**Post Helene Update: We are opening back up for the Fall! Lots of trees down but we got them cleaned up** Come experience private mountain meadows, on 70 acres, at the crest of the South Mountains. Camp at one of three sites, or hop around during your stay on the meadows below Bolin Knob. This entire listing is one booking, you’ll have the mountain to yourself. Views to the west of Mount Mitchell and the Blue Ridge Mountians; views to the north of Table Rock and Grandfather Mountain and to the east direct views of Silver Creek Knob. Stargaze the Milky Way at night with very little light pollution, relax by the fire, or explore the property and Bolin Knob. Hike adjacent to the property on 1,000s of acres of public land on South Mtn Game Lands. Nearby recreation: South Mtn State Park and Lake James State Park; fish/float the Catawba River in Morganton or Marion; bike the Fonta Flora trail at Lake James.**Post Helene Update: We are opening back up for the Fall. Lots of trees down but we got them cleaned up** This is one Booking with three potential Campsites, pick one when you arrive: A. Spring Flat: the lowest elevation and easiest to access, has clear views to the east of the South Mtns. Listen to adjacent spring bubbling out of the mountain and wake up with a sunrise over Silver Creek Knob. This site is easy to access and best for low clearance vehicles. B. Old Homeplace: tucked into the mountain, this large, flat site has a firepit and several trees for hammocks. Clear views to the north and east. This is the best site for ground tents. C. Windy Ridge: the highest elevation site with sunrise and sunset views. The wind blows up here a lot! See the sun fall across the Catawba River valley and watch the shooting stars at night. AWD/4WD or hike to access this site. *We highly recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles, when you leave the state maintained road you'll be climbing 400 ft to the meadows. In order to access the highest elevation site 4WD is needed most of the year. The majority of the road is packed gravel but some of the campsites are accessed through bumpy fields. You're welcome to park on the gravel and hike a short distance to the campsites.

Returning again to our happy place

This is the latest of many weekends we have spent at this beautiful site. As usual, it did not disappoint. We had great weather, the land was gorgeous and well taken care of, lots of wildflowers to enjoy. Our dogs always love having the place to themselves. On this occasion, we actually renewed our vows. That’s how special this place is to us. Bless you for sharing it 🫶🏼
