Private stay near grayson highlands
The Corner at Spencers' Highland is the *perfect* place to stay near Grayson Highlands State Park - about a 7-minute drive from the entrance.
The road up to the campsite is gravel and a little rutted in places from the creek breaching its banks, and the ground is soft getting into the campsite so I would recommend a higher clearance or 4WD vehicle.
I stayed the weekend in my skoolie and the campsite was luxuriously roomy! There is probably room for ~10 tents to set up and still not feel cramped. The site is surrounded by beautiful, towering pine trees, and Mill Creek runs just behind the clearing. Just a heads up, there is barbed wire around the edges of the campsite, and between the campsite and the stream, so watch your step!
James, the host, has a designated fire pit on the campsite and provides a hearty stack of firewood, which was great! I thoroughly enjoyed sitting near the fire and listening to the creek babbling in the distance.
I had a great weekend staying at The Corner at Spencers' Highland, and will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area!

K-9 Heaven, Dogs R King
in K-9 Heaven, Dogs Rule, Room for 3, VirginiaThe perfect home base for hiking!
Larryâs cabin is the perfect home base for a weekend of hikes in nearby Shenandoah National Park! The cabin is rustic, but with all the comforts of home. Larry is very kind and welcoming, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the park. He graciously introduced us to his horses and was very helpful! The cabin is next door to the hostâs home, so itâs not totally private and secluded, but Larry was very respectful of our privacy while being very available if we needed him. All in all, a really great trip! Thank you Larry!
