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.

Want to see 5 star panoramic views of the Appalachian Mountains? This ultra safe, ultra private property is located only 10 minutes off interstate 77. There is only one farm past ours so traffic is very minimal. Plenty of room to do what you and your pets want to do while exploring on our 60 acres. Come enjoy the view and recharge and relax in peace and quiet. The sun rises up behind the view and lets you see just a little further. It is magical and one of the best things this mountain has to offer. It will not disappoint. We can accommodate up to a 35ft RV. The best part is no long walk for the best views! You can park at the campsites and camp on flat ground. Each campsite features a bench and a camp cooktop. Nothing is needed to use the cook tops other than a campfire. The area has many parks, rivers and trails for fly fishing, kayaking, biking, hiking, horseback riding, bird watching, and photography, etc. View stars as only those miles away from any light can experience. The crickets and whippoorwills will sing you to sleep. Google link, trail map, and campsite location map will be emailed the day of arrival.

Why be Square?! Blue Ridge Yurt
2 sites · Lodging2 acres · Pilot, VA
Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned company in Floyd, Virginia, started by my mother, Sharon. We were staying at Treebones, a yurt 'glampground' in Big Sur, California, and fell in love with yurts together. My mom said, "I think I could build one of these," and the company was born!
She does all the woodworking, using sustainable practices, with locally-sourced wood, and her best friend Kathy does the fabric end of things. I was one of her early guinea pigs, and love my yurt property dearly <3 This 24' yurt sits on a beautiful private acreage off an end-state maintenance road, with biking and hiking trails just a 20 minute drive from the touristy town of Floyd, Virginia. There's a steam shower sauna, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a deck overlooking the mountains with a table and seating. Enjoy!

Peaceful Easy Feeling
1 site · RV, Tent70 acres · Princeton, WV
A very peaceful place to get away from the hectic city life and enjoy nature. Children and pet friendly. Build a campfire under the stars and relax. Large camping site and beautiful mountain views. Acres of trails great for biking and hiking. Also a pond for catch and release fishing.
This is private property, so it is not what you would expect from a "camp ground". The site is very secluded and private. If you are looking for quiet, this is your place!
We are within an hour of Pipestem State Park. Other sites in driving distance are the New River Gorge, Babcock State Park, and Winterplace.
We will greet you at check in and guide you to the camp site.
Also, all of your firewood is included! You will want to bring ‘starter logs’.

The best camping near Bluestone Wildlife Management Area guide
Overview
About
Bluestone Wildlife Management Area is the antidote for summer blues. Get out of that cubicle and hit up these 17,632 acres of land and lake. Boat, fish or canoe until you’re as wrinkled as a prune, and then head into the great green wilderness for some hiking or horseback riding. A visit to Bluestone WMA is practically a destination wedding between water and woods—you’ll quickly fall in love with this easygoing swath of wilderness. Trout fishing doesn’t get much better than the stocked Indian Creek, and Bluestone’s WMA status allows hunting in the area if that’s your cup of iced tea. You’ll only find one body of water bigger than Bluestone Lake in all of West Virginia, so take advantage of this ocean of freshwater with a long day in the boat. When the sun has set and so must you, head to one of 330 campsites for a night in the quiet woods. In a place this big, the only friends you make might be trout!
When to go
The ideal time to visit Bluestone Wildlife Management Area is during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural beauty is at its peak. Summer brings warmth and a full bloom of flora, but also the busiest season. Winters can be harsh, with some areas less accessible, making it less ideal for a visit.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast and prepare for changing conditions when planning your visit.
- Be aware of local wildlife and follow guidelines to ensure your safety and their protection.
- Some areas may have limited accessibility, so verify the open trails and facilities before you go.
- Remember to pack out all trash and leave no trace to preserve the park's natural beauty.
- For any inquiries or assistance, visitor centers are typically open from 8:30am to 5pm.
