NCHH Harvest Hang
A September hang at VanHoy Farms just off I-77, with hot showers, a creek and stargazing with local astronomers.
The NC Hammock Hangers run the Harvest Hang at VanHoy Farms campground in Harmony. The site has woods, hammock stands, a stream and a shower house with flush toilets, so it is an easy first hang. If Friday is clear, the Piedmont Amateur Astronomers bring telescopes for stargazing. The NCHH rate has been $10 per person or $15 per family for the whole weekend. The 2026 edition ran September 18 to 20.
