Located minutes from the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve or Summit Bechtel Scouting Reserve,
we offer an incredibly beautiful alternative to being in a campground with 70 other campers.

Currently, there is a porta-potty located at the bottom of the path that leads to the tent. I promise, we keep it super-clean and it is exclusively for use by folks staying in the tent.
I am building an 8′ x 8′ bath house with a hot shower and flush toilet. It will be located about twenty feet from the tent. My goal is to have it completed sometime in June 2025.

Before you make a reservation, you should know why we call this an Urban Camping Experience. Our wall-tent is located less than two miles from downtown Oak Hill, West Virginia. Mid-way up a beautiful ridge, you can see and hear the world go by while nestled out of view of both travelers and locals. Road noise is always present. Most people quickly acclimate. But I want every guest to enjoy their visit.

For this reason, I give you my two-fold satisfaction guarantee.

One. Before you unpack your car, make the three minute walk up the hill and find a comfortable place to relax on the spacious deck, around the picnic table, or in a camp chair in the yard. Enjoy the view and take in the sights and sounds. Hang out. There is no rush. Stay an hour, even two. If you realize my little piece of heaven is not your cup of tea, text me before you carry your belongings up the hill and set up camp and I’ll cancel your entire reservation and refund every penny. No harm, no foul. Remember, you’re in the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Grab your phone and start Googling. You will find many accommodation options in the area.

Two. Once you’re situated, find a comfortable place to watch squirrels and chipmunks play. Listen closely to see how many bird calls you can identify. Enjoy the gentle babble and splash of the fountain in the bird-bath. Feel the warmth of the sun filtering through tall oak, pine, and hickory trees on your face. Savor the sunset, moonlight, and glow of your personal tabletop Flikr cement fireplace. Rest easy. Enjoy a slow start to your morning with a hot cup of coffee and an amazing sunrise. If you still aren’t convinced, text and let me know that you’re breaking camp. I’ll cancel the remainder of your stay, issue a refund for any remaining nights, update the online calendar, and send the cleaners over to change out the sheets and tidy things up. I’m sure you’ll understand, I can not refund your first night’s stay once you settle into the tent. I have to pay the cleaners to change out the sheets and get everything ready for the next guests. Remember, you’re in the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Grab your phone and start Googling. You will find many accommodation options in the area.
