Abdallah has a beautiful, peaceful spot to spend a night or a week. Green fields slope down to a lively brook and both campsites offer wonderful views of both. Abdallah is a gracious and unobtrusive host. Would absolutely stay here again, and hope to do so!

Wonderful spot

Tent · Group trip

Great spot 10/10, many different spots to choose to place your tent with incredible views of the stars. The stream provides some decent fishing and peaceful ambiance to your night away. My personal favorite moment from this trip was enjoying chopping it up around the fire by the stream looking up at the stars. My only gripe with this site at all, is its distance from the park and lack of access to great hiking. Other than that the host was super helpful and the site was wonderful, it truly is all to yourself.

We loved camping at this stunning location! The host was so helpful and friendly, he came by to greet us and show us a nice spot to camp at. He gave us recommendations and then gave us privacy the rest of the time. The spot is gorgeous, private and tranquil. Watching the sheep grazing was one of my favorite parts. The stream is beautiful and we could hear it at night, which was really nice. About a 10minute drive from a convenience store/gas station which we ended up needing so that was very convenient. We wish we had had time to explore the trail, but we’ll definitely be back! Nothing but good things to say about this place & definitely recommend!

This is a perfect spot for anyone thats looking for some peace and quiet. Very beautiful area, and the water is PERFECT for fishing, wading, or even doing some light swimming. Abdallah was very friendly and welcoming to us, and he was very helpful with any and all questions we had. Hope to go back again soon!

A Hidden Gem in Virginia is a beautiful, off the beaten path camp site that offered a wonderful weekend. Our host was gracious and offered additional support if needed and provided us the peace and quite we were after. Fishing, great views, and a great camp site.

Great weekend getaway!

Tent

Beautiful property! Abdallah was very friendly and considerate, he gave very clear instructions and information. Property has a creek running alongside that has a few good fishing holes. There's a few options on where to setup your tent which is really nice. Good cell reception at the property. Still felt very private, nice to not have to share with other campers. Not far from town if you need to resupply!

A true hidden gem! Absolutely gorgeous views, with plenty of hiking to explore! Private swimming and fishing holes. Just outside Abdullah’s farm is serene, provate, and safe. This place was awesome and will definitely be coming back.

Really nice weekend:)

Great camp spot, private. There was plenty of space, a nice fire ring and easy access to the creek to cool off, which was essential with the hot temps. We had a great weekend. Also , close to some nice hiking trails with beautiful lockouts. We stopped at Star in The Valley winery which was a nice touch to the weekend.

Had a great stay for Labor Day weekend, there are 3 different spots you can choose from all are along the crik. I recommend bringing a canopy if it’s hot out and you want shade, we forgot ours and the sun is over the open field all day. Would definitely recommend this site for a group and we would gladly stay here again.

Abdallah is a great communicator. The site is remote and quiet. We fished the stream and caught fish in almost every hole. Plenty of space for multiple tents. We will be back very soon.

Highly recommend!

Tent · With pets

We really enjoyed Abdallah’s campsite! We camped right along the water so it was very peaceful and serene. There was firewood at the site once we arrived and we had no trouble getting a fire started or setting up camp! Abdallah reached out to us shortly after arrival with information about the campsite and the property - I felt like we were able to reach out at any point with questions or concerns if we had any (luckily everything was perfect so we didn’t!)
