Learn more about this land: Fall asleep to hooting owls and the gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank your campsite. Wake up with a dip in the river or a morning hike in the woods. Feel the hug of the mountains throughout your stay, while also having access to Blacksburg nearby should you need it. About the property 20 minutes from Blacksburg and 35 minutes from Roanoke, our campground gives you great access to the “Triple Crown” of the Appalachian trail, consisting of McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs, and Dragon’s Tooth. Conquer these iconic peaks of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains for spectacular views of the surrounding wilderness. Additionally, explore Falls Ridge Nature preserve, Cascades waterfall, and Carvin’s Cove for hiking, kayaking and mountain biking. Or just stay on the campground and enjoy the hiking and swimming we offer here. Nearby in Blacksburg take advantage of the local breweries or Virginia Tech football home games. You can also find Christmas tree cutting in Floyd county, 45mins away. This property deserves to be shared with others. It is peaceful and beautiful. As your Host, I am passionate about conservation and also teaching people about the medicinal uses of our local herbs. I can lead medicinal herb walks upon request for $25 a person. I typically try to meet the campers if I can upon arrival, I am available for questions and can be hands on or off as the needs of campers suggest. I have had campers ask if I wanted to share a beverage and sit around the fire and have done so. I want to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. I love the peacefulness the property offers, and that you’re in the middle of the wilderness but also have quick access to things in town. The river campsites are my favorite part of the property. At the main cabin I have goats and chickens which hipcampers are more than welcome to greet. About the listing Pitch your tents at the campsite nestled along the side of the mountain on the banks of the North Fork of the Roanoke River. As you fall asleep, listen to the occasional hoot of an owl, howl of a coyote, and gentle ripple of the river and creek that flank the campsite. Campers will have access to a private composting toilet, fire pit, and picnic table. We offer two different campsites on the property, so note that you may see or hear other campers on the grounds during your stay. What to bring - Your tent and camping equipment - Potable water and/or water filtration and purification equipment - Fire starting equipment if needed, assuming there is no local fire ban in place - Pets are welcome - During warm months, a swim suit to enjoy the river! Additional details to note - There are grill grates provided but campers should bring their own camping stoves and cooking supplies if they need more than just a grill grate. - No WiFi is provided, and there is limited reception for some cellular carriers. - Upon entry the gravel road is shared with my neighbor and it is about 1.5 miles from the entry gate to the site. When driving, please be respectful of the right of way. Drive slowly and respect the farm equipment. Also please do not venture onto the neighbor’s property other than entry and exit.

Cohosh Cove

2nd time here

This was the second time me and my boyfriend have stayed at this Hipcamp. The property is just as shockingly beautiful the second time as it was the first time. Cohosh Cove is nice and private. We had a great time, and plan to return again.

PawPaw Point

Great July Stay at Paw Paw Point

I enjoyed camping solo at the Paw Paw Point site in late July. I loved the location on the bank of the North Fork of the Roanoke River. I also liked hearing the occasional train going through the valley -- reminded me of my childhood. It was warm out, but the site is shaded and there was a nice breeze. The camp site is a two minute walk from where you park, so folks should give some thought to what they pack to carry to the site. The other sites were unoccupied during my stay, so it was totally private. The yurt site is close to Paw Paw Point. If privacy is your priority, choose the other site. If less gear hauling is your priority, choose Paw Paw Point. There was plenty of firewood provided by David. The outhouse is rustic but fine and TP was provided. I did not meet David, but he was always responsive when I texted. I would definitely stay here again!
