Come camp with us on our peaceful working farm near Smith Mountain Lake! This is a true primitive camping experience—perfect for those looking to unplug, slow down, and enjoy the simple beauty of rural life. You’ll be staying on open farmland surrounded by rolling views, fresh air, and the sounds of nature. Our farm is home to Highland cows, sheep, chickens, and other friendly animals you’re welcome to observe during your stay (they’re a guest favorite!). In late summer, we grow seasonal vegetables and flowers right here on the property, and we’re happy to share what’s available when in season—there’s nothing quite like enjoying food and blooms straight from the farm. Please note: this is a primitive site with no hookups or amenities, so you’ll need to bring all your own camping gear and supplies. It’s a great fit for self-sufficient campers who appreciate a quiet, low-key setting. We’re just a short drive from Smith Mountain Lake if you’d like to explore the water, but many guests find they’re happiest staying put—relaxing by the campfire, stargazing, and soaking in the calm of the countryside.

While not exactly super private in the traditional camping sense, I enjoyed myself. Fletcher was very nice and the site had everything as described, level ground, down by the river, 50amp power, it was nice. The train coming through at night was a bit loud from a tent but likely not so prominent if in a camper. Would do it again though.

Weekend Trip to Stoney Creek Campground

I was in the area for Ignite! Men's Conference at Liberty University. I didn't want to stay in a hotel in town or an Airbnb. I wanted to take "Itty Bitty" (my little travel trailer) to a nice place outside of the city and enjoy a little bit of camp life in the evenings. One evening, it was late when I got to the camp, and I had to be up early. The second night was cold and windy, so I took the truck to a nearby off-road trail. I didn't really get to enjoy sitting by a campfire, but this Hipcamp was still just right for my needs. It was peaceful and had everything I needed.

We arrived at Stoney Creek which is part Shenandoah valley not long after a snowfall which was followed by rain which froze as the temperature dropped to the low 20s. Roads in this secluded area were not fully plowed so we were happy to settle down for the evening and get cozy in our minivan camper. Chris, our host , was very helpful, making sure all went well with us . The bathroom has a shower, a washer and dryer and best of all, heat ! There's a gas station/convience store just down the street. There was phone service (T-Mobile) along with Internet which is rare in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. Chris, our host, lives close by and was extremely accommodating. We hope to visit again in warmer weather because the area is breathtakingly beautiful with magnificent vistas of mountain peaks and expansive valleys.
