This spot is one of the quietest, most private, and serene HipCamp sites we've stayed at! Brian stopped by when we first arrived to answer any questions and give us directions to various sites on the property and the area. I wish we'd have had another day just to explore...but there's always next time!
Multiple state parks and New River Gorge National Park and Preserve are all within reasonable distances. Just mind the very narrow roads until you get to the bottom of the hill. Admittedly I was thinking thin and holding my breath while pulling our trailer for a good bit of it!
If you plan to stay at this spot...you really should have 4WD. It's steep, and you'll burn through the grass if there's even a hint of moisture.
Could not say enough about how gorgeous this site is. It was so peaceful and a family of blue jays stayed with us. The host was great when we put a request through to change days.
The site was very easy to find with google maps and SO isolated. A herd of cows was nearby which I loved. The outhouse was perfectly clean as well.
If we are in the area again, we would come back without hesitation.
Lovely site! Would definitely return. Leaves had fallen and we could see the sunrise and sunset through the trees. Lots of private space - our dog had the time of her life haha. Our two 19ft travel trailers had lots of room. Great for star gazing! Definitely recommend!
Loved the space and the environment. Brian was great and responsive. We would definitely come back!
