40mi from Massanutten · 5 sites · Tents, RVs · Fort Valley, VA

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.

What a perfect spot! The property is amazing and the lakeside campsite is one of the best we've ever stayed on the east coast. Picturesque, quiet and secluded. Might even bring the dog and the kid next time ;)

We’ve been back to this site probably 10 times now. Simply put, we love it. The prepaid firewood delivery option made it easy, and then being able to purchase more wood at the site ensured we were warm throughout a chilly weekend. The stars were out in full force yet again, a treat for us city dwellers. Looking forward to our next time back.

The sites were large and had a huge fire ring and little grill. The pond is beautiful in the mornings and there's tons of free equipment if you feel like a paddle. The owner/caretaker is lovely and gives great local advice and the porta-potties were very clean. The little creek running around the property brings lots of ambiance and the occasional deer! No water options here but the national campground north of the property has a well/pump.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been here over the last few years. This is our go-to campsite. The location on the lake is simply the best. This time a new friend who’s an avid camper joined. He said while looking across the mirror-effect on the lake, “I can see why you keep on coming back here.” There’s something special about this place. On this particular trip, the fall colors were fully out and the stars were lighting up the night sky. Can’t wait to come back.

good signs at the campsite and a charcoal grill

Peaceful. The host was very responsive with additions after arriving (rental of a kayak). Very convenient for those who want to stay close to town. Icing on the cake was a bald eagle that made its appearance the last day.

Had an excellent weekend at Ben's. Ben was super welcoming, the site was wonderful, and the add-on amenities were a boon that saved me time, effort, and space in the vehicle. We spent the nights stargazing and most of the day on the water fishing. As we packed up on our final morning we were awed by a bald eagle hunting on the water and calling out. Highly recommend.

The lakeside camp site is incredible! we were three families camping there with little ones running around and having a blast. There was plenty of firewood available for camp circles, canoe and kayak rides, and some great local hikes. we can’t wait to come back! This will hopefully become one of go-to spots for family camping weekends!

Our second time staying at Pastimes. This time at a different site. We had a great time. Clean, fish food that the kiddos enjoyed dropping at the dock. Lots of different piers to fish from! Sites are big and comfortable with a table and fire ring. Love this place!

We had a great time here! We tent camped, and added the canoe to fish. I caught 2 bluegills and 1 crappie on a rooster tail. Bass were being a bit picky. Felt a few bites on swim bait, though. The site was nice and quiet, our dog had a great time!

Wonderful site, not crowded, great proximity to Shenandoah hiking trails and on site boating and fishing with the kids was a blast. Portability potties made it an easier camping experience with the little ones. Absolutely a 10/10 site for families with elementary age kids.

Weekend Trip to Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

Such a lovely space! We were lucky with warm weather for early October so having the little pond was nice! We stayed at Cedar Grove 1 which is the closest to the road but also the biggest. Lots of room to spread out if you are with a lot of people. This site has a picnic table, regular sized fire ring, a larger one for bigger groups, and a grill. We also added on the firewood bundle and it was delivered to our site. I was also able to hang my hammock by a cluster of trees. There are plenty of trees for shade and even though you can see the other campsites, you’re still quite far from them. The porta potties were well stocked and about as clean as they can get. Unfortunately we think the kids from the other sites stood on the seats so they were muddy. With a quick walk down to the pond, you get amazing views. Kayaks are set out and there are plenty more by the shed, along with paddles, life vest in many sizes, and fish food. At night we had nice clear skies for stargazing. I was able to capture some astrophotography! We are big fans of this campsite and can’t wait to return!

Great spot next to a small lake fed by a small brook/stream. Host, Ben, was very hospitable - the perfect level of interaction (a nice welcome, advice on car/tent location, lay of the land) followed by an occasional drive-by (the spot is adjacent to the drive to his house which is not seen from the campsite).
