Near Shenandoah National Park
Within a 60-minute drive from the Rockfish(South).
Mane Gait is conveniently located right off route 81 and can accommodate large rigs. You won't find better views of the blue ridge mountains on this gorgeous working horse farm. We have hiking trails through beautiful private scenery for beginners to advanced hikers. Pets are welcome if leashed! Picnic area on site as well as laundry machine. We are 10 minutes from downtown historic Lexington Virginia that provides great restaurants and lots of history in the charming town of Lexington. Site 2 should be booked for smaller campers around 25 feet. Site 1 is better for larger campers.

Site 2 in front of barn
Horse (and human) sanctuary
A beautiful campsite and a gracious host! What more could you ask for. The site is all grass so something to keep in mind. Didn't have any problem with my 24-ft jayco and V8 pickup. Site isn't completely level but if you look around or park perpendicular to the barn, you can get it pretty close. Some of the most beautiful views, lots of mowed grass for my dog to run, some cool trails and close to the Safari park, and downtown Lexington. Great location. Loved waking up and seeing horses out to pasture

Site 2 in front of barn
Mane Gate was a beautiful open meadow with horse barns and a view of the mountains, perfect for a stopover on our way to the Smokies. Sydney was really helpful with directions and recommendations for restaurants since we arrived too late to cook.

Beautiful camp site
We loved tent camping at site 1. The views were great. We felt very safe. We enjoyed petting the horses. Everyone was friendly. This place is great for families and if you are visiting Lexington and/or Natural Bridge State Park.

Very nice and quiet
I really enjoyed walking the trails, the beautiful view and the tranquility! Know that you will camp next to the horse manure compost so yes it smells like manure so if this smell bothers you can take site 2 which is a little more distant.
