Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

Beaverdam Falls, The Cattails

Absolutely loved staying here! Beautiful scenery and great amenities provided with the tent. It’s a little confusing to find if you drive in in the dark, but otherwise no complaints!

No Words

This was my first solo camping trip and I'm so happy I chose this location! Words can't express the beauty of this property! I was so shocked that is was better than what the website described it to be! Everything about this place was great! The host was amazing, friendly and very helpful! The only small adjustment I would suggest is changing the beds because they were uncomfortable, other than that I give this place a 10/10!! I recommend this 1000%!

Amazing!

This was such an amazing stay. My family wished we had more time! 100% recommend - from the swim in the falls to the fireflies at night, it was so peaceful. We hope to come back and are so thankful for the experience

Beaverdam Falls, Sweet Springs

This site has everything we could want! Beau is an excellent host and both this site and the whole property were amazing. The falls and creek were very close to our campsite and were perfect for an afternoon spot to cool off. 10/10 want to visit again!
