Buckfield Farm and Woods

5 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · NC

An 80 acre property with about 40 acres of cropland and 40 acres of woods. Lots of wildlife, not far from the Cache River, 2 hours from Nags Head or Virginia Beach. Great for the "get away from it all" feeling. Not for the dainty camper as there are rattle snakes, bob cats, sometimes bears, and more roaming the woods. Lots of deer! You can make your own campsite on the old road surrounding the back field that is surrounded by Weyheuser woods. The farmer and the main tenant are most likely the only people you might encounter occassionally.

Raw farm land that has just been logged. It will be the future sight of an organic farm.Learn more about this land:If you are looking for an authentic camping experience, meaning all you have is your gear and your wits, then this would be the spot for you. The property has recently been cut by a logging company so the terrain is very rough and full of trip hazards, so you assume the risk. Perfect spot to shoot an end of the world movie...LOL.
