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 100 Acre Wood

100 Acre Wood is a beautiful site with an absolutely lovely host. David was kind enough to meet us at the house to show us the way to the campsite and even took us on a tour of the property, including the woodworking shop! The views of the mountains and the sunset from our tent was something that will bring me back over and over again. The property is well maintained, and there was plenty of firewood both provided and easy to find around the site itself. David sold me on the views of the Up Top campsite during the fall; I'm excited to come back around that time and see for myself!

1 night at Hippie Hollow

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

4 nights at 100 Acre Wood

My husband and I had an amazing time staying on Dave’s property. The property is absolutely stunning and Dave is nice enough to give you a tour if you’d like. We booked the up on top site but quickly learned it was going to be too hot without any tree coverage, and Dave was more than willing to allow us to move to the Bruington meadow which provided ample shade and it was much more comfortable! If you have the time take a drive to cascade falls (Dave’s suggestion) for one of the most breathtaking waterfalls and swimming holes. All in all it was an unforgettable holiday weekend and will absolutely be returning day.

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.

3 nights at Babbling Brook Campground

We had a great time. It was such a beautiful and relaxing setting - just what we needed to unplug and connect for a long weekend. Elizabeth was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to help us feel welcome. Our 2.5 year old son had so much fun splashing in the river and visiting with the farm animals. Would totally recommend!!

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 Babbling Brook Campground

We enjoyed our stay here, the campground and bathroom were clean, the location was great and the host were very nice and friendly.

1 night at Camp The New River, Blacksburg, VA

Beautiful, quiet, lovely spot! We enjoyed our relaxing stay. Will definitely come back.

1 night at The Rocky Knoll

Great views. Great hosts. Very good directions to location, had no problem getting in or out. Perfect for hammock camping

3 nights at Camp The New River, Blacksburg, VA

We loved our experience camping here! Hosts are very kind and thoughtful. I love that the camping and swimming area are shaded for the majority of the day. Great swimming for kids! 🎉🎉 Loved it all so much and we will be back!

2 nights at The Rocky Knoll

Stayed two nights in my overlander trailer. Good location for a base camp to day hike Hanging Rock S.P. and Pilot Mountain. Reasonably close to Winston-Salem. Everything in HipCamp description is accurate. Good, flat, pull through area to park rig and nice, flat, large pad for one large tent. Probably tight to make turns for larger RV. All clean and orderly. Nice long-distance views. Good amenities (as described) -- plenty of room, fire pit and wood, two picnic tables, etc. "Poop shed" is just that (a shell of a porta john) but IS NOT a privy or outhouse. Some very minor road noise and farm animals, but not bothersome at all. I will definitely stay again for the purposes of my visit.

1 night at 100 Acre Wood

It’s obvious the owner loves his land…my wife couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the trails are there and how well kept they all are! Delightful stay!

4 nights at Meadow Creek In Dry Valley

What a gorgeous space! The creek, fireflies, wildlife, it was such a peaceful, beautiful spot. We especially loved hanging out in the pavilion on a rainy morning. Incredibly kind and welcoming hosts too - we’d absolutely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to NEW RIVER REDEMPTION

What an amazing campsite! We had a wonderful time at New River Redemption. It was peaceful next to the river and easy to spend time relaxing in the water. Amy was an excellent host and had some yard games for us to use, too.

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

I dug camping at Jeremy's. Beautiful property. Great vibe. Very attentive host who makes it happen. Great faculties and hook ups etc.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Campground at Seneca

We recently reserved Cohosh Cove for a weekend decompression. We were the only people we saw the whole time. It was peaceful and cozy. The creek/river was a comforting burble, and the wildlife was varied and interesting. We did notice that off of the side of the trails are some patches of poison ivy, and there some old barbed wire that could be a problem for someone not aware of it, but all of this is off-trail. The campsite consists of three locations - two quite close together and Cohosh Cove which is remote enough to be comfortably private. The site itself has a flat, sandy clearing about 15'x20', with room for a fairly large tent, chairs, hammock, etc. There is a picnic table and a fire ring at each of the 3 sites. We visited in the summer, and our days were hot, still and humid (my wife insists that I point out that I am a man - she was completely comfortable). A hand fan would have been nice. The outhouse isn't the Ritz-Carlton, but find me one that is. There are train tracks in the distance (we got about 3 per day, which isn't too excessive). The creek is accessible with a short walk out to the drive and around (I don't recommend the direct route), and it is beautiful. The water is cool - not too swift or deep, with a rocky bed, (bring your Crocs). My wife went from one little wonder to the next, and it really refilled her batteries - we had a great time. I'd recommend Cohosh Cove if you're just looking to chill and put your feet in some water. Thanks, David.

Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned company in Floyd, Virginia, started by my mother, Sharon. We were staying at Treebones, a yurt 'glampground' in Big Sur, California, and fell in love with yurts together. My mom said, "I think I could build one of these," and the company was born! She does all the woodworking, using sustainable practices, with locally-sourced wood, and her best friend Kathy does the fabric end of things. I was one of her early guinea pigs, and love my yurt property dearly <3 This 24' yurt sits on a beautiful private acreage off an end-state maintenance road, with biking and hiking trails just a 20 minute drive from the touristy town of Floyd, Virginia. There's a steam shower sauna, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a deck overlooking the mountains with a table and seating. Enjoy!

Mystic Meadow Farm Glamping.

2 sites · Lodging28 acres · Madison, NC

My farm had been untouched for years and only used as hay farming. It is rolling hills known by the locals as "Butterfly Hill" Which the farm is home to many species of butterflies in the summer. I know the area was inhabited by native Americans many decades ago. I have found a few broken arrow heads over the years. The farm is beautiful and quiet. I have a beautiful hiking trail around the property for you to take your fur babies on. The cabin is right on a beautiful stream too. There are several state parks nearby and river tubing within 10 -30 minutes. Hot showers and potable water just a few feet away.

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!

Learn more about this land: Fall asleep to hooting owls and the gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank your campsite. Wake up with a dip in the river or a morning hike in the woods. 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. Each site has a sign as well When driving, please be respectful of the right of way. Drive slowly and respect the farm equipment. Also please do not venture onto the neighbor’s property other than entry and exit. About the property 20 minutes from Blacksburg and 35 minutes from Roanoke, our campground gives you great access to the “Triple Crown” of the Appalachian trail, consisting of McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs, and Dragon’s Tooth. Conquer these iconic peaks of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains for spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. Additionally, explore Falls Ridge Nature preserve, Cascades waterfall, and Carvin’s Cove for hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. Or just stay on the campground and enjoy the hiking and swimming we offer here. Nearby in Blacksburg take advantage of the local breweries or Virginia Tech football home games. You can also find Christmas tree cutting in Floyd county, 45mins away. This property deserves to be shared with others. It is peaceful and beautiful. 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. As you fall asleep, listen to the occasional hoot of an owl, howl of a coyote, and gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank the campsite. 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. What to bring Your tent and camping equipment Potable water and/or water filtration and purification equipment Fire starting equipment if needed, assuming there is no local fire ban in place Pets are welcome During warm months, a swim suit to enjoy the river!

Camping near Fancy Gap guide

Overview

Just past the North Carolina border in the Blue Ridge Mountains sits Fancy Gap. It’s close to peaceful getaways and exciting mountain hikes. Cool off in summer with a splash in Claytor Lake, or head to Fairy Stone State Park and hunt for unique stones while camping under the trees. For stunning views, Stone Mountain State Park delivers rocky trails and waterfall hikes along its namesake landmark. Campers can enjoy everything from rustic backcountry escapes to cozy glamping options and cabins near any of these natural beauty sports. RV parks also sit at Stone Mountain, typically offering hookups and dump stations.

Where to go

Claytor Lake State Park

Sweat on the trails, and then cool off with a swim in Claytor Lake. Reservations are required for tent camping, yurt, waterview cabin, and bunkhouse rentals by the lake, and they’re worth it—electric hookups and picnic areas are available at most on-site campgrounds. Check out private boat rentals at the marina for outings on the water. Anglers can also enjoy the fishing pier, while campers seeking scenery can hike Lakeview Trail for an easy walk by the lake.

Fairy Stone State Park

Known for the rare, tiny “fairy stones'' that fill the red sand, Fairy Stone State Park offers a beautiful destination for hiking, horseback riding, paddleboating, and swimming in the 168-acre lake. Tent camping, equestrian camping, and climate-controlled cabin or yurt rentals allow campers to stay overnight in the park, but cabins don’t include linens. Most campsites include fire rings and electric and water hookups. For a unique souvenir, walk to the Fairy Stone Pit Stop and hunt for fairy stones—each visitor is allowed to collect a few to take home.

Stone Mountain State Park

Just over the North Carolina border lies Stone Mountain State Park, home to the 600-foot national landmark that gives the area its name. Wander along hiking trails for waterfall views, fish for trout in streams, or go horseback riding on one of Stone Mountain’s many bridle trails. Electric and water hookups and a dump station make this park RV-friendly. Group and individual tent camping sites also offer showers and firewood.

When to go

Fall is the most popular time to camp near Fancy Gap, when bright colors decorate the forests and campers can relax in cool weather. In summer, temperatures average around 80°F. Campers can beat the humidity with a campground near the water for swimming, boating, and fishing. Most Virginia state parks are open year-round, so winter camping near Fancy Gap is also an option for campers seeking a quiet escape. Winter temperatures in the area average between 40–45°F.
