Blue Ridge Parkway Lovers RV Spot

Susan's camp was great! The sites were very well maintained with a nice creek to hear the water running. Jim brought us farm fresh eggs for breakfast and made sure we had everything we needed. This was a wonderful place and we will definitely be staying again.

Awesome amenities!

Our daughter absolutely loved playing in the creek at this property and the patio was the perfect place for us to relax while keeping an eye on her. Susan and Jim were excellent hosts and made us feel at home. The outdoor movie theater was an added bonus! Great views from the top of the hill as well and Dollar General is super close if you need to grab a few things. We have already booked a return trip.

Wonderful place, wonderful people

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here in our campervan for a weekend. Hosts, Jim & Susan, have created a wonderfully unique space. Upon arrival, we were greeted with big smiles & a plate of homemade cookies, then given a brief tour of the amenities/hookups & all the neat things the property offers, followed by some great conversations. Everything we needed was easily available & worked well (e.g. electric, water, wifi). Aside from the wildlife & very little road noise, there's plenty of privacy & quiet. The place is conveniently located right off of the BRP between two entrances. Galax, VA & Sparta, NC are both a short drive away. It's perfect for families, as you could easily spend some days on the property & other days exploring the area. We didn't have any with us but I imagine kids would love this place. We especially enjoyed catching the sunset from the top of the hill, a personal highlight. There is some religious (Christian) imagery around that's impossible to miss. If that offends you, this may not be for you but I sincerely hope you can see past it. We're secular humanists/atheists & were a little apprehensive but upon meeting Jim & Susan any concerns immediately disappeared. There was no evangelizing/proselytizing whatsoever. We received nothing but warm & generous hospitality & fresh eggs! We highly recommend a stay here, whether just passing through or looking for an extended stay. We look forward to stopping by again - even if it's just for a chat with Jim & Susan!
