Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

We have stayed at two of the campsites now & will continue to come back until we have been to them all! It’s a beautiful property with wonderful hosts- GREAT FOR FAMILIES. We absolutely love it. Would recommend to anyone!

Weekend Trip to Camp Faith

Camp Faith is amazing. Darren, the owner, is such a nice guy. He really cares about this place and it shows. You’ll see him around taking care of things and making sure everyone’s comfortable. We stayed at Site #16 right next to a small waterfall. The water sound was so relaxing. We slept great. The site was clean and well set up with good privacy. Darren works really hard and is super friendly. He’s exactly the kind of host you want when you’re camping. We’re definitely coming back and want to try Site #10 next time. If you want a quiet, peaceful place to camp with a host who actually cares, this is it. Camp Faith is a really special place and Darren makes it even better.

Weekend Trip to Camp Faith

We stayed in the mountain top cabin and loved it. The cabin itself had everything we needed. We cooked all our meals there and only needed to bring the food. The view of the lake and the sunrise in the morning was spectacular. Tons of games in and outside the cabin to entertain. The deck with the fire pit was great. The driveway to get up there was intense but no problem for my Subaru. Clear directions and communication with the owner.

3 nights at Babbling Brook Campground

We had a great time. It was such a beautiful and relaxing setting - just what we needed to unplug and connect for a long weekend. Elizabeth was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. Our 2.5 year old son had so much fun splashing in the river and visiting with the farm animals. Would totally recommend!!

3 nights at Peak A View Farm & Camp

This is THE spot! We will definitely be returning. Highly recommend!! It is hard to come across a spot with full hook ups without being at a busy campground so finding this spot was really nice. We spent all weekend down by the river fishing and floating in some rafts. It is a really peaceful & beautiful spot.

2 nights at Babbling Brook Campground

We enjoyed our stay here, the campground and bathroom were clean, the location was great and the host were very nice and friendly.

2 nights at joyville, camping site on elk creek

This place is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by Dianne, she’s incredibly kind, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about her guests. She made sure we had everything we needed and even checked in on us during our stay to ensure we were comfortable. The location itself is stunning, peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a getaway. My husband, friends and I had an unforgettable time camping under the stars, swimming in the refreshing creek, river tubing, and grilling. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. If you’re looking for a place to unwind, reconnect with nature, and be hosted by someone who truly goes above and beyond, this is it. We will definitely be back! Thank you so much Gary and Dinanne for sharing your piece of paradise.

5 nights at Romantic, hot tub, pet friendly

Absolutely wonderful. Great central location. Wonderful view. And all the beautiful little touches added by the the host made this a lovely little getaway. Truly a gem! Host very responsive and helpful.

4 nights at Peak A View Farm & Camp

Steve and Penny were great host and they own a peice of property that we would love to have. Theywere very responsive and asked us to call if we had any questions. Very few campsites allow you to invite friends and your group is the only ones there. They have an awesome spot on the river to swim or fish but bring your hiking boots it's a trek. The best part of the campsite was the giant overhand with power and lights allowing to socialize with your friends through out the day and way into the night. It is also an awesome shelter to get out of the weather rain or shine. This site is definitely getting put into my favorites on hipcamp.

2 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat

We had a wonderful time! Everything was beautiful inside and out. A magical experience!

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook Campground

This little haven was exactly what we were hoping for this trip - immersion in the outdoors with a few more amenities than just plain camping. Elizabeth’s place was so thoughtfully and creatively designed, and it truly was peaceful. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

Great little spot with 3 different sites. We stayed at site 2 which has a parking spot/tent spot, shelter with picnic table/chairs and fire pit. Each site has its own fire pit and a shelter which is really nice. The hosts are fantastic and greet you as you come in. They have fire wood and a very clean porta potty bathroom on site. The driveway looks rough but my small hatchback made it across the bridge and down the gravel lot. It's a short driveway just be aware of mud spots when it rains. We definitely are coming back as this was one of the best locations, safe and had just about everything we needed. Thank you Garry & Dianne!

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

Site 2 with the deck was perfect! Great access to river / swimming hole, nice private area for fire, outlet on deck, and plenty of chairs. Stars are amazing on a clear night, and sleeping with the sounds of the creek was very relaxing.

3 nights at Spacious Skies Bear Den - RV/Tent Sites

Great area to camp! The staff are friendly and helpful. The arcade is a neat bonus and the fishing was fun.

4 nights at Outercamp, Blue Ridge Falls Retreat

I recently stayed at Geri’s Creekside Yurt, it was such a magical experience. The yurt was super private and secluded, with the creek just about 20 feet away. The walkway to the yurt was also really accessible, almost stroller-friendly, compared to other areas that had more steps. Inside, they provided both a fan and heating, making it comfortable no matter the weather. There were also plenty of board games, books, and other games for entertainment. They had so much thought into all of the essentials provided we almost felt we overpacked! The attention to detail was amazing. Everything was thoughtfully labeled, making it easy to find your way around. Even the outhouse, which I was initially worried about, turned out to be no issue at all. The interior design was also so warming and beautiful to enjoy, even the linens and towels were thoughtfully chosen. Overall, it’s clear that so much thought and care went into creating this peaceful space, highly recommend this beautiful retreat :)

1 night at The Human Spirit

Beautiful location. The views are spectacular. Private and very quiet.

1 night at The Human Spirit

Beautiful setting with great views. So quiet, all we could hear were the birds. Had a great time hiking and just relaxing in nature. Highly recommend.

3 nights at TangleWood Creekside Campsites

Very well set up sites, dogs loved the creek, convenient to Linville Gorge, and Mountain to Sea trails.

2 nights at The Human Spirit

Beautiful views from a very private spot. Instructions very clear and easy to follow.

1 night at NEW RIVER REDEMPTION

Amy’s place is fantastic! Right on the river and it has everything you need. I just wish we had more time to explore the area, will get to that next time we visit! Amy is a great host!!!
