Property description:
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, and 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 to experience the magic of the Allegheny Mountains.
We offer the same low light level as the International Dark Sky Park in Millboro for excellent astronomy and night-sky viewing.
*Note: During business hours construction ongoing at the center of the property as we build a home.
*Note: During business hours Environmental Specialist, VDOF or USDA may visit to check in on the forest/structures/habitat.
*Note: Game trail cameras in use - they are not hidden and are not for the purpose of video surveillanceProperty description Since Hipcamp called to clarify... we are indeed offering the entire property to only one group at a time.

Easy to explore next to 3000 acres of the George Washington National Forest. In the heart of the property is a new home build site. The parking area at the build site is centrally located allowing for easy exploration and trailer parking. There is over 1000 ft of terrain elevation. The previous owners logged the property and everything is growing back beautifully. The lower road (1/2 mile 7% grade) is gravel and supports semi-trailers. The upper road (3/4 mile 10% grade and two sections at 15% grade) to the ridge is recently improved. 4x4 vehicles still recommended. There are no bathroom amenities here, guests will need to be self-contained, take waste with them and leave no trace. The cell phone service is intermittent and unreliable. As such, we ask for EXPERIENCED campers only as there will be no ability to call us on property. The grocery store, Omni a 5 star resort and downtown Hot Springs are 3 miles away. We recommend arriving during daylight hours. We have a VERY DARK
