6.4mi from Fredericksburg · 7 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed. You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well. We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest. Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

Wolftrap Farm was owned by James & Dolley Madison during their time, and they called it Black Meadow.  Their home, Montpelier, is just across the mountains you see from the campsite.  It passed through the hands of various local farmers during the 19th & 20th centuries, and for many years was a dairy farm.  It became primarily a horse farm in the 1970's, when it was owned by the German Von Wulffen family.The Cuthrell family from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area acquired the farm in 2003 and converted it to a resort farm, featuring upscale vacation homes.  Beginning around 2013, the farm started morphing into primarily a wedding venue, and now hosts over 60 weddings each year.

2 nights at Private Farm House w lake

The house was so cute a cozy. It is a real house with electricity, internet, TV, dvd player, and Netflix, a full kitchen, and the bathroom is right beside the upstairs bedroom. The view from the bed in the morning was a beautiful huge tree in the field. Down the hill is a very large pond. I can see a float and canoes that would be great in the summer. There is a huge pavilion beside the lake with couches, a long table, chairs, a grill, and a refrigerator. There are two outside RV toilet stalls at the lake too. When I drove in I saw horses in a field and a little donkey running around, playing in a a pen. I stopped and watched. Close to the house they have goats in a pen and they wanted me to pat them. The owner, Maria, told me I could. She also has a pig and chickens. I enjoyed the solitude but this place would be wonderful for a family outing or corporate retreat. I forgot a few things, so Maria directed me to a nearby Walmart in Tappahannock. I highly recommend a stay at Maria's farm.

The barn apartment sits tucked into the woods overlooking the main garden and farm store area.

Weekend Trip to Big Dipper Ranch camping - glamping

My fiancee and I had a lovely and relaxing stay at this glamping site. It was beautiful and scenic, and the stars really came out and popped at night when the skies were clear. There is a toilet right behind the tent and a shower on site, as well as wifi provided, which is very convenient. Jud was incredible and very accommodating for all of our needs. We had a great time time chatting with him about how he arrived to the area and he gave great recommendations on things to do / check out nearby. We are already planning our next trip back, next time with more of our friends! Lovely stay - couldn't recommend enough.

Weekend Trip to Big Dipper Ranch camping - glamping

We absolutely loved staying here. It was "roughing it" without really "roughing it". I.e., we had access to a toilet and an actual bed. The night we arrived was unseasonably cold, but a propane heater was provided and the bed was warm, cozy and really felt luxurious. So comfy! Jud taught us about the berries on the bushes that kids loved to eat and also feed the goats with. The location was perfect too. Allowed us to be flexible with our plans since hikes and other attractions were abundant, some as close as minutes away. Has easily become one of our favorite places to camp.

Weekend Trip to Big Dipper Ranch camping - glamping

We had a great experience glamping. Everything you foul ever need had been thought of and provided. The host gave us a warm welcome and provided detailed instructions. We are used to camping so having a bed and toilet was quite the treat. First night got down to 45 and there was a small propane heater we used to heat the tent before bed and when we woke up so we were quite warm. The land and area are beautiful and we enjoyed the plentiful stars. Blue quartz winery/brewery was truly at the end of the road and we had a fabulous evening with more views there after hiking in Shenandoah National Park. Definitely would recommend the stay to others and hope to come back soon!

We spent 3 nights at the Big Dipper Ranch. It is a lovely location with amazing views of the night sky. We met Jud when arrived and he gave us the low down of what to do in the area and how to use all the emenities on the property. The campsite is close to many hiking spots including Old Rag and Mary's Rock. I recommend grabbing a bottle of wine from one of the many wineries in the area, making s'mores at the campfire, and staring at the beautiful night sky. If you have a star gazing app, I recommend looking up all the constellations visible (there are a loads) This was a perfect get away with all the fun parts of camping with the luxuries of a soft bed, a spacious tent, and a hot shower. We will be back together and with friends. Jud is a gracious host and really made our stay wonderful.

We had so much fun at Big Dipper Ranch this past weekend! Judson was so incredibly kind and met us upon arrival. He showed us everything that we needed to know to have a great stay. Our girls LOVED visiting his goats. We went on an awesome hike nearby and ended up having dinner/grabbing drinks at the brewery across the street. The perfect getaway from NOVA. Thank you! We hope to be back again soon.

Jud could not have been a more welcoming host. The property is beautiful. It is apparent how much the hosts love the space and love sharing it with guests. The location is ideal for a visit to the Shenandoah NP area, especially if you are planning to hike Old Rag Mountain. And Jud's recommendation to visit the family operated brewery/winery just across the main road (not within earshot of the camp so no noise concerns) was the icing on the cake.

Weekend Trip to Big Dipper Ranch camping - glamping

We traveled from Florida, and Big Dipper Ranch did not disappoint! Our host was absolutely wonderful and helped bring us some items we forgot and didn't know we needed. The tent was very clean and comfortable, and having the compostable toilet right there was amazing. The campsite is beautiful, and our only regret was not having time to use the pond on site. We had four adults in the tent. We were comfortable, but did bring a small blow-up mattress for one of us and did double up on the camping mats provided for sleeping. Be sure to download the directions to the site before you arrive as cell service is spotty. We got lost and had to stop in at Blue Quartz Winery across the street for directions. Everyone around was super friendly and we are already planning our next trip back. Perfect spot if you are looking to hike Old Rag!

This was the PERFECT location for my birthday weekend away with five of my mom friends! It was beautiful, safe, and such unique experience! It was only about a 15 minute drive to the Old Rag trailhead the next morning. Judson is such a friendly and accommodating host. My friends and I talked about coming back in the spring with even more friends and reserving a few more glampsites, so we’d definitely recommend it!

After a long hike, it felt wonderful to take a hot shower. At night, sitting around the campfire and looking up at the stars, spotting the Big Dipper and even the North Star, made it extra special. The property itself is beautiful, with a peaceful pond (I haven’t swum in it yet, but I love walking down by it) and the sweetest goats to visit. Every little detail about this place makes it feel so welcoming and relaxing. This has quickly become my favorite (and only!) place to camp. I absolutely love it and can’t wait to come back for a third time. Highly recommend The Big Dipper Ranch to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable camping experience!

Weekend Trip to 4Trees: 10 min to Old Rag

This Hipcamp isn’t camping or even glamping really. It’s a very nice house in a fairly remote location convenient to several large cities. The home is well appointed. Birdwatching and stargazing were great. It was extremely quiet and peaceful, we barely heard any cars or humans during our stay.

Weekend Trip to Big Dipper Ranch camping - glamping

This was the cutest camp site, that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the Shenandoah. My husband and I took a quick last minute trip to go hiking and decided to stay here. It met all of our expectations! Jud met us on arrival and was very helpful and welcoming. The place was extremely clean and adorable. They had everything we needed and more: a shower, composting toilet, mosquito wipes, wood for a fire, a grill, and of course a comfortable place to sleep. Jud had a lot of recommendations for nearby places for food & wineries and breweries. The highlight was seeing the stars at night. So many fun hiking trails within a short distance and overall a great location to stay. It was a short trip this time, but we plan to definitely return with our kids at some point!

Glamping was a great experience. The big dipper ranch is definitely worth the stay. We highly recommend. We woke up in the middle of the night and saw a star filled sky. Judson was a wonderful host.
