Add your business details- Wild camping on a horse and cattle ranch near Wilson, North Carolina
- A five-minute drive to Bridgersville; 10 minutes to It’s A Zoo Life
- No-frills grass sites on 90 acres of pasture with grazing animals
Down a long gravel driveway near Elm City in North Carolina sits Cavvietta, a rural spot for off-grid wild camping on a working horse and cattle ranch that doubles as an events venue and equestrian center. Here you can catch the sunrise over the riding arena, take a walk up the drive, and enjoy seeing the animals grazing, the dogs playing, and the chickens scratching for food.
Simple grass sites offer few facilities – please note there’s no running water and no electricity but portable toilets are available – and ample compensation comes in the expanse of farmland you have to explore around the camping ground.
If you want to head off a little further afield, Strickland Pond (10 minutes’ drive) offers anglers the chance to cast for catfish and bass, while cycling families can try their hands at gentle forest trails at Bicycle Post Mountain Bike Trails (15 minutes).
Back at base, barbecues and campfires are allowed, and you can spark up the grill with provisions from the convenience store in Bridgersville (five minutes). For major stocking up needs, head for Wilson (15 minutes), which also has a couple of informal chophouses, taco restaurants, and grill bars.

Outdoor family pursuits you can try locally center on the sports hub at J Burt Gillette Athletic Complex (15 minutes), with play structures to keep younger children happy, and plenty of room for the family to let off energy running around the ball field.
For some adult downtime, you can try golf at FarmVille (25 minutes) or Greenville (half an hour), or swim in the Pamlico river off Goose Creek State Park (an hour and 15 minutes) – and for a change of pace, brush up in your Civil War history among the fortifications and cannons at Fort Branch Confederate Earthen Fort Civil War Site (45 minutes), site of battle enactments during winter months.
