About this property

"Coop-Ahhh Cabana" ! "Glammock" campsite near Dupont State Forest!

Enjoy the peace and security of a cozy and familiar space, protected from the outside environment; like chicks gathered under a hen's wings. Settle easily into our totally revamped, recycled and repurposed chicken house! Sway slightly as you lie back in two, single-person hammocks from Eagle's Nest Outfitters....soooo comfy and airy....an easy short flight to dreamland.
Wake in the morning to the sounds of the creek running just below and the farm animals across the way. Stretch your wings and turn up the fire on the Coleman X-Cursion grill with its "swaptop" features to heat water for that first cup of coffee (prepared with Aeropress coffee press). Set your tail-feathers down and enjoy the start of another Southern Blue Ridge Mountain morning, unbothered in the screened-in "patio" area. Go ahead, you can preen a little! You made a great choice! Our nest is your nest!
You can also enjoy the picnic table and fire ring right outside the door! We have done all we could think of to give you the camping amenities you asked for, while giving you the comfort of a protected space. Check the pics, although I'm afraid they don't do justice to the space! No electric, no wifi, no running water, but lit by battery-powered LED. Also super-close to clean, sanitized "outhouse" (porta-jon) and a short walk to the brand new on-demand hot water shower room located near pump house. This is a drive-up site. 2 person maximum occupancy.
Our favorite easy-in and easy-out campsite has undergone MAJOR renovation! Located just 3 miles from the most-visited State Forest in the United States....Dupont State Forest! Here you will find miles of beautiful hiking, horseback and mountain biking trails, with a gorgeous waterfall around every bend! Go the other direction from the campground and in less than ten minutes be at the entrance to Pisgah National Forest with more breathtaking gifts! A short drive brings you to Brevard, N.C. or to Historic Downtown Hendersonville, N.C., with unique shops and a great variety of first-class restaurants!
The accommodation features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The accommodation also includes a coffee maker.

A little time in the Chicken Coop

Great little place to stay and not worry about a tent, firewood or the weather. Would definitely plan on returning.

Quaint little getaway

Arriving after dark was a little spooky but the check in directions made it easy to find and get in. The hammock was comfy brought great relaxation. I quite enjoyed the sounds of nature, farm animals, and the creek out back.

Convenient, clean, and great setting

Clean bathroom (portable) but did not use shower which I heard was decent. Great shaded spot by a babbling Brook. Only negative was noise from farm animals on adjacent property that perhaps some ear plugs would take care of.

Backyard camping at it's finest

We stayed in site 4 with our little pop up camper. It was perfect... and by perfect I mean we were able to pull right in and pull right out (no backing in to a tight space in the dark). The sites are close together and it's not glamorous, but it checked all of our boxes for ease of access and convenience to mountain biking!

Had a great stay!

We stayed on a cold spring morning. Host was extremely accommodating and communication was excellent. The sites are decent and along a stream near a farm. We were the only couple staying when we were there but could see that it could be a little close to other campers if all sites were full. We pretty much just slept there and didn't spend much time during the day, but would definitely stay again.
