Frequently Asked Questions

---

Yes, we own the entire 65-acre preserve privately, including the waterfall, Creek, & beaver preserve. 

No, we do not offer stand alone pop-up sites any longer. You have to book one of our Tentrr sites, which will allow you to pop-up a tent if you wish. Note: All Tentrr sites come with a pop-up tent that the guest may set up.

Yes, currently there are only 5-sites on the Property, & 2-sites located off the property. Only guests who have a reservation are permitted on the property, not the general public. 

No, we are not an RV campground. We are a nature preserve offering our own exclusive glampsites. Occasionally we may accommodate a small RV van at a site, but you must book a site to have access, & clear the vehicle with us first. Sweet Springs is the best site for campers with small RVs, as it's in the field, having a separate 2x4 entrance.

No, black bears are common in this area of the National Forest, & they are not usually aggressive, but run and hide from you. Since we use mint-scented trash bags (provided at your site), & urge guests to always store there food in their vehicles at night, we've never EVER had an issues with bears at any of our sites. In fact, they are a welcome site, if you are lucky enough to see one!

All sites are now Coleman-sponsored, & the following products are at each campsite:

*Coleman One Source Products (Now at all sites, including our Airbnb A-Frame, Falling Waters)

One Source lanterns, Bluetooth speaker, fan, & flashlight. Each of these items use interchangeable batteries. You can also charge your phone or devices with the batteries provided. Cooler and propane grill are also provided.

*Often other varieties of camp supplies are left at any given site by previous campers.

Yes! We sell many basic camp supplies at cost, such as: male/female hygiene products, propane, wood, lighter, fluid, butane, isobutane, sterno, charcoal, fire starters, ice, disposable paper plates, bowls, & utensils. We sell also some basic snacks & soups if needed. S'mores Kits available as well. We also supply coolers for free, if needed. So if you forget any of the basics, or just don't want to fool with these items, we've got you covered!

Yes, always! We love dogs & even cats. All guests are welcome to bring their pets, & we do NOT charge any pet fees. We have a leash rule around the property, but generally we leave it to the guests to sort out amongst themselves. However, if you have a problematic or aggressive, or unfriendly dog, that is YOUR PROBLEM, not ours or the guests who have "good" dogs. It is not  the problem of guests with "good " dogs to have to deal with your "bad" dog. If your dog is "bad" they should not be brought or if they are, you must keep them leashed at your site, & away from everyone else. 

Propane heaters come standard with all tents. Each heater takes a 20 lb propane bottle. Propane is not standard & while there is usually propane left at any given campsite by previous guests, it is not standard. You may bring your own propane or we have plenty for purchase at our wood kiosk. $30/bottle. 

Wood stoves come with Top of the Rock & The Cattails sites ONLY. In the warmer months, the wood stoves are removed for additional space in the tent. An initial amount of wood comes standard, but if you need more, we have plenty for purchase at the wood kiosk. $20/all you can burn.

No. The Property is primarily for guests staying on the property or at our offsite rentals. You can visit for a daily tour or event, but you must schedule a time in advance. See our section "Online Bookings." We have a high volume of guest stays through Tentrr and Airbnb, & part of any booking is exclusive private access to the property, so we cannot allow the public to just "walk-up." We also like to keep numbers at a minimum to best maintain our property's natural state. 

1100 Kanawha Trail, Covington, VA 24426

Yes, The Bull Pine Camper Club Trailer is offered to all campers on the Property. As a communal space, campers may use the bathroom, which has a real toilet, sink & shower. Bull Pine also offers a kitchen with gas stove & oven. Guests can enjoy free coffee & make coffee with our Keurig, which has both drip and pod coffee. No microwave: you're camping after all! The Trailer is also a lounge with table & chairs, as well as couch. This space also has a queen bedroom which may be offered in emergencies, by need, or even may be rented during the Winter, when camping slows down. Finally, the trailer is also the Camper Commissary, where camp supplies are offered.

There is a limit of 4 adults at each campsite, & a limit of two adults at the a-frame, Falling Waters. Children are certainly allowed if the number is over 4 in your party. If you have more than 4 adults, you need to book more than 1 site. Falling Waters & Sweet Springs are great options because they are the two sites that are closest together. 

Check-in is contactless. All guests must sign-in at the check-in barn, located near the entrance. There, all guests must sign also our waiver to obtain property access. Once you've completed the sign-in process, you may proceed to your site. Follow sign posting. 

No, The Loft is an offsite rental located 20-minutes away from the Falls. You get the best of both worlds: small town city life with quick access to food & grocery, & full access to Beaverdam Falls.

We  do not have a specific EV Charger, but we do have a 30 AMP RV Outlet available, as well as 110. There is an EV Charger 2-miles down the road from us that is open to the public. Feel free to ask us about using it. There are also 2 Tesla EV Charging Stations, one in Lewisburg, WV (25-minutes away), & White Sulphur Springs, WV (15 minutes away).

No. The Wallace Cottage is the only site not on the property. We consider this an offsite rental. It's located in beautiful, Union, WV, 20-minutes away. But you still get the best of both worlds: small town life & full day access to the Falls. 

Yes! Anywhere in the Creek...

No, not unless you have contacted us or one of our recommended fish guiding partners. Please see our section on "Fly Fishing."

Yes! All guests can drive to their sites. Depending on the weather, 4x4 may be recommended. But you can always park at the check-in barn and walk to your site first. Everything is about 6-7 minutes from one another. It's about a 5-minute walk or so to the Falls from the check-in barn. Sweet Springs is the only site that requires 4x4 capable vehicles, though we do have a 2x4 entrance for emergencies (we prefer not to use this entrance because it is not graveled, &  is harmful to our grass.). We can also take you to your campsite via golf cart--available by request only.

Yes, all our sites have an initial, generous amount of firewood available. We always have more for purchase at the check-in barn--as well as many other supplies. 

Yes, but not at your campsite. Highspeed Wifi is available at the Check-In barn, & at/and around Bull Pine Trailer.

No. We're surrounded by the National Forest, but we do offer complimentary Wi-Fi & a landline for guest use inside our check-in barn. The Wallace Cottage & The Loft are the only sites with cell service. 

We're in the middle of "nowhere," but not far from all the essentials and then some!
