I had the place to myself and enjoyed staying cozy on the windy days. Was fun to watch prop planes fly low over the site. The walkability of this location is excellent. Just a very short walk to the path along the river. Keep going and reach exercise stations. A little further along, a wider park with trails and views. Playgrounds in several directions and plenty of places to walk the dog. Hosts are very friendly!
book this spot for an in-town backyard camping with your rig *Note: an outdoor ice rink in town opens 11/28

Great location in town with relaxed and accommodating hosts. Hookups for water/elec simple.
Went to sleep with gentle sounds of windchimes and woke beneath a tree slowly dropping yellow leaves.
Several restaurants and parks nearby. Also had the pleasure of hearing the local marching band rehearse . Recommend this HipCamp

It's the perfect fish camp, where you are landing beautiful fish within sight of your campsite. The guys were accommodating and communication was excellent.
Its also 5-10min from some good food an bars, grocery, etc. in case you forget something. Really enjoyed it.

Lovely spot to pitch a tent! We arrived late but were warmly greeted by other guests and spent a great evening having our dinner in the dining area and chatting around the bonfire. And I was not prepared for those cookies, they were SO good. Very convenient to Goshen, we’ll definitely stop by again.

I stayed at campsite #3. Campsite had a picnic table and an area for a fire. The campsite is located about a 3/4 of mile from the main road. Very quiet and remote, perfect for camping. A small creek borders the back of the campsite and the sound of running water at night makes sleep come quickly.
For anyone interested, I have Verizon and could make calls and receive texts, but don't expect to do any streaming.
I would definitely use this campsite again.

Perfect spot to camp with our van while visiting Goshen for the 611 Virginia Scenic Railway. Aimee was pleasant and responsive. Both a gravel parking area and a nice grassy area. The area was very quiet, and there was almost no traffic on the road at night.

Second time for us! A definite repeat. Easy set up, no leveling needed for my class c. Easy access to water and electric. My son loves the swing, fire pit, and treehouse. We walk and used Bird scooters to access local output and Par 3. Incredible restaurants and movie theater within walking distance

Amazing host who made us feel right at home, and informed us of local events and restaurants nearby. My son loved the swing, treehouse, yard, and fire pit available. A backyard getaway that makes you feel like you’re in your own space. Highly recommend, and will be back.

Awesome, private , well kept campsite. We loved it. We had a large group (family) and there was plenty of room to spread out. Two campers 13' and 16' and two tents all on unique sites. No problems getting in or out. Russ is right, 16' is probably the max you can get down there. We hip camp a lot and Russ's spot has moved way up the list of favorites.
Russ was great, very responsive and helpful.
Thanks Russ. Just what we were were looking for.

Beautiful property! Campsite was perfect for resting after a long day. Sleeping at the sound of the rolling creek was a bonus!
Russ is a great host and I will definitely book the campsite again when I’m back in the area.

Beautiful spot on an otherwise private section of the South River. I will definitely book again!
The land is level and easy to set up for tent camping. River access is easy and very Wade-able. The double track path into the site is easy for a SUV or truck. Might be a little sporty for a sedan, or vehicle with a trailer. Communication with the host was easy and responsiveness was excellent. Picnic table onsite was very helpful as was Trashcan. Stone fire pit worked well and absence of ambient light made for a beautiful night sky. There is some traffic noise from I-64, but not enough to keep you awake.
I will definitely camp this site again, and highly recommend it!
