Our location is 2 miles south of I-40 off exit 121. Hickory is in the foothills of western North Carolina, and is about 1 hour east of Asheville, 1 hour west of Winston-Salem, 1 hour north of Charlotte and 1 hour south of Boone, NC. Site is beside a barn and is level. There are pickle ball courts about 10 minutes from our home so bring your paddles and balls! We are having a water shortage in our area due to the drought, so we are not allowing water hookup at this time. However, we can bring water to you in 5 gallon increments if needed from our home, which is on a different well. Please arrive with a full tank of fresh water. After hosting well over 50 guests in only 1-1/2 years we have recently felt a need to change our host site. For our former guests, I deeply apologize and hope you will return regardless your rig size and status, and for everyone else I hope you will understand. Preference will be given to guests that are, or have been, Boondockers Welcome HOSTS. We strongly support fellow CAMPERS that make this wonderful site work! Not saying we won’t host a full-time RVer, but we have recently had several “guests” (all full time RVers wanting FREE everything to avoid a mortgage) who wanted to treat us like an RV park and be rude and complain. If this is your idea of being a guest, PLEASE just keep on going down the road! There are 2 Wal-marts in the area that allow overnight parking. Suggested Local Attractions: Pickle Ball courts nearby (i.e. 10 min drive).Easy access to the mountains of NC via Hwy 321 and Hwy 181, and I-40 east and west.
