Best cabins: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.

Gittn' Pickled is temporarily closed. Hopefully reopening in 2025. News Flash! We now have Air Conditioning! Gittn' Pickled is located on VA620, a gravel road that doesn't see a lot of traffic. Trout Creek, a lively full year stream, is directly in front of the cabin and provides soothing sounds all day, and night. Gittn' Pickled is .6 miles Trail East of the Appalachian Trail on VA620. Appalachian Trail features Mcafees Knob, Dragon's Tooth, Audie Murphy Memorial, and Tinker Cliffs are just minutes away by motor vehicle. I've prepared a hiking guide to get you started. This is an awesome location to tackle the Triple Crown or just enjoy SW Virginia. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bZkMjAiJItDyPvifVL7sjVVtun9_xQP1/view?usp=sharing Pickles Branch terminates into Trout Creek here. Pickles Branch is a beautiful stream in a cool and richly forested terrain. All of the Miller Cove ground water empties into Pickle's Branch which can become very impressive during high water events. Miller Cove, within the Jefferson National Forest, is an area that was once occupied by a small active community. You will find foundations of old structures, springs, creeks, orchards, mushrooms, ramps, wildlife, and much more. Miller Cove can be accessed, by foot, directly from the site. It can be an especially interesting and pleasant hike without the inconvenience of shuttles and parking. Two bunkbeds are provided with four twin long (35x80) mattresses. These are new hospital bed mattresses with non-permeable covers. Four standard size pillows with non-permeable covers are also provided. You should bring additional bedding as desired; sheets, blankets, pillowcases, etc.

Comfort and Adventure!

Gittn' Pickled Appalachian Trail

We recently spent a weekend at Gittn' Pickled Appalachian Trail and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience! This camping spot offers all the essentials, including the much-appreciated luxury of hot water for showers. The stream across the road is not only beautiful but also provides a serene and relaxing atmosphere that enhances the natural surroundings. The site’s close proximity to several trails was perfect for our hiking plans. What made our stay exceptionally welcoming was the hospitality shown by Doug, our host. As a group of Latinos, we felt particularly invited and accommodated in this space. Doug's efforts to ensure we felt at home and his willingness to cater to our needs were remarkable and greatly appreciated. We are eager to return and highly recommend Gittn' Pickled Appalachian Trail to anyone looking for a welcoming camping site that combines comfort with adventure. It’s an ideal spot for groups seeking a friendly and inclusive environment near the Appalachian Trail.

My friends and I returned to this spot multiple times because it's awesome. A cabin in nowhere with bunks and amenities can't be beat. Deer were on the porch when I pulled up and you can watch the creek dribble by. 11/10 would go again.
