Stony Fork Cabin is a cozy one-bedroom hideaway with most of the comforts of home. Visitors can hike, mountain bike, explore the many nearby creeks, or simply relax on the cabin's private patio.
The cabin is located within the Stony Fork Campground along the Big Walker Mountain Scenic Byway. The Appalachian Trail, Seven Sisters Trail, and stocked fishing streams are all within a close proximity, and the site is easily accessed from I-77.
The Big Walker Mountain Scenic Byway is an incredible drive for viewing the blooms of rhododendron, azalea and mountain laurel in spring, and fiery red and gold foliage in fall. Scenic overlooks highlights include views of Mount Rogers and the many ridges and valleys.
Experienced hikers love the Seven Sisters Trail, which leads from the campground to the top of Little Walker Mountain, then onto the Scenic Byway. The creek offers trout fishing for campers.
The 900 square foot log cabin has oak hardwood floors, a kitchen, full bathroom, and a living and dining area. It sleeps up to four guests with two twin beds and a sleeper sofa.
Cabin amenities include a private patio, plenty of cookware and utensils, a toaster, oven, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. Behind the cabin is a picnic table and campfire ring with grate.
Electricity and drinking water is included, but the cabin does not have air conditioning. Campers are asked to bring a flashlight, pillows, sheets, blankets, food, trash bags, bath towels, dishwasher detergent, firewood, a first aid kit and charcoal for the grill.
Stony Fork Cabin sits at the foot of Big Walker Mountain at an elevation of 2,400 feet. Its creekside setting provides a peaceful soundtrack of running water. In springtime, wildflowers and rhododendron dot the region with spectacular colors, and fall is reliably scenic with its red and yellow foliage.
Located within 10 miles of the cabin, the legendary Appalachian Trail extends for more than 2,175 miles through the Appalachian Mountains across 14 states. It was the first trail to be designated as a National Scenic Trail.
From Wytheville, follow I-77 north to Exit 47. Turn left onto Route 717 and follow for 4 miles to Stony Fork Campground. Total travel distance from Wytheville, VA is 10 miles.
$65.00 nightly
A great camp ground! Very woodsey, and private site feeling.
Great 1 mile loop hike right at the campground. Great hosts, Roger and Jim and his wife. It's dated, rustic but so nice. I'll stay again no problem
So this one is cash or check only. Not available for advanced reservation through the app apparently. But definitely worth the 5 minute detour off the highway. Nice and clean tucked away. There is a little bit of road noise from the only road that can get you there and back. The volunteer host was very friendly and welcoming and helpful
Great spot off of 77. Beautiful scenery and well kept campground. The bathhouses are nice. It was unseasonably cold when I stayed got in the 20s hot showers were nice.
This is a good campground with service for RVs, and in my case for van camping. Of course tent camping is welcome too! Bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot. Strong cellular service is present. Be sure to hike the Stony Fork nature trail. It's 1 mi and passes through a white pine forest planted in 1959 and the trail passes through rhododendrons. Very nice hike and peaceful place to stay.
Came for 1 night, came back for a week+. Great Campground with flush toilets and hot showers (4 bathhouses), located just inside Jefferson National Forest. $20 for a no service site, and they have 1 service for $26, 2 services for $30. The site had a large picnic table and a fire ring with a grill. Driveways are paved into the sites, and it's easy to walk around the loop, also has a small stream running through the grounds. Came in late October when the leaves were peaking, absolutely beautiful. There is even a path through the forest, 1 mile, leading out from the campground. There are deer, raccoons, plenty of types of birds, squirrels, rabbits, and best of all.... no bears. They've only had 1 bear in 3 years. The hosts are super friendly and do a fantastic job keeping everything clean and running smoothly. My car battery died and they even helped me Jumpstart it. Kim and Joe are fantastic! Will definitely be back if I am in the area next year.
