Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

We loved camping on the farm with our dog. The creek was incredibly peaceful and the farm is very well kept. We had everything we needed, even when it was just the owner available. The outhouses are very well built and clean, the farm is easy to get around and our dog had the most fun running around the massive fields.

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

We had a great time although we picked a "weather challenged" weekend to visit. Diane kindly offered us the small cabin instead of the dome since it was roomier and there was a high possibility of severe thunderstorms overnight. The creek was absolutely beautiful and full of skipping stones. Their dog, Bug (I think that was his name) was sweet and welcoming! My daughter's and I look forward to coming back on a less rainy and warmer weekend to explore the creek a little better!

2 nights at Blue Ridge Ranch

This was my first camping spot after a road trip. I must say the camp site near the brook was so peaceful. I could not have imagined a more peaceful spot to stay for a couple of days to rest up. The out house was new and smelled of fresh cut cedar. I have done a lot of primitive camping and this was the nicest off grid toilet I have used!!

The staff was amazing and the land is beautiful!! So fun getting to eat the produce grown on the farm.

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

We went for a short weekend and fell IN LOVE with this place!!!! It is so beautiful no matter where on the property you stay! It’s large with a bunch to do around! Definitely booking a teepee for out next visit! We got to pet pigs and take a tour of all of the gorgeous lakes and ponds! Everything was simply stunning and the owners and workers were incredibly sweet to us! They even let our dogs come on the tour with us!!! We have camped all around the county in a tent, and this was by far the safest we have EVER felt!! Troy was extremely welcoming and so kind!!! You’re missing out if you don’t book this at least once in your lifetime!

Weekend Trip to joyville, camping site on elk creek

What an amazing site and hospitality at its finest! It was great to let the dogs swim in the river. It was a little too cold for me when I visited in February but I will definitely be back in the warmer months. I had a camper but had a tour of the camp and all the sites were very cute. A beautiful back road mountain drive to Boone with plenty of hiking and a mtn bike park in the area.

Nicely maintained facilities and very friendly hosts. We're already planning our next trip up. We loved being close enough to ski at Sugar Mountain.

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

Beautiful place to camp! We were by the creek with an amazing view of snow covered mountains. We also loved having hiking trails and were able to see a nice waterfall. Would definitely recommend fir a peaceful stay or to bring a family to!

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

Did some snow camping at the Blue Ridge Ranch. The host is super friendly - and took the time to make sure I had everything I needed upon check-in. Ample firewood was available and brought to the site. Will definitely return!

Absolutely loved camping at the Blue Ridge Ranch! The spot we had was super nice with some beautiful views! Loved falling asleep listening to the running water in the creek. The folks that checked us in were super nice and the facilities were wonderful. We will be back again soon!!!

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

Outstanding grounds with beautiful views and easy access to fishing, hikes plus Boone.

Weekend Trip to Blue Bear Mountain Camp

Quick trip to the mountains to get a Christmas tree and Blue Bear Mountain was a great spot to overnight. We didn't arrive until after dark, and the relatively steep road up to the camp at the top was a little daunting at night, but the team was kind enough to set up small cones at our campsite so we would have no trouble finding our spot in the dark. The camp staff was very friendly and accommodating. A beautiful view in every direction....we look forward to coming back next summer.

1 night at Blue Bear Mountain Camp

We have stayed here many times over the years in tents, camper trailers and now our Sprinter. Always a good time a Blue Bear! The bath house is clean and a welcome sight after a couple of days without. We will be back soon!

1 night at Blue Ridge Ranch

Beautiful, quiet, clean, and relaxing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Ranch and will definitely be back. The staff was very hospitable and the store was a nice place to pick up a souvenir and for morning coffee.

4 nights at Blue Bear Mountain Camp

The host was most accommodating. It was unusually cold for my trip so he moved my site where I could have electric for heat. The winds were way to intense for my liking so I did cut my trip short by 2 days.

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

Nice location. The communication between us and the ownership was great! It’s a nice area that has some small ponds.

Weekend Trip to Blue Ridge Ranch

My wife and I enjoyed our 6th visit to this location (Hipcamp + Harvest Hosts) and enjoyed the great staff, amazing surroundings, and the hospitality of Blue Ridge Ranch. If you haven't visited here yet, you must put this on your list as the hills and serenity of the valley will make you want to come back often. We stayed along the river at the 'beach' location and at night the stars are breath-taking to behold. This continues to be one of our favorite locations and with many different types of birds along the ranch and river banks you will find plenty of nature to enjoy. One thing we highly recommend is to try the bottled Apple Cider for sale in the general store. It's a perfect treat around the campfire. They also have a really great tour of the entire ranch from a US Army truck that we have enjoyed before. Don't wait, book today and see for yourself what we've known for awhile now; this is one of the best kept secrets for peaceful camping.

Really quiet and convenient location. Will definitely be back.

The property features an established pasture, mountain ridges, barns, and a homestead. In addition, the ranch is home to five ponds (some stocked and one trophy), more than a mile of trout streams, waterfalls, and hiking trails. Together, they provide the perfect foundation for the establishment of farming, livestock, camping, and community events. All profits of Blue Ridge Ranch go to Hope for His Children, Inc., a 501(c)(3) that conducts youth camps at the ranch.

NEW RIVER REDEMPTION

If you are looking for a secluded campsite deep in the woods, you may want to keep looking. But if you want the ease and peace of a campsite RIGHT ON THE NEW RIVER with everything just steps from your tent, then come out and claim your site! Redemption: To repair or restore. To make good. This campground represents redemption and healing in so many ways. Our hope is that you will find much peace, joy, and adventure here and we promise to do our best to make it everything you expected and more! Numerous large manicured campsites in an open space DIRECTLY ON THE NEW RIVER where adventures abound! Up to 4 guests and 2 tents per site. Newly constructed tiny home provides GLAMPING at its finest! The Liberty cabin shares a space with a few tent sites along the river. With the addition of Liberty, I have limited the number of campers to 4. (Exceptions may be made for holiday weekends). There is plenty of space for everyone and the cabin sits above the tent sites for amazing views and privacy. While HWY 16 can be a bit noisy during busy times, step into the campsites and let the peaceful noise-canceling river serenity whisk you away. Forest views across the river with endless fireflies and stars that light up the night! Zaloo's Canoes, Kayak, and Tubes is within eyesight and will set you up with an amazing float or paddle down river. Plentiful small mouth bass and trout fishing just steps from your site.

Downtown West Jefferson is just 15 minutes away with local breweries, quaint restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, shopping, music, art, and a wonderful farmer's market from May - October. The quaint little town of Lansing, NC is quickly becoming a favorite stop of mine. Check out the Old Orchard Creek General Store, Pie on the Mountain Pizza, the Old Orchard Creek Blueberry Farm, and Molly Chomper for a perfect day in Ashe County. The New River State Park is an easy walk, float, paddle or drive away. This park is absolutely GORGEOUS and impeccably maintained, including hiking trails, public facilities, showers, boat launch and pick up, etc. Just a short drive to multiple Blue Ridge Parkway entry points for ease of access to Boone, Appalachian State University, Blowing Rock, Grandfather Mountain, Banner Elk, and the Linville Gorge.
