Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

If a "back to nature" primitive camping experience is what you seek, this is the best place to do it! You'll have 47 acres of mature woods, with rolling meadow, some hills, fresh springs, and a wide creek in beautiful Grayson Co, VA. Best of all, you will have lots of privacy and a spectacular star-filled sky on clear nights. Even though the property is located less than ten miles from the nearest town, here there is peace and quiet. Feel free to explore the entire property and enjoy the freedom to pitch your camp at the location that suits you! Perhaps you like the sound of a babbling creek and will want to set up camp at the flat along the creek; or perhaps you want to see the amazing view from the very top of the hill and camp there...or nestle your site in the beautiful meadow in between. The choice is yours. Expect to hike into forest and through tall grasses; there's even a bit of rock you can climb if you wish. Overall elevation change from the bottom lands to the very top of the hill is about +210 feet. Plenty of flatter land in-between. If exploring 47 acres isn't enough to keep you busy, it's a ten minute drive to the New River access where you can canoe, kayak, fish or swim. Or head into town and pick up a book at the local book shop. Access to the property will require a 4WD vehicle, or you may simply park by the entrance at the road and just hike it in. There are no amenities here, and the property often has vegetation (taller grasses) which you might want to cut to make your own site, which is allowed. Photos show what others have done in previous seasons to clear a space for camping. Campsites are generally not cleared of grass as shown. Hipcampers beware, this is rough, back-to-nature, old school style camping. There's often plenty of wildlife to see and hear although hunting, trapping, etc. is prohibited to Hipcampers. Fishing wild trout from the creek is allowed! These activities are at your own risk; no liability provided for Vehicle/boat operations, Use of firearms, Serving alcohol or Rock climbing.This spacious 47 acre tract was once a partial Christmas tree farm. Today it is an undeveloped natural preserve with a large creek access, fresh springs, beautiful leafy forest, and rolling meadows. It’s only a few minutes drive from nearby Independence Virginia and the New River access. Here it’s a bit rough terrain and all rough camping. Plenty of free firewood from fallen limbs and trees may be used by campers while on the site. The view from the top of this property is spectacular on a clear day. And you can expect to see a wide variety of wildlife and plants. Pitch your tents anywhere you like, in the open on the ridge, beside the rushing creek, or deep in the woods...whatever you prefer for your adventure!
