Campers consistently find this site a serene escape with spacious, clean facilities and beautiful natural surroundings. Visitors appreciate the friendly hosts, the availability of firewood, and the peacefulness of the area, though the lack of cell service is noted. The site's proximity to Grayson Highlands and the charming town of Independence adds to its appeal, making it a popular choice for a quiet getaway. Some caution about navigating the access road is advised, but the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.
Summary AI-generated from real reviews
We had a great stay at this campsite! The sites were spacious, well-prepped, and easy to access. We loved the firepit (even though we used our gas one due to the rain), and appreciated the reasonably priced firewood available on-site. The electric hookup was a big plus, and the nearby creek added a nice touch to the peaceful surroundings. The outhouse was impressively clean and odor-free. While there's no potable water or cell service, we knew that ahead of time and came prepared. If water were available, it would’ve been perfect. The hosts were hands-off but clearly put effort into maintaining the area. Would definitely recommend!

We always love coming here. It's secluded, beautiful, safe, and easy! The owners are so kind and put a lot of love into the site and their land.

Very nice and quiet spot with a friendly host. There is no cell service (AT&T) but there is WiFi available near the host’s house. 10/10 experience.

This was hands-down the best HipCamp we’ve ever stayed at—and we’ve visited quite a few! Before our trip, I reached out to the host with a few questions, and they replied promptly. The directions provided were clear and made finding the site super easy. Once we arrived, we were impressed—the site was spacious, spotless, and even better than advertised.
The picnic table, fire ring, and outhouse were all in excellent condition and very clean. There was plenty of chopped firewood available for purchase (via Cash App or cash), which was super convenient. We especially loved the little creek nearby—it was the perfect spot to soak our feet after a full day of hiking at Grayson Highlands.
One tip: download your map in advance, as there’s no cell service in the area. The host does provide a WiFi password you can use near their home, but it’s really just for sending the occasional text—which we actually loved. It gave us the chance to truly unplug and unwind.
If you need supplies, the town of Independence is about 20 minutes away and has a grocery store and a few restaurants.
All in all, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We’ll absolutely be recommending this site to friends—and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Honestly, there’s not a single thing we’d change!

The site was very quiet. Went to sleep overcast woke up to sooo many stars. Jeanie was very responsive. Her suggestion to download the map was on point. This is a great place to disconnect .

Loved staying here. The area was beutiful clean and quiet. We stayed at site 1. Site 2 was closed by but the way it was layed out it still gave a lot of privacy.
The fire wood was also near by and there was a lot, there is a little cash box next to the wood to pay so it was avery easy transaction.
The owner was very kind and sweet she made sure we had enough fire wood and brought us more when it got low.

Cute and quiet little place. My kids enjoyed the little stream and we had a great time roasting marshmallows at the campfire. I’d recommend this to any of my biker friends that are looking for an easy place to set up camp.

Jeanie's campsite was exactly what we needed after a 30 mile backpacking trip in Grayson Highlands. We used "instant book" to book the same day and Jeanie welcomed us with a smile, warm hospitality, and some free firewood. Woo!
This site is spacious and flat with tons of room to spread out. It's also a perfect spot for stargazing! Be sure to check out the nude beach on the property. ;)
Thank you for sharing your property with us, Jeanie!

The spot was perfect! The only thing is you do not have cell reception there, but other than that it was a nice piece of property and you get to be one with nature. Will definitely go back.

Not a great option for trailers

The route in was narrow and steep. A little too long and precarious for a trailer. The grass areas was not great. Sharp farm debris and thorny branches. The electric was not grounded so we could not use it.

Very private, peaceful, and remote. We had excellent temperatures, the firewood was well stocked, and the area was well kept. Would stay here again if my travels take me in this area in the future. Just be aware that this area doesn’t have much, if any cell signal, and it’s best suited for those that prefer primitive camping.

This is by far my new favorite camp site! Jeanie’s land is beautiful, clean, and quiet. It’s the perfect weekend escape. My husband and I camped in our van with our dog. The stars were breathtaking at night. The field and sunshine gorgeous during the day. I recommend booking!

This was a great little private camp spot that was perfect for us and our two dogs. Plenty of room to spread out and roam a bit and the little creek was a great plus! It was a bit out of the way from our adventuring (Grayson highlands) but the drive is too pretty to really knock it for that. There is a firewood provided and the outhouse was a nice convenience for such a primitive camp site. Definitely recommend!

Jeanie has quite a nice little slice of Heaven tucked right down in Elk Creek. An hour away from Whitetop and Grayson Highlands state park. It is a very well maintained area and secluded! We will be back to explore the area more in the future!

Very quiet camp site. Nice fire pits, outhouse was immaculate, and picnic tables. Not at all what I was expecting (I camp a lot) but glad I went. Directions were perfect easy to find and you lose service and exactly where she says.

Lovely primitive site w a few surprises. Wildflower blooms abound in the field where wild bunnies hop around along w songbirds singing and at dusk hundreds of fireflies put on a dazzling show.

Beautiful property, cell service drops off about 20 minutes away, but that is the idea of a “getaway”. I solo camped in my car to enjoy some fishing on the New River nearby. It was a great experience and the campsite was exactly what I needed.

Jeanie's place is wonderful! She came out to greet us and was very helpful. Small quiet country road close but was not a disturbance at all. Beautiful starlit countryside at night! Cool outhouse and firewood on honor system. Will definitely visit again soon! Thank you so much for sharing your land, Jeanie!
