NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

We found Hipcamp 3 years ago while looking for a place to camp. We thought, what a great idea, sharing our hobby farm and our way of life with others.

We had a very short opening season in 2019. Covid came on the scene in Feb/Mar 2020 and with lockdowns, no one was able to travel. Our small campground blossomed as restrictions were lifted in late May 2020. Folks wanted to get outdoors, hang out safely with friends and family and get away from large groups of people and Covid.

In 2021, we had another great season with many return visitors as well as many new Hipcampers!

Our 2021 season was soooo great, our very own Tiny Rose Cottage
was nominated by Hipcampers and came in 6th place in the state of Virginia

as one of the TOP 10 Hipcamps to visit in the state of Virginia in 2022!

Come and visit! Enjoy your time wandering on our 16 acre hobby farm that is bordered by the National Forest on two sides. Take a walk around our farm, gardens, and mini orchard in which we raise and preserve a good bit of our own food.

Meet our farm animals: Tootsie and Sparky, our 2 horses (they absolutely love the guests), chickens, rabbits, and our dogs - we offer a farm tour, please inquire if you are interested.

Learn about our self sufficient way of life and how we co-exist with the habitat. We have thoughtfully created a habitat for our wildlife neighbors and have been recognized by the state of Virginia as a Habitat Partner. We love to share our way of life with our guests.

Great hiking trails are nearby - merely download the AllTrails app for all the available trails with great descriptions, photos and directions to each hiking site. You can search under Basye, VA; Orkney Springs, VA; Woodstock, VA; Wolf Gap; Big Schloss; Luray, VA - just to name a few to get a wide variety of hiking/walking options.

In the spring and fall the nearby streams are stocked by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) with Trout (our very own, Allen Easterly, an avid fisherman, is on the volunteer team that stocks the streams in Shenandoah County).

The Shenandoah Valley Music Festival offers a summer music series under the stars - visit their website at www.musicfest.org for their upcoming 2022 summer schedule.
