The Fire Pit At Stone Soup

Nice spot with trails, one massive fire pit and another normal one with wood provided, as well as small charcoal grill. Covered picnic tables are great. Outhouse with compost toilet kept clean. Nice and shady, was a bit closer to the road than we expected you do hear every vehicle that passes but there’s not really overnight traffic. Great stargazing when it’s clear, it’s dark as heck out there.

The Fire Pit At Stone Soup

We loved our stay at Justin's! It was easy to find and he had everything prepared before our arrival. He was flexible with our check in and the site was easy to find. There are two fire pits, but the large one is unreal! The grill was perfect for us to cook dinner on and there was plenty of seating. We didn't even need the extra table and chairs we brought. The trails are so nice to explore with the family and dogs. This was our first camp with a compost toilet and let me tell you, it's a game changer! We really hope to make it back during the fall because we know it will be breathtaking when the leaves are changing. Such a fabulous time to unwind and unplug.

Awesome area and convenient location, I took my truck on a couple trails and the area and Justin let me know about an area called Finwick mines day use area, where I was able to fish and see some wildlife. The campsite was awesome and has everything you need for a longer trip and Justin was very accommodating

The Fire Pit At Stone Soup

This is a lovely place to camp. The fire pit is like something out of Game of Thrones, and while it’s near a road very few cars pass by so you mainly hear the wind through the trees and the creek in the background. Another plus is there isn’t a lot of thick, tall grass so it’s not a very welcoming environment for ticks. The fact that it’s a single campsite means no neighboring campers which is also nice. There were only three of us but you could easily make it a group outing with some friends, there’s enough room on the benches around the fire pit and there are two covered picnic tables. Justin came by to introduce himself and he was super nice - rare for any campground or Hipcamp host to offer the firewood for free. Even though we are from nearby Roanoke we found a new favorite breakfast spot nearby called the Pine Top with biscuits as big as your head. Just make sure you charge your devices and bring a big jug of water since there’s no electrical hookup or potable water. And if you have Verizon download any music or maps etc. before you go because there is no service in the area.
