Not for glampers
Michael’s directions were pretty accurate, but would caution that there is a decent length of gravel road up some steep hills before arriving at the site. Therefore, would recommend a 4x4 or similar vehicle. There is also limited cell service FYI so make sure to load a map first!
In general, we didn’t hate our experience frankly, but we didn’t love it either. Here are our reasons:
1 - The site seemed pretty unkept. Right next to the campfire was a large box (probably a toilet?) laid horizontally, with a massive blue tarp over it. Certainly a bit strange.
2 - Sitting by the campfire was unsettling, because right next to the fire pit was a wasp/bee hive, and there were several dead rats in a hole next to the pit. I get it though, it’s nature.
3 - If anything, the plastic boxes that housed the utensils were a bit clumsy. They were also consumed by nature (lots of spiders!), and one of the covers fell off - so there was some pooling water and salt(?) on the floor. We didn’t really care though because we had our own tools anyway.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend the site for glampers but if you’re a through-hiker, or just looking for a night to crash on a road trip (like us) this site isn’t any different than what you’d get in backcountry - though at times it felt like someone’s backyard!

This spot is a gem in Southern VA! It’s way up in the mountains so you’re pretty secluded, and you get a nice amount of land to set up camp. There is already a huge fire pit waiting with two chairs for you to use. There is a ton of space to set up a table, hammock, tent, and more. It was a really great night of camping and it is close to Sharp Top Mountain which is definitely worth the hike. The entryway to the campsite is a bit rocky so I would be careful driving there.

This sight is beautiful and remote. The hammock and the swing were lovely and the fire pit was well maintained but the kitchen supplies were dirty and left in a giant bin with several mice living in it. We had our own cooking supplies so it didn't effect us but I don't think it should be advertised as having a kitchen. Otherwise, its RIGHT off the Blue Ridge Parkway and very convenient if you're traveling that way.

Quiet Campsite Off the Beaten Path
This campsite is perfect if you are looking for a quiet place off the beaten path. We drove in by car and got settled in the early evening. There are a lot of supplies (kitchen gear, candles, etc) located in large containers for your use, along with chairs and a big beautiful fire pit. We saw many fireflies and heard owls in the distance. Michael was very communicative and gave us some recommendations for places to grab food and a drink. (Keep in mind it's a bit of a drive to town; about 25 mins). Thanks for a great stay, Michael!
