Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

We are a secluded, land-based retreat and campground, along a tributary of the Tar River which backs up to a wild forest, offering individuals and small groups a place for rest, exploration, sanctuary, and grounding. Equal parts woodland, floodplain wetland and pastureland, R.O.S.A land is stewarding 23 acres of ecological magical oasis in an Aquatic Habitat deemed an important NC Natural Heritage area of the Piedmont of North Carolina. Rare mussel species and amphibians live here. Come see for yourself! This is a queer-stewarded, solidarity-focused rematriation project. This land is co-deeded to MK of Handewa Farms and owned at present by K Cox, Steward of the Respite An intentional community of farm hub tenants, visitors, campers, stewards co-habitate on R.O.S.A (Rare Occaneechi Saponi Alluvial) land together. We offer nature-based immersion for artists, healers, cultural and frontline organizers and their families taking time for restful resistance. It is a triptyech of woods, water and pastureland butting up against an untouched wild old hardwood forest - a combination unlikely found in the PIedmont- nestled among small tobacco, horse and hay farms in the Southeast corner of Granville County between Oxford and Roxboro in the beautiful PIedmont of North Carolina.

Back Country Canopy (#4)

Great site, the area was clean and surrounded by trees connected by a trail to Site 3, which is where another group of friends stayed to be close to the creek. Great secluded campsite!

Big Beech Creekside (#3)

This is such a hidden gem; it's my 3rd time booking at this campsite. It's great for a dip in the creek and a fun time with friends. The trails are well-maintained, and the amenities are great for first-time campers. I love bringing my friends here, and it has become somewhat of a tradition to come here and unwind. The host is very kind, thoughtful, and quick to respond; I will continue to recommend and spread the word about this wonderful site.

Bus glamping with a dog

Glamp in Sonny the Wonder Bus

It’s a beautiful quiet environment. The bus is cute and the bed is comfortable. It was cold when I camped, but with the little wood stove, my sleeping bag and the blankets Kristen provided I slept nice and cozy. My golden retriever enjoyed the wide open space and the little trail by the river to play and walk.

Hug-the-River (#1)

Great stop! Some dogs at a neighbors were a little loud, but the space is great.
