Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Probably one of the most beautiful spots we have camped at. Feels like the middle of nowhere, but is a short drive to Sparta, or independence. Halfway between Stone Mountain and Grayson highlands. Daughton park is 20 minutes away ( however the parkway was closed during our stay )

3 nights at Peak Creek RV Campground

We loved RV camping on Greg’s land. He’s got a professional layout with an amazing peaceful pair of sites that are perfect for creekside play and also relaxation if all you want is the sound of the creek. We had unobstructed line of sight for Starlink and found the 45 minute drive to Boone and Blowing Rock to be painless. Greg was accommodating and friendly yet he didn’t intrude. It’s great to have stayed with a host with RV experience and a gracious manner. Thank you!

Weekend Trip to Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens

We were warmly greeted when we arrived, and treated with kindness like old friends the entire weekend. It’s a beautiful location, with an idyllic lily pad pond and captivating serene spots to rest in every direction. The grass was cut nicely on our site, and to allow us easy hiking around the bison pasture and goats. Curious peacocks followed us about. The barn swallows swooped and stole goose feathers and blooming dandelion. And I witnessed a bison stampede, only so briefly, when I suspect they thought I was planning to feed them. After which they returned to peaceful grazing. I can’t say enough to share how much we enjoyed this retreat. Thank you Pat for sharing your Walden Pond with us.

1 night at Peak Creek RV Campground

We loved camping on Greg‘s land. He was gracious enough to upgrade us to site one which had a fabulous view of the creek below and was shielded from the road by a cute little barn. We spent one of our days up in Boone and Blowing Rock, which was about a 40 minute drive. We would highly recommend these sites, especially for a family or small group since there is lots of space available for the price.

Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Amazing view all new setup very nice host i liked the site very well

4 nights at Parker Farms

Oh my gosh! What a perfect, perfect place for us to stay at during Merlefest. Lance was super kind, helpful and informative. The field was spectacularly beautiful and peaceful. Minimal leveling needed for our 26' travel trailer. Easy access to our site. The tripod doggoe even stopped by to welcome us. And somehow, somehow, we managed to even get a doordash delivery in the middle of a field with no house number. Lol. We loved it here. Would def 10/10 recommend staying here for any event Wilkesboro'ish!!!

Wonderful , private site on a beautiful property. Janet and her husband greeted us when we arrived. We were in town for MerleFest so we didn’t get to spend much time at the campsite, but hopefully we will be back and can explore the property.

Absolutely loved this property! We have stayed at several hip camps in West Jefferson and around NC, and this is easily in our top 5! Loved the open landscape and access to the water. Very quiet and private Thanks for a great trip!

Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Generally, our visits always create a review that showcases the location itself however, from time to time we have hosts that just go above and beyond. In this special Easter weekend visit at Redeemer's Ridge, we had the great privilege of meeting Linda and John. With amazing communication and great directions, I knew we were off to a wonderful start and meeting Linda at the RV site she greeted us with a warm and gracious personality. Also an Easter treat bag was given to us as well as important information about the site, the walking/hiking trails and the features of the site. Later on one of our hikes we spotted her from her backyard nearby and she gave us a radiant smile and a hardy wave... talk about being made to feel welcome! wow. By evening we had the pleasure of meeting her husband John, who was making the rounds to drop off firewood for us to enjoy once the evening was upon us. Meeting these two very special people made our visit so pleasant and we were able to enjoy a special Easter Sunday sunrise due to the them providing such a wonderful place to stay. On to the RV site itself. It is a work of art, truly. From the special 'Welcome' sign on the rock/boulder at the fork in the road between the two sites to the 'Scenic Sunrise' hiking sign that kept inviting us to make one more hike to the bench under the Pear Blossom tree along the road; the attention to detail is evident everywhere. You'll find a beautiful valley below to view and fully modern RV hookup sites.

3 nights at Wiseman Ridge Boutique RV Park

Amazing campground! Very private and beautiful views. We have a 27ft trailer, so I will say the gravel road up to the campground was a little intimidating at first, but we did make it up and down without any issues, definitely used 4 wheel drive, and you should be fine! Easy access to lot of things to do in the area, and the camp host was very easy to contact! Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Parker Farms

3 nights at Mountain RV Pads Full Hookup

3 nights at Redeemers Ridge Retreat

Slice of heaven! Quiet and beautiful views. Owners were caring and friendly. The sites were so well thought out. I appreciated all the detail that went into making this property a unique and beautiful place to stay. Just look around and you can see how much time and money was spent. The site itself is level, trash can available, firewood available, clean beautiful rock to park on, beautiful wood chairs on red stone, open property for the dog to run, enchanting pine tree forest and full hookup. Be prepared for a decent amount of wind because you are on a mountain.

Weekend Trip to Mountain RV Pads Full Hookup

We absolutely loved our stay at Janet’s place. Janet and her husband are so nice and welcomed us at the gate when we arrived. The site we stayed at (site 1) was private and peaceful. We enjoyed walking the trails and seeing the amazing views! Our site was exactly as pictured, level and clean. You can tell Janet and her husband have put their heart and soul into this place. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

4 nights at Mountain RV Pads Full Hookup

The hosts, Janet and Matthew, are really nice, very welcoming and helpful. The campsites are impeccably maintained. The other site was not booked while we were there, so it felt very private. But there is plenty of space between the sites, so even if both are being used, it should be a great experience. Walking the trails on the property was very enjoyable. This location is very, very quiet and peaceful. All we could hear were birds and wind :)

Weekend Trip to Wiseman Ridge Boutique RV Park

Private and secluded. Full hookups were a nice treat with the family. There was a fifth wheel parked at aite 4 I believe. Our camper is 24' long and I wouldnt recommend anything over 35' for site #1. The topography slopes off a little once you get off the gravel. We will be back. Thank yall for having us!

Weekend Trip to Farmhouse Gallery & Gardens

Pat gave us an incredible welcome to the property and it was quickly clear this would be an amazing stay. I mean, I saw a peacock and baby buffalo in 10 minutes of our arrival! We came for a local soccer tournament in Johnson City and a couple of our teammates camped out too. Thank you for everything Pat and I hope we'll be back! -Matthew

Creag Creek Farm

A high elevation working farm with a cabin (sleeps up to 8), barn with hayloft and tent sites for rent by individuals and small groups. Located at 3,500 feet in elevation on north flank of Roan Mountain.Three miles from the Appalachian Trail, five miles to Buladean, North Carolina and a 40-minute drive to Carvers Gap, our 18-acre, high elevation, wooded and meadowed Christmas tree farm is a wonderful jumping-off point for some of the best hiking, apple picking, and bird watching the Southeast has to offer. Unplug during your stay while you soak in the mountain views, peaceful sunsets, and local wildlife. Our guests love staying here: "Loved it. A thoroughly beautiful building in an equally beautiful location. It had everything we needed and more. We'd planned to use the cabin as a base to go hiking from but it was so beautiful there that we ended up not leaving for the entire time - we just stayed and watched the hummingbirds on the balcony. Will look forward to returning."
