Stories from the community

2 nights at Starry Nights New River Gorge

The land was very beautiful and private. Brian was very nice and helped us find the site, made sure we could get the car back out, and suggested some close hiking spots. It was a little tricky to find the camping spot just make sure you drive slow in the field and really look for the red horseshoes. Also, make sure your car can do talk grass and mud. We had a great time with our dog.

1 night at 100 Acre Wood

I need a poet to describe how wonderful David’s land is. The views on top are amazing. Everything was set up on arrival.

Weekend Trip to Camp The New River, Blacksburg, VA

Beautiful, serene spot with tons of wildlife and great fishing. The amenities were more than expected, making the stay super comfortable. We even received a refund due to bad weather on our last day — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. Highly recommend for a relaxing nature escape while still being close enough to town!

Weekend Trip to 100 Acre Wood

We can reconfirm what others have said: One of the best Hipcamp sites we have experienced! David has staked out a beautiful slice of Heaven in the rolling hills of the 100 Acre Woods. So do take the tour if offered! Each unique site is spacious, clean and very private. And we had no trouble towing our small camper up the hill to Bruington Meadow with a 4wd Outback. Cell service (Verizon) at the site was decent. And though there are many, many, many amazing roads to explore, we enjoyed just sitting by the fire and enjoying the view. We'll save the roads for our next trip back here. Which we hope is soon!

3 nights at Starry Nights New River Gorge

The site was very private and quiet. The drive to the site was steep and included one lane roads (all paved) with sharp curves and switchbacks - took approximately 15-20 minutes from the bottom of the mtn to the site. Having an outhouse was a bonus, but we did have to do some cleaning before we used it.

1 night at 100 Acre Wood

Beautiful spot with a great host. Fantastic views and very private. Can’t wait to get back there again.

1 night at Hippie Hollow

Location is very convenient to town and a local park with trails. The sound of the stream was very soothing to sleep by. It’s a small area and is close to the road, so traffic can be heard. Fortunately, the sound of the stream drowns out most of it. Jeremy is very friendly and accommodating.

2 nights at James River Depot

Very lovely camp! Although we had neighbors, there was a very private feel to it all. Be carful of wildlife if driving at night! Our host was wonderful but mostly hands off. 10/10 would recommend.

1 night at Crooked Mountain

I had a great creek side spot that I really enjoyed. The creek sang me to sleep! Great family owned & operated campgrounds perfect for motorcycle camping

2 nights at Why B Square mountain yurt rentals

We LOVED Erika’s yurt! It was so cozy and wayy nicer than any other yurt I’ve ever stayed in. It had all the amenities and Erika was incredible responsive and helpful. The area is beautiful and Floyd is a cute little town. The only problem is, now I want a yurt of my own!

1 night at Hippie Hollow

This place is a gem! Jeremy was very hospitable, accommodating and made us feel at home. We stayed in the back by the creek and loved the sound of the water and enjoyed all the birds and deer in the distance. We’ll be back!

Weekend Trip to Camping in the shade on the river

Terry’s place was just what we needed! It’s beautiful, quiet, and set up perfect for whatever you need. Very peaceful! Our camper is 21’ and we had plenty of space, multiple options. The covered pavilion is an added bonus, and the campfire setup is perfect! We will definitely return!

1 night at Camp The New River, Blacksburg, VA

The site was beautiful, amenities were well provided, and hosts were great. That all and how real close it is to campus, it was quite a gem!

Weekend Trip to James River Depot

We loved this campground. Big, private sites next to a beautiful river. Very quiet, except for the train! We will definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to The River's Edge

We had an amazing stay at Renee’s campsite! The location was perfect — right next to the water with beautiful views and the relaxing sounds of nature all around. It was the perfect getaway, and even better that we could bring our pet along to enjoy it with us. The site was peaceful, well-maintained, and exactly what we were hoping for. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Crooked Mountain

Awesome spot to camp! We were in spot five and it’s right next to the creek which has such great gentle white noise all night long. We loved turning over a few rocks looking for crawdads. The bathrooms were close and clean! Store is packed with essentials and the staff is so friendly. Great place. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Jessup Mill

Beautiful tent camping site convenient to Hanging Rick and Pilot Mountain. Mattew is a great host - crystal clear directions to the site, Two thumbs up. Thank you Matthew

Weekend Trip to Savage Acres on Craig Creek

The creekside site was beautiful! It was exactly what we were looking for with one exception: fellow campers. This property also has tent camping sites in the meadow above where our campsite was and we were plagued with super noisy campers late into the night. Everything else was amazing, gorgeous trails, rock walls, and a very enjoyable experience overall, just know that it's not quite as isolated as it seems.

Weekend Trip to 100 Acre Wood

David was a great host. It is a beautiful piece of land with some great campsites. David gave us a tour of the property and showed us around. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing place to camp!

Weekend Trip to James River Depot

The campsites are spacious and right on the river! We had Site 1 and felt like we had the whole campground to ourselves even though it was full since the sites are spaced pretty far apart. Wendy was a great and responsive host. The port a potty was very clean. The campground was only a five minute drive from the Natural Bridge and a fifteen minute drive to a great hike at the Belfast Trail to the Devil's Marbleyard (90 minute round trip hike). It was one of our favorite campgrounds we have ever been to.

Country Meadows

1 site · RV4 acres · Meadows Of Dan, VA

Located less than a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this little hayfield is nestled just a skip away from Mabry Mill (the most photographed spot on the parkway), Villa Appalachia (quant Italian style winery), Chateau Morrisette (larger tourist winery), Nancy's Fudge (a little candy factory and shop), and hiking trails of varying lengths with epic views (Black Ridge Trail and Rock Castle Gorge Trail). Each of these is under 5 miles from our camp spot. Yet, if you are also hoping to hop out of your camper and WALK somewhere, there is a hike that leads you directly up to Chateau Morissette. The property itself is a hayfield that typically has a couple of cuttings each summer. There just happens to be a full hook up campsite located at the edge of the property that someone should be enjoying. The property owner (my dad, who is in his mid 70s and doesn't internet so well) lives in a log home that is across the field on the adjacent property. He is probably going to stop by to say hi. He is a pretty friendly guy. Learn more about this land: Set atop a hillside overlooking a hayfield, this camper/motor home spot includes internet, 50 AMP, water & sewer hookups. The location offers a covered pull thru carport style parking space as well as a porch swing and pergola with a picnic table.

Jessup Mill

6 sites · RVs, Tents20 acres · Westfield, NC

Hi there. Here is a little rundown of everything we do at the mill…. So, as far as camping, there are two main options on either side of the river; the mill yard or primitive camping across the river. In the mill yard, we do festival style camping, meaning that there are no individual campsites per se, but rather a large grassy lawn near the mill and bathhouse with shared fire pits, picnic tables, charcoal grill, and sinks for water/dishes. We also have two platforms up in the woods that are good for a little more privacy and are completely shaded, but do require a small climb up the hill. The bathhouse has three restrooms and hot showers in each. Across the river, there are several more primitive sites that are generally very private and offer great sounds coming from the river and waterfall, but no facilities. Most sites are car accessible, and a 5 minute walk back over to the mill (or a 1 minute drive). Lastly, our newest camping spot on the primitive side is a river front beach right by the dam with space for a several medium sized tents and a private fire pit. The beach is hike-in only (2-3 minutes along a mostly flat trail). Our normal rate is $10 per person per night. Firewood is available for $10 per wheelbarrow load. We accept cash, credit card, Venmo, Paypal, and crypto. We are also fairly flexible on check in/check out times, but just let us know if you’ll be arriving at odd hours. Dogs are generally welcome as long as they are kept on leash. Here is a little rundown of tubing at the mill (May-October, weather permitting). We have two tubing options available. We have a short Fun Run that takes roughly 45 minutes, and cost $10 per person for as many rides as you’d like. The river bends sharply like a horseshoe in this section, so it makes everything accessible by foot traffic. It’s a 3 minute walk up the trail to the dam, put in and float 30-45 minutes (depending on water level), then a 5-10 minute walk back to the mill carrying your tube. There is also the longer Forks Run, which last 3-4 hours (~2.5 river miles), and costs $15. For this, we shuttle you up the river in a vehicle, and you float back to the top of the dam, then 3 minutes walking back to the mill. Most weekends, tubing starts at 11 am and the last Forks Shuttle is around 3 pm, with the Fun Run staying open till around 5. Also, with enough heads up, we can sometimes arrange for trips during the week. Our tubes are required for each person floating for insurance and liability reasons, but you are welcome to bring your own cooler tubes to carry drinks and snacks. Technically, alcohol is not permitted on the river, but what is in your cooler is your business. Either way, please bring ALL trash out with you! Water shoes are recommended, and we have life jackets on request. Most of our tubes come with bottoms and back rests, but a few are open to the water. Most weekends, reservations are not required, but it does help tremendously if we know when you want to come and how many in your group. Lastly, check out a Facebook page for our occasional live music events and festivals!
