In the shadow of Fuhlhart's Knob in the Blue Ridge Mountains, experience your own private site. In what used to be an Apple Orchard and surrounded by treed hillsides, and just 20 minutes north of Roanoke, this will your new favorite private spot. Wildlife wander the property. Many songbirds. Bear not seen, but they are here. No wandering pets. Clean & quiet. Learn more about this land: Private area at my home close to exit 150 off I-81. Groceries and restaurants close by, 45 min to Natural Bridge, 20 to Roanoke city, 25 to Carilion Roanoke Memorial for travel nurses. Special rate given for longer term stays. Appalachian Trail and city park 5 minutes. Veterinarian 1 mile. Blue Ridge Parkway 15 minutes. Quiet people only please. No sewer, must self contain, though you can dump about 6 miles south at Gander, free to Good Sam members $5 others, or the honey wagon will come to you for extended stays. Terrain is hilly, 4wd recommended for back-in, but site is flat. I will help you if needed! NOTE: There is no turnaround up by my house. Please let me know your arrival time or call ahead for more specific information. *NOTE Significant snow &/or ice must cancel, my private road may not be accessible.* Thank you!*****DO NOT FOLLOW THIS SITE'S OPEN MAP FEATURE. Use only Google maps with my address. ***** For whatever reason, theirs sends you way off.... If you want the firepit or firewood that'd be very helpful to know. SUV owners with AWD will not be able to back a 20'ish trailer in here. Not enough power because you are pushing up a small incline. However, some of you can pull in and unhook and then get out if you need to. This is a private area at my home on 3 acres close to exit 150 off I-81.

Private with 30A & a view!
The site is close to Roanoke and convenient to 81. I was staying here to mtn bike at Carvin’s Cove. Unfortunately, my SUV’s engine, even with 4WD, wasn’t not powerful enough to back into the spot. The road leading to the spot is very steep and you have to maneuver quite a bit. Im fairly new to camping with my travel trailer but this is my 6th trip this year and I’ve never had any other issues elsewhere. I recommend you have a V6 engine if you are going to attempt. The neighbors on both sides were visibly upset about having campers staying there (they both stared me down, and Tina told me that the man next door was especially not happy about it. The spot is in Tina’s front yard and the neighbors yards are very close on either side. I didn’t feel welcome because of this so just stayed in my camper while I was there. While the surrounding area is beautiful, I also didn’t feel that the site offered much of a view. I did appreciate the electric and water. The water is provided by a series of connected hoses coming down from her home spigot.

Perfect Rest Spot
We did not have an opportunity to meet Tina face to face, but found her to be super communicative and accommodating. Her camping spot was peaceful and pretty. Also loved the close proximity to 81… close but did not hear the highway. Thx Tina!!

Convenient and quiet
Very convenient location for a quick stop along the interstate between destinations. Great communication and prompt. Electricity was a plus for a hot summer night. We were offered water but declined as we had plenty on hand. Advice, enter the address into gps yourself, do not follow the open for map option as it will send you down a narrow gravel road on the opposite side of the interstate. You wouldn’t want to go there in the dark for sure😳. Also, there was a nice grassy area for our pups to get out some pent up energy. Thank you!

RV Pad with hookup!
Tina was very helpful and stayed in touch. Having used private RV pads a few times knew what to expect when Tina provided directions on how to pull up. She greeted us as soon as we reached and everything was as expected. A little steep driveway but not difficult at all. Water and electricity hookups were a plus. Kids and us spent 2 great days on our road trip on Blue Ridge Parkway stopping at Tina’s place.

Went well
Great stay! Close to interstate and east to get to. Nice neighborhood and loved seeing the deer munching on the pears the squirrels put on the ground!
