Welcome to our Island Farm! We're located between Davis, Parsons, and Elkins. Dolly Sods, Canaan, Audra State Park, the Tygart River, the Cheat River, Seneca Rocks, and Tygart Lake are all a simple and scenic trip away. The land itself is 10 acres. The main camp area is on flat field and approximately 4 acres. Here is the secret recipe to this camp site: It will be all yours! We only offer a single primitive site per night. There are no neighbors (at least the human kind) visible from anywhere on the main field. Very minimal light pollution. The stars are clearly visible on a clear night. There are also no utilities. This includes water, electricity, or available enclosed shelters. Verizon and AT&T have strong signals in the field. There is a metal carport that has a concrete pad along with a Porta John for privacy. There are also some storage buildings on site. There is a gas station (Sheetz in Belington, WV) within 5 miles of the farm site and a Dollar General within 3 miles. Beyond that, Elkins has plenty of store options if you need supplies. Interstate 79 is 32 miles away. We are in the process of developing the far corner of the main field into an active hops farm and are members of a WV Co-Hop. Again: this site is secluded and your group will be the only people there during your stay. We will provide detailed directions when you make your reservation. The driveway is steep and could cause issues for two wheel drive vehicles in winter. If it's rained extensively there could also be some muddy areas which we ask that you try to avoid.

Tommy's place is gorgeous land! There are nice fields and woods. It felt entirely safe for women to camp alone. It was easy to find using the instructions and we didn't need 4wd. Would definitely go back! Tommy is delightful and didn't make fun of me when I said I saw a big bear. It was really a cow in the neighbor's pasture, way off in the distance.

Great peaceful stay on Tommy’s farmland, and he was so accommodating! He came out to meet me at the road going into his usual camping area, and when I expressed concerns about my van’s low clearance, he let me camp up on a gravel driveway that was level-ish that led to his horse barn. It was much closer to the road, but there isn’t a lot of traffic - so this was a great idea and big favor on his part to help me out. The road from Snake Hill Road to his farm was narrow, but the neighbors were very nice in getting over to help with passing one another. All in all, a great place at a great price - and I’d stay again if in the area.

I had such a wonderful experience at Earth Sky’s River Front Camping Spot. The camping area itself was absolutely beautiful — peaceful, scenic, and the perfect place to relax on the river. Emily and her husband were incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They even had an extra amenity available and provided me with firewood, which made my evening by the river even more enjoyable. Their recommendations for Arden Falls and other sightseeing spots were spot on — each one was tranquil and worth the visit. I couldn’t have asked for a better camping getaway!

I loved camping at EarthSky, the site was directly on the river and I was serenaded by the geese flying over my little camper. The morning mist rising from the water with herons flying was earily other worldly. The words "a beautiful place" do not do it justice. Emily and Dustin were there to greet me and show me to the camp site. The drive down the well maintained gravel road was easy for me and my pop up camper. The site was level, grass was cut, fire pit cleaned and ready for my fire. A picnic table at the site was an added helpful bonus.
