Site 2 - joyville near boone on elk creek
Fisherman / Dog Dad’s dream spot
I can’t say enough good things about Garry & Dianne and the experience they have put together for guests in their little slice of the Appalachians. I showed up after a day of mountain biking in Boone and realized I forgot the ladder to my roof top tent and Dianne was kind enough to offer me their creek front cabin for me and my pup to spend the night in. These people are the epitome of southern hospitality. If you want a convenient place to lay low near Boone and you enjoy fishing this place is meant for you. The creek that flows literally right in front of the campsite has some great holes filled with trout and smallmouth that you could cast into from your camp stool at the fire pit. Also if you have a pup that likes to run around off leash you can let them off with no worries. The property is closed in by the creek on ones side and a steep incline on the other with nice soft grass in between for dogs to run all their energy out. If I could give six stars I would. Thank you Dianne and Garry for the wonderful experience.

Site 2 - joyville near boone on elk creek
I felt very safe camping here, which is important for me as I’m a solo female traveler. Diane was wonderful to talk to and was so sweet and accommodating. The bathroom was very clean and I loved falling asleep to the sound of the creek.

Site 2 - joyville near boone on elk creek
This spot was gorgeous! Stayed on site 2 by the creek. Sleeping with the sounds of the creek was so nice. Loved the location, not busy but not too far from areas we were visiting. Host were great, bathroom clean and site was well maintained. Wi-Fi signal was OK but not super strong by the creek, but this is not a deal breaker at all since peace and relaxation was what we were looking for. Signal is better at the top. I would definitely stay again!

Camp Here!
GORGEOUS property! Great, easy swimming- perfect spot for families with younger kiddos or adults alike. Dianne and Gary were not only extremely accommodating, but generous and kind as well. We were absolutely treated like family while we were there. LGBTQIA+ folks- this is a safe space. Hosts are super kind. 12/10 would recommend. Anticipate more camps there in our future!

joyville near boone on elk creek
We loved camping at Joyville! Garry and Diane were very kind and made us feel welcome. The site itself was well-maintained and extremely pleasant. Especially thankful for firewood and an elevated platform on a cold and rainy night.
Site is about 25 min from Boone / 35 min from Blowing Rock. We drove 20 min from camp to hike the trails out of EB Jeffress park on the Blue Ridge. Would love to come back with a group of friends!

Idyllic spot in the mountains
Garry and Diane are the best hosts. They had great communication as we prepared to head to Joyville. They had plenty of firewood and that’s what you need at this time of year! The location by the stream was so nice, can’t wait to head back in the warmer months.
