    'Possible Property' is exactly what it sounds like. Here, our family of six, has the beginnings of a freshly budding, 10+ acres homestead, surrounded by mature forest - maple, oak, birch, pine, and more - where anything is possible. We officially moved in on 01 July 2022 and already have established our rabbitry, heritage breed of chickens, and are currently working on building out an aviary for our home hatched quail. Feel free to come on down that way and take a look.

    We allow wild foraging on the untouched land. Apple trees, allegheny blackberries, black & yellow raspberries, ground strawberries, and many other medicinal and wild edible plants can be found for your enjoyment and - of course - within season.

    Here on 'Possible Property' we stress only a few key characteristics to life: We look for the GOODS. Good food, friends, and fun!

    Great secluded spot

    I stayed on the “not great for kids” side. Camp host said the other part of the park was better for families and had easier trail inclines. I loved my spot. It was quieter than I expected given how close the camp sites were to each other.

    New Price

    Dyrt says $40-$42. Price now is $56. Decent place. Easy on off off IH77. Prefer this to most KOA’s for value. Nice, tree filled sites, clean and well lighted shower rooms, rural setting, but near a city. Definitely would recommend.

    Scenic, tranquil, well-maintained, accommodating.

    Our family recently had an excellent experience camping at Goose Point Campground. Nestled along Philpott Lake, the campground offers stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere. The well-maintained, spacious campsites provided privacy and convenient water & electric hookups for our camper.

    We enjoyed a variety of activities, including swimming, fishing, and jet skiing on the lake, as well as hiking on nearby trails. The clean facilities and friendly, helpful staff made our stay even more enjoyable.

    Overall, Goose Point Campground is perfect for both a peaceful retreat and lake life adventure. Highly recommended!

    Peaceful and safe

    Utt’s Campground is the hidden gem of VA! Not a fast paced family resort. But a calm quiet place to sit back, relax, feel the mountain breeze. We love it here. We stayed here from May to November. The monthly rates are super reasonable.

    First camping experience in new camper!!

    This place was the first place we stopped along our trip to test out the new camper we just purchased, and this place was so wonderful and fun. We played mini golf, had a view of the lake, and enjoyed a great campfire on our little porch they provided. We truly had so much fun even though we only stayed one night! Can’t wait to come back.

    Rural Retreat Lake Campground

    Lake is in the name

    there is a lake , I'm guessing it's a public lake due to the fact its outside the campground, I paid for a elec./water site and said if it's in the sun it's a bonus, the picnic table and site and the one above me have sun, however my solar panels do not, now if you want water and elec. you either need a 50' hose or extention cord because they are on opposite ends of the pull through , which I forgot to pay for one that might have been closer to level than a bowling ball. still haven't found the dumpster or a garbage can for that matter , pool is not included , again I'm guessing public.it was entertaining watching a poor fella with 2 young boys walk around for 30 minutes looking for their site, I'm in #41 and if you're so lucky to get thus spot , don't follow the signs telling you where the #'ed sites are because we're next to #53 and not in the 40's at all , we are however right next to the shower room ... I'll update my review after I explore thar situation tonight. it got 2 stars because so far it is peacefull with no other campers around, they probably learned their lesson their first stay too. $75.×× for 2 nights eventhough it says $30 a night. taxes must be killer here in Virginia. if it didn't rain everyday I been here and my batteries weren't hurting so badly I'd of just boondocked it another week in this gorgeous national forest for free. PS. don't bother with firewood on site #41 there's no ring. Update after shower, well I think I got Athletes foot just by looking inside, cold unfinished concrete floor, no mirror no hooks no shelf a very small bench and a trash can and on the floor what I could only describe as a rubber webbed mat you would usually see inside a garage. the water temp was OK for me but i enjoy a cold shower every now and again , there's only 2 settings ...yup on and off couple spiders got to watch me get dysentery but they were friendly. now back at camp enjoying the sweet smell of bathroom. yay. the showers and toilets are individual rooms with a rusty slide latch lock. dirty but I can only speak for the two I went into (the first shower door didn't shut) but I'd assume they're all pretty much the same. Definitely not worth $76

    Quiet Mountain Campground

    On the Blue Ridge Parkway, nestled in the trees and mountains of North Carolina, this campground has been well maintained. Sites are ample but the asphalt pads were designed for shorter travel trailers, but include an extra pad for the tow vehicle. Many of the sites have upgraded concrete pads for the picnic table and built-in fire pits. There are no showers in the trailer (RV) loop, but does include a couple comfort station with flush toilets. Campground hosts were helpful and friendly. Sites are split between first come first serve and reservations. Payment at kiosk by credit card only.

    Great spot, private, with good running water hot showers and flush toilets. Picnic table and fire ring with grate, the creek by our site was so nice and bubbling. Every spot was private and maintained. Absolutely no issues and was worth the $20, easy check in, self check out. Felt very safe here despite it being remote

    Hanging Rock State Park

    Cool place

    We went late April on a weekend. The place was pretty packed. I think many people from Raleigh and Winston Salem come here because it's so close. We stayed until Monday, most of the people left on Sunday and Monday it was fairly empty. The park has 5 waterfalls I believe. Some are shorter hikes but almost all the hikes involve a steep hill climb of stairs. We got our workout in seeing all the sites. The bathhouses seemed kind of dated, the showers were very small with even smaller doors that didn't leave much to the imagination. You could see everything from chest up and knees down. They gave you hooked to hang your things outside the door but that would involve being naked in front of everyone to retrieve your things. We had a camper so I used my own shower. Most of the sites are small and very close together. They do control burns often so there isn't any bushes giving you privacy. I'd suggest going during the week when there is less people. We stayed in site 11 because it was one of the few long enough for our 25ft camper. No hook ups or dump stations.

    Tranquility on Reed Creek

    Booked Matthew's place for a last minute getaway to disconnect for a couple of days and it was perfect. You can tell Matthew takes very good care of his place and prides himself on providing us campers a memorable experience. Very tranquil along the water and Charlotte my GSP spent all day wearing herself out between the field chasing birds and her ball and up and down the creek. Opt in for the firewood and grill, it's totally worth it. Upon arrival there was no firewood so I messaged Matthew and a quick response back from Matthew and he had a friend show up with an F150 load of wood to use within the hour. I missed his name, but he was a really nice guy and stopped by the following day to make sure everything was okay and to ensure I had plenty of wood to use. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you again Matthew for letting us experience your property.

    Helpful, Friendly folks. Nice campground... with a minor but....

     The staff was very friendly, I received a warm welcome. The sites are clean, level and laid out well. I needed a quick overnighter and it was convenient. Easy to access of I-81 but that leads me to the only thing that kept me from giving all 5 stars. 

     The campground is very, very close to I-81 so you do here the traffic. A lot. If you are a light sleeper you may have issues with the traffic noise. That is the only negative in an otherwise very nice site.

    Tranquility! You will see deer while looking at the mountains all around!

    We spent 2 nights away from any road with lots of deer and beautiful mountain views! The owner is very friendly and so accommodating! our 40 ft rig is maybe not the right camper for this area but we enjoyed every minute of it! We had a beautiful hike in Fairystone Park and relaxed the rest of the time.

    We will come back!!

    Impressive small campground with clean and well appointed sites. The elevated fire pits are level and easy to use for cooking or just a campfire. Bathrooms are clean and functional. Personal highlights was the view in late fall and the close proximity to the hiking trails up Pilot Mtn. Tent pad was level and large. Good bouldering and climbing Parking at Sites 23,25,26 is pretty level for a truck or camper van
