Primitive camping

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

Since Hipcamp called to clarify... we are indeed offering the entire property to only one group at a time. You read that right you can camp anywhere on the property, move around, feel free to stay multiple nights. This 235.51 acre property has all of the most sought-after characteristics: close to the amenities of Hot Springs and The Homestead resort, total privacy and protection, beautiful trout stream, direct access to hiking and mountain bike trails on the adjoining 3000 acres of National Forest, and a 60-mile sunset view. It offers over 1,000 ft of vertical gain. The property includes a half mile of Cowardin Run. With generally mild winter weather, the property is perfect for experience the magic of the Allegheny Mountains. We may be on property with our 5 and 7-year-old. We offer the same low light level as the International Dark Sky Park in Millboro for excellent astronomy and night-sky viewing. You can check viewing conditions here. https://www.cleardarksky.com/c/DthtSPVAkey.html * 2.5% Cash Back at Hipcamp via www.rakuten.com/r/TEXASL523 *Note: Game trail cameras in use - they are not hidden and are not for the purpose of video surveillance* *Note: During business hours Environmental Specialist, VDOF or USDA may visit to check in on the forest/structures/habitat.* *Note: Bath County goes under temporary burn ban Posted: Nov 10, 2023 / 10:37 AM EST BATH COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) — Bath County officials have announced a temporary burn ban after a period of significant wildfire danger due to the extremely dry conditions in the area.Breathtaking afternoon/ sunset view and 235 acres of privacy. Easy to explore next to 3000 acres of the George Washington National Forest. In the heart of the property sits a tiny house RV. The gravel parking area and the end of the gravel road is very centrally located on the property allowing for easy exploration and trailer parking. There is over 1000 ft of terrain elevation. The property was logged by the previous owners. The lower road (1/2 mile 7% grade) is gravel and supports semi-trailers. The upper road (3/4 mile 16% grade and 2 sections at 20% grade) to the ridge will need a 4x4 as some areas of the road are washed out from a springs we haven't found yet. Bookings in December - March may have a snow and ice on the road making driving the road to the ridge impassible and only hike able. There is cell phone service at the entry or up the gap and ridge, elsewhere it's non-existent/intermittent. (Hipcamp has a great overlay of cell phone carrier coverage.) As such we ask for EXPERIENCED campers only as there will be no ability to call us on property. The 1/2 mile along Cowardin Run is marked with pink survey flags on Dunns Gap. We will provide boundary coordinates via email. The grocery store, Omni a 5 star resort and downtown Hot Springs are 3 miles away. We ask you message if you are unable to book a date. We recommend arriving during daylight hours. We have a VERY DARK SKY. We recommend calling the Omni Homestead Resort – Hot Springs, Virginia for a day pass reservation to enjoy this the retreat featuring amenities such as a hot springs fed pool, pressurized deluge shower, river reflexology walk and dining and drink service or an hour soak in the Warm Springs, Virginia Jefferson Pools. Reservations are required and may be made by calling (540) 839-3860. *Note: Game trail cameras in use - they are not hidden and are not for the purpose of video surveillance.* *Note: During business hours Environmental Specialist, VDOF, USDA and road surveyors may visit no notice to check in on the forest/structures/habitat.* * October Notes: 13OCT camper had safe interaction with black bear on the trail above the ridge toward the GWNF.
