Stories from the community

4 nights at 100 Acre Wood

My husband and I had an amazing time staying on Dave’s property. The property is absolutely stunning and Dave is nice enough to give you a tour if you’d like. We booked the up on top site but quickly learned it was going to be too hot without any tree coverage, and Dave was more than willing to allow us to move to the Bruington meadow which provided ample shade and it was much more comfortable! If you have the time take a drive to cascade falls (Dave’s suggestion) for one of the most breathtaking waterfalls and swimming holes. All in all it was an unforgettable holiday weekend and will absolutely be returning day.

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Our stay at Paddler’s was amazing. We will definitely return!

3 nights at Hippie Hollow

Camping by the creek makes for an awesome weekend. Jeremy and his dog, Dansby were wonderful host. Very relaxing just putting your chair in the creek and spending the day.

Weekend Trip to Sky Valley Sanctuary

Steven and his property were great! We had a decent size group of friends looking for a camping get away for the weekend. He let us rent out the whole property and it was so great! It is right on a creek with lots of wildlife. The kitchens are set up with everything you would need. We will definitely be back, and I recommend you to rent the whole property for your large group as well!

3 nights at Starry Nights New River Gorge

My friends and I have really enjoyed our stay. It was very peaceful and quiet. Brian was very responsive to our questions and accommodated our needs. The drive up and down the mountain to the campsite is beautiful. We would definitely stay there again if we are in the area.

3 nights at Creekside campsites

Beautiful quiet not far from town. Lovely creek sound.

5 nights at Redeemers Ridge Retreat

July/2025 Ive been to several Hipcamps in the past and some didn't meet the expectations that the descriptions were portraying. Linda and John's property exceeded our expectations than any other. They put a lot of thought and resources into creating a little slice of heaven in the mountains. Don't miss out on this gem. Thanks John and Linda, hope to see you again in the near future.

3 nights at Hippie Hollow

We had a great experience at Hippie Hollow! We stayed in a pop up camper and had a great time! It’s a spacious camper near the restrooms which is super convenient. Nice restroom and shower, nothing big but definitely enough. The property and creek is absolutely beautiful. We loved getting to experience the ‘Why not Wednesday’ live music by the creek. Our kids, 9 and 10, had a great time swimming, running around, playing with the cats, and even some fishing. Jeremy was super friendly and accommodating as were the other campers. It’s a great little community camp spot. 10 out of 10 recommend!

3 nights at Camp The New River, Blacksburg, VA

We loved our experience camping here! Hosts are very kind and thoughtful. I love that the camping and swimming area are shaded for the majority of the day. Great swimming for kids! 🎉🎉 Loved it all so much and we will be back!

1 night at 100 Acre Wood

It’s obvious the owner loves his land…my wife couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the trails are there and how well kept they all are! Delightful stay!

Weekend Trip to Redeemers Ridge Retreat

If you are looking for a place of peace, tranquility, and atmosphere to reset, we highly recommend it! This is our 2nd trip to Redeemer's Ridge but is not our last. The spiritual renewal is worth the investment and journey! Nature also brings amazing experiences and "Aww" moments! Thank you Linda for your hospitality and connection during our stay! We hope to return again in the near future!

Weekend Trip to Hippie Hollow

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Amazing Location! Had everything you needed. Plus the camp site so close to the water was literally Paradise! Most definitely coming back

Weekend Trip to Paddlers Creekside Campground

Great spot right by the water. You can fish, kayak or tube the water. Peaceful spot. Portapotties for camper use and trash cans as well. Unsure if there was a water tap available. There is a playground for kids as well. Fire ring and table for use.

Weekend Trip to Crooked Mountain

Our camping experience at Crooked Mountain was incredible. The Floyd area is really beautiful. The camp sites are well cared for and restrooms and showers are clean and well stocked. Camp site #6 had plenty of space for tents and parking. Easy access to the creek meant we could put our chairs in the creek and cool off. Each site had privacy and shade. The country store was an amazing benefit with ice, firewood and anything you might forget for camping. The owners were helpful and kind and so generous to share this space with us. The area was dog friendly so that made our stay even more special. I will definitely return to Crooked Mountain Campground as soon as possible.

Weekend Trip to Starry Nights New River Gorge

We loved camping at Secret Spot! The large, open site is surrounded by mature trees that provide ample shade during the warmer parts of the day. Secret Spot is private and secluded but only minutes from Pipestem and Bluestone State Parks as well as Sandstone Falls. We enjoyed stargazing at night and saw several deer and rabbits. Brian was an amazing host and the site was neat, clean and well kept. Even the outhouse was nice! There was also a bundle of firewood on the picnic table when we arrived. Looking forward to our next visit!

Weekend Trip to Crooked Mountain

We loved camping there, it’s quite nice and peaceful there. Their store is very convenient when you need basic camping supplies or even ice cold drinks! The staff is friendly and ever quick to respond after hours. 10/10 recommend to someone!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Campground at Seneca

We had a great time at David’s land. The grounds were amazing and the creek was such a blast! We especially enjoyed his dogs coming down and hanging out with us. We felt so protected.

3 nights at Paddlers Creekside Campground

Campground was very clean, plenty of firewood that was refreshed Saturday night. Awesome spot right by the river, perfect for our roof top tent!

Weekend Trip to Crooked Mountain

We had a great time at crooked mountain! Beautiful space. A really nice little hiking trail, beautiful flower field, and a beautiful little creek. The bathrooms, although portapottys, were very clean, and super close to our site (site 3). The site was nice and private. Also only about a 10 minute drive into Floyd. The host running the store was super nice and friendly. We made great memories here, and we will definitely be back!

Beaverdam Falls

4 sites · Lodging65 acres · Covington, VA

Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

In a remote valley just north of Roanoke VA, along the banks of Craig's Creek, the property includes mature hardwood forest, pasture, and an 1830s log cabin where we live. We love to share this special place with visitors, and have some basic amenities for campers. The campsites are at the edge of a large pasture and just a few steps from the creek and our big swimmin' hole. Totally secluded in a remote valley - barely a house in sight (but our cabin is a short walk through the woods if you need something), no cell service for most providers, but within a short drive of Roanoke and Blacksburg, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.

Riverside Campground at Seneca

3 sites · Lodging, Tents140 acres · Elliston, VA

Learn more about this land: Fall asleep to hooting owls and the gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank your campsite. Wake up with a dip in the river or a morning hike in the woods. Feel the hug of the mountains throughout your stay, while also having access to Blacksburg nearby should you need it. DIRECTIONS: Upon entry the gravel road is shared with my neighbor and it is about 1.5 miles from the entry gate to the site. You'll enter thru a gate (it may be closed, if closed please close behind you as my neighbor sometimes has cows). Go approx 1 mile the road will split...go up the hill on the right. Continue past the Hay barn another half mile. Park on the left side of the gravel road along the tree line. Another 50ft you'll see a wood foot bridge across the creek. The sites are ahead, PawPaw is first, then Bloodroot Base Camp (bell tent), and lastly Cohosh Cove is the most private. Each site has a sign as well When driving, please be respectful of the right of way. Drive slowly and respect the farm equipment. Also please do not venture onto the neighbor’s property other than entry and exit. About the property 20 minutes from Blacksburg and 35 minutes from Roanoke, our campground gives you great access to the “Triple Crown” of the Appalachian trail, consisting of McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs, and Dragon’s Tooth. Conquer these iconic peaks of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains for spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. Additionally, explore Falls Ridge Nature preserve, Cascades waterfall, and Carvin’s Cove for hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. Or just stay on the campground and enjoy the hiking and swimming we offer here. Nearby in Blacksburg take advantage of the local breweries or Virginia Tech football home games. You can also find Christmas tree cutting in Floyd county, 45mins away. This property deserves to be shared with others. It is peaceful and beautiful. As your Host, I am passionate about conservation and also teaching people about the medicinal uses of our local herbs. I can lead medicinal herb walks upon request for $25 a person. I typically try to meet the campers if I can upon arrival, I am available for questions and can be hands on or off as the needs of campers suggest. I have had campers ask if I wanted to share a beverage and sit around the fire and have done so. I want to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. I love the peacefulness the property offers, and that you’re in the middle of the wilderness but also have quick access to things in town. The river campsites are my favorite part of the property. At the main cabin I have goats and chickens which hipcampers are more than welcome to greet. About the listing Pitch your tents at the campsite nestled along the side of the mountain on the banks of the North Fork of the Roanoke River. As you fall asleep, listen to the occasional hoot of an owl, howl of a coyote, and gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank the campsite. Campers will have access to a private composting toilet, fire pit, and picnic table. We offer two different campsites on the property, so note that you may see or hear other campers on the grounds during your stay. What to bring Your tent and camping equipment Potable water and/or water filtration and purification equipment Fire starting equipment if needed, assuming there is no local fire ban in place Pets are welcome During warm months, a swim suit to enjoy the river!

Why B Square mountain yurt rentals

3 sites · Lodging2 acres · Pilot, VA

Blue Ridge Yurts is a woman-owned company in Floyd, Virginia, started by my mother, Sharon. We were staying at Treebones, a yurt 'glampground' in Big Sur, California, and fell in love with yurts together. My mom said, "I think I could build one of these," and the company was born! She does all the woodworking, using sustainable practices, with locally-sourced wood, and her best friend Kathy does the fabric end of things. I was one of her early guinea pigs, and love my yurt property dearly <3 This 24' yurt sits on a beautiful private acreage off an end-state maintenance road, with biking and hiking trails just a 20 minute drive from the touristy town of Floyd, Virginia. There's a steam shower sauna, a fully-equipped kitchen, and a deck overlooking the mountains with a table and seating. Enjoy!
