Sydney's island offers campers a serene setting with breathtaking views and a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The location is a working horse farm, adding a unique charm, although it may come with some typical farm smells and sounds. While most visitors enjoyed their stay, some noted challenges like finding the campsite at night and the proximity to the highway, which can bring some noise. Overall, the site is appreciated for its beauty, peacefulness, and accommodating hosts.

Site 1 in front of barn

The views were beautiful. Mornings (sunrises) and evenings (sunsets) are breathtaking. All the horses were just an added bonus. The huge pile of horse manure behind the stalls where we stayed was the only downside. It'd be nice if the used an open part of their property to store it away from camping guests. We enjoyed our stay.

We reserved Spot 2 but it was too hilly. We arrived late and spot 1 was open, it was perfect. Beautiful view of the mountains

Site 2 in front of barn

We were surrounded by gorgeous horses, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and the Blue Ridge Mountains in every direction... what more could you want?! Friendly people and clean bathrooms too (no shower). Check out Layne's country store and Natural Bridge State Park nearby. We would definitely stay here again, hopefully when the cidery across the street is open!
