Rustic Bus in the Trees
My friend and I did have a great time staying at this rustic bus, but I did want to make some suggestions. The directions listed will take you on a road down from the actual location. We spent a good 20 minutes driving up and down the road wondering where this bus was located. We ended up pulling into one of the driveways and spoke with someone that stated he's had multiple people stop and ask where to find this specific camp. I'm mentioning this because it would've been really hard to find this at night. We figured out that we had to go down the highway, make a U turn and then you'll see the address on the mailbox.
The actual location is pretty close to the main house, but offers a ton of solitude and great nature vibes. We got to visit with the cat (Fin) who lives there- he was extremely friendly and loved to be pet. The bus was very rustic, smelling of pretty strong mildew. The fire pit was fully stocked of wood and ready to be burned! There's a ton of firewood around the property so I wouldn't worry about buying wood. We went into Fincastle and Daleville to have drinks and food. Overall, this was a very cute and very rustic place to stay.

Well planned out design!
The land was perfectly situated between Roanoke and the state parks! The bus had everything I needed and the posting was accurate to the description. Scott was very helpful and accommodating- I ran out of cooking gas and he went to the store and got some for me right away!
I felt safe as a solo female traveler!

Camping on a bus
Absolutely loved the bus! Very cool and unique experience. Plenty of space, lighting, and had want you needed. A/C was super cold!! Having a toilet inside the bus and running water was amazing. Using the host shower was not a problem. Host was friendly and helpful! I would highly recommend booking.

Blue Bird Bus
We needed a place to stay for a night, seen this cool bus and decided to book! First, it’s not that easy to find the spot. Nothing a simple sign won’t fix though. I didn’t realize that the bus sits right next to the host’s home. So this isn’t really that private for those that want a secluded feel. We’re all down for low thrills camping, but this seemed just a little under loved lacking that rustic charm we were hoping for. I don’t know if it’s been awhile since someone stayed but the appliances and amenities were very dusty and not clean. Especially the chairs and grill outside... I’m not expecting Airbnb but I also don’t want to deep clean things In order to use them. I much rather it not be offered at all. The listing say it sleeps two! Unless the other person is a child and can fit in one of the sitting areas , it’s hard to see how two ppl can sleep and comfortably. And if it was a way to create another bed, there were no instructions. Even though there was AC, it still needed better ventilation for air quality, cooking and the bathroom. I wanted to love this place. Still cool to be able to say we stayed in a vintage bus!
