Sleep under the stars while listening to the river run while staying on a working farm! During the summer months watch our vegetables grow and the pickers pick! The winter months you'll enjoy a sea of green as our cover crop takes over the field. You can cool off in the river or check out the surrounding Pisgah National Forest. Dogs on leashes are welcome and owner is responsible for cleaning up after pet. The farm provides a portable toilet but no other amenities. Campfires may be restricted, so check local regulations. This is a working farm, so please be respectful of the crops and workers and keep dogs on leashes. Fishing is NOT allowed on the river unless you have booked a trip with one of our guides. Please note, if it’s rainy the roads will be muddy and 4-wheel-drive vehicles are the best option. Head 4 miles east to the town of Mills River for restaurants, stores, and services. You can find hiking, biking, and horseback-riding trails within a short bike or car ride in Pisgah National Forest. Chimney Rock State Park is 25 miles east and offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain scenery. Or perhaps go for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our guests love staying here: "This was our first time using Hipcamp and we couldn’t have been happier! Candace was great at communicating and quick to respond to our questions. Site 1 was perfect. We had so much room for just the two of us and the water access was great for our dogs to swim. Plus it was so quiet, we’ll probably never go back at state park camping! Thanks for everything and look forward to visiting again!"

Site 2 - Swimming Hole

This was a beautiful spot for us locals to come spend the day with some out of town guests. The swimming hole was perfect, there was a swing for the kids to swing on and loads of room for them to run around. The trash cans were so helpful and the grill definitely came in handy! 10/10 recommend!

Site 3 - Where the Rivers Meet

Easy in and out. It was just a quick stay out easy to pull in, quiet and I felt safe.

Site 3 - Where the Rivers Meet

This is our second year camping here with a multi-family group. We absolutely love this site! We rented both 3 and 4 to have plenty of room to spread out. The riverside is just magical. The crops are a beautiful backdrop. The hosts have been nothing but friendly and accomodating. The whole group wants to make this a yearly tradition!
