27 ft Class C
With kids
We absolutely loved camping at Infinity Acres! We were a party of 7. 4 adults and 1 kid in our 27ft class C RV, and then 1 adult and 2 kids in a tent. There was plenty of space for camping and hanging out, enjoying the fire pit. We cooked 3 meals over the fire, including some Bass that we caught in the lake! We are novice fisherman, so Rick even helped the kids getting the poles set up and giving advice on bait.
Our RV is a 27ft Minnie Winnie, 13ft clearance, and barely fit into the spot. Laura came to greet us and we actually had to trim a couple of branches to be able to fit, but she was kind and helpful and we made it work no problem.
The kids absolutely loved watching all of the animals. We took a few hikes through the woods and made our way to "Narnia". And the fishing pond was great. Our oldest son caught his biggest fish!
The views were great, so much foliage, and the property sits atop a hill so you've got quite a bit of visibility.
We will absolutely stay here again, both kids and adults had a great time at Laura's place!

Great site! Beautiful, big, and private. The picnic table was huge and the fire pit was big and really nice. The best part was the TONS of complementary firewood. One of their dogs hung out with us and our dogs for a few hours before it got dark. There are also 2 barn kittens that hung out with us all night lol.
Dayla and Denae were very sweet and generous hosts. We can't wait to go back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Super responsive host. Site was clean and private, you get the entire place to yourself. All the free firewood you want, that's a nice touch! Clean porta john. A gas station and Dollar store less than 3 minutes away too if you forget anything.

Dayla is the warmest and most welcoming host I have ever met! She was so kind and made sure to go the extra mile in every way so that our experience would be one for the memories. Great spot with complete privacy, pond to fish, horses to pet, a creek to bathe in and relax by, an open area for activities, a camp fire to sit and laugh around, wood to burn, and it’s in a great location. We hiked hanging rock and got ice cream that was DELICIOUS and spent the rest of the time on site laughing, worshipping and learning about the Lord, and making memories that will last a long time. Highly recommend and plan on going back soon!

As a single woman camper, I couldn’t feel any safer knowing I’m in the middle of a sprawling property, with host’s who are there for me, who understand the safety and peace desired. This is my 3rd or 4th visit and I’ll for sure be back. I love the privacy of the HipCamp with the horses just across the creek to go visit. I was surprised happily that they were recently (also surprise) donated some kittens. There were 3 kitties that became friends by the end. There’s also two dogs who may or may not interact. I enjoyed my visits with all the animals as well as lots of time on my own. The port a potty is convenient and potable water is available up a hill at the host’s home. I tent camped and enjoyed fires in the evenings with a ton of complimentary wood. It’s very quiet aside from a bit of street noise at peak times and maybe some mowing of the large property. Love this place.

Another great trip to Kohker Farms. Our host was gracious enough to help us out with a couple of ingredients we forgot for our main dinner dish.

There was a lot of space for dogs or for you to bring some friends! It’s really quiet and it’s next to a pasture with some friendly horses.

It was a nice private peaceful place to tent camp. The sound of the creek was so relaxing. It was fun for my kids to meet the enormous horses. The porta potty was a little gross but I guess they usually are. The potable water from the house was a bit of a walk to get to so I recommend bringing some large gallon containers or something to carry the water from the spigot to the campsite.

Everything about Dayla & Denae’s Grassy Knoll is perfect. The hosts are welcoming, kind, & easy to communicate with. The campsite truly felt cared for with their visitors in mind — an extremely clean port a potty, trash can on site, huge picnic table, beautiful firepit, dozens of chairs, and more dry firewood & kindling than you could ever need. We loved visiting their majestic shire horses & playing with their two sweet pups. The creek is refreshing and perfect to pop a chair in, and falling asleep to the sounds of water at night is just perfect. This is the best camping spot we’ve ever been to & can’t wait to return!

Absolutely beautiful property, majestic horses, kind hosts that offered endless wood, enough seating for all guests, they even helped us with our deflating tire. We also had a magical experience of a great blue heron flying extremely close overhead, twice! Unfortunately a tropical storm cut our stay short. Completely out of the hosts’ control, a freight train blared its horn for quite a while in the middle of the night we stayed as well as some street racing drivers revving their engines in the distance made sleeping a little difficult. Just thought light sleepers might want to be forewarned. We would absolutely go again and recommend them!

This is, hands down, the best spot we've found using Hipcamp! The hosts are incredibly friendly and offer a ton of free firewood, a port-a-porty and garbage cans. The camping site is humongous and we enjoyed all the fish and crayfish in the creek. The bestest part is
the 2 four legged puppers that hang out with you! We loved our stay soooo much, we will back many more times down the road!

I don't want to be cheesy, but my experience here was truly magical. Just tucked away enough to feel secluded but close enough to the hosts' house and civilization to feel safe. You're just across a small creek from the horse pastures. The horses were incredibly friendly with both me and my dog (who kept a curious but respectful distance.) The site itself was well prepped for guests and would be great for large groups but also felt perfectly private and peaceful for a single camper.
Couldn't recommend enough!! Will be back!

We loved our stay at Kohler Farms! The campsite was absolutely beautiful—right along the creek, which provided the most peaceful background of babbling water all weekend long. The hosts were incredibly communicative and thoughtful, even covering the kindling so everything stayed dry for us. Tons of firewood was available, and the site itself felt private and well-kept.
Their two farm dogs stopped by to say hello a couple of times and were so sweet with our pup—it was such a fun surprise. And wow, their shire horses are stunning! Seeing them up close was magical.
The only thing to note is that you can hear some road traffic at night, but overall, this spot was serene and so worth it. We’d absolutely come back!

Our camping adventure did not go as planned this trip due to weather. We’ve stayed here a few times before and the hosts are always kind and welcoming. It was nice to see their older pup, Callie, again, and their new pup. Even with the mud from the rain it’s still a beautiful property. Look forward to a future trip.

The best waterside camping near Fancy Gap guide
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.
