Great campsite, amazing hosts!
Valley River Vineyards was an amazing place to spend a weekend! Nice campsite, amazing wine, and wonderful hosts!
The location is nestled in the bottom of a valley, surrounded by densely wooded hills. When we arrived the hosts, Jon and Elaine were waiting for us and right away started the evening with a wine tasting. Their tasting portions were generous and they took us through the whole menu. They also encouraged us to play and "have fun" with the wine, and showed us several combinations such as adding cinnamon to the peach wine for "peach cobbler" or sugar in one of their reds for "Country Boy Blush." We really enjoyed the "Gambler" infused with pepper corn, and their Blackberry Wine is insanely good!
Stayed for two nights at site one. The campsite was well shaded but came with a gazebo that we put the tent under and a large fire pit. We'd brought some firewood with us but Jon was good enough to bring us a load of dry wood and used a torch to help us dry out and burn the wet wood already in the pit. Site one has views of the whole vineyard while still feeling private. They provided us wine glasses and a cork screw (Jon I'll bring back the corkscrew on the next visit).
The second night it poured rain for a few hours and we got to share a meal and a few more bottles of wine with Jon and Elaine in the clubhouse. Honestly already planning for the next trip back and have gone through their wine much faster than expected!

Nice folks, great experience
Everything went great. I camped for five days. Hosts were easy to contact and delivered. Nice spot. Shower was great. I appreciate the opportunity to camp there while taking a class nearby.

Site 12 - Camping in the Vines
10/10 recommend
We absolutely loved our stay here for the weekend! The wine tasting is included with your camping reservation and they have some very tasty and unique wines. We couldn’t be happier with the hospitality throughout our stay and the views were great! This is a very small winery tucked into the mountains that may not seem like much but we consider it some of best camping we have experienced in western North Carolina. We are sad that the vines had to be removed this year but they told us they are replanting very soon. Consider this place if you want to feel like you’re camping in the mountains with friends you just haven’t met yet.

Beautiful Camping
The campsite was beautiful! We had a tent up by the creek with a nice pavilion to use for cooking with a picnic table. Elaine has a wonderful piece of land. Her and her husband are the nicest people always ready to help. There were bathrooms available 24/7 and a shower room upon request with nice warm water. They also have a awesome barn with firepits and games too play if you want. They have the cutest puppy greeter too! Dog friendly campsites. We will definitely have to return again in the summertime with our kids when everything is in bloom.

Vineyard Tent Camping
We had a great time at the Vineyard even though it rained and unfortunately a burn nan was in effect. Hosts were very friendly and helpful in making our tent camping experience very enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Camping on a Vineyard
Camping on a vineyard is a unique experience and the hosts are very friendly. I recommend getting a bottle of their wine and their charcuterie tray to enjoy at your campsite. We had a nice and relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again.
