Creeping Thyme Forest

7 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Abingdon, VA
Early settlers of this area were mainly Scotch-Irish and there are several dominant family names that still populate these areas. Tobacco was grown in the area for many years, but now is rarely seen. This whole valley between two mountain ranges was chosen in the 1970's to be dammed and made into a reservoir for a hydroelectric power plant; however, the residents at the time formed a strong resistance, went to Washington, and eventually blocked the development, preserving its natural beauty. This land is within the Jefferson National Forest. It was owned for many years by Roy Light, owner of a nearby lumber mill, but when he passed away, his children cleared the timber and moved away. Since then, the diverse deciduous forest has regrown quickly. A rustic cabin made from salvaged hand-hewn logs was built on the site in 2014 and an alpaca farm was established; however, the owners had to move away due to employment changes. Currently, we are working on developing a perennial food forest, as well as dairy goats, and chickens.

Ted's Wildlife Habitat

6 sites · RVs, Tents90 acres · Tannersville, VA
Once a dairy farm for over 200 years, we acquired the property 16 years ago and immediately started on the task of reverting the property back to it's pre dairy farm state. Working with the Forestry department and other agencies, we have reforested over 30 acres with over 6,000 trees. We have also created a wildlife habitat ( Wildlife corridor) which has succeeded in bringing back species of birds that have long been gone from the valley. Additionally, the pond in the back of the property was dying, now it is thriving! No logging on this property since 1964 and we plan to keep it that way. Just today, there were a bunch of wild turkeys in the front field which is now encircled with chinquapins. We are happy to announce that starting in the Fall, we begin the process of converting the final 9 acres of hay into wild flower fields. This has been in the works for years and we are so excited that it is finally happening! Learn more about this land: Allen has carved out some beautiful sites for you to choose from with awesome views of the western Virginia mountains. Looking for privacy? You've got it here. You get away for privacy, not crowds. Choose  your own special piece of paradise. The property has multiple fields, the side of a forest covered mountain, and sites along the creek. We back up to Jefferson National Forest. This property is really more for the tent camper that does not need a lot of amenities. If you have a small RV ( like a tear drop) or vehicle you can sleep in, we do have flat fields that can accommodate you. Note, there is no water or electrical hookup. We have a nice pond in the back of the property located just before the mountain starts. We are more than happy to hike up the "hill" with you and show you some tent sites with spectacular views. Great for bird watchers and bikers alike!

Under the Trees with 3 Goats

1 site · Tent10 acres · Bluefield, VA
Located on the outskirts of Bluefield, Va., our backyard is located on ten acres once owned by a veterinarian. We've raised goats here for 30 years. Hemlock and black walnut trees border pastures where you can pitch your tent. Wake up to the sounds of birds, a neighborhood rooster, and "baaa-ing” baby goats saying it's time for breakfast. While you’re here you can....- Take a swim in the town’s gorgeous pool, just two miles away, one of the few pools that still has a high diving board. - Bring your bikes and a camera: You'll be minutes away from the two-lane, shady, Wrights Valley Road that takes you by centuries-old farm buildings and fields. You’ll pass old country churches and cross Wrights Valley Creek. - Visit one of the oldest graves in Maple Hill Cemetery, that of a Civil War soldier. Only a 5 minute way away, the restored historic section of the cemetery honors the markers of many black people buried there. The Norfolk and Southern Railroad runs south of the cemetery, alongside an old American Indian trail. At the Sanders House Center historic site near downtown Bluefield Va, you can see the log cabin built by my Bailey ancestors, founding settlers of Tazewell County. - Coming by motorcycle? The challenge of the Back of the Dragon Road is 15 minutes away.Learn more about this land:Either pitch your tent on a grassy site in the east yard with the goats, or under the hemlocks with a fence between you and the goats. Use the picnic table, chairs, grill and portable fire pit. The neighbor's house next to the yard adds a bit of security to the site. Because of Covid-19, I'm restricting use of the house's half bath and toilet at this time, so you won't be able to use those. Click on my name to get more details about my place.

IRON Peak Ranch

2 sites · RVs, Tents88 acres · Wytheville, VA
We have traced this farm's history back to the 1750's when a mill was built on the creek. There is a log home that we know that was built in 1840 still on the premises. The white farm house across from the camp sites was built in 1877. The fish hatchery that is still in operation today was built by the Federal Government in 1923. Learn more about this land: Camp site situated along 3 separate creeks connected by one large private 11 acre field. Tate Run/ Reed Creek/ Venrick Run. The farm house is across the road and the whole property comprises of 88 acres of woods and pasature. The farm house was built in 1877 and the Ranch currently operates with 30 head of cattle and a working trout hatchery. We have traced this farm lineage back to the 1750's when a mill was constructed at the meeting of Tate Run and Reed Creek by Swiss Immigrant Henry Grubb. Camping here along Reed Creek is peaceful and quiet. Located just a few short miles from town it is easy to get to ...but a long way from the world at large. In Short, it is lovely and we hope you enjoy it.
