Gorgeous land, premium stargazing

Steve was an excellent host. He talked us through the history of the land, provided recommendations for hikes, and even shared fresh pears from a tree on the land. He was considerate and accommodating. One night, we walked to the Flats to stargaze, and let him know as we were headed up there. Later, a vehicle drove up to a site in the same field, but they only used their running lights, not their headlights. We were able to continue soaking in the Milky Way undisturbed. The natural beauty there is breathtaking, and I found myself wishing I had juuuuust one more day to explore. The wifi signal is strong everywhere, so I was able to send photos out in real time. My only caveat is that the roads there are a little rough and require focus to navigate. My little Kia Soul did just fine, but I'm already planning to rent a 4 wheel drive next time to make it easier. And there will DEFINITELY be a following trip - beautiful land and excellent hospitality deserves another visit!

We arrived on a Sunday very late. I’m not sure if it’s because other campers were there before us but I feel like this area has been let go a lot. The host was Accommodating and brought us firewood and for the price I really can’t complain but it seems like it used to be a really great place, but it looks like it is being neglected.

My favorite camping spaces were available. Camping on top of Pine Mountain is Beautiful, and there’s some nice hiking trails up to the top of the Mountain. I have a lot of good memories camping at Wylie’s.

Wonderful campground with wonderful folks. Lots of hiking trails nearby, and downtown Whitesburg is just a short drive away. We will definitely be back!
