Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

I had a great car camping experience at this site. The river and nearby train run right behind the campsite—the sound of the water helped me fall asleep easily. It’s a 30-minute drive to the Appalachian Trail and just 15 minutes to the Chessie Rail Trail. The bathrooms and showers were clean, and the hosts were friendly and available. While the sites aren't private, it was quiet with plenty of space between campers.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

I absolutely loved this site. Well manicured. Clean and nice shower house. The rushing of the river will lull you to sleep. It’s the first campsite that I’ve been to that has business class fiber WiFi. Speed test showed 200gb down and 200gb up. Teams calls were no issue. The owners are very responsive to your questions. They take the time to check on you to see if you need anything. I will be making this place a regular visit. This is a must stop for a peaceful and beautiful location to relax.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Nice quiet pretty campground with utility hookups for RVs. Well spaced sites both open or with trees surrounding, next to a small river. Free firewood! Wifi access at your site! Was towing a 17' trailer, the site I took I could swing around the open grass as if a pull through, very easy to get set up, and site was level. Owners were helpful and accommodating, clean bathrooms and showers, fairly close to town and local restaurants. Some other campers had families and their kids could feed and pet owner's baby goats. Overall great stop on the way up Rt 81.

Weekend Trip to Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

We loved our tent camping experience at Swedish! Valerie and Fritz were incredibly kind and welcoming. The kids had a great time and especially enjoyed getting to feed the baby goat—it was a highlight for them. The bathrooms and washrooms were spotless and well-maintained. Overall, it was a wonderful stay for the whole family.

2 nights at Sweetwater Farm Trail Center

It was a lovely tent site in a gorgeous area of West Virginia. The bathrooms were nicer than any other camping place I've been to and the wifi was appreciated.

1 night at Swedish Lilac Campground & Events

Wonderful host! Wonderful campsites, lots of space scenic, and quiet. Will definitely stay there again!

2 nights at Shirley's River Retreat

This was one of the most amazing finds I’ve ever had! Beautiful river view, and peaceful and quiet. Mark was absolutely the best, he is by far the best host I have had, I can’t wait to go back again. This place is off beaten path. It takes you into a little oasis.

1 night at River Trail Hollow

My friend and I had a great experience at Steve's campground. It was peaceful and well designed. We were greeted by Nelson, who welcomed us and provided local information that was very helpful. I highly recommend this campground.

1 night at Camp Karma

Elizabeth is communicative and attentive. It can get cold at night, but the cabin did the work for me. I would come back next time I’m driving around the area.

Weekend Trip to River Trail Hollow

River Trail Hollow Camp Ground was very nice. Camping spots are setup great, plenty of room between camping spots. We were the only campers there and even though our first night had a rain storm we enjoyed the peace and quiet of nature. Plenty of fish in the Greenbrier River. The kids and my husband caught lots of small mouth bass, rock bass and a carp. We camped in spot 1, it was right on the creek and a hop, skip and jump from the Greenbrier River. Greenbrier Trail was at the entrance to the campground if you want to go for a walk or bike ride. We will definitely be back for more camping.

Weekend Trip to Riverwood

The peacefulness and beauty of Highland County are exemplified at this location.

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Sanctuary

We enjoyed our stay so much, we started planning our next trip before we even left. We had lots of privacy, the land was beautiful, the bathrooms were clean, the creek was magical…I could go on and on. We loved every minute and will definitely be back soon!

Weekend Trip to Arcadia Sanctuary

My family and I had an amazing experience tent camping on Fran's property. Our site by the pond was idyllic, lots of ducks visited us. The stream was so fun to explore, we saw tons of fireflies, there super friendly dogs on the property---every aspect of our trip was great. Would 100% recommend :)

3 nights at Arcadia Sanctuary

This place is really peaceful and magical. Fran and her staff are lovely. Make sure you get the breakfast!

3 nights at Arcadia Sanctuary

Second time staying here. Hope I can stay again in the future. Great place. Great location for access to hiking trails. Definitely get the breakfast! Amazing!!! Great host.

1 night at River Trail Hollow

Clean, quiet, nice amenities. Only disappointment was the absence of trash receptacles.

Weekend Trip to Wilderness Adventure

Cabin camping at this little slice of heaven was everything I was looking for. Everyone working there and staying there were all kind and down to earth. They are pet friendly, reasonably priced, and just good people... What more could you ask for? The property is huge with lots of options for adventure (kayaking, tubing, and canoeing) as well as some hiking paths. The pups and I will most certainly be back!

Weekend Trip to River Trail Hollow

It was my first time camping here. Me and my friend decided to do a last minute camping trip for memorial weekend. Due to the holiday it was obviously difficult to find a place last minute. I figured I would try somewhere new and booked here. It was beautiful! The property was gorgeous, right off of the creek, the area was well maintained, and they generously provided the first bucket of firewood free of charge. I would definitely recommend this campground to anyone looking to visit the area!

Weekend Trip to 12 Gates Farms

Very quiet. Peaceful and safe. Watch out for deer on the way in. Very considerate hosts.

4 nights at Dices Spring Farm Camp & Views

We were at campsite #2 and stayed for several days, it was great - we were so happy we chose this spot! Beautiful view, very private campsite, spacious, well kept! There was plenty of room for our two tents, we could have easily set up another one with the space. The only thing to note is that the drive up the hill to the campsite was rough for my little Toyota Corolla, if you have a low sitting car you’re going to bottom out, but with some maneuvering and strategy we figured out how to go up and down without major impact & also limited our times coming and going from the site. Overall a great place to camp and close to many breweries, wineries, outdoor adventures, etc. highly recommend!

Twin Poplar Farm

3 sites · Tents65 acres · Amherst, VA

The Farm is located on 65 private acres of Woods and Field on the Tye River. This is a place for people who love nature and want to be out in it. We have chosen to prioritize conservation over ease of access, so though the sites are all walk in only [or paddle in!] this means you will camp on the grass or leaves not the gravel of a parking lot. There are only 3 sites on the land so you can soak up nature without noisy neighbors. "Twin Poplar" refers to the Tulip Poplar's extraordinary tenacity, after being cut down, like the Phoenix who returns to life after death, a Poplar will often regrow as two "twin" trunks. A chance for a new life and growth! For more follow us on Instagram @TwinPoplarFarm

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. :)

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.

As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful!

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.

Why B Square mountain yurt rentals

3 sites · Lodging2 acres · Pilot, VA

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!

Enjoy our family's 32 acre eco-wonder property that features forested mountain walking trails, two small ponds, seasonal waterfall, and the Potomac River that runs through it. Perfect private retreat for nature enthusiasts, writers, artists, musicians, contemplatives, and small families.

One can easily find the soothing voice of water nearby at the seasonal waterfall or alongside the flowing river. Rejuvenate with friends, families, nature lovers, and contemplatives. Mountaintop offers superb stargazing, swimming, fishing, hiking, strenuous mountain biking, camping, serenity, peace, and connective nature immersion. There are currently three sites: the MountainTop Cabin (sleeps up to 4); the Retreat Cabin (sleeps up to 4): and the Fern Grove campsite (sleeps up to 4). You can book a cabin or the campsite for your family, or the whole place for a small group by booking each site--that will ensure privacy. Last year we hosted wellness retreats for small groups at this little oasis tucked in the mountains of gorgeous West Virginia. "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."

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.
