Bell Tent at Cedar Grove
Beautiful Semi-primitive spot
Grabbed the dome tent spot with three friends this past weekend and had an excellent time! If you bring another air mattress it’s excellent accommodations for that size group. The hosts were friendly and helpful, they were present for any concerns or questions but largely hands-off. The spot is fairly private and peaceful, it’s in a great big field (perfect for stargazing, and boy are there stars out here) bordered by woods with a nice creek at the base of the hill to the south. Town is a short drive away, and there are lots of outdoor things to do and see within an hour’s drive.
We all fully recommend this spot. The tent was cozy. As long as you aren’t bothered by a lack of electricity and potable water (and cell reception for some of us) you’re in for a real lovely time here!

The creek is lovely and the mountain views are beautiful. The property is a little smaller than I pictured based on the photos and the campsites are not far from the road. You can see and hear the road. Also, PLEASE NOTE there are no quiet hours at this Hipcamp….. an attractive policy to those that like to bring speakers camping and play loud music the whole time. This was the case when we were there, the next campsite over from us essentially played music 24 hours a day. This was hard…. Far from the peaceful weekend in the outdoors we were looking for. Ned was very friendly and has a lot of knowledge about the area.

Beautiful site! My sister and I had a great three days on their property and surrounding area.

Ned was a perfect host; he gave perfect directions and met us in the driveway to direct us to our site. The site was flat and mowed. it was perfectly quiet for the night. there was firewood at the site for us to use, idk if Ned put it there or the last camper left it, but it was a nice surprise. HIs provided outhouses were a bit scarry to us, so we just popped up our own tent & porta potty. we only stayed the night because it was so close to the hike we were doing the following day. The Dragons Tooth. Will definitely stay again when we plan to do the other hikes in his area.

The property was beautiful. Plenty of space for yourself. Perfect getaway for a weekend with friends. Already booked the same time next year.

Spent one night car camping at Ned’s property. It’s a lovely plot nestled between the mountains and Ned was working out in the front, greeting me warmly. I primarily used my car for set up so I didn’t really use the campsite extensively especially with early sunsets, but the fire ring and picnic table were very clean and Ned has many resources upon request to help you have a comfortable time.
I appreciated his knowledge on the area and hope to return to the Blue Ridge area another time.
