From the flat land at the bottom to the top of the mountain, this is a place where you can find a spot to sit and think, draw, paint, nap, or identify over 30 medicinal plants in their natural habitats (absolutely NO harvesting of medicinals or wildflowers!). Listen to the many birds, spot the wildflowers. Some areas are accessible by wheelchair, while others are not, but all areas offer something to sustain your spirit. If you feel the need to explore the area, you are within walking distance of NotaViva Farm Brewery and Winery, 15 dirt road minutes from the new Sweet Run State Park one direction and Breaux Vineyard in the other direction. The Appalachian Trail is just over the top of the mountain and Harpers Ferry National Park is down the road and over the Shenandoah River. We might be a teeny bit biased, but we think this is area of northwest Loudoun County, VA is one of the loveliest places in the world.

Very nice area, well maintained and lean. We have stayed in both the yurts and in the tent camping areas and both were excellent. The yurts are the only sites right on the water and offer string lights and picnic benches. It is very challenging to find the first time. The site is set well off the beaten path so you feel like you are out in nature. We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Sistermoon Farm

My daughter and I stayed for a mother-daughter birthday weekend, and the campsite was perfect! It is very secluded and private and we were able to completely relax and just be in the moment. Maria left us a basketful of such thoughtful items to make the stay just that much better! We were only about 15 minutes from Harpers Ferry, so we were easily able to make a day of that and come back to relax by the fire. The second night, we had some weather come in, but the canvas tent kept the wind and rain out and we stayed perfectly nice and dry and cozy and were reading by lamplight (which was so fun)! I would absolutely visit again, and highly recommend! Thank you Maria! It was amazing!!

Camp Comus was a wonderful stay near Sugarloaf Mountain and a cozy place to stay after a day of hiking. The grounds were beautiful, the animals were friendly and they provided ample firewood. The farmhands on the property were nice and really helpful. Additionally, the barn house which housed the bathroom and shower was accessible throughout the night and easy to find (even in the dark). 10/10 property. Easily one of my favorite Hip Camps.
