet paper can be found in the bathroom closet. And down the hall you will find two more bedrooms one has a twin bed and bunk beds with view of the back yard, pines, Carolina Jasmine and some new trees that just popped up that will add some visual interest so I’m letting that grow, Yeah! The last bedroom has a double bed and an extra TV that plays VHS, find wholesome VHS tapes for the kiddos in the drawers, but parents you must be responsible for the use of this TV and when you book you are agreeing to those terms. There are a few oldies but goodies for older teens as well. The view is of the large open front yard, pine trees and bird house, Crape Myrtle trees, Holly and flowering shrubs. The rooms are comfortable in size, the kitchen has plenty of room and a spacious living room.

Camping near Statesville with snow sports guide
Overview
The area surrounding Statesville is filled with opportunities for outdoor adventuring. Explore the waterfalls and rivers while hiking through Pisgah National Forest, or indulge in a wine tasting at one of many nearby scenic vineyards. Local state parks, like Lake Norman, Stone Mountain, and Morrow Mountain, offer well-appointed campgrounds with everything from primitive campsites for backpackers to comfortable cabins with modern appliances. It’s also possible to go hunting at the South Mountains Game Lands, or try rock climbing and horseback riding at Pilot Mountain State Park. Statesville area campsites take you from creekside bass fishing to high mountain vistas with panoramic views of the North Carolina countryside.
Where to go
Lake Norman State Park
Set on the northern shore of North Carolina’s largest manmade body of freshwater, Luke Norman State Park was once known as Duke Power State Park. The inland sea was formed as part of the construction of Duke Power’s Cowans Ford Dam in the mid-20th century. The warm water fishery is home to striped, largemouth, and white bass, and boat dock use is free at the park. Campers can also rent rowboats and canoes. All campsites come with picnic tables and fire rings, plus access to potable water, washrooms, and hot showers. Some RV sites have full hookups with 30- and 50-amp service available. Cozy wood cabins feature heating and air-conditioning units.
Stone Mountain State Park
About an hour north of Statesville, Stone Mountain State Park boasts several hiking trails ranging from the easy 0.4-mile K.I.P. Track Trail to the much more strenuous Stone Mountain Loop Trail and the 11.32-mile Mountains-to-Sea State Trail. Explore waterfalls and winding creeks through the forest while spotting such local wildlife as woodpeckers, hawks, black bears, and salamanders. Camping options include backpacking sites for tents, plus trailer and RV campsites, some with electric (up to 50-amp) and water hookups. Each site has its own tent pad, picnic table, and fire ring, plus access to toilets and hot showers.
Morrow Mountain State Park
Boasting amazing views of the surrounding Uwharrie Mountains, Morrow Mountain State Park is at the heart of one of the oldest mountain ranges in the eastern United States. On clear days, soak in panoramic views of the neighboring countryside and Yadkin-Pee Dee River from the top of the mountain. Lake Tillery offers terrific fishing, including a boat launch and fishing pier, as well as a waterfront picnic area. Primitive campsites through the Backpack Trail require a two-mile hike, while Hipcampers can also choose from modern cabins with fireplaces and back porches, as well as tent, RV, and trailer campsites, including some with electrical hookups.
When to go
Spring and fall are among the best times to go camping near Statesville, when milder temperatures can make outdoor pursuits like hiking and biking more enjoyable for some Hipcampers. These shoulder seasons also have fewer insects, like mosquitoes, compared to summer. Wildlife tends to be more active in the spring and fall, too, offering better opportunities to catch local fauna in their natural environment, both in the forest and along the water.
