A slice of paradise tucked into the hills of the valley and nestled up against the Shenandoah river with private access.
Neighboring Muse vineyards, the state park and a 3 min drive to town. It's the perfect getaway and also an excellent hub to loads of fun nearby. If you're interested in renting it out privately and throwing a weekend fiesta, let me know. It's perfect for that. Or if you just prefer the sound and serenity of nature, also perfect.
Late August to mid September is when the PawPaw's are ripe and readily falling from the trees, booking during these times grants you access to the one of nature's best kept secrets, the Paw Paw fruit. You won't find them in stores but you can graze for them here. They make a delicious second breakfast
Come enjoy.
I'm always in the process of making and clearing more campsites around the property. For anyone interested in earning a little extra stay time please ask about helping me clear and working for some compensated time. As everyone who contributes something will be earning a place here in the heart of the farm. It's magical and I hope to share the magic with all who wish to behold.
All walks of life are welcomed.
Please be kind to the Earth.

#1Rock Tavern River Kamp sits on acre and half on the banks of the Shenandoah River! We offer 7 yurts and 5 tent sites at main kamp.
We are just 5 min from River Hill Distillery, 7 min drive to Luray Caverns. 20 min drive to Shenandoah National Park…lots of hiking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, and civil war museums in the area.
I purchased this property in 2013 ---my Uncle Abe Kibler and Aunt Lizzie Good Kibler owned and operated a tavern across the road for years and rented river lots to their guests---in time this 265 acre spread was sold and divided to many. I am grateful to have a little piece of the Rock Tavern History back in the family. I have so many fond memories of floating the river with my family while growing up and I love sharing this experience with others while offering families the opportunity to create lasting memories!

This is our family farm. It's used to raise livestock and grow fresh organic produce.
Learn more about this land:
Welcome to Faithful Harvest Farm campsites. We have opened our farm for camping. We have a level site to enjoy. Our farm is bordered on 3 sides by water. The campsite is located on Peters Mill Creek. The back of our property is bordered by passage creek. It offers peaceful and private fishing for trout, bass, suckers and several varieties of pan fish. Cool off in the summer with a dip in the cool clean waters or relax and read a book with the sounds of nature. You can enjoy the cows, horses and goats who love the attention! However we ask you let us know before trying to pet or interact with the animals because we do have a Livestock Guardian Dog inside the fence with them and she is very protective of her herd. In the spring and summer we offer for sale fresh eggs and organic produce to our guest. Our property is located in the heart of Fort Valley. We have miles of hiking trails all around. There are 2 horse back riding camps in the area to offer a beautiful view of our area on horseback. The activities are endless. Several excellent wineries are within a short diving distance. There is a fire ring at each site and we provide a free bundle of wood to each guest with more bundles available for $4 each. The site is located on the side of our hay field, though we mow around the camping area and pathways, the field does grow up, but adds a bit of privacy to the site from our residence across the field. It does get cut 2-3 times per summer/fall season. A porta potty is also located on the property for our guest. Please read the rules and recommendations posted at the site when you arrive. There is no lifeguard on duty, so you swim at your own risk. Although the creek is pretty shallow most of the time, we ask that if you have children, they are supervised at all times, especially around the water. We think you will love our little piece of heaven and we look forward to your visit!

Hilltop with views of the mountains facing east and west. Close to Harrisonburg.
Several areas to camp in, take your pick. Nice shady wooded area overlooking Joes Creek.
Be happy to give you a tour of the mushroom farm.
Learn more about this land:
The wooded area is next to my house. There's about 4 acres to explore and a gravel road rarely traveled for a nice walk to a view for a great sunset. Harrisonburg is 5 minutes from here and has lots of night life, micro breweries etc. I have long power cords if you need electric at the campsite. You may hear owls hooting at night. The campsite is under white pines with a thick bed of pine needles. There are several campsites under the red cedar trees that are naturally bug and mosquito resistant. Shenandoah National Park is about 45 minutes away if you go to the 33 entrance and 45 minutes away to go to the Luray entrance. Lots of bears there and hikes to waterfalls. No hunting there. Solar panels provide half of my energy needs. GW National forest has lots of hiking and mt biking and is half an hour away. Great views of the mountains from the campsite area. I'm dedicated to having lots of native plants and trees. I do not spray any pesticides. Plenty of free firewood. Not too far off interstate 81. I give tours of the mushroom farm whenever the weather isn't below freezing. I don't recommend anything larger than a conversion van. Very small pull behind campers are OK . All campers are required to leave every day from 1 to 5. Belongings may be kept here. There is a bathroom inside the house. No showers , please guys relieve yourself behind a tree instead of tying up a bathroom .. Harpine Highway is nearby and does have some trafffic noise but it's not close enough to discourage most campers.

Voted Top VA site! See Reviews. Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch is conveniently located at the north end of Fort Valley. The recreational draw to this area is hard to beat in VA, and this property has it all for an amazing outdoor weekend! The ranch comprises 40 acres of lowland acreage designated for the camp, including a 5-acre lake.
The Cedar Grove sites 1, 2, and 3 are along the banks of Passage Creek located within a sparse, groomed Cedar grove. They are all a short walk (or drive) to the lake and beach amenities. Each site has varying access to the creek, so check out the site details. These sites are extra large and can accommodate multiple family groups, as well as, travel trailers of all sizes up to off-road motorcoaches in site 1. There are no hookups, so just boondocking. Pack it in, Pack it out. Generators are allowed but please be aware of the other sites and direct the noise away.
The Lakeside Mountain Stream site is very secluded, nestled between the mountains and the lake. It overlooks our 5-acre lake with mountain views in the background. It's on the opposite side of the lake from the Cedar Sites. This site has its own dock and is just a short walk down a mowed trail to a beautiful section of Passage Creek. An additional seasonal mountain stream can cascade behind the site and run under it to feed the lake when the conditions are right. It's a delicate site, so the accommodations and group size is strictly limited.
Check out the reviews and extensive gallery for many options of this amazing property!
Locally, the North end of Fort Valley offers many great hiking trails, trout fishing, rock climbing, horseback riding, and the Elizabeth Furnace day-use park. Taskers Gap OHV/ATV park is a short drive south, and the valley is sandwiched between both forks of the Shenandoah River for those looking to paddle.

This was my first hipcamp... back a couple years and the second visit just now was still wonderful. What a great place. We'll be back again for sure.
Thank you Jen. It will always be a special stop for us.

What a great spot. Greg greeted me when we got there and gave me directions to the campsite. I had my dogs with me and they made quick rounds of the entire site, including the pond, and brought home some brambles I had to cut out of their fur.
But boy did we have fun. First night we had the place to ourselves. The second night a small group took over the next few campsites, but the sites are really nicely spaced apart so I never really interacted with them aside from a few friendly waves.
The land was well kept, lawn freshly mowed, and Greg’s fresh eggs were delicious. I also opted for the gas fire-pit, which was a lovely extra add on.
The second night we had the tail end of the nor’easter pass through - and the tent held, and it was gorgeous watching the storm roll in before I had to batten down the tent for the night.
There are also some great places to eat and grab a beer or two within just a short drive both in Elkton and along the main highway.
I look forward to coming back. And Greg, I hope your daughter had a lovely birthday party! Looked like a great celebration. :)

We rented Michael’s property this past weekend and had a fantastic time. The place felt more secluded than it actually is, and the whole weekend was incredibly peaceful.
We spent most of our time around the fire pit cooking all our meals, enjoying the outdoors, and finally disconnecting—truly a much-needed reset.
Saturday evening brought rain showers, but the building made all the difference. We were able to stay dry and keep the good times going.
The location is convenient and the price is affordable, so we definitely plan to come back often.

Beautiful and peaceful place to camp! We stayed right by the lake and the views were amazing, especially early in the morning with the mist over the water and the mountains in the background. The campsite had plenty of space for our tent and camping setup, and we really enjoyed sitting by the lake, having a campfire at night, and watching the stars. It felt quiet, private, and very relaxing. Definitely a great place to disconnect and enjoy nature. We would absolutely come back!

We had so much fun, we wish we stayed longer than we plan so we can explore more on the area. We stayed at the cedar grove 3 for more privacy. It’s a quiet and beautiful place.

The campsite was perfect for our stay! The heater made it nice and warm when it got cold! The site was clean, peaceful, and so beautiful. I will definitely be coming back when visiting the area in the future.

Had a great 2 nights stay .
Was rainy both days I stayed but had a nice relaxing time nonetheless .
Was a little worried that the ground might get waterlogged with all the rain and be hard to drive on , but it was nice and firm and with nicely mowed grass , was easy to drive my van in and out .
Easy communication with the host .
Pristine conditions .
Nice outhouse … bring your own plastic bags to line toilet and pack your waste out .
Hear a few cars going by occasionally on the quite country road , but not at all bothersome.
Hear cows mooing from the neighboring property .
Friendly horses and donkey come up to the fences to be petted if you take a walk along the road.
Make sure to walk across the footbridge over the river only a short walk away .
Delightful stay … look forward to returning .

Amazing sites and amenities! The lake is beautiful and stocked with a small variety of fish. We got plenty of bites, swam and canoed around for hours. Each campsite is well maintained and has enough space for plenty of campers. We fit six vehicles, a canopy along with several tents and still has room to throw a football around at Site 1! Having the option for visitors who aren't big on camping is great for events.
It's also close enough to other fishing spots and trails. Our group will definitely be coming back.
Really enjoyed my 30th birthday and first time fishing here.

Trevor’s land was well maintained, quiet, and peaceful - no frills, but excellent river access, abundant birdsong, and plenty of branches to gather for kindling and small firewood. With an available and responsive host and many flat meadow or forested spaces to set up your tent, what more could you? Well, the sweet floral scent of pawpaws on the breeze (not to mention ground fall for foraging) and a wintery within walking distance are certainly a bonus! Would stay again and would recommend!

I had a great stay in Alyssa's enchanted cabin. It's definitely more on the rugged end of the spectrum with bugs and a mouse or two as roommates. Still, the property and view were delightful and it was the perfect place for my pup and I to rest for the night.

This place was a splurge but is by far the nicest RV/Campground Ive been to. After several days off grid, this was a perfect reset. I was able to wash my clothes, sheets and towels while hanging out at the pool. Felt so amazing to have everything clean and fresh. Showered and shaved and felt like a whole new person! Didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend and visit again if in the area.
