Near Shenandoah National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the Byrd Visitor Center.

Welcome to our small Farm and Inn, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Madison County, Virginia. Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, we offer intimate nature-inspired cottages and camping on our 120-acre working farm. Enjoy an evening under the stars with fireflies and a campfire after a long day hike, fly fishing on one of our beautiful trout steams or touring the local vineyards and breweries. We currently offer one cottage and a few campsites for our guests. Our campsites are all private, located acres apart with tables, chairs, firepits, some elevated sleeping areas, some hammock spots and a few with a roof. Many of our spots require walking away from your vehicle, short distances. We have three drive-in sites that will accommodate one or two vehicles. We do not allow RVs or trailers due to our narrow mountain driveway. Camper vans are welcome! Our farm store includes Animal Welfare Approved products such as Eggs, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb and Dairy from the farm as well as produce, jams and mushrooms and other items from our local community. We offer camping essentials, local art, bike rentals, farm experiences and tours. The property has miles of trails along mountain spring-fed streams, a small pond and access to three private acres on the Robinson River, a stocked Trout stream, just 2 miles down the road. Our property is centrally located to White Oak Canyon and Old Rag Mountain trailheads in the Shenandoah National Park as well as many vineyards and breweries. Please check in with us about current rentals and camp availability. We are in the process of restoring an 1850s Chestnut log cabin, which will be available for our guests to rent as well as other cottages.

Sparrow Hammock Camp

Highly Recommend!!

Beautiful spot that is relatively secluded and private. It is worth noting that you should be prepared to walk/hike a little to get to the site; I HIGHLY recommend taking advantage of the transport service that is offered to help load and unload your stuff. I sincerely believe this saved a few years of my life. Jennifer is a fantastic host and is more than helpful and knowledgeable of the area. When you first arrive, Jennifer makes sure to meet with you to go over the map of the property and other spots near by. In addition to her great hospitality, they also run a farm store that is packed full of fresh eggs and other meats. We ended up buying 2 dozen eggs which included chicken, duck, and turkey (yes..turkey) eggs that were delicious. I highly recommend considering staying with Jennifer for your next outing. Phenomenal service and hospitality and a beautiful spot to enjoy the outdoors!

Gypsy Camp Near SNP

Staying on this property was our first HipCamp experience, and we couldn’t recommend the whole booking/staying experience more! Communication with Jennifer was excellent even before the trip as we were preparing, she was extremely helpful during our stay and even offered to assist us as we were having car troubles. The location was private, making it a peaceful retreat, but with plenty of resources nearby including the farm store! The property was easily accessible, and you can tell time and care is put in to make the stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend for a unique and adventurous getaway!

Wisteria Camp near SNP

Great stay!

This site is extremely well positioned between Whiteoak Boundary and Old Rag hikes. Also, it doesn’t hurt that there’s a winery/brewery just a short walk away!

Gypsy Camp Near SNP

Springtime Camping

We had a great time tent camping at Jennifer’s farm! The campsite was very clean and had all the essentials, and Jennifer had lots of great local recommendations (fun stops, hikes, restaurants/breweries) . The farm has adorable buildings, farm store, trails, and lots of baby animals. We were a short drive from the Old Rag trailhead, which was why we chose that location. It was perfect - we highly recommend and look forward to coming back!

Birdsong Camp: Near Shenandoah NP

The campsite was incredible, beautiful land and tons of birds and the farm animals were so sweet. It was really nice to have a picnic table and fire pit. One of the nicest campsites we’ve ever been to!
