This was the perfect spot for us. A group of long time friends wanting to spend time together. Have some comforts that make it easier then camping but still enjoy the outside was a perfect fit. The tent was incredible and the location was secluded. Definitely hope to make it back here in the future.

Blair was an exceptional host. He takes great care of his guests and responded to things very promptly. He brought up a second solar generator for us because the first wasn't fully charged and got us tiki torch oil when we needed it. The property is beautiful and I definitely plan on going back. The hilltop safari tent is a great spot and I highly recommend it. The tent was in immaculate shape and ready for us to have a great weekend.

We loved our visit and will very likely return! The safari tent was exactly as described, and it made for an easy and relaxing overnight after a big hiking day. Really enjoyed the creekside spot, winding-down around the fire-pit and the Adirondack chairs on the deck. Other campers were around but were no bother. The peaceful sound of the creek reduced any noise, plus wooden dividers around sites increased privacy. Thank you Blair for hosting us!

Camping on Blair’s land, was the break we all desperately needed. The land is beautiful and serene. We stayed in Mt Glade tent. It was so accommodating. Blair was very attentive to our needs. Even came by multiple times to drop off firewood as we miscalculated. Will definitely be back

Super cute spot! Had everything we needed for our first camping trip with an 18 month old and 4 year old. Brought our walkie-talkies and inadvertently made friends with some neighbor campers who had theirs too! Highly recommend :)

This is a wonderful private get-away place for peace and quiet, the land and the stream are delightful!! It is an easy drive to BlueRidge parkway and places beyond for day trips, then back to the lovely quiet stream. Highly recommend if you want nothing but beautiful land!

We really enjoyed the opportunity to stay in a yurt! The sites are very private and makes you feel like your back wood camping. It’s also in a great location. It has Linville winery and we also enjoyed dinner in Little Switzerland. We will definitely be returning

The creekside camping was nice and serene, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We stayed at the Mt. Glade tent which had a lot of nice touches, even built-in shelves in the bunk areas. The porta-johns were very clean. The whole campground is really quite nice and well-kept. It's on our list to return and we highly recommend to those looking for a hybrid camp/glamp experience without breaking the bank.

This was one of the best camp set ups we’ve been to by far. Parking is right there, great fire pit and grill set up. We had some light rain in the morning, so the covered porch was perfect while we waited it out and had our breakfast. Will definitely be coming back .
