Private sites
100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Hello, we are Scott and Lynn. We hope you Enjoy your stay with us in our Back Yard Campground! We started the campground in 2016 after friends of the family pitched their tents down along the creek. They shared their enjoyment with us, and we realized how much we enjoyed knowing they were down there camping. We both have a great appreciation for God's creation and decided to open our gates to you. Lynn is a true Blue Ridge native and we both hope you enjoy the proximity to our towns, the mountains, rivers, streams, and waterfalls. The local apple orchards are also amazing! Hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and rafting are only a few of the activities available within a short drive. So, soak it all in, come back home to Back Yard Campground, watch the sunset and enjoy sweet dreams.

Campsite #1
Close to great hikes!
I loved tent camping on Patricia's land. The sites were spread far enough apart to feel private, and the surroundings were picturesque! Great proximity to Dupont State Recreational Forest.

Easy to find with the orange cones. The campsite was big enough for my mini van. The picnic table with lights was a great addition. The shower was the BEST! What a bonus. Hot water! Everything was clean. I'm recommending it to my daughter ! Thank you for a pleasant 2 night stay

Dad and Son weekend!
Perfect place to camp with the extra benefit of an indoor sleeping location. Peaceful and relaxing with a place to have a campfire. Even a nice shower and a clean port-o-jon. Super friendly hosts. I definitely recommend!!

Campsite #3
Campsite 3 is the most secluded and spacious next to the creek, has a separate driveway off the main road. Was nicely surprised when fireflies started flashing at dusk. Had no cell coverage at site 3 but it worked with a short walk to site 5 and by the shower. Next time might consider site 1 which is still along the creek but closer to the shower
