Weekend Trip to Olde Tyme Cabins
The location was perfect! We felt secluded in our little camp and were able to hike up the hillside nearby. We loved the campfire with the lights strung around, and there were roasting sticks in one of the RV cubbies. The hot tub was amazing. We did get rained out of the hot tub, since there is no awning over it, but once the rain stopped, we were able to enjoy again. The master bed was comfortable, and the bunk beds have a curtain to keep lights out for later sleepers. We camped in mid-November and stayed warm and cozy the whole time. Our only complaint was the water. It never quite worked well enough to shower, and washing dishes was frustrating. We did let our hosts know, and they came quickly to work on it, which helped for a short while, but didn't last the duration.

Beautiful tent site that overlooked the pretty blue water. Wood was only $5 a bundle and Amber brought it right to us. And what a deal it was! Toilet was nice and tidy as well.

Without being too remote, it feels like it. The way the site it situated it feels very private! There is a long gravel drive that feels like you may have missed the turn but it’s actually the way you get in. I was located on tent site 2 and to me tent 1 & 2 are the best! Lots of room to spread out. The grassy knoll is well kept and level the lake is right there. We were a group of 4 women and we met another female solo traveler on site. What I like most about it was it felt very safe and as a new camper that is extremely important to me. I think the host Amber said there are only 8 or 10 sites so no traffic to speak of. A very communal feeling. No WiFi on site but if you venture off site you can pick it up 5 min away. Amber rocks!! Very hospitable and friendly. Two great towns 30 minutes away Deep Creek Lake and Oakland with lots of shops, restaurants, thrift shops and antiques. I look forward to becoming a regular at this site. Oh and did I mention no bugs 🐜

Julie was such a kind and accommodating host. If you love animals, you’ll love this farm. Wide open spaces, a giant fire pit, very low light pollution at night for amazing stargazing. The bathroom with toilet and deep wash basin connected to the barn brought so much convenience and comfort. I just can’t express how welcoming and friendly Julie and her husband Shannon were to me. 10/10, I plan on coming back!

Our stay at Bear Run Farms was great! The natural blue water was a highlight. Patience was a must for viewing it at its full potential, considering the time of year and what seemed to be the suns position. Worth the wait. Cows roam free and we weren't surprised to see them near our site while we drank our morning coffee. Clean, tidy land, and Amber, the host, was pleasantly friendly. We didn't have any cell service but that may have been our carrier. Definitely recommend!

We booked sites one and two. We really enjoyed our stay, the property is beautiful and Amber’s communication and check in instructions were fantastic. If I could offer one recommendation it would be to see if anything could be done to freshen up the outhouse for those sites. But even with that I’d still recommend this place to friends and I’m already wanting to plan another trip back.

Really lovely spot. There’s a nice view of the water through the trees and sunset on the other side. The two camping spots are a good distance apart, but they are on flat clear land, so you can see and hear other campers. Everyone was really friendly. Even the cows walked by to say hello. I will definitely return.

This camp site was just what I needed. The host was quick to reply. The outhouse was very well maintained. There were othwr camp sites close by but it didnt feel like it. The water was so gorgeous and fun to swim in. I would 100% go back.

As a newbie to car camping, Camp Holly was exactly what I was looking for. Nestled in the mountains, my site #4 was perfect and had a nice little path down the bank to the creek. The pond is well maintained and there's a great hiking trail up the hill that my dog and I enjoyed. Firewood was readily available with carts to haul it the short walk back to campsite. The sites were clean and well cared for and if there was any drawback, it might be the noise of motorcycles and trucks from Rte 20 at time. (FYI bikers - WVA 15 from Flatwood to Diana and loop back north on 20 would be an amazing ride, but yeah, what part of WVa isn't?) The noise didn't bother me other than "made you look" reaction. I only mention it because it may be annoying to some. I got tired of my camp food so the last night I ordered out from the diner up the road - not to disappoint it was good old home cooked food and the owner was super friendly. Last but not least, the bath house was immaculate and was cleaned daily. I think you'll enjoy your stay at Camp Holly and highly recommend it.

This was our second time staying at the farm, and it could not be better. The site was well cared for with no evidence of previous guests. We were able to set up my micro camper and a hammock without difficulty. The host came by and wished us well. Overall, an excellent experience

Great spot near the Cheat River. We stayed at one of the primitive sites with our dog. In the mornings, we'd walk directly to the river for a cold bath and some dog splashing then go on long walks at the end of the day up and down the very rural country road along the Cheat (experienced no traffic on a 2 hour walk other than a four-wheeler). The port-o-potty was the cleanest I've ever been in (and I've been in a lot...), and there was even some air freshener provided. The campsites are close to one another, so it's not the most private, but there were only a few people there during our stay. If you're looking for a place for social camping, I bet Brooklyn Heights would be a fun place to go in the summer when it's full.
Though we didn't avail ourselves of it, there was a nice tent-covered cafe near the firewood station; there were even tables and chairs provided within so you could sit and have a chat before you meet the day. Very nice. We'll definitely be going back and might think about staying in one of the dwellings if we stay for longer than two nights. Those looked very cozy and convenient and private.
Great camping spot. And Vincent is clearly very conscious of keeping the campsite in good order (thanks, V). Lovely place with lots of small towns nearby and great hiking. Our dog loved it, as did we.

Love this place! Amber is amazing and is very attentive to all campers. Been two times so far and plan to keep coming back. Also, they have wood readily available for purchase. Which is not only cheaper than anywhere we seen, it is extremely convenient to purchase a load and they bring it right to the site for ya. Just awesome!

This place was pretty nice! We were the only ones there, so that made it even better. The porta potties were clean and stocked, plenty of firewood for sale on the grounds, nice quiet area, I honestly couldn't have asked for more. As other reviewers have noted, there's little light pollution out there making for killer night sky views!

We loved this Hipcamp! It was clean, private, and had everything we needed. Our little one enjoyed her adventures around the property and meeting the owners and I enjoyed the quiet. They left beautiful flowers on the picnic table that attracted butterflies the entire time we were there. We are definitely hoping to come back!

Down a narrow WV road which hugs the riverbanks of the Dry Fork River, we found one of the most quiet campgrounds we have visited in a while. The sites were well maintained and easy to access with my small micro camper. We had nightly bonfires at the riverbank fire pits--listening to the gentle flow of the river and stargazing between the trees.
