(Notice - Our property was recently damaged by heavy rains from hurricane Helene. We have been working to make repairs, including along the long driveway entering the property. For those return campers and all new guests to Honah Lee Farms, we are no longer accepting trailers or RVs due to the narrowing of our driveway from the recent flood-waters. We apologize for any inconvenience and will post updates here if the circumstances change. - Brian)
Our camp is the shared vision of Brian and Lee and son Michael. We fell in love with this beautiful property where we plan to build our eco-friendly, off-grid homestead and farm. Lee's favorite song and the inspiration behind our name is "Puff the Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary. A land of whimsical imagination, beauty and maybe a dragon or three is our shared vision for the farm.
The camping options are flexible, ranging from prepared campsites along both Little and Deep creeks with composting outhouses nearby, to "Camper's Choice" options where you may hike in or drive in and create your own camping experience. Please note that since the "Camper's Choice" options allow freedom to select hike-in or drive-in options, the exact distance to nearest outhouse may vary.
There are 144 acres to explore so campers can set up a secluded getaway or cluster together in a group.
We are flexible and can work with you to create a camping experience that suits your needs.
Learn more about this land:
Honah Lee Farms has over 140 acres of woods with open fields distributed throughout. We are bordered to the south by the Flat River, to the west by Deep Creek, and to the north by Little Creek. Most of our campsites are nestled in the trees along one of these bodies of water and all campers have access to the 10 foot waterfall area where Deep Creek runs into the Flat River.
This campsite offers a serene and secluded experience, perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. With a creek nearby, it's ideal for fishing, exploring, and even a refreshing morning splash. The hosts, Mike and Brian, are consistently praised for their friendliness and helpfulness, ensuring guests feel welcomed. While some reviews mention a lack of cell service, it seems to enhance the peaceful retreat many are seeking.
My group went tent camping at the Lower Creek campsite, there was a beautiful creek with a view of cow pasture across the water. At night beavers came out into the water which was so neat to see! Overall, we would definitely camp here again.
Third time’s a charm, but so were the first and second times!! This property is an absolute gem - 30 mins from Durham with creeks/rivers, fields, and amazing hosts. We brought our 1 year old Lab camping this time (her first camping trip), and the wide open field was a great resource to have available for energy burn. As always, Mike and Brian were so gracious, and the surrounds were amazing. Just what we needed this weekend - thanks again!!
Went hammock camping again here for the 3rd year. Everything was perfect as always and Mike (Brian's son) was a fantastic host. We will be there again next year.
Great site, very private. Nice stream next to site. Plenty of space for tents and cars. Overall a great weekend at this Hipcamp - would go back for sure.
We had a lovely time! Our site was easy to get to, had a nice flat area for the tent, and a great firepit/table area for meals. We'll definitely come back!
