About Campground

Immerse yourselves in a unique nature experience on 60 acres of secluded paradise in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our 3 glamping sites offer privacy and modern amenities including BBQ grill, fire pit, heated shelter, memory-foam bed(s), and solar power only 3 min from the Blue Ridge Parkway. Walk to our on-site waterfall or explore nearby Crabtree/Linville Falls just 20 mins away. Secluded but only 5 min drive to Walmart. Get off the grid and embrace the best parts of camping with your loved ones.

Our land is situated at a center point of some of the best hiking in North Carolina. Less than 45 mins from Linville Gorge, Mt. Mitchell, Grandfather Mountain, and Roan Mountain, and within 20 mins of 3 popular waterfall hikes at Crabtree Falls, Tom's Creek Falls, and Linville Falls. Over a mile from any residences on our own forested ridge, but only a 5 min drive to Walmart for quick supply runs!

Each of our 3 structures were hand-built on custom \~25' x 25' deck platforms in the Summer of 2022.

This was the best experience! We had a blast and loved “roughing it”. It was clean and very well kept. Our host Evan was more than accommodating and was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely be coming back for another stay! I would highly recommend staying here!

Stayed here for 4 nights and loved it. It’s very secluded but only 15 mins from town and just 10 mins away from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The yurt had all the amenities needed. The outhouse was clean and nice and just a short walk from the yurt. The porch was so nice and overlooked a little valley. You truly feel among the trees. I was lucky enough to be able to use the rain shower. Very cold but very refreshing after a long day hiking. The hosts were attentive and communicative and I felt comfortable reaching out if I needed anything. The bed was super comfy and the sheets were soft and smelled great. The propane grill was perfect for cooking. I highly recommend staying here! A great intro for someone who wants to try camping but doesn’t want to give up all the comforts of a hotel. Just off the grid enough to feel like you’re roughing it without actually roughing it. My dog and I LOVED our stay here and will hopefully return!!

Wow. This was such an amazing experience. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect staying here, but it was better than I could’ve ever imagined. This was the most peaceful getaway that helped us to disconnect from daily stressors and reconnect with nature. There was no better feeling than waking up to the birds chirping rather than an alarm (not to mention in THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED) and looking out to see the AMAZING view off the balcony while we grilled our own breakfast. The hosts truly thought of every little detail to make this place amazing and we enjoyed every second of it. We were so sad to leave this little oasis but we will most definitely be back!

Seriously such a gorgeous, peaceful place to stay. The hosts gave me better instructions than I have received for an outdoor stay before. I honestly didn’t feel the need to contact them for anything, but I have no doubt they would have been helpful if I needed them to be.

If you are looking for a place to unwind, unplug, and sit with nature…this is it!

I had the pleasure of staying at this stunning and secluded yurt for a weekend getaway, and I must say that it was simply amazing. Tucked away in a private location, this yurt offered a great escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The yurt was spacious and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space was equally as impressive, with a fire pit and outdoor seating.

The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We truly appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Overall, I would highly recommend this yurt to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway. It was truly a magical experience that we will never forget.
