The Farm Stand Cottage @ Camp Driftwood Asheville

Our hearts are broken. Our beloved camp was demolished by Hurricane Helene 2024 from the "1 in 1000 Year Flood" in Western North Carolina.

Devastation to Camp Driftwood has left us with almost a total loss, except for 1 property standing, but severely damaged. (See before and after pics below.)

We are needing to clean up, rebuild, and reclaim this special destination so that it's stunning riverbanks can be enjoyed by our friends and family for years to come. As you can imagine, our rebuild requires funding for materials, labor, and large equipment.

If you share our love for this magical place and want to be a part of this recovery, please donate to Camp Driftwood via Venmo(*) at @CampDriftwood

All of the funds donated will go directly towards infrastructure, clean up, grounds, roads, structures, etc.

The Farm Stand Cottage is just perfect for a quick easy getaway to the river! The Farm Stand was once a fruit stand used by a local farmer and was brought to this special spot, then retrofitted into a glamping cottage(*dry unit). This spot is located just down the river from the rapids and offers the most outrageously spectacular water sounds. Fall asleep listening to the rushing rapids of the French Broad River and wake up to them too! A sprawling covered porch with tin roof gives you that feeling of rustic living and makes for a great afternoon even it's raining. The comfy queen bed, kitchenette, and dining area make the inside feel cozy and modern. A well-maintained portable toilet is adjacent to the Farm Stand and The Bathhouse is an easy walk down river about 170 feet. It is the closest cottage(*dry unit) to the camp area, conveniently located for when your friends like to camp
but you want a soft bed.

This is Glamping at its best!
