Dogwood Daze

Convenient, Simple, and Scenic

It's a little tricky to find your way to the actual site, especially after dark, but if you follow the signs and the pictures she's posted on HipCamp, you shouldn't struggle much. I parked at the edge of the embankment in the flattest area I could find (near the large tree once you first enter the open area of the driveway). There are nice views, but you're also somewhat between many distant dwellings. For me, this is no issue. The people who live here never stared long or bothered me in any way. I adventured during most of the morning and day and returned in the evening to relax and sleep. They offer free firewood and a nice campfire area, with a grill and picnic table. There's also a shower house (closed when it's too cold), an outhouse, and a garbage can. I will stay here again if I return to the area.

Beautiful Spot

This was an absolutely beautiful camping spot! There were not a lot of flat places but that is to be expected for camping in the mountains. This is a REALLY good deal, especially as someone from out of town who doesn't have a lot of money but still wants a safe place to land. I was passing through late at night and Lisa was a prompt and a friendly communicator, even though I booked very last minute. It's a privilege to be hosted in Appalachia. Thanks for having me <3

It was a lil hard to find, a sign pointing to the right spot would’ve helped. Ended up on someone else’s property. It was extremely peaceful once we got to the right spot

Dazin’ at Dogwood

It’s got everything you need! Peaceful and Appalachian country. Lisa was a great host! Advising and answering any questions you may have. I’ve read reviews complaining about spots not bring flat. Well ya’ll, it’s in the mountains… place your heads in the direction of the incline, you’ll sleep A OK. Roosters in the morning are absolutely faint and pleasant. Solar shower was refreshing. If you are an experienced camper, looking for a sweet spot by surround trails/parks, this is for you! Can’t beat the price! Would stay again. If spacious and you aren’t crowded up in the RV parks. Again, if you are looking for everything under the sun, just rent a room. Side note: if you go to the National Park lookouts and complain about their compost bathrooms, go home. Appalachia is beautiful and so are the locals. Respect it. Thanks Lisa! Pup friendly as well.

Great spot, super convenient for the national park nearby! Arrived in the dark, not hard to find at all if you follow the directions! Camped during a thunderstorm and the stay was still great!
