7 nights at Comus Sky Farm

This stay was the perfect stay. The only thing I wish is to have had more time here. It was everything and more. Juanita is the best host, she went above and beyond and over succeeded past my expectations. I was greeted with a gift that I’ll always appreciate. Comus Sky farm is beautiful. It has everything you need. She has a beautiful Airbnb on the property I’m definitely coming back to book another stay.

Weekend Trip to Comus Sky Farm

Beautiful land - plenty of space to setup tent. Host was nice and provided us with pots, spatula and firewood. Flush toilet is available in the barn as well. Come prepared with a lot of blankets and beddings since it gets really windy and lower temperature weather make it cold. Running hot water is also available in bathroom here. No showers or picnic tables available. Hiking trails are there that lead to small pond and stream. Host has some horses that you can pet and visible from camping sites. We did not see other animals around but kids loved seeing horses. Overall, great experience for cooking, start fire, setting up tents, hike and host’s support. Recommended for getaways specially when it is just 15 minutes away from city and stores.

Beautiful views, nice and quiet. Will visit again.

7 nights at Comus Sky Farm

We very much enjoyed our stay at Comus Sky Farm! Juanita was an amazing and attentive host who went above and beyond for all her guests. Our 3 boys (dogs) enjoyed hiking the trails around the property every morning as well as watching the horses. The farm may be in the countryside but not too far out of town to make a quick run to the store or from Washington, DC. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

This was a wonderful camping spot, so well maintained. Clean portapotty and lovely private campsite. We could see people but were far enough away that felt like we were alone. Loved seeing all the horses and being right by the small stream. Appreciated the lights and the running water to rinse our dishes. A little bit of heaven. We would very much like to come back! Thank you to Keith and Kim for sharing your beautiful place with us.

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

Really great space to stay. The babbling brook will lull you to sleep and the horses running around a great to watch. Will stay again.

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

The property is beautiful and fun with horses, free ranging chickens (not at the tent sites), clean porta-potties (amazingly), huge adult swing, creekside camp site. What more could an old girl ask for!

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

This tidy site was by a lovely stream, with a well-maintained firepit and a clean portapotty a little ways away. This is the first time I've ever had an actual basin with tap water by my tent! The closest thing to "glamping" our family has ever done, as a result. Our 8 year old was delighted with everything--the stream (which supplied the best noise for sleeping), the large site where we could spread out a picnic blanket surrounded by trees, the firepit where we made s'mores, the sink(!) where we could wash off said s'mores, and of course the horses. We were there in early spring with not much foliage so you do spy some RVs a little ways off but that might be less true with full foliage. I would recommend this place to anyone with young kids or who just want a really easy but beautiful, if not wild, site to camp. Also, very organized.

29 nights at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

This was the BEST camping at the little goat farm than all the other 22 camp sites we have been. We have cancelled our other camp and asked Bob if we could stay another month. We have really enjoyed feeding chickens, little goats, beautiful alpacas not to mention so much we have learned. The views are spectacular, swimming and fishing the clear clean lake and the exquisite quiet and calm of this land all take my breath away. They dont have many sites available so you are lucky if you can get in plus the other 2 campers have stayed on since last year because they all love being here too. You couldn't ask for better hosts than Bob and Susane!

Great stay while in the area visiting family and friends. Super convenient for our needs. Thank you for hosting us and making your space available on Hipcamp. Sandy, Mike and Charlie.

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

Everyone was friendly, the site and potties were very clean, and the creek was great!

28 nights at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

My stay has been amazing. Susane and Bob are very welcoming and kind. Learning how to feed the goats, chickens, alpaca, and donkey is interesting and fun. All of the animals are fed well and cared for. The work makes the day go by fast and there is something to do everyday to keep things interesting. It has been a pleasure to experience what working on a goat farm is all about. I definitely recommend staying.

Weekend Trip to Charity’s Hope Family Farm Resort

This is a single tent location on a Therapy Farm so amazing. Highly recommended IF you can actually book it snce if only one tent allowed at a tme.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

Keith's family farm is gorgeous and exactly as described. He was a welcoming and pleasant host. We felt safe and comfortable at the site. Hookups were appreciated and functioning well. The heated and plumbed barn bathroom was splendid in the cold freeze of night. Their horses were majestic and a great sight to wake up to. Location was great and well described for a calm arrival. There may be farm dogs off leash roaming the site - they are kind but dominant. Best to avoid contact (with or without leash) if you have your own dog or cat. We would happily stay again.

Weekend Trip to Dry RV Pad - 55min from DC - 30amp

This was a very nice and quiet place to stay! I felt completely safe, and the rope lighting was a neat addition to the site. The water wasn't at the site, due to it being winter, but Suzette allowed me to fill my fresh water tank at her house, just up the hill from the site. I would definitely request to come back if I'm ever in the area again!

1 night at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

What a wonderful experience! I'm a traveling nurse and my spouse and I stayed here during my contract. My spouse worked 4 hours Monday through Friday on the farm to cover our stay. The biggest part of the work is feeding the animals and then little things here and there around the farm. We didn't realize how much work a farm is until this stay. Susane and Bob have been wonderful hosts and we would definitely stay here again. We travel with dogs and there are plenty of places for the dogs to explore. It's extremely quiet here so after a day of hustle and bustle this has been a wonderful spot to come back to. If you are looking for a unique experience, look no further! Goats, chickens and bunnies are waiting for new faces.

I loved camping on Susane’s land! The views were beautiful, and the directions were clear. I loved the animals, and most importantly, I loved the host! Susane went above and beyond expectations. Loves hanging out with her.

Thanks Keith! Orderly. Porta potty unfortunately, but when we went, clean. Nice site by a stream

The campground is situated in the wooded area on the back of 27 acre horse farm which is known as "The Stables at Mezza Luna." There is Wi-Fi to all the sites. Every year in the spring there are 4-6 Thoroughbred foals born that eventually will become racehorses. They live on the farm until they are 2 years old and then they go off to begin their racing career. In the daytime, when you are not sitting around your campfire, you can walk the fence lines and visit with the Mares and Foals or just watch them frolic in the fields. Hint! "They love peppermints, carrots and apples." Who knows, you might get to meet a future Kentucky Derby winner. Nearby attractions include: BLACK HILLS REGIONAL PARK (15 minutes) for boating, hiking or biking Vineyard 61 (5 minutes) Stone Silo Brewery (5 Minutes) Leechwood Haunted Forest (5 Minutes) October weekends only There are also chickens and peacocks that are very anxious to receive your love and affection with any type of treat such as raisins. Kids can even go in the chicken coop and pick out their very own egg they can cook for their breakfast. For the energetic campers and kids there are also lots of trails that you can walk or hike on and there is a small stream the kids can play in. There also is a playground with swings, monkey bars, seesaw and trampoline. There is a dumpster in front of the barn for you to place your trash. Please drop off during your stay or on your way out of the property. Don't miss out out on this hidden gem just minutes from our nation's capital.

Little Goat Farm at the Lake

1 site · RV, Tent40 acres · Nokesville, VA

Sleep with friendly goats & alpacas. Fishing & hiking along the lake or trails. Our farm grows grapes, sunflowers, herbs of lavender, mint, sage, rosemary, and a huge varied plethora of flowers. We have been established for decades. The fishing is great as Va Fish and Game stock the lake each spring with bass, perch, catfish and even walleye. Many trails abound yet you can walk to a country general store from the farm. Mobile home living here is like no other as you don’t have nosy neighbors within an arms length away. You have the opposite with tranquility, and fresh air. Your senses become keener and nights allow you to sleep in the quiet country. No dogs unless owner agrees prior to arrivals
