The Walter Durham Camp Site is Finished!

The Walter Durham Camp Site, located on our site's Nature Trail, is the perfect gathering place to be utilized by local groups with smaller numbers!

 

The Eagle Scout project has taken a little less than a month to complete, with a great deal of planning and effort being put into the project, even before its execution. Sponsored by The Home Depot of Hendersonville, the camp site was built by Eagle Scout Brad McCorkle of Troop 157.

 

 

This charming nook off the main trail is the perfect spot to relax with family and friends. With an almost completely private view of the lake rolling into the shore, things don't seem much better than this!

 

 

Off to the side of the central camping area is a small fire pit for use by campers. The area itself has been smoothly cleared and mulched.

In the future, we hope to create additional camp sites on the property. This is more of a long-term goal; however, with the continued support and involvement of our community in projects at the Castle, this may very well be a strong possibility.

 

If you are interested in possibly using our Walter Durham Camp Site for a small family, church group, or friends camping trip, contact us at info@historicrockcastle.com for more information.

We hope to see you soon!

Weddings at the Castle

There was another beautiful wedding here on the grounds of Historic Rock Castle this past weekend, and we wanted to share a few pictures with you from the set up in front of the historic home!

 

No wedding is the same here at the Castle. Every wedding has its own individual style and arrangement, giving each ceremony its own character and feel.

 

 

We're already booking 2014 wedding dates, so if you're considering Rock Castle as a venue for your ceremony or reception, be sure to give us a call (or shoot us an email) soon and check with us on availability for your date.

 

Call and schedule a Wedding Tour with one of our staff during regular business hours to learn more.

 

We'll see you soon!
