Monterey Mountain RV Camp
5. Monterey Mountain RV Camp
Monterey, VA · 3 sites
Simple RV camping in the mountains of Monterey, Virginia. Fresh mountain air, clean drinking water, gardens, fruit trees, and free-range chickens (rooster sounds included). Nights are quiet with crickets, dark skies, and great stargazing.
The property feels tucked away, but it’s an easy walk to town with reliable cell service. You’re close to a fully stocked local market for natural food staples and local goods, coffee and lattes at Claire’s Café, brunch at The Curly Maple, a classic meal at High’s Old Time Diner, sample local cider at Big Fish Cider and pizza at The Highlander. Shop local art at Third Space or thrift at Twice Is Nice. A short walk in the other direction you’ll find free-range horses and a couple of friendly donkeys.
A short drive takes you to a local maple sugar camp or a hike up to Sounding Knob fire tower for incredible views. The area is known for winding country drives, summer fishing, fall foliage, and hunting. A central location to be first in line for donuts at Monterey’s award winning Maple Festival, the county fair or Harvest Festival and Virginia's newest State Park - Hayfields State Park is a 25 minute drive. Local hot springs are just 40 minutes down the road.
We provide fresh mountain drinking water by request, but no hookups yet. We're available anytime for advice and questions.

V's land was the perfect spot for our quick trip to Shenandoah! His instructions for getting there and what kind of vehicle needed were spot on and he was very communicative whenever I reached out. There was some firewood on site but I am not sure if it was left by last campers or him. We brought our own and used it as it recently rained when we camped. Beautiful fireplace and plenty of room to set up our tent, even though half of the area was a bit muddy from recent rain. It has a beautiful view of the sunrise in the morning and we were fortunate enough to wake up to snow our last morning there! Will definitely come back to this site if I get back to the area!

Nice private site on the side of a mountain. Great views to wake up to. Some sort of high clearance vehicle is required to get up to the site but not too bad.

My friend and I brought our pups up here for a night and can’t recommend it enough. The site is private, close to a few wineries/breweries, and has great views. Be sure to follow the 4WD guidance - we didn’t have to use it but I can see how rain a day or two before could make for an interesting drive up. The leaves this time of year also made it a bit slick. Overall, the campsite was exactly what we were hoping for and we’ll be back if camping in the area again!

One of the best camp sites I have ever been to! VERY family friendly. Exceptionally well maintained. Host was very responsive and provided clear directions on how to get to the site. Rocks denoted the location for the campfire. Great path to go for a hike in the morning. Close to the town to pick up graham crackers or whatever else you forgot before camping. However still felt very secluded. Could not say enough good things.

It was so nice being tucked away from society but close enough to a grocery store. There was still a little phone service for AT&T. Fire pit worked beautifully. We were able to fit our Wawona 6 tent and 4Runner and still have plenty of space to walk around. The need for 4WD up to the site is true.

Perfect little camping spot — quiet and secluded. Will be coming back. Having the right car is a must especially after a rain — not a mud issue but rocks move around and change the line a bit making it a little tougher to maneuver up the hill but we were fine in a Forester.

Very quiet and private campsite. Definitely make sure u have an AWD SUV, as indicated on the posting. Feels very secluded but only ~10 min into town in case you need to grab something and close to the national park. Definitely recommend!

Stayed here during a 2 day trip at the NP and we had a great time. The drive to the spot is alittle tricky but as long as you have AWD you should be okay. The place is taken care of and secluded so it’s perfect for a little get away. Would be staying again if we are ever around the area.

Nice secluded spot. Local town nearby if any supplies needed and a new local farm brewery nearby. Definitely pay attention to the caution for the road. It was rocky and took some trying to get over a washed out area in my Subaru but all went well. I would definitely go back.

This was a great and super secluded spot to camp at. We didn’t see or hear another soul out there the entire time, and it was perfect weather at the beginning of August. Would definitely go back!

Amazing spot if you are looking to be secluded. Area stays shady pretty much all day, making it great for post hike recovery. Highly recommend for a base camp if you are looking to do other things in the area.

Loved this spot so much! Brett was super nice and accommodating. This spot was really special and really helped me unplug and relax. I did spot a black bear not far from the site (which is cool and also I was scared as I was camping solo.) Brett made sure to accommodate me after I left early bc I knew I would be up all night. It was really magical being up there and waking up to the nature sounds was truly remarkable. Will absolutely be staying here again!!! Super happy with my stay and was just what I needed.
