Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.
Sleep under the stars while listening to the river run while staying on a working farm! During the summer months watch our vegetables grow and the pickers pick! The winter months you'll enjoy a sea of green as our cover crop takes over the field. You can cool off in the river or check out the surrounding Pisgah National Forest. Dogs on leashes are welcome and owner is responsible for cleaning up after pet. The farm provides a portable toilet but no other amenities. Campfires may be restricted, so check local regulations. This is a working farm, so please be respectful of the crops and workers and keep dogs on leashes. Fishing is NOT allowed on the river unless you have booked a trip with one of our guides. Please note, if it’s rainy the roads will be muddy and 4-wheel-drive vehicles are the best option. Head 4 miles east to the town of Mills River for restaurants, stores, and services. You can find hiking, biking, and horseback-riding trails within a short bike or car ride in Pisgah National Forest. Chimney Rock State Park is 25 miles east and offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountain scenery. Or perhaps go for a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Our guests love staying here: "This was our first time using Hipcamp and we couldn’t have been happier! Candace was great at communicating and quick to respond to our questions. Site 1 was perfect. We had so much room for just the two of us and the water access was great for our dogs to swim. Plus it was so quiet, we’ll probably never go back at state park camping! Thanks for everything and look forward to visiting again!"

Absolutely beautiful location - lots of good / spaced out camp sites. Unfortunately for us, we traveled 7 hours to stay in campsite #3 and the site was taken when we arrived. The host refunded the majority of what I paid. Very disappointing experience for us. Based off of reviews this was probably a one off mistake on their part. Either way we are very disappointed

Top 10 Swimming Hole In WNC!
Tent · Group trip ·
This was our third stay at one of DB bar D’s campsites, and we'll definitely be back for more! The site is very spacious, with plenty of room for 4 tents, which made it the perfect place for a group outing. Having a big open field right near the site is great for activities, and the swimming hole can't be beat! The water was crystal clear, and plenty deep enough to swim around in, without moving so fast that you end up down the river. Couldn't ask for a better spot to camp at!
