Perfect camping spot!
Chickens and pigs and donkeys oh my! Papa John’s farm was an amazing camping spot. There is lots to do and many animals to pet. I came with my dog and my grandmother, John made us feel like family. His farm is conveniently located near town but secluded enough to spend the night listening to the crickets and the crackling of our fire. 10/10 Would recommend staying here!

Papa’s farm is the best!
We cannot recommend papa’s farm enough! He is such an amazing and interesting host. Feeding the animals was the cherry on top! You have to try the chicken eggs they are amazing!

You have to buy the pumpkin butter!
Papa John’s land is the first Hipcamp I’ve ever visited twice! My first time at the creekside sight, it was beautiful, secluded, well-kept, and close enough to the house to feel safe. We didn’t experience a lot of wildlife activity at night and felt safe with the guardian dogs protecting the property. Papa John has given me fresh produce from his garden both times I’ve been, helped us carry all our gear down to the sight, and made sure we had dry firewood. Such a great spot!

My boys loved it!
Papa John could arguably be the nicest human alive. The creekside location is secluded. You’ll be exposed to the wildlife but each farmhouse in the surrounding area seemed to be equipped with an abundance of watch dogs.
The fresh eggs were great and my boys enjoyed feeding the animals and playing in the creek.
15 minute ride to Pilot Mountain State Park.
