Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing is an Adventure Camp, Conference and Retreat Center located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia. Operating all year-round, our programs range from backpacking summer camps to weeklong school trips to gourmet dining events. We pride ourselves on offering fully customizable programs catered to the needs, goals and expectations of our guests.
Whether you are looking to improve communication and teamwork within your group or simply relax with friends in Virginia's Blue Ridge, Wilderness Adventure can help you create the perfect retreat! Our primary focus is facilitating constructive group interaction; our staff works closely with you to assist in planning and executing a program that meets your group's unique interests and goals.
Situated on 500 acres of field, forest, mountains and streams in Virginia's Blue Ridge, Wilderness Adventure is the perfect spot to spend the weekend, bring a group, or tie the knot. Craig's Creek, a wide, shallow and meandering body of water flows along nearly a half mile of the property making it perfect for tube floats, canoe paddles, or afternoon rinses on hot afternoons.
Wilderness Adventure offers beautiful, primitive campsites to fit a variety of camping styles: pull-in RV sites, individual tent camping, roof-top camping, and large, private group sites. Our campsites are privately nestled within a cedar forest along the edges of a large, spacious meadow bordering the rolling waters of Craig Creek.
Just staying for the weekend to hike, bike, or float the creek? Let us feed and water you so all you need to do is relax and enjoy your adventures. The Outpost is located in the large barn behind our Main Lodge. Each Friday-Sunday in the warmer months, visitors can order "food-truck-style" from our extensive menu.

I sent my son to the two week adventure camp on a whim last summer, kind of a celebration of his release from COVID purgatory. He had a FANTASTIC time and loved the whole experience. He learned a ton too. He plans to return next summer for THREE weeks. He’s been dropping reminders about the early payment (discount) deadline too so I’d best reserve his spot. It’s a long drive from our house to the camp but the joy and confidence my son has built is worth every painful hour behind the wheel.

Top notch! The owner was wonderful, as were the entire staff that we interacted with!
Our club had an off-road trip planned for Potts Mountain, so we looked for a place nearby to reserve camping spots for the weekend. We came across these folks while looking around online.
Normally when we camp, we try to keep to ourselves, and focusing mostly on our travels. But upon arrival, the owner came up to us, and helped us get settled and find the rest of our party. She gave us some great info, and sent us on our way. The sites were amazingly clean and orderly, as were the restrooms and even porta-pots

We came out this past Saturday just to do the zip line. We arrived 5 minutes before 4, which was the cut off time. The staff was so polite and accommodating. They said to give them about 20 minutes to get set up and would be happy to take us up. One of the staff even recorded each of us zip lining for us to have! We would highly recommend this place to everyone. Next time we plan on camping to take in all the activities.

Took a business group there and they customized an awesome scavenger hunt, activities around the property that was scenic, relaxing, and entertaining. The hospitality was first class even down to the friendly DOGS. Food was wonderful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these wonderful people and their little slice of heaven.

Traveled here with a group of friends and stayed in Sly Lodge. This was nothing like I thought it would be, it was so much better! First off, the staff are super friendly and helpful. Second, the food was solid. Not 5 star food, but for the price and the surroundings I'd return for the food alone. Finally, the surroundings are beautiful. Amazing views, peaceful stream.
There was a chill Afro-Caribbean band on the Saturday night of our stay. We enjoyed the show while our kids played in the pond (kayaks and paddle boards free of charge). They have tapped into something deeper than just being a place
