The site is beautiful and matches the description and photos. It's a large open field with views to the south that feels like a private valley with only a partial, obstructed view of a roof maybe a quarter mile away. Someone to the southeast has dogs, but they don't constantly bark -- i think they just bark when being fed. There is a little light on the horizon from Princeton, but still a great view of the sky and stars at night. It's an easy drive to multiple state parks or the New River Gorge area with lots of hiking options and scenic views.

Nice and peaceful. The owner met me at the gate and took me back to the site. He already had wood there, some citronella tiki torches, etc. It felt private and had a restful time there. There are some places to hike near by and I tried a 6 mile hike on the Mary Ingles Trail in Virginia, but it was only a few miles away.

Peaceful Easy Feeling
This is an exceptional site located in a field after traveling through an expanse of woods. Very private with mountain views all around. The host met us at the gate and led us to the campsite. We couldn't have been happier with this location and we would definitely stay here again.

Very nice place with private campsite. Beautiful field all to itself with nice mountain views. They had a load of firewood ready and waiting for us. Our dogs loved it as well. Would highly recommend!

This camping spot is gorgeous! Beverly and Tom were great hosts and so sweet to help me get settled at the spot. There was everything I could need and so much room for my pup Zeus to explore! It’s private behind the trees but the space you have is wide open for stargazing! I can’t wait to be back!

Surely a hidden gem! Nothing but mountains all around, I camped for 3 days and it was beautiful! My car wouldnt reach the campsite but they had a 4x4 to carry my things for me. Great for Friends/Family.

Tom & Beverly's place was great! We had a Ford Explorer that was able to get back to our site, and we loved being in the open field! It was very peaceful and had everything we needed: fire pit, grill, picnic table, benches. We had three dogs with us, and they were able to run around and have as much space as they needed. Tom and Beverly were very accommodating and their land is beautiful.

I was driving thru WV to Pennsylvania as I have done many times before. I decided to stop for a day to explore WV. I like my seclusion so was looking for something out of the way. I found it at Bev & Tom's hipcamp! Tom was very accommodating as I was concerned (only because it sits low to the ground) about driving my car out to the campsite. I parked my car and he drove me out in his UTV (although its not a far walk). He told me to call him the next morning when I was ready to leave and he would take me back to my car (which he did). There was a tent already set up so I didn't even have to pitch mine! They have a firepit (that you can also cook on), gas grill, picnic table, bench, outhouse, & nothing else but wide open space with beautiful mountain views. Their place is about an hour out from 4 great waterfalls. All of which I visited. In a nutshell Bev & Tom are wonderful hosts, beautiful scenery, quiet, nothing but stars and some hoot owls. I will definitely be back to camp for several days to take in all the beauty WV has to offer! I highly recommend their hipcamp!

Beautiful, quiet, and private place for us to tent camp. There’s a grill, a metal fire pit, chairs, etc. The night was quiet and full of fireflies, then stars, then a spectacular moon. Tom and Beverly were great - they communicated with us clearly and quickly and made sure we had what we needed and that everything worked smoothly. We hope we have a chance to return! An ideal first experience with Hipcamp.

Tom and Beverly were very accommodating and communicated with me before my stay. They are back off a gravel road and long driveway, up on a typical West Virginia hilltop. The campsite itself is about a quarter mile from their house on the edge of a clover meadow. You may have to walk back to it if too muddy or too rugged for your vehicle or the UTV. It has a fire pit, picnic table, shade trees, grill, rustic outhouse and seating. The view over the meadow is the nearby hills and sky. There is nearly no light pollution so you can see the stars clearly on a cloudless night. It was dry when I camped and there were hardly any bugs. Just birds and a box turtle out doing his thing. This is semi-primitive camping. There is no electric at the campsite but it did have solar lights so you are not in total darkness if that is a concern. On the weekend night I stayed all the state parks along I-77 were booked up. I intend to be back if the opportunity arises. Give this camping spot a try!
