Hello, we are Scott and Lynn. We hope you Enjoy your stay with us in our Back Yard Campground! We started the campground in 2016 after friends of the family pitched their tents down along the creek. They shared their enjoyment with us, and we realized how much we enjoyed knowing they were down there camping. We both have a great appreciation for God's creation and decided to open our gates to you. Lynn is a true Blue Ridge native and we both hope you enjoy the proximity to our towns, the mountains, rivers, streams, and waterfalls. The local apple orchards are also amazing! Hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and rafting are only a few of the activities available within a short drive. So, soak it all in, come back home to Back Yard Campground, watch the sunset and enjoy sweet dreams.

Great location!! Quick access to lots of great mountain bike trails. My only complaint is the shower was on the slippery side. Otherwise I had a great stay.

The bathroom was not in optimal conditions to use it, the customer service not good, My son and I knocked on the door and they did not answer, we decided not to stay in the camp and get another one in the area with a better bathroom. I don't recommend it.

Great sleeping above brook
I really enjoyed my stay here. It was so peaceful and bucolic. I enjoyed the sounds of the farm animals and the bubbling brook. I slept really well. Site 3 is large and somewhat private as the other sites are on the opposite side of the barn, but the shared porta potty is adjacent to this site. It rained a bit during my stay and the site seems to drain well. As this is way back behind the owner property, I felt safe here and was never worried about my bike. The porta party was very clean and well equipped, including with hand sanitizer. The shower is around the other side of the property. It works fine, was clean and spacious, but the temp does wobble a bit between very hot and coolish. Property owner told me to help myself to wood which was a nice bonus, even though I had brought my own. The driveway was a bit rough and uneven but I managed fine in my Prius.

Home base for local adventures
This was a great home base while exploring the area. There is a delightful creek running through the area and lots of neighboring farm animals to see and hear. Great shower facilities

Rained Out
Overall we had a good experience. The shower was great! Unfortunately it rained the entire time we were there. I had to move elsewhere and collect my belongings between rain storms.
