Located in the foothills of the Potomac Highlands, Buffalo Gap is a 1950s era former Mountain Kids Camp turned Retreat by a group of individuals who had a vision of creating a space where family and friends can enjoy a relaxing mountain get-away. Situated between two mountains -- Sandy Ridge and Slane's Knob -- Buffalo Gap sits in the gap between the two. Consequently, the 70 acre property is teaming with creeks and streams, along with a 1.5 acre spring fed lake, making it a peaceful and beautiful retreat from the daily stresses of life. Rent a cabin, camp, have a wedding or family reunion, enjoy our lakeview café, swim, hike, kayak, canoe, and so much more. With the nearby town of Capon Bridge just 10 minutes away and the Shenandoah Valley city of Winchester just 35 minutes, so much beauty and convenience with our riverside town and nearby bigger city for additional dining and entertainment as well as conveniences.

We had a great time at Buffalo-Gap’s campground! Easy to find our camping site and staff was wonderful! Sean and Dave will give you the best customer service, the food at the cafe was amazing, if you don’t want to cook thats a great option. The lake (natural spring) is crystal clear! We also had an unexpected situation with our car and Sean came right out to our camping site to help us out. 100/100!!!! Definitely going back, if not for camping, to enjoy a good meal and swimming! Thanks everyone!

This is a great place for a get away with family or friends, especially if there are kids in the group. On a hot summer's day, the spring-fed lake was a perfect place to cool off, and we all loved that there were plenty of floats and boats available to borrow. There was also a nice sandy beach with beach toys, vollyball, and a beach house with foosball available. The campsite we were in (24 in the end) was right next to a lovely little creek which was soothing to hear at night and we were able to string up our camping hammock right by its edge which was a perfect place to relax and watch the bluebirds by day or fireflies by night. It was nice to be camping but to be able to get good coffee served to me in the mornings at the cafe and have a place for kids to go get ice cream in the hot afternoon. We were there over July 4th and there was a bonfire and fire works display down on the beach by the lake with sparklers for the kids. I even attended a free guided meditation they offered one evening that was very relaxing. So all in all, I highly recommend you visit!

We often come here for camping and we are always satisfied, but this year they always keep the clean toilets of the restaurant locked and they opened the toilets that they built outside, which do not even have old floor stones, for us the best thing about this place was its beautiful and clean toilets, so it was not five stars for us this time! Also there is no light in the area where the tents are and it is very dark at night, we have difficulty seeing the way even when going to the toilet. We would be very happy if a light was installed there. Other than that, it is a great place

We had an amazing experience in this camp site. Our site has a very nice view of the lake and overview of the mountain. The camp hosts were very accommodating and friendly. They are always willing to help at all times. They’ve got a very fair price for everything. I would recommend them to any campers, either tent or cabin.

This was a lovely location; peaceful and within nature. The extra activities like boating and games within the location stood out to me. Definitely a place I would go back to for another camping trip.
