Primitive/ off-grid camping along the beautiful Smith River in Henry County Virginia. Tents, truck bed, car top, and pop up campers can be accommodated. Anything larger will not make the turn, so no RVs, camping trailers or 5th wheel campers can be brought. There are no water or electric hookups or dump services. Toilet facilities provided, but no shower facilities available. Easily accessible entry/exit point for kayaking or canoeing. Hiking, fishing, biking paths located within 10 miles of campground. No more than 2 parties will be on the property at one time, so you have plenty of peace and quiet in seclusion. Surrounded by woods, backed by a small stream, it's a perfect getaway from all the noise. Cell signal is extremely limited at the campsites. Canoe and kayak available for use while camping. Limited transportation available for drop-off/pickup for river trips, depending on host availability. Well behaved pets are welcome. This is primitive camping. You may encounter wildlife such as, but not limited to bees, bears, venomous snakes, coyotes, and possible a Sasquatch. Please be prepared for all possibilities, be respectful of their home, and don't be stupid.
