The layout is specifically planned to accommodate larger RV rigs and the trailers often used by those bringing along their own off-road vehicles for the nearby trail systems.

Met some friends in May 2021. Bare bones but comfortable spot and kind host. Drove to Damascus for Creeper Trail. Highly recommend!

Was very thankful we found a place last minute to stop for a spell in our travels. With full hookups!! Wish i had an ATV in tow! Would have been a blast! We have 2 doggos, the only downfall was the neighborhood dogs running free, they seemed friendly enough for the most part, but dont like to take any chances with our furrykids.

We rented a furnished rv for a long weekend. The rv was super cute and very efficient. Would definitely do it again
