Less than one mile from Virginia Creek Trail and Appalachian trail Wooded tent camping sites with long range views Flat Gravel site for RV's, Vans, and car camping Located on a scenic ridge in the peaceful family friendly community of Taylors Valley, VA. You are also located 11 minutes from the heart of Damascus, VA (trail city USA). Area Attractions: -Campsite is less than one mile away from the Appalachian Trail and the Virginia Creeper Trail which the area is known for. -Rent bikes in Damascus and take a shuttle to the top of the Virginia Creeper trail and enjoy the 13 mile gradual descent down a converted railroad line through some of the most beautiful scenery Southwest VA has to offer. -40 minutes from Grayson Highland State park (hike among wild ponies) -40 minute drive to the summit of Whitetop Mountain (2nd highest peak in VA) Amazing Views! About the sites: There is a large parking area right off main road for easy access. Those with vans and RVs can set up right on the gravel parking area (also an option to tent camp right beside the parking area and enjoy the open sky and long range views. Campers who are willing to walk up a somewhat steep him can tent camp in the beautiful hilltop tent camping site which is located in a grove of pine trees. This is a new Hip Camp listing and sites are privative for now. Enjoy unplugging as you camp because there is No Cell Phone reception here. There is WIFI at the neighborhood restaurant, Hellbender's Café just 4 minutes away (typically open from 11-5pm) during the warmer months. While there is no electricity (or hookups for RVs), there are very few street lights in the area which makes for amazing stargazing. The only source of water is from a temperate stream that runs along the back side of the property for those campers who are comfortable boiling or treating their water. The property is 5.3 acres total, part of it is open former pasture land and over 1/2 of the property is forest. There is a wooden hill top area that is great for tent campers. The back side of the property is steep in some places, but it can be fun for those who want to hike and explore the mountainside.Site 1 has amazing long-range views and is located very close to the level parking area. Great access to your vehicle, the picnic table, and campfire ring.

What a great spot to Hipcamp! Easy to find, beautiful views, and very quiet; with the exception of the whipper-will I would have shot if I had a shotgun 🤨. I enjoyed waking up to her singing the first morning I was there but I could have done without her late night concert! In all seriousness this was a really nice spot. I had a male turkey fly down to check me out and heard him and his sweetheart talking away just prior to seeing him. There’s a nice little eatery that also has ice cream just down the street and on the VA Creeper Trail. I would highly recommend a stay here and plan on coming back myself. Thanks Jeff!

Had a good stay at Jeff’s place. Having a google pin for the address was helpful. Cool views from the fire pit. And not much traffic came by. It was a nice quiet area. And only a 10 minute drive to Trail Days.
