Peaceful, Private, and Perfect
This was hands-down the best HipCamp we’ve ever stayed at—and we’ve visited quite a few! Before our trip, I reached out to the host with a few questions, and they replied promptly. The directions provided were clear and made finding the site super easy. Once we arrived, we were impressed—the site was spacious, spotless, and even better than advertised.
The picnic table, fire ring, and outhouse were all in excellent condition and very clean. There was plenty of chopped firewood available for purchase (via Cash App or cash), which was super convenient. We especially loved the little creek nearby—it was the perfect spot to soak our feet after a full day of hiking at Grayson Highlands.
One tip: download your map in advance, as there’s no cell service in the area. The host does provide a WiFi password you can use near their home, but it’s really just for sending the occasional text—which we actually loved. It gave us the chance to truly unplug and unwind.
If you need supplies, the town of Independence is about 20 minutes away and has a grocery store and a few restaurants.
All in all, we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We’ll absolutely be recommending this site to friends—and we’re already looking forward to coming back. Honestly, there’s not a single thing we’d change!
