Savage Acres on Craig Creek

6 sites ¡ RVs, Tents120 acres ¡ New Castle, VA
In a remote valley, along the banks of Craig's Creek, just north of Roanoke VA, the property includes mature hardwood forest, pasture, and an 1830s log cabin where we live. We love to share this special place with visitors, and have some basic amenities for campers. The campsites are at the edge of a large pasture and just a few steps from Craig Creek and our big swimmin' hole. Totally secluded in a remote valley - no houses or roads in sight (but our cabin is a short walk through the woods if you need something), no cell service for most providers, but within a short drive of Roanoke and Blacksburg, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.

The best camping near Bluestone National Scenic River guide

Overview

About

If a vacation in a rugged, mountain wilderness sounds like heaven to you, then southern West Virginia has what you need. Surrounded by mountains, the Bluestone River Valley offers plenty of boating, fishing, hiking, and animal-watching. You can only access this 10.5-mile national waterway from the two adjacent state parks if that tells you anything.

Jump on the Turnpike Trail, a 9.5-mile wooded trail that follows an old river road. The trail connects both of the adjacent state parks, both of which have more hiking trails and loop trails. Make sure to wear blaze orange during hunting season, as this area is open to hunters. If fishing is your thing, get ready for abundant bluegill, rock bass and smallmouth bass in this river valley.

The forest has reclaimed a lot in this area, including the lost town of Lilly, one of the first European settlements in West Virginia. The Lilly family returns to this area every year to celebrate their heritage. You might see signs of this town, and other human settlements, during your hike or fishing trip.

Getting to the Bluestone River area is half the fun. Take a tram from May to October for great mountain views from Pipestem Resort State Park, or hike in from Bluestone State Park. There are a few dirt roads that take you down to the river.

Every season offers something beautiful here. Whether you love active wildlife in the spring, kayaking, and canoeing in the summer or gorgeous fall foliage in October. The forested land of Bluestone Gorge hides plenty of natural bounty if you just know where to look.
