We loved our peaceful quiet 2 night stay. The host Mike was just up the hill and was very friendly and helpful in providing trail maps and plenty of firewood during our stay. Even had a special treat ... Also saw a bald eagle roosting in one of the tall trees on the property for almost an hour and the morning before we left. It was real nice. Would definitely go again

Just checked out today and we loved it! The space was fantastic, loved all the amenities (outhouse, grill, fire pits)! Saw a few deer, made a fire in the awesome fire pit, and enjoyed the fall colors🍁. Overall it was an amazing experience!

We loved the privacy we had camping at "Stone Soup". There was ample space and woods surrounding us on all side (save the driveway in). The firepit provided much warmth in the mornings and evenings. Having two picnic tables was a game changer for us and we enjoyed having the eating and work space.
The only downside we found was the sound of the road traffic, especially at night. It wasn't often, but every once in awhile a really loud truck would plow through.
Justin was a wonderful host and welcomed us after arrival and have us tips on where to go fishing. My kids loved having "their own" trail through the woods (took about 10 minutes at a fast kid pace).
The toilet was clean and everything we needed.

I would definitely go back. It's tucked far away back and has beautiful mountain views. The outhouse was even decorated for Halloween! As a solo female camper I felt safe and that's very important to me. New Castle is only a 10-15 drive away if you need anything.
There was no cell service with Verizon, which can't be helped but just be aware.

This place was so amazing I ended staying an extra night. This is a huge campsite with the convenience of a covered picnic area and first class outhouse. The sounds of the creek just across the road lulls you to sleep as well as the orchestra of night creatures. The host, Justin, stopped by twice to help with the fire and I actually learned some tips from watching him. He could not be more friendly and gratuitous. The convenience of location to New Castle to grab provisions as needed is also a plus. Justin also recommended Fenwick Mines Trails in the Jefferson National Forrest which is an easy hike which leads to a waterfall and definitely recommended. Definitely will make this spot a place to come back to.

We had an amazing time and Justin stopped by twice to check on us and even helped us with a fire. I would highly recommend his property which is private and clean with two covered tables and two fire pits. A+ experience!

Our stay at Tina’s place could not have been better. Tina was so responsive and helpful. She answered every question and also had firewood and a fire pit ready. Her place was easy to access and was so close to Carvin’s Cove and downtown Roanoke. We throughly enjoyed the peaceful beauty of her campsite. We also took Tina’s advice to use the dump station at Camping World which was only a few miles away. We would give Tina’s place 5 stars, and we definitely plan to return soon.

Tina’s place is outstanding! Just secluded enough to ensure peace and quiet, but close enough to run out and get something you forgot. Tina herself was a wonderful host and was ready with information and local knowledge of the area. Much appreciated!
We had a 22’ Travel Trailer pulled with a 2004 Expedition. Using low range the truck easily backed the camper up the hill, but I can understand it being more difficult without. Still, a wonderful spot and a great host. I look forward to coming back!

The site was well-maintained with great trails snaking from it. The area surrounding is beautiful with a couple of good hiking trails. I recommend checking out Fenwick Mines, there is a cool waterfall there. If you want a weekend away from the rest of the world, you can find it there!

Justin’s spot was great. We loved the fire pit, and the charcoal grill was an excellent backup when we forgot propane! I’ve never seen a cleaner outhouse, as well. We drove ~30 mins to Mcafee Knob for hiking, and the drive was fine. Limited Verizon service at the campsite on my old phone, but plenty near the hike! Justin was an excellent host and even provided a trash can. Thank you very much!

This was my second time coming here for a weekend getaway, Justin is a really stand up guy! He hiked over from his house all the way to the site with a giant water jug so that it would be easier to put out the fire we had made before going to bed. He also checked on us to see if we needed anything, he’s a real nice dude! Me and my buddies will absolutely keep coming here!
You can also see many stars in the night sky when it’s clear, it’s very beautiful!

We had a great stay, ideal location as a base camp for hiking the triple crown. Property was very clean and well-maintained. Justin‘s communication was excellent. Plenty of firewood on site and the pit toilet was a convenient touch. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if we’re ever in the area.

Tina's spot worked really well for us. Convenient location, easy to find, yet nice and quiet. Having the 30A available was a big plus as well on a cold night. Would stay again for sure.
