Set along half a mile of Johns Creek in beautiful Craig County, Va, our 162-acre farm offers level open fields and shady groves surrounded by the mountains of the Jefferson National Forest. The beautiful, clear creek features shimmering riffles and deeper swimming or wading holes. When the water level permits, you can float the entire 1/2 mile by kayak. The area is home to a wide range of native Virginia species. Down by the water, you might see deer, bald eagles, a great blue heron, northern pintails, and wild turkey. Part of the wooded acreage is set aside as a wildlife preserve. Our mission is to be good stewards of the environment for the benefit of nature, our farm animals, our family, and YOU! In keeping with that goal, we do not treat our pastures with any pesticides, herbicides, or manufactured fertilizers. Whether you prefer car camping or want to leave your wheels behind, we have the perfect place for you to unwind and kindle your sense of wonder at the marvels of nature. We have great spots for individual campers, all the way up to groups of 25. Fresh well water is available by the farm house, and you're only 25 minutes from town for supplies. We do keep a few provisions on hand, such as camper-friendly foods, hygiene needs, batteries, flashlights etc. Depending on availability we might have farm fresh eggs from our own chickens. And by prior arrangement we may be able to provide home-cooked meals. Covered fire pits can be used when conditions allow. Firewood should be gathered from the property or purchased at the farmhouse. No outside wood is permitted due to the potential spread of invasive species. You may also contract for porta potty services for larger groups. The area has much to offer: the Appalachian Trail crosses nearby, the New River is 30 minutes away, you can be in Blacksburg or Mountain Lake in 40 minutes, and summer blueberry picking is just the next valley over. Hike to beautiful waterfalls, Fenwick Mines, or Dragon's Tooth, all within 35 minutes. Mountain bike on unpaved forest roads...the 15-mile Tub Run Road starts right below the farm! At this time, we do not take bookings for specific sites. We will work with you to select the perfect spot based on your preferences, vehicle type, and anticipated weather/conditions.Relax by the 30' wide creek, swim or paddle when conditions are right, or watch wildlife. Hike the bank, head up on foot or on your bike to the extensive nearby fire roads in the Jefferson Forest. Lay back on a blanket at night to stargaze-- conditions are great here for observing meteor showers! Join your hosts around the fire pit to roast marshmallows and maybe pick a few tunes if you are musically inclined.

Absolutely beautiful spot, so relaxing, the worst part was the long road to get there and the lack of cell signal, but other than that everything was great, the host was very kind and helped with anything I needed, and her dogs were very sweet.

Dawna’s property was amazing! We didn’t get too explore too much as we were out for majority of the time, but it was very peaceful and quiet. The creek nearby was somewhat chilly, great for a hot summer day! Tons of wildlife to see also. Dawna was very hospitable and accommodating to us the whole time we were there, thanks again! Overall 10/10.
