www.ontop.camp STATUS of OT DOT CAMP 10.09.2024 All is well! A few ruts and downed trees is all. You’re welcome to come enjoy the mountain with us! Feel free to message me with any questions. October - Gold, Purple, Gold, Blue... wild flowers are making a show. The seasons are shifting. Since the hurricane the leaves started their change. It’s here! Share the open air and space with us. Welcome! Our farm is vast and sparse, focusing on sustainability while giving back to the community. We are a safe haven for animals and humans alike. Situated on and between two peaks of Little Phoenix Mountain range in Jefferson Ashe County. Our sites’ altitudes range from 3100 feet to over 3600 feet, which is a lot of slope and hillside to say the least. As a guest you will be offered insane long views and limited exposure to the oldest registered breed of bovine in the world. Our Scottish Highland Cattle are majestic and fit in quite well in the NC mountainside. Located in the Blue Ridge mountains, we have natural water springs popping out, some of which are tapped to drink from. (10.1.23 currently farm springs are not accessible to guests, shatley springs up the road approx 4miles north has a public spring that we highly recommend) If you are looking for a camping spot that is only 5-10 minutes from town (Jefferson NC or the quaint Downtown West Jefferson) but feels like you're in the middle of no where, then we have it! The Blue Ridge Parkway is less than 20 minutes away and the New River equally close. Looking Forward: July update. We are currently working on provided an all downhill mountain bike trail from 3600 to 3150ft. This path will be double wide for the most part and wide open at first to soak in the se view. Will update when completed! *a ride back up for your bike and yourself will be scheduled if requested OnTopOfTheWorld.camp *firewood is available if you pay on site you will have to use Venmo/Paypal *We do not allow any harvesting of campfire wood or burning of our property outside of the designated fire ring. We use any downed wood on our property for our family to keep warm and to cut and split ourselves to sell to our guest. A “full nights worth” of campfire wood is roughly a 3 x 2 stacked pile of wood keeping you warm all night. Please let us know ahead so we can prepare it for you OnTop.camp

Site 4 Phoenix Vista 3410 ft

Jon’s Hipcamp is absolutely incredible. Nestled in the rolling hills of NC, this camp is jaw droppingly gorgeous. Green hills, think forests, cattle, it’s a campsite you have to see to believe. And to top it all off, Jon was incredibly friendly and helpful. Get off the beaten path and head out to Jon’s beautiful campsites. We’ll be returning soon. 10/10 would recommend!

Site 1 Maple Skyline 3580 ft

We really enjoyed this campsite! The sunrises/sunsets were vibrant and amazing. We loved having West Jefferson and trails close by. The road up is easy and manageable with the right vehicle. Can’t wait to stay here again.

Site 2 Sunrise Oak 3400 ft

One night trip

This was an amazing experience! Such beautiful views and Jon does a great job explaining where to meet up! Only a small portion of the drive is 4WD required—I was definitely nervous since I don’t have much experience driving on unfavored roads. If you’re worried about that, my car is a Mazda cx-30 and did just fine, maybe scraped the bottom just a few times. But the reason 4WD is necessary is because the road is fairly steep with ruts and rocks you have to navigate over—very short and do-able! I recommend this site to anyone. Sunrise was AMAZING.
