Our six-acre solar-powered goat farm is a quiet and peaceful slice of paradise away from the chaos and noise but close to so many places to adventure. Hurricane Helene completely missed the farm. Everything looks fantastic with trees ready for the fall colors. Feed and play with the goats, picnic along our grass-covered brook, hang out around the large fire pit, and rejuvenate while being close to the many Smoky and Blue Ridge Mountain activities. We have two custom-built RV pads with 15 and 30-amp service plus water and four grass tent locations overlooking a small brook in a forest-shaded park-like setting. Internet is provided by Starlink Business - high speed, low latency, and great for remote workers. We provide solid service throughout the entire property. Work from the top of a mountain!! IP service is available throughout the property - perfect for Van Life or van living. 200-300 down and at least 20-30 up!! Nearby are numerous hiking trails, lakes, waterfalls, and other outdoor activities such as tubing, white water rafting, and boating. If you want to chill, you can check out a local swimming hole. For the next few months we have a kayak guide on-property who can take you and your group through some of the lakes and streams nearby. Contact us for availability and pricing. We have several options for our guests at the farm, including a small zipline, farm activities, loop trail, massage services (20+yr licensed), spring trail, wine tastings, weekly outdoor movies (on request), and our petting area where you can interact with very friendly goats. RV/CAR/VANLIFE We can help by recommending and using local mechanics, on-site RV repair (they come to us), solar and power troubleshooting, and good old-fashioned southern kindness. STORMS/BAD WEATHER Located on the campground is a tiny home shed that is being converted to a studio but is open and available during harsh weather.

We had a wonderful time! The campsite was clean and well taken care of. The movie night was a lot of fun, and the goats were so friendly and cute! The flush toilet outhouse near site 4 was helpful.

Farm Camping Perfection

Absolutely perfect stay on Scott's land. We had everything we needed, and more, with the electric power cord and firewood add-ons. We booked all of the tent sites for a gathering of family and friends and it was perfect space for the 16 of us (split between 6 tents) and could have easily fit another tent or two. The 5 kids in the group (7 and under) had a blast "rock climbing" on the boulders near the barn, giving Lilly the farm dog all of the pets, and generally living their best lives in the woods! Goats and chickens on the farm are very well cared for. Group fire pit and movie under the stars are a must for any visit. 10/10 would recommend.

Camping with goats!

Scott’s farm was perfect for our little family get away! Our three year old loved meeting the goats, and having internet on site meant we were able to find hiking spots and get ideas for activities. The other guests were friendly and we appreciated the distance between sites. We will definitely be returning!

Grass Tent #3

We had a wonderful time over Labor Day weekend at Scott & Nancy's property. Our kids loved waking up everyday to play with the goats and even got some goat milk souvenirs from the little store. The hosts were very accommodating and available to answer and questions or issues we had.

Grass Tent #4

Overall good experience. Nice and shaded spots to camp, though closer than I expected them to be. The outhouse wasn’t working the day we came in, so there was only one restroom for the entire camp on the opposite side where we were staying. Paid extra for firewood both nights and thought it would be at our campsite, but it wasn’t. There is a big stack of it at the front of the camp open to everyone. The camp is fairly close to towns and easy for the GPS to find.
