Tentrr Signature Site - Flowing Brook Signature Site

Summary: Nestled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia, Flowing Brook Signature Site will not disappoint. The campsite is situated on a beautiful flowing creek. The creek bed is a mix between large mountain stones and smaller river stones of various colors, including blue quartz and sand. Across the river, you can explore the rockwork foundation of what used to be an old mill or enjoy playing in the seven-acre hayfield. The area is graced with an abundance of wildlife, including deer, wild turkeys, and the occasional black bear. There are also friendly miniature goats, chickens, and ducks that are raised on the land and located by the owner's 1797 farmhouse. Come and enjoy life in an area where time is kept in seasons, berry season, cherry season, peach season, apple season, etc. Directions to local pick-your-own orchards and berry patches are available as requested. And while it might be hard to pull yourself away from this cozy campsite, we do recommend a drive along the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway (Less than ten minutes away) or take a hike up one of the many mountain trails located close by in the national forest. Most importantly, we hope and pray you will enjoy your stay. The Space: "The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters; The wellspring of wisdom is a flowing brook." ~Proverbs 18:4 Guest Access: This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed (see photos for the exact setup). The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that’s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night. Group Camping: We welcome campers with larger parties, but the standard Tentrr setup only includes the canvas tent plus the additional pop-up dome tent. You may need and are encouraged to bring additional camping gear of your own if you plan on camping with a large party. Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation. You may have as many campers in your party up to the maximum limit that is set for the listing, but please note that the only bed provided as a standard amenity is the one set up inside the canvas tent. Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean. Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days. What you should bring: -S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat -A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling -Bedding and pillows -Lanterns and lighting -Firewood for the campfire -Water Tentrr Extras: These are other additional amenities, services, or activities that may be provided by your CampKeeper for an additional fee. Please coordinate in advance if you'd like to add these to your booking. Availability of any Extras are not guaranteed and must be confirmed and paid for at least 24 hours prior to check-in.

Watch from a safe distance or get up close with our bees. Clean Sheets and Comforter on the Bed - $15 Clean linens already on the camp bed when you arrive means one less item you need to remember to pack and carry to and from the campsite. Guided Hike - $100 There are many great hikes in our area. Devils Marble-yard, Spy Rock, Crabtree Falls and Cole Mountain to name a few. Guided hikes offered Mondays through Saturday weather dependent. Farm Fresh Free Range Eggs - $3 A dozen eggs from our families chickens. Other Things to Note: Springtime is exceptionally picturesque as many of our local trees will flower out beautifully, and you might even be able to find wild blackberries or raspberry growing. In late August through September, the PawPaw trees start dropping their fruit. What is a PawPaw, you ask? A PawPaw, also known as a custard apple, is the largest native North American fruit. It does not keep well, so it is not available in many stores. The PawPaw has a taste all its own. The only guaranteed way to know when one is ripe is by allowing it to fall off the tree on its own. There are several trees on our property, and you are welcome to help yourself during your stay. Interaction with Guests: Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property. If a CampKeeper submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper’s property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!
