Tina's campsite offers a convenient and peaceful spot, ideal for a quick stop or a base for exploring Roanoke and the Blue Ridge. Many campers appreciate the quiet location close to the interstate, with added amenities like electric and water hookups. While the neighborhood is quiet and safe, some campers noted the steep driveway, which could be challenging for some vehicles. Tina's communication is consistently praised, making campers feel welcome and informed during their stay.

Tina's spot worked really well for us. Convenient location, easy to find, yet nice and quiet. Having the 30A available was a big plus as well on a cold night. Would stay again for sure.

Mixed feelings

6 m travel trailer

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

6 m Class B

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

6 m Class B

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!
