Ancient river, beautiful camp
Another wonderful stay at the New River. Our hosts have created a great space and keep it all in good shape. There's much to love about it. For the warmer months, I'll just mention an advantage is that the sun goes behind the ridge about an hour before sunset, cooling down the campsite even more. But with the silver maples providing shade and a near-constant breeze, we always feel comfortable there.

Repeat visitor. We love the location, it's peaceful and relaxing on the New River. The camp site is private. We have no issues with the freight train that passes by in the evening - it does not blow its horn for what that's worth. Jennifer is a great host even recommending some local places to hike.

Birthday Celebration!
Jennifer's property is the perfect getaway for the week, weekend, or just overnight! Beautiful, spacious grounds with plenty of privacy from the main property.
This was our second booking with Jennifer and a shared birthday celebration. There was PLENTY of room for our vehicles and guests and the site was immaculate! Despite two days of downpour rain, the area was not muddy or too slick to drive on.
Ask about the split hardwood firewood -- available to be delivered to your site!
Jennifer and her husband are incredible hosts and we look forward to enjoying the area this summer!

Great Campsite for Pet and Family
Beautiful location! The dock is a perfect hang out spot. Our dog loved swimming here. The port-a-potty was an amazing addition, and it was very clean and maintained. The hill was steep getting to the site, so be careful with the drive in; however, signs help guide your way to the campsite. A train passes by but doesn't whistle as it passes and is infrequent. The views are incredible, and we even saw an otter in the river! The host was very responsive and welcoming. The site is also stocked with amenities like a picnic table, standing table, chairs, fire pit with grill, and open fire cooking utensils. Overall just a really great place to stay, and we can't recommend it enough. :)

Beautiful spot right on The New River. The campsite is about 100 yards from the home but Jennifer did a great job of checking in but giving me complete privacy. The campsite itself is an almost level riverside location with a private pier and decked out with fire pit, bar/counters, grill grates, tools. And the portajohn was convenient and well kept. FYI the train tracks are closer to the campsite than the house and the train rolled through about every 90-120 minutes during the night by my estimate. Regardless, I would, and hope to stay there again when the weather is warmer and I can take more advantage of the river. Thanks to Jennifer for being a respectful host and opening up such a lovely spot for others to enjoy!
