Learn more about this land: Welcome to Shallow Creek, where you can set up camp near the pond amidst our 15 acre property. This beautiful spot is perfect for a getaway near Shenandoah National Park!  About the Property: My wooded property, with plenty of nicely manicured grass areas for camping, is the perfect combination for a secluded, peaceful outdoor trip. The property itself is wonderful to explore - whether it be hiking around the property, fishing, swimming, or kayaking in the pond, or having a cup of coffee watching the sunrise. The property is also located just 15 minutes from Shenandoah National Park, about 40 minutes from Old Rag Mountain, and about 1.5 hour drive from Little Washington, VA, where you can head to a winery, a brewery, or dine at a nice restaurant. I am just 6 miles from Sperryville, VA if you'd like to head into town. I really enjoy meeting guests and showing you where everything is on the property, beyond that I respect guests' need for privacy and quiet-time. Enjoy your time here! About the Listing: Come and pitch your tent at one of the two campsites, both with a beautiful view of the pond! The campground is grassy and there are shaded areas as well.   Each campsite has its own private fire pit to cozy up by and toast some marshmallows. I also provide picnic tables for you to grab a bite to eat after a day of exploring! There is a bathhouse with a flush toilet for your comfort, a utility sink and outdoor shower. There is hot water and electricity as well! There is a spigot for water as well as provided drinking water jugs for our guests.  We do not have a kitchen area available, though there is a cooking grate on the fire pit! I suggest a propane camping stove if you'd like to cook at the campsites.  While the campsites are spaced out enough for privacy, you should expect to see other campers or me, your Host, periodically throughout your stay.  Additional Details to Note: - Check-in time: After 12pm noon and Check-out time: By 12pm noon - There is no wifi on the property and some carriers have limited cell reception here, so please keep this in mind when planning the logistics of your travels and your stay. Great opportunity to unplug if you'd like! - The property is great for everyone, so bring the kids and family! - Camp fires allowed in the fire pit that I provide on the property. - You should expect to hear roosters, dogs, cows next door, and bullfrogs in the summer. You may also hear coyotes in the distance. I provide earplugs in case the noises are bothersome to guests or if you are a light sleeper! - I welcome your pets, though we do ask that they are quiet after 10pm. - Keep food locked up to avoid bear visits. Please feel free to reach out with any questions and I look forward to your stay!

It was a great site with fantastic accommodations. The bath house was first rate! The fishing was also great. We had a wonderful night.

The campsite is on a lovely, sunny field next to a quaint pond. Karol had the site set up nicely, with a great table, firepit, etc. There was a lovely dock to sit on, overlooking a medium, seemingly man-made pond. There are two sites quite close together, so if you're traveling with a group or looking for extra privacy, consider renting both.

Great First Tent Camping for Family
This was our first "Tent Camping" trip, and it went great. The location was perfect, and having bath facilities was key to everyone's comfort level. Our little one asked when we could come back even as we were packing up. Thank you for the great hospitality.

We had a great experience! Karol and Dave were extremely pleasant and thoughtful - the setting was remote and quiet and had everything we needed. A great spot close to the park!

Loved camping at Karol’s! The little bathhouse and outdoor shower were clean, well stocked, and perfectly located. Cornhole and dock were an added benefit that made our stay even more enjoyable!

Karol's land was a beautiful setting. Set up with a nice picnic table including flowers and citronella candle and a great umbrella for shade. Nice rocking chairs and an AWESOME fire pit with swinging grill cook top that was clean and perfect for our kettle campfire. Spot was picturesque right at the ponds edge with views of cat tails and sounds of frogs. Clean enclosed rest room with full amenities. Outdoor shower was wonderful though if another camper was in the restroom they would be able to see into the shower.
