Voted #2 campground in West Virginia by Hipcamp guests!! - Huge Thank You to you guys! Book before 9-15-24 for a free bag of firewood. Mushroom Trail and giant connect 4 game is now open and free to all guests. We are located just 15 minutes from New River Gorge State Park. Corn hole boards and bags provided. Want to see 5 star panoramic views of the Appalachian Mountains? This ultra-safe, ultra-private property is located only 10 minutes off interstate 77. There is only one farm past ours so road traffic is very minimal. Plenty of room to do what you and your pets want to do while exploring on our 60 acres. Come enjoy the view and recharge and relax in peace and quiet. The sun rises up behind the view and lets you see just a little further. It is nothing short of amazing. The sunrise and the stars out here on a clear night are two of the best things this mountain has to offer. It will not disappoint. We can accommodate up to a 35ft RV. The best part is no long walk for the best views! You can park at the campsites and camp on flat ground. Each campsite features a bench and a camp cooktop. Nothing is needed to use the cook tops other than a campfire. The area has many parks, rivers and trails for fly fishing, kayaking, biking, hiking, horseback riding, bird watching, and photography, etc. View stars as only those miles away from any light can experience. The crickets and whippoorwills will sing you to sleep. Google link, trail map, and campsite location map will be emailed the day of arrival.

Beautiful views and the sites felt private. We camped at site 107 with our 21 foot travel trailer and would love to come back!

Mountain Top Views

Incredible views of the sunrise. Clean porta-potty! Rugged terrain off the roads but there is a short but entertaining Mushroom Trail to explore. Close to New River Gorge NP.

The best view camping ever

First hipcamp campsite. We got one of the campsites overlooking the valley. The views were out of this world. Saw the sunrise out of our tent door. The views single handled made this the best camp site I have stayed at. The host provided all the relevant info prior to us getting there it was a smooth experience. Would definitely go back.

We were honestly blown away by the views. The photos didn’t do them justice. We got really lucky and picked a clear night and were able to catch the northern lights. If you get the chance to snag it, campsite 104 has the most amazing view in our opinion. It also wasn’t a terrible distance from the porta-potty. The hosts were super informative and spelled everything out for us. We even made friends with a sweet dog that would visit us in the morning, he did make it away with a bar of our soap though lol. We will absolutely be back 🩷

Well named!

Beautiful views and glorious morning sun—plus, it was easy to find, well marked, and welcoming. Truly a mountaintop retreat!

The directions were great and the host responds back super quick. We got there around 6pm on a Thursday and there is really only 2 sites that are pull up, great view ready. I wish we could of booked a site instead of it being first come first serve but we were very happy with the firepit, firewood accessibility (1st bag was free because we booked in advance so that was nice), the flat sites, and there is a bench at some of the sites and a full picnic table at others. We ended up seeing the Northern lights with our own eyes which was amazing and was completely in full view on top of the mtn. The sunrise was pretty but we did have to go to a higher site to see it fully. We would of just stayed there but there was a power pole on the site, obstructing the view a little. We got greeted by a very sweet dog first thing in the morning. Another great surprise tho if we had bought our dog, that would of ended up really bad for one or both pups. Keep that in mind if u are bringing ur pup. I usually do if it's a backcountry site since there isn't usually many people or dogs. Overall we enjoyed our time there. Pretty views and nice easy camping tho I do wish we could of picked our own. We had no idea 6pm would be too late. Our neighbors were partying pretty late with some loud music but that had nothing to do with the site or host. I do feel the host has put in lots of time and thought and u will get a unique camping experience
