Back Yard Campground

We stayed in the coop this weekend and absolutely loved our stay! Waking up to hearing a rooster crow brought back childhood memories of my grandfathers farm. The coop had a great fire pit, privacy fence so you don't have to stare at other campsites, gas grill that lit with one click and had grilling utensils, beautiful views, it was very clean, and surprisingly cozy even when it got down into the 50s overnight. My wife loved the remote string lights on the ceiling inside. We brought a queen air mattress for us, and our son slept in one of the hammocks. There was plenty of room for the 3 of us and our luggage and air mattress. We are already talking about going back next Summer AND next Fall!

If you are looking for a relaxing place to tent camp in the Kanuga/DuPont area, I highly recommend giving Scott a call. His small, private campground was exactly what I was looking for. I spent the weekend cycling in the area. This location was a perfect spot for me. Scott was great to work with. I’ll be reaching out to him again when I plan my next cycling adventure in the area! Site 3 was great, Thanks Scott!

Best camping in the area. There are several tent sites with plenty of room, fire pits and picnic tables. Each one is shady, quiet and sits next to a beautiful little creek that's perfect for a dip after a long day. I've tent camped here for a few years now but recently decided to check out the new Coop a Cabana. It's a rather large chicken coop that's been renovated and repurposed into a small hammock cabin. You'd never guess it was once an old chicken coop. It's super clean, comfortable and packed with charm. The hammocks are deluxe and fantastic for sleeping. The inside is completely sealed, bug free and comes with complimentary coffee. Right off the front is the screened porch with gas grill, flat top skillet and seating for two. You can't beat it for staying dry on a rainy afternoon.

Stayed at this campsite in 2019 and chose to come back again for another DuPont adventure. Love campsite #3 for tent camping. Large site with privacy right beside the portajohn and firewood. It is also right next to a lovely creek and farm, enjoyed hearing the water along with the cows and roosters. Super convenient if you're visiting DuPont State Forest as the road with all of the trailheads is just around the corner. Thanks for another pleasant stay and will be back! 😊

Had an AMAZING weekend at Backyard Campground! Very nice campsite and the owner was excellent! Can’t wait to go back, found our spot and it’s close to Dupont and a few other state parks. Very clean place with plenty of room at your campsite! Thank you for an amazing weekend I’ll never forget! If you are looking for a nice relaxing campsite in that area this is the one!
