Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

Beaverdam Falls, Top of the Rock
No Words
This was my first solo camping trip and I'm so happy I chose this location! Words can't express the beauty of this property! I was so shocked that is was better than what the website described it to be! Everything about this place was great! The host was amazing, friendly and very helpful! The only small adjustment I would suggest is changing the beds because they were uncomfortable, other than that I give this place a 10/10!! I recommend this 1000%!

This was such an amazing stay. My family wished we had more time! 100% recommend - from the swim in the falls to the fireflies at night, it was so peaceful. We hope to come back and are so thankful for the experience

This site has everything we could want! Beau is an excellent host and both this site and the whole property were amazing. The falls and creek were very close to our campsite and were perfect for an afternoon spot to cool off. 10/10 want to visit again!

Paradise falls
Everything was perfect! I’m so happy we got to experience this magical place. The cat tails was isolated and private with beautiful views. It was easy getting around, and the campsite is stocked with just about everything so we didn’t need half the things we packed. We cannot wait to come back and try out all the different camp sites

We had such a wonderful time here and were so impressed with how thoughtful the hosts were with the landscape and amenities. Truly a blessing they allow access to this magical place. We enjoyed taking dips in the pool of the waterfall, exploring the cave, and sitting under the stars at our amazing campsite. 10/10 would recommend and come again

This was one of the best camping trips my family’s ever had. Beaverdam Falls really makes your trip as enjoyable, convenient, safe, and easy as they possibly can while still ensuring you’re surrounded by nature and wildlife without disturbing that balance. From the yurt with a bed and heater, to the grill and fire pit to cook on, to the potable water cooler that was filled when we arrived, to the pile of firewood at the campsite, to the easy, contactless check in and check out. They even had fans, lanterns, books, an extra tent, and binoculars for bird watching. The shared lounge has free wifi, a stove, sink, a shower with hot water, and a toilet. The lounge even had drinks, snacks, ice, and any supplies you might have forgotten that you can purchase for affordable prices (seriously, they had everything from dogfood to shaving razors to lighter fluid). All you need to pack is your clothes and food. I cannot say enough about all the amenities. We opted in to rent the sheets, pillows, and quilts for only $15 and they were so clean, comfortable, and buttery soft-so much so that we ordered the same sheets for our home! The waterfall is stunning and we swam with the trout every chance we got. The cave and rock formations are so cool to explore. They even offer two free kayaks to see the beaver preserve. We didn’t even need to leave the campsite. The host even stopped by to let us know a storm was coming and checked on us after. An absolute DREAM. We can’t wait to come back!
