W.T. Farm?

What makes W.T. Farm special is the diversity of textures of the landscape. We have great mountain top views, as well as, a deep holler with cliffs, rock outcroppings, and waterfalls. The fields are full of fruit and nut trees and there are 5 ponds. Each of these supports its own flora and fauna. I acquired stewardship of this land years ago and have developed perennial orchards wherever possible. I started with pears and have branched out into pawpaws, apples, persimmons, currants, black walnuts etc. and I boast that I planted the first commercial hickory oil orchard in the world. I am an eccentric horticulturalist and graft cultivar varieties onto existing trees like oaks, hickories, black walnuts, and even the maligned invasive honeysuckle, autumn olive and multiflora rose. Just last year I bought an adjoining farm that opened up 50 acres of more orchard planting. It is on top of the mountain and offers an expansive view of the valley and ridge system that defines our region. Funny thing is that because the land between the old farm and the new farm is divided by cliffs in the holler the only way to get from one to the other is a 12 minute drive or vigorous hiking. On this new land is a historic log cabin I am renovating that is said to be one of the original settler's cabin on the mountain. Because of the amount of tree fruit I grow and the varied landscape, there is a rich diversity of birds and animals to be seen. One of my favorite walks is along the cliffs to the top waterfall where there is a sweet wading pool. I have also built a number of ponds and four of them are quite swimmable. One has a dock and is where we spend much summer time refreshing and frolicking. The farm is also a small (very small) licensed farm winery and we make and sell traditional hard cider from our apples and pears. Our cider can be purchased along with our nut oils and flours and other farm produce you may not be familiar with. We live to eat. Coming here is a gastronomical adventure! I run the Acornucopia project from here and from it we are developing a foragers network that would very much suit the lifestyle of hipcampers. We pay foragers for wild nuts they gather. Also often there is an opportunity to work on the farm harvesting and processing food. Let me know if that is something you would like to do. Treely Yours, Bill

Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. 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! They do bite!

Come camp at the top of the mountain on our private, undeveloped land. You’ll have access to miles of trails through wildflower meadows, old-growth forest, and ridgeline views. The site is peaceful, remote, and surrounded by native plants and wildlife. This is a primitive campsite — there’s no running water, buildings, or electricity. It’s best suited for campers comfortable with a backcountry setup who want quiet, privacy, and natural beauty. 4WD Access Required: The campsite is located at the top of a mountain. You’ll need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to access it. Though we are happy to arrange a shuttle for your gear with advance notice. Water: There is a year-round creek nearby with non-potable water. Perfect for rinsing off or washing dishes. Bring your own drinking water or a filter. 6 gallons of water will be left at the campsite to put out the fire or wash your hands. Firewood Provided: We supply firewood for each stay. Bring your own firestarter or lighter. ⚠️Please don't bring in firewood, it can introduce pest and pathogens harmful to the forest. Trash Drop-Off: Please pack out your trash. A drop-off point is available at the base of the mountain near the exit. Cell Service: Cell signal is strong at the campsite but I encourage you to unplug and take in the surroundings (P.S. The pictures don't do the land justice!) Wildlife: This is a natural, wooded area. Expect to see birds, deer, and maybe raccoons. Bears are uncommon but possible — store food securely and follow Leave No Trace practices. No Bathroom On-Site: You’ll need to bring a portable toilet, dig a cat hole, or use a wag bag system. Please be respectful of the land and other future guests. Seclusion & Stargazing: You’ll have plenty of space and privacy. On clear nights, the sky opens up, making it perfect for stargazing. There’s very little light pollution here and from late summer through early fall, the Milky Way is visible overhead. You’ll see different native plants and wild edibles depending on the time of the year.

Weekend Trip to Shirley's River Retreat

passing through with a travel trailer and there's just the right amount of sun to keep my solar panels charged and just the right amount of trees to enjoy the hammocks. host is great. hope to stay again.

This is one of my favorite spots on the farm to just sit. It is lovely to see and listen to the sparkling water. Ive deliberately kept it minimally primitive. Barely distinguishable, is a small flat spot for a two man tent here perched above the run. Can you see it?

Bill’s land is extraordinary. Super peaceful and beautiful. Bill was very welcoming and very helpful and nice. If I had any complaints it would be that the flat area that is cleared for a tent to set up is a little small, we were sleeping at an angle. More suitable for a 3-4 person tent. But overall we had an amazing time and would definitely come back!

We drove our rented Class C RV to Brian’s place and it was heaven! Best Hipcamp spot yet. There was an intense (and amazing) thunderstorm that night and we were concerned the ground might get soft so we drove up to the house for the rest of the night. In the morning ended up we would have been fine staying where we were. Brian was helpful on options for driving back down the mountain. This place is the best!

The creek is so close! We heard it all night.

Great location. Very private spot along the James with ample room for multiple vehicles and tents. Train rolls through every couple hours but it's more nostalgic than bothersome. The cows, on the other hand, were bothersome, but we happened to be there as they were being weaned. Nonetheless, we'll be returning for certain.

4 nights at Starry Nights New River Gorge

Very private and peaceful! We stayed at Hidden Valley campsite. The stars were beautiful. The campsite was super clean and Brian was very friendly. Word to RV campers, the hills on Brian’s property were steep, 4wd is a must, but the biggest concern for trailers would be the roads getting up the mountain from town. Incredibly steep and lots of tight switch backs. We have a Tacoma with a 17ft Casita and anything much bigger would struggle up there. Just a warning if you have a big camper rig. Sometimes the best spots are the hardest to reach! Totally worth it.

We had everything we needed and Beau was an excellent host! You can tell he really loves the land and sharing it with others - he made sure we had everything we needed and checked in on us too. We spent time enjoying the waterfalls, tubing down the little river, hiked on the mountainside, and more. Perfect place to spend time outside with loved ones!!

This is one of the coolest campsites I’ve seen in a long time. The field next to a couple of the campsites is perfect for kids to run around and the creek bed is actually very swimmable. The location is hard to beat. You don’t really get cell service, which is nice and you’re close to most of the big things to see/do in the area. I definitely plan to come back with family!
