This campsite offers a peaceful setting right on the river, perfect for those looking to unwind with nature. While many guests appreciated the beautiful views and the accommodating host, some were surprised by the location being in a backyard and noted the presence of trash and noise from nearby trains. The site provides basic amenities, including a bathroom and kitchenette, but some visitors felt the setup was unconventional and lacked privacy. Overall, it's a budget-friendly option for those who prioritize location over luxury.

Can’t wait to go back! I like good people and Teeya and Matt fit the bill. Not a 5 star resort but a nice solid place to chill and refresh. Close to anything you may need. The place was as advertised.

When you think you’ll camp at a campground then you’ll be disappointed.
You’re in somebody’s backyard and you have no clue who’s going in and out the building where you can take your shower.
It felt insecure, not safe.

Can’t beat being right on the river, super reasonably priced, and most importantly, Teeya was a knock-out-host. Me and my girlfriend went for our anniversary and our stay here will be one of the most memorable parts of the entire trip. Teeya got us in when we were scrambling at 7:30pm day of with no plan and nowhere to stay. Couldn’t recommend this spot more!

Good option for the low price.
I feel like for the price you're paying, you are getting a nice spot to get some rest for the night. It's a peaceful spot right on the river. If it was just me, or even me and a buddy, we probably would have been fine, no complaints. However, the owner was busy and didn't get around to do any yard maintenance so the overall feeling was uninviting. Sitting in high grass and weeds at the fire pit seems to take away from the chill experience we were hoping for. My girlfriend is sensitive to smells, especially cigarettes, and the shack had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke. For that reason we actually didn't end up staying in the shack, but because it was so reasonably priced we didn't feel too set back by having to find a last minute hotel in Beckley for the 2 nights we were in the area. Overall though, I would consider the shack as a viable option for a cheap stay on the south end of the park. The owner was communicative and friendly. I felt bad that we didn't end up using the shack, but it just wasn't what we ended up wanting after a long drive and spending the day exploring the park.

Must see view of mountains & river!
Tent
This was my first time using hipcamp and the experience was even better than I imagined! The bathroom shack was absolutely adorable and convenient. The location! How unassuming from the front of the property but that view over the river and mountains (from the back of the property) was one of the most emotional experiences I have ever had with nature. I was blessed with a light show over the mountains (lightning/ dry lightning?) that I have only previously experienced on a tv screen. In the morning the fog covered the mountaintops and made it appear as if the mountains stretched into the clouds. Truly beautiful! My host was super responsive, very accommodating and went above and beyond to assure my comfort. We were hoping to meet but she had a sick kiddo, which we mamas know, come first! Definitely will be planning to make another stop here for another opportunity to meet my host and enjoy her wonderful property!

Stayed here one night with a friend, and we loved it! The shack is so cute with a fridge and heating. The views were amazing, especially in the morning. Would definitely stay here again!

Still a great site
Stayed here for my second time, just as impressed as I was after my first visit. The land is close to the National Park with proximity to and a beautiful view of the New River. With the heater and fan within the shack any temperature for sleeping can be found. The cots are comfortable and the bathroom is clean. Met the host this trip and she was very nice and accessible. There are chairs and a fire pit along the bank of the river that provide a wonderful sunset experience. Just know once the sun goes behind the mountains on the other side of the gorge it can get chilly, even on a warm day.
I will continue to heavily recommend this site and plan to return.

Best (budget) camping ever
All around 10/10 for the price you are paying. A bed to sleep on, solid roof over your head, and a bathroom with a shower. Can’t complain about that. It’s really close to Hinton and some really neat hiking trails. The host is kind and open.
Only complaint that can be brought up is the railroad that passes right by the property a few times during the night but is nothing more than a minor annoyance. Gotta love trains.
The view and direct river access is to die for. Watching the sunset over the mountains and looking at the river right infront of us was amazing.
Sure it’s a little unconventional. But I fully plan to return and have already recommended this site to others.

Teeya is great with communication, friendly, and flexible. She even reached out to see when I would be coming so the heater had time to warm the place!

i almost died
I didnt get to use the shack but for less than an hour before the host came knocking on my door. My boyfriend and I were taking a nap, but she invited us to join her and her group going down the river. We had plans of renting a boat (raft) Sunday, which she was aware of, but we briefly discussed it among ourselves, didnt want to be rude to the host, and hesitantly said yes. So we were invited with her group of people, all of whom had inflatable kayaks, paddles, and life jackets. The host tells us she is sticking my bf and I on inflatable tubes, and we will be fine. We were not given any life jackets, and no way to steer the tubes, no paddles. The most riddiculous thing, once we got into the water she was telling us to stay in the middle, then once we struggled to the middle, using our hands to paddle, her and the whole group pulled off to the side of the river to swim and hang out, at a location that was IMPOSSIBLE for us in the tube to get to before passing them by. So we kept going downriver. Well, the worst thing imaginable happened to me. My tube popped going over a larger rapid, and sank completely in less than 10 seconds I got all banged up on the rocks and almost drowned. My bf saved my life.She ruined our vacation, being irresponsible and inviting us to go do something without giving us the proper safety equipment, and making it impossible for us to navigate in the waters. She also said she was up partying till 5 am that very day, hungover.

Amazing view!
It was a peaceful stay with the morning fog settled in on the cliffs across the river. The sound of the water flowing was beyond relaxing. She was quick to respond and offer answers on things. Definitely looking at a stay again next time we aim to be in the area again.

The post is very misleading. What you don’t realize is that you are driving through a semi sketchy street and pull up to what looks to me an uncared for/abandoned home with several other homes surrounding it. There are security cameras EVERYWHERE. It feels like you have ZERO privacy. I felt very uncomfortable staying here and I wasn’t even alone. I would have packed up and left if there were other places available but being in the area for a festival left little vacancy anywhere for a decent price. I had asked the host prior to booking if this was in the backyard of a home and they said no it was a shed used for storage. I feel very mislead by this. I would NEVER have booked this site if I had known there was absolutely zero privacy and it was in the middle of a residential road.
Also bring headphones/earplugs there is a train that constantly drives through.
The host showed up randomly at 9pm. We were not notified ahead of time that she was going to drop by. I had to ask where the bathroom was since it was not told ahead of time.

It was a gorgeous spot with a beautiful view of the river, the shack was quiet and very warm inside with the heater they had running. I can definitely say I was not cold while sleeping. My biggest complaint was the bugs but it’s the outdoors, what are you gonna do about bugs? All in all I had a nice time and it was a lovely spot.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful place

Hinton is a hidden gem, and this spot is the perfect place to take in the area's natural beauty. The shack is surprisingly cozy and has everything you'd need, and its location close to Hinton and Bluestone State Park make it a great jumping off point for all the region has to offer. Highly recommend.

The views at this location were lovely. It was also extremely close to the New River Gorge NP, which was our destination. We also appreciated having access to a toilet, shower, and electricity.

The shack was what is expected. The set up is odd and a little confusing and had other guests set up tent very clise to the shack making the outside space unavailable to us.

Teeya is a friendly and attentive host. The shack was comfy. The detached full bathroom was convenient. Parking was close to the two buildings. And the mountain view was gorgeous! Already thinking about my next stay.

The host called at 5:45 pm the day we were supposed to arrive to say she hadn’t mowed the grass. It was definitely long. There are quite a few cameras on the property. I understand it helps the owner see what’s going on, but it felt a little off putting. If I was staying here alone, I would have left and found somewhere else to pitch my tent. The views were really great though.

My stay at New River was very peaceful & quiet. It’s a no frills little shack with a cot but it was a nice stay if your not looking for anything fancy. I think there could be a few amenities added easily that would improve the experience but it looks like they are starting some renovations. The location is wonderful if your planning to head to nearby parks & new river gorge national park. Teeya was very responsive and informative. Overall I felt safe & happy there.

Beautiful location with quick access to New River National Park. Fell asleep to the sound of white water.
The only thing that would make it much better is the addition of a picnic table.

Mr. Buster’s Shack
My girlfriend and I stayed here for about a week. Teeya was such a great host! She was friendly and communicated well. She went above and beyond to accommodate to our needs!
Mr. Buster’s shack is great for those who wants a “home base” while staying in the area. It’s not huge, but is the perfect size for a temporary stay. It has AC and a heater to make it comfortable. It fits 3 comfortably for couples or a smaller family. It’s one of the cheaper ones I found and it includes a working toilet and shower which is located in the “tiny house” close to the shack.
The view is great - It’s right on the New River Gorge! It’s close to Sandstone Falls and the town of Hinton. If you need food, fire, ice, gas, etc. you’re only about 10-15minutes away from a Kroger and other stores like Dollar General or Family Dollar.
To get to many of the hikes in the National Park it will take 30 minutes to an hour, depending on where you want to go, with the exception of Sandstone Falls which is about 15 minutes away.
Just a note: You may have neighbors tenting by you - so you’ll have to share the bathroom and campfire. If you don’t mind sharing and enjoy meeting others, this is great! We chatted with the other guests and had a great time!
Overall, we had a great stay in Mr. Buster’s Shack with Teeya as our host and would recommend checking it out if you need a place in the area!
