THE CAMPSITE

Seven Acres of Free-Form Horse Camping

A dedicated horse campground on the farm provides open, free-form sites — no assigned stalls — where riders can park their rigs and settle in for 1–7 nights of on-farm camping.

THE TRAILS

A Network that Links Farm Rides to Shenandoah

Riders can explore some 18 miles of on-farm trails, then connect to the more than 100 miles of riding inside Shenandoah National Park for extended day rides or multi-day loop options.

THE ACCESS

Flexible, Around-the-Clock Check-In and Short-Term Rentals

Rentals run from one to seven days and the site is open 24 hours a day; the operation asks guests to be quiet if arriving at night to respect the campground atmosphere.

What the day feels like

What an Overnight Stay Feels Like

Days are spent riding the farm’s 18 miles of trails or linking into Shenandoah’s 100-plus miles; nights fall quiet across the fields on a working 1,800-acre farm.
