Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Welcome to Walker Creek base camp. You can use this beautiful secluded creek side campsite as your base camp for all of the many adventures waiting for you in Giles County Virginia. Or feel free to jump in the creek, dip your toes, go fishing, take out the kayaks, hang out in a tube, or just sit and enjoy the campsite. We offer a fire pit, firewood, 2 kayaks, and a picnic table at your site. This is the only site, so you will have it all to yourself! The site doesn't have a toilet or potable water, so please come prepared. We can easily fit a truck camper, truck top tent, small tear drop trailers, overland trailer, or Class B, C, campers You're also welcome to tent camp!The adventures Giles County has to offer includes:
Walker Creek: At the campsite we offer two kayaks, a fire pit, firewood, and a picnic table. The creek is great for fishing or relaxing on a tube.
The Appalachian Trail: 50 miles of the AP runs through Giles. I highly recommend hiking Angels Rest mountain. The view at the top is Instagram worthy.
The New River: Guided fishing trips, kayak and canoe trips, tubing, or fishing from the river bank. There are also numerous boat landings located throughout the county for your boat if you bring it along. I recommend a guided musky float for a real adventure.
Big Stoney Creek: Trout fishing the stunning Big Stoney Creek is a must. Located in the Jefferson National forest, this stocked trout stream is second to none.
The Cascades: A 4-mile round trip hike meanders along this shaded mountain creek to a gorgeous 66-foot waterfall. Located in the Jefferson National Forest there are two different routes to the falls. I suggest the creek side trail. You’ll thank me for it.
Mountain Lake Resort: This gorgeous mountain top resort is where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed. So for a scenic ride to the resort, a fantastic dinner, and a little nostalgia I recommend visiting Mountain Lake.
Castle Rock Golf Course: Located in Pembroke, VA, the golf course has 18 holes that offer a challenge to even a scratch golfer.
Dining: A number of quality restaurants are located in our county. My recommendations are: The Palisades, Papas Pizzeria and Subs, La Barranca Mexican Grill, and Mountain Lake.
All these adventures are no more than 20 minutes away from the campsite.
