Saint Anne's Chapel and Oak Grove Retreat Center is a unique historical venue for your next camp site in the Tarboro area of North Carolina. The farm was originally established in 1832 by the Pender Family. On the current 25 acres is a restored 1920s Episcopal Mission Church with parklike grounds that is maintained year-round and has a rich and interesting history. We have host a wide variety of events over the years, including weddings, receptions, meetings, retreats, drum circles, sound healing's, festivals and more. Camping is available in the field or in the 17 acre woods. Learn more about this land: Welcome to Oak Grove - a property with a 100 year old de-consecrated Episcopal church, beautiful woods, and amazing grandfather oaks. A common site for weddings, drum circles, and other metaphysical and spiritual happenings, the property has a labyrinth, a free expression chalkboard, a Zen sand box that are free to use.  A short walk down the wooded trail brings you to a small clearing with a central fire pit and several areas suitable for a tent. Situated close to a road, traffic can be heard but easily tuned out, particularly as the road gets much quieter at night. The woods are next to a large open field that is great for star gazing.  Bring your hammock!

My stay at Oak Grove Retreat far surpassed my expectations in every way! The location is near enough off of I95 so getting there was quick and made it the perfect to stop for the night to break up my drive south. The property has a few features I appreciated, particularly the composting toilet (a very nice one, I've seen many), the fire pit that was generously supplied with firewood (thanks again!), I had a magical moonlit stroll on the path through the woods before turning in. There is a beautiful old church building on the property that hosts a variety of interesting activities. Kevin was a friendly and attentive host. He made sure I had everything I needed, and made me feel quite welcome to enjoy the space. I would absolutely recommend this place, and recommend looking into the variety of community activities on offer as well.

Beautiful property! Great, peaceful stop between South Carolina and DC. Communicative host. Hula hoop class was extra bonus. Camping is a bit off the grid style but accommodating and well maintained. Delight is in the details.

What a unique experience! Kevin’s is a friendly helpful host and the property is AMAZING! Kevin invited me to come to a yoga class that was happening that evening in the church. I had such a wonderful time!
