Elchenburg Castle Farm Introduce
Elchenburg Castle Farm, located at 2239 Center Rd, Boonville, NC 27011, serves as both a campground and a venue for large-scale events, falling within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category.
While the venue is noted as a "decent place for large scale events" and praised for its good water supply across the site, it is crucial to acknowledge serious safety concerns raised by a customer review. The review details a severe incident involving a camper who sustained significant burn injuries from a propane tankless water heater installed in a garden shed without proper ventilation. The review alleges that the camper later died from these injuries.
The review strongly advises potential visitors to "use facilities at this property at your own risk," questioning the safety of DIY modifications made by the owners and their friends. The reviewer expresses concerns about the competence of those who installed the propane gas line and equipment in an enclosed space.
While the venue is noted for hosting large events and providing a good water supply, potential visitors should carefully consider the safety concerns raised in the customer review before making a decision. No information concerning official inspection of modifications are available. The review mentions they have supposedly modified things to be safe.

Customer Reviews
Beware. Equipment is allowed to be set up in an unsafe manner, and still used even after severe injury to a camper (~50% of the camper's body burned in a gas explosion fire from a propane, tankless water heater installed in a garden shed without proper ventilation. Camper spent a couple weeks in a burn unit ICU before dying). Supposedly, the owners and friends have modified things to be safe, but do you really trust the modifications being made by people who thought it was a good idea to install a propane gas line into an enclosed space with equipment that has a boiler operated by flame? I'm a big fan of DIY projects, except when the project has the potential to kill people when done incorrectly and the people doing the DIY project don't seem to know what they are doing. Use facilities at this property at your own risk. Teamwork makes the dream work until it turns into a nightmare and you or your loved ones get severely injured due to incompetence.
Decent place for large scale events. Haven't tried the showers but water supply across the site is good.
Amazing site, with potable water, warm people's and a good welcoming place for beginners for SCA events and activities
Elchenburg Castle is home to War of the Wings in October. Other times of the year it hosts SCA events like the Kingdom of Atlantia Coronation. It's a large spacious space that accommodates large numbers of guests. I also like how it's a convenient drive only minutes from I-77.
One of my favorite places. I have attended multiple large events with my organization here. Nice places to camp, good facilities for showering. It's clean and large. Drive 14 hours from Massachusetts to attend and don't regret it.
What are wonderful fabulous place!
