It is designed as a snapshot of places worth considering for summer camping, whether close to home or part of a bigger trip.<\/p><p>\n\u201cTravel can feel expensive right now, but people still need a real break,\u201d said Alyssa Ravasio, founder and CEO of Hipcamp. \u201cCamping is one of the simplest ways to step away from screens and feel connected with the world outside.

Those moments are a big part of what makes this place special, and this recognition means the world to us.\u201d<\/p><p>\n\u201cThe Spruill Conservation Farm is thrilled to be featured as one of Hipcamp\u2019s 50 Favorite Places,\u201d said Julia Townsend of Spruill Conservation Farm in Roper, North Carolina. \u201cSince the farm was protected by a conservation easement in 2023, the ongoing mission has been to provide research, education, access, and sustainable agriculture.
