This was an awesome weekend experience. The cabins were very nice and clean. The bathhouse was very clean and well stocked. The apple and peach trees were very nice to relax with in the yard. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. We weren't sure if we were going to make it there before closing so they put firewood and fire starter on our little porch so it would be there if we needed. W...

A beautiful campground! The owner is super friendly and was very helpful when we got in. The spot we picked out had a nice wood deck and was perfect for our 1 night stay on our way through. But when we're back to see the Parkway, we'll definitely be staying here!

The owners were friendly and greeted us upon arrival. We stayed in one of the cabins. The cabins do get cold during Fall so we actually brought an additional space heater from home. We forgot maple syrup at home, the owners were so generous to supply some of their own personal syrup for us to use. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Bathrooms and showers were super clea... The owners were friendly and greeted us upon arrival. We stayed in one of the cabins. The cabins do get cold during Fall so we actually brought an additional space heater from home. We forgot maple syrup at home, the owners were so generous to supply some of their own personal syrup for us to use. They made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay. Bathrooms and showers were super clean. Water was hot. The firewood we bought was long lasting firewood. We went the weekend before Halloween, so we decorated the inside of our cabin and hung up battery lights outside. My sister and I and her two kids had a great time. We walked two of the trails on the property. The red trail has a giant hill you have to climb up so be cautious if you pick that trail lol. When we were checking out, I notice my tire was low. I was checking one of my tires and notice that there was a nail in it. The owner gladly help me add air to my tires and even recommended a mechanic in the next town over that could patch my tire. Thank you again!! I made it the 7 hours home with no issues!

So you like to camp but your friends don't have campers? No problem!! There are cabins( no toilets) and full service motel rooms in addition to church rv sites and tent sites!! The whole gang can enjoy. Close to several attractions and vineyards includingb15 minute drive to the Blue Ridge Music Center. Campground has 22 acres to explore with hiking trails- and open sky for star gazing!

We especially loved the campsite with the private deck — perfect for relaxing in the evening and stargazing under the clear mountain skies. Another big bonus: trail access is right behind the campground, making it easy to explore the area without needing to drive anywhere. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back again!
