Deer Creek is a cozy community of Class A and Super C owners located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in Galax, Virginia. It’s hard to top the majesty of these mountains, and, frankly, we think anyone attempting to outdo nature’s majesty has the whole thing backwards. We believe life in these parts is about appreciating and honoring the epic beauty of Appalachia. So, if you’re up for making new friends and sharing great times in the heart of one of America’s most pristine landscapes, we say, “come on out!
Whether you’re a bass master or a wannabe bass master, our fully stocked fishing pond is steps away. So, pack your light tackle and be sure to include a few spinner baits because there’s a monster down there just waiting to strike something shiny. If you’re an avid angler who wants to catch the dawn bite, choose a site overlooking the Deer Creek Pond, so you can rise, shine, and cast away. Catch and release only, please. The fish help keep our pond healthy.
We completed a beautiful rebuild of our Clubhouse over the 2022-2023 season, so our community hub has never looked or felt better. With a full kitchen and a total of 3,850 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, it’s the perfect setting for any type of get-together. The Clubhouse also happens to be home to our on-site fitness center and laundry facility. So, you can work out while running a few spin cycles, if you like.
Discover our small-but-mighty fitness center, where every workout packs a punch. Thoughtfully designed and fully equipped, it offers the perfect blend of high-quality machines and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick session or committing to a full routine, this intimate space delivers big results with personalized comfort and zero intimidation.
Our furry friends also have a great place to play. The dog park is full of green grass – no dirt here! Equipped with a dog station, water, benches underneath the shade tree for our humans, and lots of room to chase a ball or roll around in the grass.
Please note: Rental season is April 15 - October 31.

Welcome to Peak A View Farm & Camp where Rest and Relaxation are a Reality! Come enjoy the beautiful landscape of the western mountains in Ashe County, NC on ninety acres of farmland and forest surrounded by mountain peaks, the New River and breathtaking sunsets. On the drive in, to the southeast you can see Peak Mountain for which the property was named. The mountain is part of the New River State Park and is known for its scenic river views and hiking trails.
Two RV buddy campsites are available on the property. Campsite #1 was originally created for our personal use. Campsite #2, so our fellow camping buddies could join us. Although a short drive from our homes, the serenity of the property always makes us feel as if we’ve travelled many miles. Campsites are laid out in an ‘L’ shape which creates the perfect group camping experience. Guests can choose to camp alone or invite others. Campsite 1 and 2 are reserved together as one booking due to the close proximity of the sites.
The property is secluded, but easily accessible. Campsites are full hookups which include water, sewer and 50 amp electric. Both sites can accommodate any size RV. They are gravel and level which makes getting set up easy. A 30 x 30 shelter with concrete floor, lights, picnic tables and trash bin is nearby, which is a great asset in any weather. A fire pit and chairs are a nice addition for evening enjoyment. Firewood is provided. WiFi is available.
The area is pet friendly. Pets can be off leash, however, you might consider leashing your pet, as wildlife is frequently seen. If your furry friend is anything like our dogs, the chase is on when a deer, squirrel or turkey makes a sudden appearance!
During your stay, take a 7/10 mile walk down to the New River. Pull up one of the chairs on the small covered deck overlooking the river, sit back and take in the sounds of the calming waters. Watch floaters, kayakers and canoe navigators pass by or enjoy your own floating, fishing and swimming. On the other side of the river is part of the New River State Park.
A 15 minute drive will take you to downtown West Jefferson for restaurants and shopping. Visit the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce online or downtown for information on our county’s many attractions and events.

Welcome!
Fall is in full effect! Leaves are peaking! 10/15/26
Our farm is vast and sparse,
focusing on sustainability while giving back to the community. We are a safe haven for animals and humans alike.
Situated on and between two peaks of Little Phoenix Mountain range in Jefferson Ashe County. Our sites’ altitudes range from 3100 feet to over 3600 feet, which is a lot of slope and hillside to say the least. As a guest you will be offered insane long views and wildflowers galore. Located in the Blue Ridge mountains, we have natural water springs popping out, some of which are tapped to drink from. (10.1.25 currently farm springs are not accessible to guests, shatley springs up the road approx 4miles north has a public spring that we highly recommend)
If you are looking for a camping spot that is only 5-10 minutes from town (Jefferson NC or the quaint Downtown West Jefferson) but feels like you're in the middle of no where, then we have it!
The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 20 minutes away and the New River equally close.

The climb up sunrise mountain is bumpy, be warned, and do adhere to the conversation and guidance of the host on the call or in person meeting preclimb. Even though the section titled “the climb” is passed each and every visit by capable awdr and 4wdr vehicles, this does not mean everyone is capable of picking a thought out path. Thankfully everyone of our guest have been wonderful in the over 8 years with zero damage to their vehicles. MSG for more info.
*firewood is available if you pay on site you will have to use Venmo/Paypal
*We do not allow any harvesting of campfire wood or burning of our property outside of the designated fire ring. We use any downed wood on our property for our family to keep warm and to cut and split ourselves to sell to our guest. A “full nights worth” of campfire wood is roughly a 3 x 2 stacked pile of wood keeping you warm all night. Please let us know ahead so we can prepare it for you

What an unexpected, hidden gem! I didn't realize that we had booked our own private campsite on top of a mountain surrounded by mountain views. Nestled between a cornfield and on old forest were 2 RV sites - One for us- and the other RV site for friends- so we’ll keep that in mind for the future. It’s a buy one get one free site- so you have the whole place to yourself or bring a friend with a 2nd RV. There’s no bath house or restroom- but there’s a large, beautiful shelter with a concrete floor, picnic tables and 2 large comfortable chairs. Up on the high top in the well packed gravel clearing is a handsome fire pit, with free, chopped wood and 2 Adirondack chairs. The grounds are well maintained. We hoped to arrive by 5pm- but we didn’t arrive until close to 10pm. Steve and Penny were so kind and accommodating. Steve met us at the site at 9:45pm to give us an overview of the grounds.
There’s a 7/10 of a mile hike through an enchanting old forest down to a private lookout over the New River, and the opportunity to grill. We LOVED Peak A View! The peace and privacy is unrivaled. It’s unlike any place we’ve ever stayed, and we look forward to camping here again in the future.

Another great stay at the Rivers Edge Trail camp. Have stayed here multiple times and really enjoy the views and the easy process. Have met some really nice people along the way as well. Highly recommend!

It was a beautiful site! The view of the river and mountains would make an awesome panoramic jigsaw puzzle. Only 6 RV sites, each with electric, water, and sewer. Sites are large and gravel paved. No showers or bathrooms other than what you bring with you. No Wi-Fi and no apparent trash facility. (Not deal killers for me.) It is off the beaten path, but easy enough to find if you follow the yellow signs and take it slow.

We enjoyed the location as it was close to areas we were visiting. The views were spectacular and the sound set was absolutely beautiful!!

Great location with beautiful campsites right along the river! The fire pit placement was a little unusual, with some positioned a bit too close to neighboring sites. That said, the owners were very receptive to feedback and seem genuinely committed to continually improving the campground. Looking forward to seeing how the place evolves!

We loved camping here! Such a beautiful view for sunsets and even the fog in the morning was beautiful. We’ll be putting this on our list of places to return.

From the moment we arrived it was absolutely wonderful. Our host met us the gate. The directions to get there were phenomenal, She had a fresh cut flower bouquet on our picnic table. Everything was as pictured and as stated. It’s always nice to not to have any bad surprises when you’re camping. Everything worked really well the electricity, the water the sewer. It was all 100% up to par. The grounds were gorgeous. I highly recommend you checking this Hip Camp out if you’re in the area.

I hesitate to share this because I’d love to keep them a secret! 😆 Penny & Steve are WONDERFUL! Super quick responses and accommodating! The property is beautiful with a Mtn view, deer and turkeys roaming around, a stone fire pit for evening star gazing and a gorgeous trail to the river! This is our favorite HipCamp property ever …no competition!!

The hosts were both very welcoming. If I needed anything to contact them. Both sites; upper and lower were very well maintained. The sites are spaced far enough apart from each-other. Lots of room to walk your dogs. If you need a cell signal walk up the hill to the right of the upper site. But who wants to look at the phone with such a gorgeous campsite 😀

Outstanding double campsites with amazing privacy on top of a mountain. Can accommodate any size rigs, although the road in has some tight hairpin turns. Landscaping/site pads/utilities were all immaculate and showed much care and attention. Beautiful hiking trails, benches, water features, and a gazebo. Starlink worked perfectly. Owners were nice and accommodating - a strong storm blew through right after setting up and they made sure we were ok and didnt need anything.
One of the best campsites in NC/VA we've ever been to. Note - while seclusion is part of the allure here, its a solid 30 minute drive to get to most anything else. Stock up before you arrive and relax!
