Absolutely beautiful rolling hills and long range mountain views. Sunrises and sunsets were picture perfect. The hosts were very nice and the site was well maintained. We enjoyed Grayson Highlands nearby and the morning walk around the property to the ruins and pine forest. What a gem close to downtown Sparta and other awesome attractions. Had a nice dinner after a long hike at Red Dog restaurant about 8 minutes away from camp site.

it was a great site. it was very nice to have all the dogs to play with. I was a little worried about the terrain seeing how it was was below. I-40 0 but it is near South Mountain so you are enrolling terrain with great views driving to the campsite. We were on site and it was a larger site that it was easy to get into. we were here in a 26-ft travel trailer The site was very level

The river site #1 was quiet and easy to back into. Jenny came down and helped us settle in and had an adapter for our old fashioned 30amp plug. 10/10 recommend and will return. Morganton is a short 20 minute drive and offers plenty of diversions and dining if that's desired.

Great site! The view is spectacular, especially watching the sun rise in the morning and the shadows crossing the valley in the evening. The weather was nice so we left the rain fly off our tent. It was so nice being able to see so many stars with no light pollution. I had also forgotten what silence sounded like...I haven't slept this good in a while! There is a huge fire pit and wood available close by for purchase on Venmo. We were originally planning on setting up camp and then driving to find a hiking spot but we just ended up hiking the property, then coming back to our chairs and that spectacular view! We are local and came in for a quick one night stay to test out some new boondocking equipment and to see if the site would be good for the trailer we are purchasing next year. After climbing the road, I now see why they limit trailers to 20 ft. While we won't be bringing our trailer up here, we'll definitely be back in the tent!

Sparta, NC's best kept secret for RV'rs. You can stop in downtown for coffee/chocolate chip muffins or gourmet pizza slices then head on out from downtown Sparta for ten minutes to arrive hilltop to a premier location with full hookups, beautiful views, fire pits, and picnic tables. Check out some of the photos I've provided. It is unbelievably quiet and serene while you can watch the clouds breeze by. This is a minimum two night stay location but trust me, you need that much time to fully appreciate and recharge to face day to day life back home. Make your stay as soon as possible, you won't regret it.

This was our second time staying on Rachel’s land, and it was just as amazing as the first. The views are absolutely unbeatable — waking up to the mountains wrapped in morning fog and ending the day by the campfire with a wide open sky is something special. The site is peaceful, private, and well cared for, making it easy to relax and enjoy nature. Rachel is a thoughtful host and makes the experience smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to truly unwind and take in the beauty of the Blue Ridge.
