Fantastic Spot!
We had an awesome time camping here! The site was super private and had tons of room for the dog to run around! The land is very secure and the trails on the property are well paved. Definitely suggest checking out their land. It’s cool! The site was well equipped with a fire pit, table and a few chairs. The fire pit was set up to host a grill grate which was awesome for cooking. The outhouse was super clean as well. With Linville Gorge, Pisgah National Forest and the BRPW all within a short distance we were away for a good part of the day but were sure make it back to the site in time to catch a sunset over Table Rock!! It was incredible. The cows are super close to the site and are also so cute to look at.

Very beautiful camping option close to the Linville Gorge area. Edward's place is a quiet spot to camp with a very responsive host.

Nice secluded camping spot. I loved that the owners provided extra camping stuff (table, chairs, hammock) in case you forgot anything and they even provided plenty of firewood!

Grand seclusion
This property is a perfect mix of secluded yet accessible. It is a 15 minute drive into Morganton if you want to get out and do some dining, yet you won't see another person for your whole stay( other than farm hands tending to stock once a day). It is so well equipped you could show up with a tent,sleeping bag and food and you would be fine. There are a lot of activities to do right on the farm as well as several adjoining area trails for hiking. This was our first stay with Edward and we will definitely be back. You wont be disappointed with this property!

This site was beyond perfect. The platform worked very well for our large tent. The outhouse was phenomenal. We used the fire pit for warmth, and for cooking, and it served its purpose well. There were extra hammocks, tents, and a table in the outhouse if we needed them. The grounds were very quiet & peaceful, we weren’t bothered at all by the workings of the farm during our stay. The trails are a little hard to navigate & didn’t really know where they lead until before we left. We walked & walked and didn’t find much, but the views were still pretty great. We also got to witness the Brown Mountain Lights, which were definitely the highlight of our trip. Absolutely no complaints, and we would most definitely stay here again.
