Upper Meadow

I think campsite 1 In the upper meadow seemed like the best campsite on the property. It was mostly private with close access to the river.

Upper meadow #1

the confluence was wonderful! the site was beautiful, had all the amenities you could want and was situated right on the river with our very own access. Phil was a great host and even pointed us in the direction of some giant salamanders near his property (the purpose of our trip to NC). 10/10 would certainly come stay again

Upper meadow #1

Nice and relatively secluded, includes water and an outhouse on site. Our campsite also included a platform to pitch your tent on under the cover of the trees, making for nice cool mornings. The mills river runs along all the campsites as well and is very pretty. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Carefree camping with dogs and kids

I love camping near home and this awesome place provides total privacy with the convenience of stores, parks, and restaurants nearby (someone forgot to pack shoes.) This land is beautiful. We camped in a flat sunny meadow with 3 kids and 2 dogs. I appreciated the set up with a covered picnic table, fire ring with wood provided, wooden tent platform in the woods, a very short trail to a great swimming spot, and privacy. I did not mind the lack of a shower or using the outhouse but not everyone shared that opinion. Phil is a great host.

Amazing time!

We had a great time on Phil's property and would recommend it to others, especially families with children. Our campsite was located in the far back of the area, almost in its own meadow. You could see the other sites depending where you stood but they are at least 100 meters away so it felt really private. The meadow is about 30m wide and 70m in length so plenty of room to pitch tents. There is a wooden platform just off the field where you could also put a tent. Trees surround the field and the underbrush is thick in places which might make it challenging to put a hammock up. You can stargaze but you will see treetops in most spots. The river runs the length of the meadow and Phil has done a great job making it easy to get to it with concrete stairs. The water varied in depth from a couple inches to over 5 feet a little upstream. The water was clear so one could clearly see where the deep spots were. We saw a few trout as well. There is plenty of room for family games if you enjoy that. You are also ten minutes or less to grocery store, Starbucks, and gas. If you want to drive a little further there are outdoor stores and Walmart within 25 minutes. Phil was responsive to my texts through the app. I use Verizon for cell and had 1 bar for signal. I could text and make calls but if you were wanting to do a family movie night or watch YouTube it would be really difficult. Overall, I have nothing negative to say about the place and would definitely return. Thanks Phil!

Upper meadow #1

The upper meadow was an excellent camping spot for our small group. There was plenty of space for our 2 cars, tents, etc. It was quiet, serene and so much beautiful nature around. We put our camp chairs in the river on the hot parts of the day and that was a highlight! Reception is limited. Phil is great and really makes the stay worth it
