Weekend Trip to South River Camp

South River Camp is absolutely beautiful and it’s set up wonderfully! Bobby and Kim are fantastic hosts and we hope to come again soon.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Me and my brothers decided to take our first camping trip and chose this wonderful gem.! The hospitality is amazing and owners were great. Although it was just a day it was well worth it. Can’t wait to go back

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Sanctuary

We loved camping here! Fran was very accommodating and kind. We met her for check in and she let us do our own thing. She was also very respectful that we had a dog with us and let us know that they keep their dogs enclosed during the day when they have campers with dogs. The campsite felt secluded and private despite being very close to the bathrooms, which were clean and in great shape. We loved the animals too! The guinea hens paid us a visit on our way out and all the cats and dogs were very friendly. We also loved listening to the frogs at night. The views were amazing too. On our second night the band played and the music was great, but it was a bit loud from our site.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

2nd time was like coming home! Valerie & Frantz are the most gracious hosts!! Always making sure every camper has what they need. I look forward to visiting again. 🥰

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

This is our third time staying at this gem of a campground. The hosts take great care of the grounds and bathhouse. They personally check in with each camper and make sure your needs are met.

1 night at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

We loved this riverside camping spot! The covered area with ping pong table was a perfect outdoor activity on the evening ofniur rainy arrival. Thankfully, the next morning, the sky was clear so our family enjoyed playing in the clear river waters searching for crawdads. The hosts were gracious and friendly and the bathhouse was clean. The full hookups were great. We look forward to returning!

Weekend Trip to River Trail Hollow

This site is a hidden gem!! So quiet and peaceful. Can walk right to the greenbrier river trail and to the ‘beach’ on the greenbrier river. The site had plenty of space. Our boys loved the creek and we enjoyed night walks after dinner around the loop of the campground. Central to everything we wanted to see and left wanting to stay longer. Already looking into when we can go back. Our whole family agreed it was our favorite spot to date.

1 night at River Trail Hollow

Great place !!!! Firewood on site was awesome !!! Was expecting a cold shower but to my surprise, hot shower !!!!

Weekend Trip to River Trail Hollow

Nice shady spot, one minute walk to easy river access. Nice picnic table, plenty of room for vehicle and tent, and nice spacing between sites. Will stay here again. Easy 10 mile ride to Marlinton.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Awesome spot by the river. The host went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

I really enjoyed camping here at the campgrounds. Though the grounds were packed, there was plenty privacy. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly. This site, in particular is right beside the stream. Under the night sky, it’s truly lovely to look up at the stars with the noise of the water in the background. I would come again, without a doubt.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Great little campground in the countrybut only 10 minutes to lexington. Spread our and not over crowded. Nice south river right behind the sites. Hosts very attentive making sure you had firewood etc. will be definitely going back and taking more family

2 nights at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Fritz and Valerie were great hosts and we enjoyed our time with our teardrop camper at site #14. The facilities were clean and the property was very nice! Close access to the river was a big bonus. We plan to return very soon!

2 nights at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Loved how hosts make sure everyone is comfortable and have a great experience.

2 nights at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

We had an amazing glamping experience in our RV at this hidden spot right next to a beautiful river. You can literally park just steps from the water and spend the day playing, relaxing, or cooling off in the stream. It’s peaceful, secluded, and feels like your own private escape into nature. Falling asleep to the sound of the river was pure bliss. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet, refreshing getaway

2 nights at River Trail Hollow

Another perfect stay! So quiet and peaceful! The pavilion is a plus well. Short walk to the river to swim/tube/kayak. Something for everyone.

1 night at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

We travel in a 24 foot class C. This has become one of our favorite campgrounds! Valerie & Fritz are the most wonderful hosts. They are so kind & welcoming. The location is perfect, a quiet valley that is away from it all but still close enough to the interstate & towns. The setting is so peaceful. You hear the river & see plentiful stars at night. Sites are spacious. This site provided wonderful shade too. We look forward to coming back again!

3 nights at River Trail Hollow

Campground is clean and organized into different camping spots, with plenty of room between each spot. Really nice to have hot showers and a place to wash hands. Outhouses are dispersed throughout the campground making them easy to reach from any camping spot. Fishing on the Greenbrier River is great. Swimming, tubing and kayaking are also popular. Steps away from the Greenbrier River Trail.

1 night at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

This river site is perfect for relaxation. The evening shade cools you down & the sound for the water at night puts you to sleep. Our 24 ft class C fit nicely here & we didn’t need levelers.

Field of Dreams Creek Camping

1 site · Tent13 acres · Concord, VA

All of the land on the gravel road in which we live was at one time a large operating farm. The original farmhouse is still present at the end of the gravel road. In recent years the farm land was sub divided. My husband Jacob and I purchased this piece of property 8 years ago. We absolutely love it here and this land is our own slice of paradise. We have 13 acres of private seclusion with a quiet and peaceful creek spot for camping on the back side of our property. We love having a place where we feel we can be away from it all! Also at the same time we are only a short drive away from downtown Lynchburg as well as quick access to route 460. We enjoy that we can get on the river quickly and we frequently take advantage of the beauty of kayaking the James River. Together Jacob and I find tranquility while camping and exploring new places. We are excited to share our slice of heaven with you and meet people who share our love for the great outdoors. :)

This property was once a 300 acre plus tobacco farm. The original log cabin was built in the 1850s and now serves as our dining room. The front portion of the house was completed in April of 1861 and the back in the early 1900s. We have plans to eventually turn it into a working farm which produces tinctures, salves and extracts of various native plants including hemp. Learn more about this land: Heavily wooded mountain side with flowing creek. Easy access (walking distance) to Jefferson National Forest, National Forest horse trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway. (Note: You cannot drive to the Blue Ridge Parkway as the path is an old forest road which has been gated, but you can walk up to it.) We also have a tree house which has AC, heat and electrical connection. Only site 4 is next to the brook. However, the site positions are for the purposes of the listing only. You may camp anywhere on the property. There is plenty of frontage on the creek and several tents can go up there. The toilets at the treehouse and the bus are flushing, camping toilets with sinks. To find us easily, use what3words.com and enter the words wished.wobbles.shelves. That square is our driveway. The large white square to the right of it is our house.

Thunder BRidge

26 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Natural Bridge Station, VA

Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space. Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. Most of the buildings out front are artist studios (currently for 16 artists). We like to share the camp with others and watch it come back to life. All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky. We want to share our property with those who want to stay for more than one night, so we do not accept inquiries of single night stays.

Arcadia Sanctuary

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents83 acres · Buena Vista, VA

Arcadia is the name we gave to our 83-acre mountainside retreat center for Earth-Based Spirituality. It’s nestled on the south-eastern slope of 4000-foot Mount Pleasant in Central Virginia, convenient to I81. (Note, there is a town called Arcadia off I81, but that is not us. Not to confuse.) We have a mountain creek with waterfalls, towering Beech and Sycamore trees, Witch Hazels leaning over the water, trout, crayfish, snakes, salamanders, and all the rest. We have about 2000 feet of the vertical mountainside with trails to explore. (But the stage and most of the camping is down closer to creek-level.) There are more sites higher up the mountain if you like more isolated camping. More of a trek to the bathrooms/showers/freshwater. We have one of the finest private stages on the East Coast with a top-notch sound system and a natural amphitheater which is like a single pie wedge of a Stadium that has regular live performances throughout the spring, summer, and fall. Our yurt is regularly booked as a unique glamping experience. There are chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl free-roaming. Two dogs, nine cats, and several humans are blessed to call this home. There are two bridges that cross Thrashers Creek to get to Arcadia. The first is not suitable for large vehicles and trailers. The second bridge is our recommended entry way. Be aware we live on side of Mount pleasant and the roads on site are graveled and somewhat windy.
