Fern Creek Container Space
This set up was perfect for my son's and their friend, almost like a dream fort. We slept well on the beds, enjoyed the fire pit, goats, and all the little extras. It was right in the mix of the best trails and attractions of the New River Gorge and I'd highly recommend.

Quirky. Bring water, fuel, & stove
Group trip ·
Fern Creek Container Space
Bring your own water, stove, fuel, and fire wood. Our experience is you can't be sure they will be available.
The owner is growing native plants in a nice meadow. The covered deck is great, we brought hammocks to sleep in. Acceptably clean, quirky decor, and detritus of ongoing projects. An extension chord to an adjacent home powered a flat griddle and cafe lights, not sure if these items will remain or not.
A gallon of potable water was available at check in. The owner filled a 5 gallon jug from a house around dinner time. We were not permitted to refill it at the house and he directed us to a store for water. We purchased our own water for day 2. He brought another 5 gallons for day 3. Asking for water and propane upset the owner, prompting the comment "People from out of town expect luxuries. It's Hip Camp, what did you expect." Our response was "We expected potable water and a way to boil water, because of the hip camp advertisement." He suggested the camp fire or griddle for cooking. Propane was never available. The black propane grill pictured is not onsite; it belonged to a friend of the owners. There was the griddle and a car camping stove plumbed for a large propane tank but no propane, can't say if it works or not.
A flush toilet is in a container. One should be aware that flushing requires walking about 50 ft to a plastic catch basin to gather water in 5 gallon buckets provided. Fine for us, but not the prissy.

We had a great stay! The fire pit was perfect, having a toilet was a luxury, and we slept so well on the bunk in the lower container. We wanted a place to camp on our way through the state, and since we were unsure of the weather when we booked, having the option to sleep inside or out was important to us. It was nice not needing to worry about a tent, camp kitchen kit, and drinking water. Thanks for a lovely night on our road trip!

Definitely a neat space offering a hybrid between primitive and accommodation-filled camping. Location is very ideal for hiking around the NRG National Park. Beautiful, scenic area.

Loved this site, it was cool to have the container to actually sleep in and not set the tent up, made it a really relaxing open-air experience. Having some electrical hookups to put up a fan in the heat was clutch. Tennyson is a great host, very responsive. If you’re looking to explore Fayetteville and the river, this is a great home base.

What a unique space! We loved the off-grid feel while being close to Fayetteville (about a five minute drive into town). The neighbors were very kind and we saw loads of deer. Endless Wall trailhead is walking distance from the property and it's a must-see!
Just to be clear: the sleeping areas are covered by the container's roof, but the other end is open, so they are pretty exposed. There were a bunch of thunderstorms and we stayed dry, but it was incredibly humid after. The cicada/peepers were also pretty loud at night, so if you're a light sleeper maybe reconsider (or bring earplugs!). We really enjoyed being out in nature but I could totally see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

This space was beautiful, we arrived after dark and loved the lighting that made it easy to land. Nice to sleep in the open air.

Tennyson’s container space was perfect. I was traveling solo with my dog and decided to stop off at the gorge to break up the trip just a few days before I headed out on the road. I enjoyed the open area and the seclusion. It was exactly what I was looking for. It stormed that night, as was expected. It was beautiful to watch and listen while staying cozy and dry from the bed. The stars were amazing that evening before the storm rolled in and you could see lightning lighting up the sky in the far distance. Tennyson was very helpful and was responded quickly to any questions I had. The space is right down the road from beautiful hiking and just a quick drive to the National Park. I only had a day to spend, but really want to go back to enjoy it a little more and get on the river. West Virginia definitely did not disappoint. The ecosystem is very diverse and abundant. I found 10+ different funghi while on the endless wall trail. And this was very exciting!! Some I did’t even know their identification as I am not from the area and couldn’t wait to ID them when I was back home to my books.

Had a wonderful time staying here. This spot is conveniently close to a lot of climbing and hiking. The host had went out of his way to make the place have everything we would need for the stay. I would definitely recommend this unique experience!

The set up was really great - there are two storage containers stacked on each other, one being the main living space and the other serving as an off-grid bathroom (with a view!). There is a deck built out from the main container with a nice grill, and it looks out onto a beautiful view of the trees. Part of the container’s wall has been removed so you still get the open-air feel, but with the luxury of still having a roof over your head at night in case of rain. There is a nice little water and stovetop coffee set up in the container, as well as a bed and a couch. It felt very lovely and homey while staying true to the essence of camping!

My stay at the container was perfect. I expected just to pitch my hammock tent but ended up sleeping in the comfortable bed in the upper container (there is another bed in lower!) there is a toilet and drinking water on site, electric and a fan so I felt spoiled as someone who will pitch a tent anywhere. It is tucked in a residential area but completely private and not super close to any homes. Tennyson was a great host, super chill, accommodating and responsive. The location was absolutely amazing. I hit the endless wall trail head early in the morning and had it all to myself. It’s minutes away. There are interesting little bars and restaurants and music Venus tucked into the hills on backroads. The bridge is right down the street and you are minutes from any excursion you want to go on. My stay was a 10 out of 10 and it will be my hub from now on coming into the area. Highly recommend

Very close to the Cuyahoga Valley NP visitor center at Boston Mill and easy access to trails near there. It's near houses, but feels secluded. We had all we needed with the fire pit and comfy bed. The space is really great and the communication with the host was prompt and helpful. Would recommend.

Location! Location! Location! This spot was perfect for me as it was close to town, close to the Endless Wall trailhead, and pretty central to everything you would want to do around the New River Gorge area. The containers are unique and provide a great place to hang out. I like to hike early mornings and late afternoon/evenings, so I spent a lot of my downtime just relaxing at the site, chilling at the firepit and looking at the stars in some of the craziest skies I have ever seen. Tennyson was a great host and met me at check in to walk me through the property. He was also had great insight for all of the coolest places to go around town as well as local knowledge to help you get on to the trail or out on the river. A very enjoyable stay!

Worth it! The surrounding area is also worth exploring, there are gorgeous outlooks all over the place. But the best view is from the patio when the stars come out and the lights go off. The host, Tennyson, is super helpful with anything you might need. We had 3 dogs with us and they loved it too, 10/10 would and will come back to this spot again!
