Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Campers consistently rave about the breathtaking views and peaceful atmosphere at this campsite. The location is perfect for those who love nature, with easy access to the New River Trail for hiking and biking. While many appreciate the quiet and privacy, some guests noted the presence of a large, illuminated cross that can affect nighttime enjoyment and stargazing. Overall, it's a well-maintained spot with welcoming hosts, making it a favorite return destination for many.

Nice quiet spot with daily wildlife and beautiful views. Signage was a little hard to see when we checked in, but we figured it out. GPS tried to make us turn too soon into a private drive. We enjoyed our stay and the shared sun deck overlooking the river.

Incredible view! Great New River Trail trail access for biking. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed seeing the many local deer. Winery/distillery a couple of miles away to visit if you want to get out. And did I mention the amazing view?!
