Natural Bridge Station, VA · 25 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space.
Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. Most of the buildings out front are artist studios (currently for 16 artists). We like to share the camp with others and watch it come back to life.
All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky.
We want to share our property with those who want to stay for more than one night, so we do not accept inquiries of single night stays. We also don't offer longterm rentals as we focus on short term camping.

The oral history of Coal Mine Hollow has it that a moonshine still once graced the banks of Camp Cedar Creek. It was run by a recluse, who was always on the move from the Revenuers. A revenuer went missing along Cedar Creek one moonlit night, never to be seen again.
The bearded recluse who ran the still, owned two mules, and an old car frame without a motor. Those mules would pull him through the hollow, and up into the mountains, where the revenuers never found him. Some say on a cold, moonlit night, they’ve seen his two old mules, pulling an old car frame past Camp Cedar Creek.

Madison, VA · 2 sites
Welcome to our Hipcamp in Madison, Virginia—a quiet, scenic spot designed for those who want to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. Both sites are located in a lower field, intentionally spaced to feel like separate private retreats, giving you room to unwind while staying connected to the natural surroundings.
Each site includes a simple, thoughtfully built deck structure with a roof, offering a bit of shelter while still keeping you close to the elements. (Please note: camping gear such as tents and sleeping equipment is not provided.) There is also plenty of space if you prefer to camp directly on the ground. Solar lights provide a soft glow in the evenings, and hammock hooks are available for relaxing among the trees.
This property is also part of how we’re raising our sons, Ryker and Crew. They help maintain the sites and care for the land—learning the value of hard work, responsibility, and how to interact thoughtfully with guests. If you stay with us, you may see them around or be greeted when you arrive. Your visit helps give them real opportunities to build confidence, develop social skills, and take pride in meaningful work.
Firewood is available on-site for purchase from a local friend (cash or Venmo), making it easy to enjoy a campfire during your stay. Please note that parties or additional unregistered guests are not permitted under any circumstances. You will be immediately asked to leave and additional fines will apply.
The property is shaped by two beautiful waterways—the Robinson River and White Oak Run—which meet nearby and create a peaceful, ever-changing landscape. Fishing is allowed with a valid Virginia fishing license; you may have better luck exploring upstream or downstream, as water depth near the sites is often around 2–3 feet.
Wildlife is abundant here, making it a great place for birdwatching, photography, or simply observing nature. Hunting is not permitted, helping preserve a safe environment for the animals that call this land home.
Kayaking is best in the spring when water levels average at least 2.75 feet. During drier summer months, the river becomes shallow <1', especially near the campsites.
We hope your time here offers a chance to rest, reconnect, and experience the beauty of the land.

The property includes a very small creek, several ravines, ridge lines and trails to explore.

The thing people seem to enjoy most is the privacy and and quiet that allows you to connect with nature. Each of the 3 sites is hundreds of yards apart. Note: there is no bathroom on the premises, however you can book a toilet tent as an extra. 4 Wheel Drive or All wheel drive are helpful during the winter months, or if there has been a lot of rain or snow/ice.
Things to watch out for are deer ticks and poison ivy. Campers are expected to leave the site neat and take all their trash with them.
We are located about 5 minutes from I-81 or 15 minutes from I-77 making it an easy place to stop when passing through on your way to other adventures.

Fairlawn Riverfront is a private conservation-zoned property located along the New River in the Fairlawn neighborhood of Radford, Virginia. We are the stewards of approximately 700 feet of river frontage and this recovering riparian corridor. Wildlife viewing, fishing, tubing, hiking, and peaceful riverside relaxation will fill your days here.
We offer a handful of spacious campsites with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature. Each site will have a table and chairs, a fire ring, a flat area, sun and shade, and views of the New River. Guests also have shared access to The Lawn with its river access, tables, communal fire pit, footpaths, woodland play area, port-a-john, and parking.
Thanks to our ongoing efforts to "Garden for Wildlife," deer, heron, osprey, songbirds, fox, rabbits, waterfowl, and other wildlife are commonly seen throughout the property.
The property is minutes from Radford, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Virginia Tech, and Radford University, making it a convenient basecamp for exploring the New River Valley while still feeling private and secluded.
Fairlawn Riverfront is an active conservation project where native habitat is being restored through invasive species removal, native plantings, and ongoing stewardship efforts. Every reservation helps support the continued restoration and protection of this unique stretch of the New River. If you're looking for a quiet riverfront experience, beautiful sunsets, abundant wildlife, and a place to slow down and reconnect with nature, Fairlawn Riverfront is for you.
We set up and reconfigure spaces for visitors as needed. Photos of sites show the sites "naked" (as they are whenever not in use), but each site gets set up prior to guest arrival. Although we have designated 6 sites to allow guests options, we rarely allow all sites to be in use at the same time. If something doesn't suit your needs, contact us to talk through your request. We are pretty flexible.
We are handicap accessible, and the port-a-john is ADA-compliant. We have two sites where vehicles are permitted to drive into the campsite (with host approval); one site is fully wheelchair friendly. The host can help transport equipment to and from your site if your mobility is impaired—please let the host know if you need extra help.

You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed.
You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well.
We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest.
Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here.

The site was well maintained as usual! We didn’t stay the night because it was really hot and my dog wasn’t doing well, but we regretted leaving. This is a great site and property, highly recommended!

We had so much fun camping on Kelly’s land! Exactly as described and the river was so clear and refreshing. Kids and dogs were all exhausted by end of day running, exploring and playing in the river. We had a superb view of the fireworks and will definitely come back again. Plenty of parking. Flat and smooth we didn’t encounter any rocks while sleeping. So happy to have been able to find this gem :)

This is our regular go to spot for a great beer and great people. Como for the win!
We contemplated coming out this year because of the 102 degree heat. But I am sooo glad we did, the firework show was the best I have ever seen. Although we didn’t stay overnight at the campground because of the heat we will definitely do this again next year. Rain or shine.
Good job so rev!
Your friendly neighborhood regulars.

Had a great time! Ian was a great host and responded quickly if needed firewood or anything. Daughters loved visiting the Guinea fowls. The Guineas would come visit the camp site in the evening. The house was very cool and comfortable! Thanks!

Happy to come back to this spot. Campsites are quiet and well kept by respectful landowner. Get used to coming back to this camp because you'll get hooked.

Site 2 was better than photos depicted—it was spacious, clean and inviting. Access to the river was beautiful and somewhat nostalgic. My siblings and I spent a couple hours just reading and taking in the open spaces. Would highly recommend.

We had a great time at the tree house! Our three kids are already asking to go back. Ian was responsive and helpful with anything that came up. Haven beach was so close and the perfect family beach, especially for littles. The swings under the treehouse were a huge hit. When we go back we’ll add an extra rechargeable fan and folding table to the packing list. They’re provided, we just wanted one more of each. Looking forward to another trip sooner than later!

First time here, and it was FANTASTIC--so peaceful, private, and Sheridan, via phone calls and texts, was a wonderful host -- accessible both times I needed her when unsure about directions (my fault not hers). One of the top hipcamps I've been to, and will definitely go again.

Enjoyed our stay. We were looking for somewhere close to Natural Bridge and Devils Marble Yard. Can’t really beat the exact middle. Facilities were clean as expected. Cabin was as described. Recommended to our friends already.

Great flat grassy camping area. Kelly and family were more than great welcoming hosts! Would definitely stay here again. Easy paddle up access for boaters right along the New River. A ton of parking available also for drive in camping.
