Small but wonderful campground that sits right next to a trout stream. Definitely the place to go if you just want to get away from it all!

Quiet and cute campground off the beaten path. One of my favorites!!!

Small campground .

Delayed Harvest trout stream , well stocked in spring, larger fish stocked in fall, October I think . Probably 2 - 3 miles of good fishable water . Beautiful 100 yr old church across from the camp ground .

Great place on a Blue Ribbon Trout stream 

We had two tents spots on a great grassy campsite. Quiet and calm. Any outside noise is washed away by the stream.  Good bathhouse/restroom. Excellent fishing on site and plenty more in walking distance.

Look, I live here and run the Campground and I strive to create a memorable experience for all.  Trout stream  runs through Campground.  Short drive to Mt. Roger's and wild ponies or to Virginia Creeper Biking Trail.  Quaint town of West Jefferson close.
