Boley Field Group Campground provides old-fashioned, rustic group camping for those that require few amenities. The large open field is great for groups that wish to picnic and tent camp together.
Poverty Creek is adjacent to the picnic area where visitors can enjoy splashing in its cool waters. Poverty Creek is also stocked with trout, providing good fishing opportunites for anglers. Hikers and mountain bikers can easily access the 17-mile Poverty Creek Trail System from the site.
Boley Field is available for groups of 50 or less. The field has an entrance gate and contains a group fire ring, picnic tables, standing grill and vault toilet. There is no potable water, no hookups and no trash collection. Please pack out everything you bring!
The campground is located at the base of Brush Mountain in a narrow valley along Poverty Creek. The surrounding forest provides shade. The road to the camping area is unpaved and vehicles towing a trailer will hit the ground at the creek crossing.
Boley Field is located 20 minutes from Blacksburg, VA, home of the Virginia Tech Hokies. The New River is minutes away which offers a 'big' river experience.
From Blacksburg (junction of North Main Street and US 460) follow US 460 west for 3 miles. Turn left on FS 708 at the Giles County line. Go 4.5 miles. Boley Field gate is on the left.
Park Address: 4145 Straley Valley, Blacksburg, Virginia, 24060
river, outdoor toilet, table, great hiking gravel road access by forest road.
Great getaway for the city folk. Super place to have a party or get together. Has a loo and great camping spots. Creek and secluded. Rent it from the forest service for a pittance!
The campground has a gate with a sign stating reservations required. That's after a four mile very rough dirt road.
Love the campground. Worked out well and remember there is wildlife. You will see them here.
Fantastic campground. Was there as a retreat with a group, and the proximity to trails and the Poverty Creek waterway was perfect!
