This is a working farm, home to both Livestock Guardian Dogs as well as resident dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and various livestock. If you choose to bring your dog/s, please let us know when booking. You should NOT bring your dog/s if they are high-strung, overly sensitive, aggressive, or not trained. Our livestock guardian dogs are hard-wired to protect so if they sense an uncomfortable vibe from another dog, it will make them uncomfortable and they need to be focused on doing their jobs.
Safety, privacy and environmental impact is very important to us. We require a minimum of 50 feet between each campsite. Please contain all trash, human waste and canine waste and pack it out with you when you leave. Be kind to the areas in which you camp, as they are home to many wildlife, native trees/shrubs/plants and in some cases, food for horses and cows (hay fields).
Each site is provided a fire pit (upon request) and we sell firewood.
There is so much to enjoy on the farm, but you are also incredibly close to many amazing places such as:

WINTER ADVENTURES
Fun awaits during every season of the year at Love Ridge. After the colorful shift of foliage during autumn, winter sets in and snow falls on the crest of the Blue Ridge. The eastern flank of the ridge is home to Wintergreen Resort, a world-class destination for skiing, snowboarding, and winter fun (try their snow tubing!). The four-season resort is on the top of Wintergreen Mountain and is a 12-minute drive from the cabins with the parkway open and 18 minutes when the parkway is closed for snow or ice.
When the snow falls, the Blue Ridge Parkway closes to vehicular traffic and becomes a multi-use trail shared by cross-country skiers, hikers, and snowshoers. Love Ridge shares a border with the Blue Ridge Parkway, so you can easily hop on the Parkway in the non-motorized mode that suits you. We particularly enjoy the rolling terrain of the two-mile stretch between Love Ridge and Reid’s Gaps. The parkway South of Love Ridge is a rarely traveled winter wonderland when closed to cars. Along with the endless hiking and mountain biking trails that draw visitors in the warmer months it’s a source of year round adventure.
A RESORT WITH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Wintergreen’s summit towers over the valley at 3,515 feet and offers diverse terrain. Whether you’re an advanced skier or snowboarder, or you’re new to the sport and want to take lessons and learn on the easy slopes, Wintergreen Resort has you covered. When you stay in one of our VA cabins, you’ll have premier downhill skiing and snowboarding virtually outside your door, as the resort is only a 12-minute drive away.
Since opening its first chairlift in 1984, Wintergreen has won over skiers and snowboarders with diverse terrain, a welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere, and top-notch snowmaking equipment. Wintergreen is the only ski area on the East Coast to have 100 percent of its terrain covered by automated snowmaking. Its snowmaking system, carefully calibrated by computers to maximize snow coverage, involves approximately 40,000 linear feet of pipeline, more than 400 snowguns and 45 weather stations. Their 400-plus snow guns allow them to supplement natural snowfall with additional snowpack, making skiing and riding even better throughout the season.
One of Wintergreen’s main draws is its convenient terrain layout (PDF), with advanced runs on the right side of the mountain, beginner slopes in the middle, and intermediate runs on the left side. Wintergreen’s design is perfect if you’re planning a day on the slopes with people of varying skill levels. Five lifts provide all-mountain access, with two high speed six-person lifts, a quad lift, double and triple lifts, and “magic carpet” conveyor belts for young kids and beginners.
Snowboarders and freestyle skiers will also love their terrain park, which features professionally-built jumps, rails, and slopestyle features.
Intermediate and advanced skiers/snowboarders can head off to the more challenging areas while meeting mid-day in the middle zone for some easy runs with your group’s beginning-level skiers and snowboarders.
If you don’t want to ski or snowboard, take an adrenaline-filled trip down their tubing run, appropriately called “the Plunge,” as it plunges downhill over 300 yards. Or, stay out of the wintry weather and spend the afternoon indoors at the spa doing yoga, relaxing in the steam room, and swimming in their massive indoor pool.
AFFORDABLE FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
In a sport that is increasingly expensive every season, Wintergreen stands alone among other ski resorts in keeping its lift ticket and ski lesson prices affordable. For safety reasons, lift tickets are capped at a certain quantity to control the number of skiers and snowboarders on the hill, so purchasing online beforehand is the best way to guarantee you’ll get a ticket for the day(s) that you want to ski/ride.
Ski and snowboard rentals are available right at the resort. Lessons are also available for all abilities and ages, ranging from 1-2 hour private lessons to family lessons, which include one adult and one child, with the option of adding more family members for an additional cost. Wintergreen aims to make winter sports enjoyable and accessible for families, including free lift tickets for children five years old and younger.

There are more sites higher up the mountain if you like more isolated camping.
More of a trek to the bathrooms/showers/freshwater.
We have one of the finest private stages on the East Coast with a top-notch sound system and a natural amphitheater which is like a single pie wedge of a Stadium that has regular live performances throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
Our yurt is regularly booked as a unique glamping experience.

Camping in Washington, DC guide
Camp, glamp, or stay in a rental cabin near the capital of the United States. The area around Washington DC offers campers the chance to explore nature-diverse landscapes and the nation’s most notable landmarks. Set up shop at Greenbelt Park for well-maintained campsites not far from the White House. Or journey farther to Virginia for Shenandoah National Park and Prince William Forest Park, both of which offer on-site camping and RV sites, as well. The DC area is a perfect spot for a weekend getaway to nearby parks along the Potomac River—on both the Maryland and Virginia sides. With cityscapes and nature to explore, Washington DC campers will find it easy to balance urban amenities with epic natural adventures.
Where to Go
Greenbelt Park
Cozy up for camping less than 15 miles from the White House. With over 170 campsites, Greenbelt Park is the perfect urban camping getaway. It features flower-filled hiking and equestrian trails and Sweetgum Picnic Area, which has a playground for kids. Full hookups, fire pits, potable water, and picnic tables offer RVers and tent campers alike a comfortable home base near the nation’s capital while exploring local nature, historical sites, and NASA Goddard Visitor Center.
Shenandoah National Park
Venture to Northern Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, less than two hours from Washington DC. Rolling hills, hiking trails, and waterfalls wisp through the land, creating epic views and scenic sites. Traverse a piece of the Appalachian Trail and get a glimpse of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Featuring over 600 RV and tent sites, Shenandoah National Park also offers permit-only backcountry camping. It should be noted that there are no electrical hookups in the park, though campers can find seasonal dump stations and potable water.
Prince William Forest National Park
Pull into Prince William Forest National Park for a perfect blend of history and nature. Preservation and conservation remain top priorities for the park, which was nominated for the National Register of Historical Places. With 15,000 acres to explore, the park features miles of hiking along tree-covered trails with off-road biking options and orienteering classes too. Find two on-site campgrounds and clusters of historic cabins in the park. Campsites include fire pits, potable water, and picnic tables surrounded by lush forest.
When to Go
Experience the beauty of changing seasons in Washington DC. The area's subtropical climate creates hot and humid summers and cold winters. Summer temperatures reach an average of 85°F, while winter weather brings lows in the mid 20s. DC area summers are perfect for hiking, biking, and late-night stargazing, though the humidity means mosquitoes and other bugs are prevalent—bug spray, mosquito nets, and after-bite relief products may be necessary.
