Ten restored 1950s vintage campers — each available for overnight stays — give the setting a one-of-a-kind character that has earned the resort features in Southern Living, Country Living, Pioneer Woman, and the Travel Channel. The property offers multiple gathering spaces for weddings and private events. The Walnut Cove Ceremony area is set beneath a canopy of walnut trees alongside Flat Creek and accommodates up to 150 guests, with a 60-by-60 double-peak tension tent, dance floor, wedding arbor, and a 1960 Airstream dry bar with bartending service included in the package.

Full-property and partial buyout options are available, making Hatley Pointe well suited for corporate retreats, leadership offsites, bridal and baby showers, engagement parties, milestone dinners, and family reunions.
