This property is 180 acres of woods and mountains with streams and ponds. Beautiful settings. If you like hiking in the mountains this will definitely hit the spot. YO can fish in the ponds it has blue gills and catfish. I also added grass carp there as part of weed management. This used to be an abandoned farm which I want to bring back to life. The site offers three luxury large Safari Style Tents and 4 Pioneer wagons. All tents are far away from each other to provide privacy and freedom of going Wild (still remaining civilized in your manners and careful attitude to Nature around you). Tent 1 is in the Forrest itself and it is pretty cook and serene. Tent 2 is on the top of a rocky hill overlooking the forest. Tent 3 is the most remote and closest to the ponds. It has most of the open space around it, and can be a great place for parties. We are working on making the sites and the area more comfortable, but I do not want to make it a manicured park. I want it to remain wild and still offer comfortable stay. The farm is work in progress. Eventually it will be an Ostrich farm. and have other animals too. The closest town - Lenoir is about 12 miles away . Closest Grocery store (Dollar General) - about 3 miles away. Closest Gas station - 2 miles away. Professional Tennis court, Basketball court and large kids playground are in a public park within - 5 minute drive. Lenoir has restaurants, shopping, etc. Hickory is a larger town about 25 minutes drive. Hickory Lake is a large reservoir with marina where you can rent a boat and it also offers a good game fishing. Nice swimming beach access on Lake Hickory 13 miles ( 20 Minutes) from here: Lake Hickory Wittenburg access area (Wittenburg Access Area, 175 Wildlife Access Rd, Hickory, NC 28601) Asheville is 1:25 hrs to the West, Charlotte is 1:25 hr to the East. There are couple of Ski resorts 45 minutes to an hr away.

Simply wonderful, had a perfect tim
Everything was perfect, Adil's setup included everything we needed and some things we wouldn't have thought of. We loved the area, and the kids had fun with the canoe. We'll be going back and would recommend this site to anyone.

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
Tent 1 was a breath of fresh air for first time campers like my partner & I! The tent was big with a queen size bed, a shelf on the inside, multiple window flaps, a big deck & multiple chairs. Having a bathroom, sink, & shower accessible made our stay a lot smoother! There was a broom and dust pan that helped sweep away the crazy amount of stink bugs (the bugs didn’t bother us in the slightest). The string lights made the ambiance romantic (which was perfect for our occasion). Firewood is provided that was tucked close to the tent just in case it rains (it did rain). Having a grill and fire pit all ready to go made preparing food and roasting marshmallows all the more enjoyable! Adil responded to all my questions in a timely manner, which was appreciated! The hike that’s described, in our opinion was not bad at all. Would recommend bringing a wagon if you plan to bring quite a bit necessities like we did lol. Overall we really enjoyed our stay!

Tent 2 King of the Mountain Camping
Great place to camp!
We were very pleased with our stay in Tent 2. The walk up the rocky hill to the tent was easy and our 4 wheel drive made it to the tent with ease. The non 4 wheel drive suv we parked at the bottom of the hill. Brand new queen bed was so comfortable. Great communication with the host. We brought a generator and didn’t even use it much. Using a down comforter kept us very comfortable. It was very quiet and private. This is a great balance of real camping and glamping. The cold shower was definitely refreshing to say the least. They are planning solar electric to this site. Next time I will bring my camping bag shower and just fill with hot water and hang in the shower. 3 camping chairs and a picnic table, fire pit with grill and a coal burning grill is supplied. We will definitely return. Tent 3 is just as nice if you don’t want to walk up a hill to your tent. However the view was well worth it. Definitely check out the other sites and the covered wagons they were very impressive.

Tent 1 - Forrest Cump.
This place was awesome! A taste of off-grid living truly. So much more than typical tent camping. They really have thought of everything! When we were there, they had 3 cots and a queen bed in the tent as well as some camping chairs. There was a sink, shower, toilets, drinking water, picnic type table, grill, lights, fire pit and fire cooking grates and hook.... The only thing is the "gentle hill" is not a gentle hill but a short hike up a mountain! We would come back but park closer.

We absolutely loved our stay at Tent 3. We were surprised when we arrived and there was electricity! We could charge our phones/speakers. The trees blocked us from the extreme heat. There was a Queen size bed already in there and Adil provided 4 more cots for our use. We will absolutely be back !
