Primitive campsites are located within one and a half mile of the Channels State Park entrance. One can hike, bike or drive to the Channels if that's your destination. Beautiful views, forested hiking trails on old logging roads are plentiful on our 125 wooded acres. Wildlife abounds in this remote setting. Other interesting features are nearby salt mines with Civil War history and a nearby farm store, Goshen Homestead, less then 2 minutes away. There you will find firewood for sale, pastured poultry products like eggs and chicken, grass-fed milk meats and cheeses, ferments, dried fruits, baking supply like grains and flour, etc. All organic and non-GMO. You will be sure to find all your breakfast, lunch and dinner needs. The town of Lebanon is about 15 minutes away. Breaks Interstate Park is within an hour drive. Surprisingly, most phones get full service.

Hiking the Channels

Awesome, very private set up with fire rings, tables, and portalet. Really spectacular sunsets and great access to the Channels. Highly recommend.

Site 2- Wooded Canopy

Secluded, primitive, and perfect!

Great spot for secluded and primitive camping. Site 1 is the better of the two. The port o shitter is an excellent bonus, and clean. Was able to fit a 10 ft off road camper and jeep with no problem. Had an issue with the cable gate being broke and thoughts and security (being out in the middle of nowhere and leaving camping gear out) but contacted Nathan and within minutes he was out repairing the gate. The road to get here (US 80) is kind of shady, but go slow and look out for on coming traffic. The Channels trailhead is close and a great hike. Definitely recommend this place as a base to explore SW Virginia.

Site 1- Mountainview

Camping before hiking!

The privacy was amazing and my dog loved running around and enjoying nature. The views were great. Nathan was very helpful on access and making sure everything was good for us. The road to get there was quite steep. Just FYI. I would think you may need either 4 or all wheel drive.

Site 1- Mountainview

Such a pretty spot! Especially in the fall or winter with the views of campsite 2, we loved waking up to that view. GPS coordinates took us right there. Even tho service is sketchy driving there, I had 5 bars at the site. Would definitely recommend and will be back
