Hilltop camping along the New River in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have a 20 x 30 primitive camping site available, topped with mulch, a chiminea, and a picnic table. The site is surrounded by trees for hammocks and has room for 2 large tents. A fire ring is available for use 100 yards up the hill on a cleared knoll. Please note: The driveway is steep all-wheel or 4-wheel drive is needed for towed campers and camper vans. The driveway leads directly to the campsite. Our secluded 11-acre hilltop property lies just across Chestnut Hill Road from the New River. It is within walking distance of New River Outfitters where you can rent kayaks and canoes, or purchase a fishing license. The New River State Park is just 2 miles away for additional access to the New River and numerous hiking and nature trails. We are located 20 minutes from the charming town of West Jefferson in one direction and 20 minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway in the other. The famous Motley’s BBQ restaurant is only 10 minutes away, and Thistle Meadow Winery is only a 15-minute drive away. Our goal is to provide a quiet, secluded spot for campers to enjoy the beauty of Western North Carolina. Our cleared knoll with a fire ring offers minimal light pollution for night star gazing. A walking trail circles the property and accesses the lower knoll. Enjoy the abundance of wildflowers as you search the wooded hillside for two rocky outcroppings that allow for beautiful views of the river. Welcome to bring all your furry family members, dog bowls can be provided at request. Firewood is available for scavenging throughout the property. A well-maintained and clean Porta Potty screened by a fence is available near the campsite.We have a 20 x 30 primitive camping site available, topped with mulch, a picnic table, and a chiminea.

We just had a wonderful weekend at this site. Very private and well set up. Bathroom is clean and well serviced. The location is great. Quick access to great local fishing, hiking, and W. Jefferson and surrounding areas. Can't go wrong with this one.

Loved that it was just us! Tent area was large and level. Port a potty was conveniently close, but not in-your-face! Site is very close (driving) to one of the New River State Park sections. Lots of back roads to explore....

Hilltop Camping Site
Anita’s property was the best first Hipcamp experience we could have asked for. The tent site was well thought out and has a chimney and picnic table. The portajohn on the property was super clean and even had a motion light leading up to it. Our dog loved being able to roam around the woods! I highly recommend Anita’s property. We can’t wait to come back and stay there again soon.

Great campsite with lovely solitude in a very nice stand of trees on a hill. The campsite is near to the new river state park. Only issue is a steep road in (as mentioned by hosts) be sure to have a 4wd or awd car. Highly recommend!

We truly enjoyed our stay on Anita’s property! The reviews are right- it does feel like you are dropped in the PNW! Beautiful tree cover and pine needle pad for a tent. Plenty of room for our tear drop trailer or small RV! We got lucky and prefer private campsites - this was exactly that. I believe the host does share the property at times with campers. We would absolutely stay again and loved how close the space was to West Jefferson and the river!
