Camping near Warrenton

·

As the county seat of Fauquier County, Warrenton in the Piedmont region of Virginia combines outdoor adventure with a dose of culture. The historic character of Old Town Warrenton is visible in its 19th-century buildings, but outside of town, campers can explore rolling landscapes, wooded hiking trails, and go fishing at C.M. Crockett Park along the 109-acre Germantown Lake. The park, with 100 acres of hills and woodland, attracts diverse bird species, including eastern phoebes and northern cardinals, and although it doesn’t have camping, you will be able to find RV parks and private Hipcamp tent sites within a short distance, many with picnic tables and BBQ grills. For stunning scenery and a historical twist, head to Sky Meadows State Park. This park offers primitive backcountry camping, allowing you to experience the Blue Ridge Mountains with minimal amenities. With access to equestrian activities, 114 wineries, and a proximity to Shenandoah National Park camping, Warrenton is a prime nature spot.

All hail William Smallwood. Not only did he serve in the Revolutionary War, but he left behind the ideal escape from beltway chaos. Just 40 minutes outside DC, Smallwood State Park is a 628 acre paradise with a marina, boat launching ramps, a picnic area, camping area, pavilions, a recycled tire playground and nature trails. The park is on the Mattawoman Creek, less than a mile from the Potomac River, but if you’re ready to swim, errrr, boat/fish with the big fish, the Potomac River is just a mile away. Feeling reflective? Go way back to the 18th century with tours of Smallwood’s Retreat House, open on the first and third Sundays, May through September.
