Stories from the community

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Paddlers Campground was exceptional. Easy to make reservations to following GPS directions to arrive there. The off-grid primitive camping is nice and private with a table and fire pit provided at each spacey spot on the creek side bank. Ample space to play badminton, football, etc or rent kayaks or floats and enjoy crystal clear water flowing to New River. We fell asleep listening to fox bark and owls hooting and woke up to a large buck with many point antlers standing close by to our spot. The owners are fantastic at keeping the grounds clean and very outgoing and personable. This has become our number one day trip and hopefully we can schedule more overnights. Love it!

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

Beautiful area. Easy to access. The creek was fun to play in. Lots of dogs. (I wish mine was Friendlier) the music was awesome! #Brokenhalosband Everyone was so friendly!

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Very sweet and charming spot right off the AT. The town of Bluemont is adorable. The campgrounds were lovely. The hikes nearby were 10/10. Bonus: dog-friendly, free firewood, and the Bear's Den hostel which hosts many AT hikers was alive and welcoming. There is Bear Chase brewing right down the street (3 minute drive, maybe 15 minute walk), which was our backup when the rain made it impossible for us to start a fire and cook dinner. The four campsite area pretty close to one another, so it's important to be mindful of your neighbors and mind quiet hours.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Me and my brothers decided to take our first camping trip and chose this wonderful gem.! The hospitality is amazing and owners were great. Although it was just a day it was well worth it. Can’t wait to go back

1 night at Hippie Hollow

Beautiful land/creek. Outdoor kitchen is a cool addition. Jeremy super welcoming and friendly. Great stay!

1 night at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

We loved this riverside camping spot! The covered area with ping pong table was a perfect outdoor activity on the evening ofniur rainy arrival. Thankfully, the next morning, the sky was clear so our family enjoyed playing in the clear river waters searching for crawdads. The hosts were gracious and friendly and the bathhouse was clean. The full hookups were great. We look forward to returning!

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

This was our 2nd time trip.It was fabulous to stay at Bear den and visited brewery near by which is an added treat for us.

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Our stay at Paddler’s was amazing. We will definitely return!

3 nights at Hippie Hollow

Camping by the creek makes for an awesome weekend. Jeremy and his dog, Dansby were wonderful host. Very relaxing just putting your chair in the creek and spending the day.

Weekend Trip to Traveler's Meadow

My husband and I enjoyed our time in Broadway. High Knob was as described. Apa came to visit for a while. The bathhouse was clean and accessible. We were happy to see that our host provided an assortment of amenities for the lite travelers. Thank you Nathan for your hospitality.

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Had a great experience at Bear’s Den. Very spacious with lots of nature around. Easy access to hiking trails, a magnificent overlook, and conveniently located near wineries and breweries. I probably could have been more prepared in coordinating my travel, however whenever we tracked down all the amenities we had an overall phenomenal experience.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Awesome spot by the river. The host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

I really enjoyed camping here at the campgrounds. Though the grounds were packed, there was plenty privacy. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. This site, in particular is right beside the stream. Under the night sky, it’s truly lovely to look up at the stars with the noise of the water in the background. I would come again, without a doubt.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Weekend Trip to South River Farm

Very beautiful piece of land. Could use some more signs to navigate to the sites easier. Portapotties were very clean. Yurt was nice and clean. Sean was very communicative and helpful. Warning that the trains are VERY loud… went by twice in the middle of the night. Other than that we loved it and will be back!

3 nights at Traveler's Meadow

Glamping at Kennedy Peak was great! Nathan was super helpful and accommodating, even though we reached out to him an hour before we needed the reservation. Nathan's land is on an uphill incline, although the Kennedy Peak plot was level. I was able to level my trailer, and the adjacent plots appeared to be level as well. The grounds were very quiet. A delightful feature was the presence of a large, frienfly family of friendly ducks.

3 nights at Hippie Hollow

We had a great experience at Hippie Hollow! We stayed in a pop up camper and had a great time! It’s a spacious camper near the restrooms which is super convenient. Nice restroom and shower, nothing big but definitely enough. The property and creek is absolutely beautiful. We loved getting to experience the ‘Why not Wednesday’ live music by the creek. Our kids, 9 and 10, had a great time swimming, running around, playing with the cats, and even some fishing. Jeremy was super friendly and accommodating as were the other campers. It’s a great little community camp spot. 10 out of 10 recommend!

2 nights at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Fritz and Valerie were great hosts and we enjoyed our time with our teardrop camper at site #14. The facilities were clean and the property was very nice! Close access to the river was a big bonus. We plan to return very soon!

In a remote valley just north of Roanoke VA, along the banks of Craig's Creek, the property includes mature hardwood forest, pasture, and an 1830s log cabin where we live. We love to share this special place with visitors, and have some basic amenities for campers. The campsites are at the edge of a large pasture and just a few steps from the creek and our big swimmin' hole. Totally secluded in a remote valley - barely a house in sight (but our cabin is a short walk through the woods if you need something), no cell service for most providers, but within a short drive of Roanoke and Blacksburg, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.

Feel the hug of the mountains throughout your stay, while also having access to Blacksburg nearby should you need it. DIRECTIONS: Upon entry the gravel road is shared with my neighbor and it is about 1.5 miles from the entry gate to the site. You'll enter thru a gate (it may be closed, if closed please close behind you as my neighbor sometimes has cows). Go approx 1 mile the road will split...go up the hill on the right. Continue past the Hay barn another half mile. Park on the left side of the gravel road along the tree line. Another 50ft you'll see a wood foot bridge across the creek. The sites are ahead, PawPaw is first, then Bloodroot Base Camp (bell tent), and lastly Cohosh Cove is the most private.

As your Host, I am passionate about conservation and also teaching people about the medicinal uses of our local herbs. I can lead medicinal herb walks upon request for $25 a person. I typically try to meet the campers if I can upon arrival, I am available for questions and can be hands on or off as the needs of campers suggest. I have had campers ask if I wanted to share a beverage and sit around the fire and have done so. I want to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. I love the peacefulness the property offers, and that you’re in the middle of the wilderness but also have quick access to things in town. The river campsites are my favorite part of the property. At the main cabin I have goats and chickens which hipcampers are more than welcome to greet. About the listing Pitch your tents at the campsite nestled along the side of the mountain on the banks of the North Fork of the Roanoke River.

Campers will have access to a private composting toilet, fire pit, and picnic table. We offer two different campsites on the property, so note that you may see or hear other campers on the grounds during your stay.

2nd40 to 420 - The Farm

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents39 acres · Pamplin, VA

The Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents. They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm. My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a tree in your yard meant that you had "made it". They decided to use the land to grow Christmas Trees. This did not last long :) - but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall! Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here. My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp. We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants! In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted. We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options. We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future. Come join us in Growing our Dreams! Learn more about this land: Large farm with acres for tent camping. 2 RVs on site - available for rental - able to pull in RV's420 friendly - bed & breakfast options available.

Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. Bateau boats pass by both campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are manned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting. Go by a local store and buy night crawlers,worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something .

Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Pitch your tent on the beach or under the trees if you prefer some shade. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night.

Camping in Virginia guide

Overview

Whether you want to dive into Civil War history, follow in the footsteps of former presidents, or drive the legendary Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia rarely disappoints. The birthplace of America has thousands of miles of Atlantic coastline and more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state. Still need convincing? Virginia’s 41 state parks boast more than 600 miles of trails and 1,800 state campsites, leading the way to forested mountains, rambling rivers, and beaches. Camping is a year-round affair, whether you prefer fall foliage hikes, pitching a tent on the beach, or snowshoeing from a cozy winter cabin.

Where to go

Central Virginia

Gleaming lakes and pine-clad foothills characterize the central Piedmont region, known for its lakeside camping, canoe and kayak trails, and Civil War sites. Pocahontas State Park is just a half-hour drive from the state capital, Richmond, where multi-use trails are popular for biking and horseback riding. Also within a short drive, Bear Creek Lake State Park offers easy access to Cumberland State Forest trails, while James River State Park has RV, tent, and canoe-in campsites.

Atlantic Coast & Chesapeake Bay

Wide beaches and fishing villages pepper the coast of Chesapeake Bay, Virginia’s top choice for beach lovers. You can pitch your tent right on the beach at First Landing State Park and False Cape State Park, camp on the grounds of Chippokes Plantation State Park, or get on the water at York River State Park.

Shenandoah Valley & The North

The dense woodlands are the star attraction in Shenandoah National Park and along its renowned Skyline Drive. The closest state campgrounds can be found in Shenandoah River State Park, a popular spot for summer hiking, canoeing, and picnicking, while further south, Douthat State Park has a swimming beach, waterfall hikes, and mountain biking trails.

Appalachian & Blue Ridge Mountains

The rugged Appalachian Mountains fringe Virginia’s southwestern borders, merging into the wooded slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Grayson Highlands State Park is the gateway to the region’s two most popular hikes: the Appalachian Trail and Mount Rogers. Alternatively, paddle the scenic waterways of New River Trail State Park, book a cabin in the woods in Hungry Mother State Park, or escape the crowds at Clinch River State Park.
