Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

I have an open field and some woods. If you want to gather wood for a fire that’s fine. Or you can bring your own if you want a fire. There’s a spring that I drink out of and it’s the best water. There’s an outhouse a very primitive outhouse. It’s mostly quiet but occasional neighborhood dogs barking.A quiet field and small creek with plenty of spots for epic fires for individuals or large groups. Depending on how many people are there you could have the a couple acres to yourself or you could be sharing it. There are a couple of spots in the woods and there are a couple of spots in the field. I'm not offering a lot so I am not charging a lot.

Friendly Host (honest and helpful)

Tent

Would go back again for easy access to Pisgah National forest trailheads! Stay the night and get an early start like I did. Totally worth it. Anyway, the host was super friendly and honest. The description was spot on. It’s not much, but it’s all you need. The host was amazing and greeted me late at night to show me the property. I didn’t find the outhouse, but it was easy to dig a cat hole. You’re camping in someone’s yard, but it’s big and there’s a private area. It’s a great spot for a fire with a pit already. It’s really affordable and easy to park and access. There’s no potable water, but there’s an easy-to-access spring.
