Glamping Mid Century style, Tent #2
Great host, great location, great glamping! Definitely recommend. We enjoyed the pond, walking with our pup around the forest trail, and star gazing. Also had a great meal and caught some local music at the nearby winery.

Highly recommend! Great Glamping!
The space is incredible at Big Dipper Ranch! Jud was an excellent host, always able to answer all our questions and talk shop about starting a business like this!
We stayed in tent #1, which is closest to the pond, has the most “private” picnic site, and is furthest from Jud’s house and the cooling station for a nice rinse. Each site was thoughtfully planned, with incredible twinkle lights, lanterns, fans, and extra blankets.
I can imagine having an incredible family reunion on the grounds, or inviting all your friends to rent out the 4 cabins and have a relaxing camping weekend.
The site is close to old rag mountain & white oak canyon hikes via a 20 minute drive. Whereas the hikes via the main entrance of Shenandoah will take you about an hour to get to via a beautiful scenic drive.
We saw why so many people are return guests! We’ll need to come back in hopes of clear nights to actually see the Big Dipper & Milky Way. Despite the rain, we had a fabulous time and were mesmerized watching the rain and lightning from the comfort of the covered porch!

Great place and people
The location was great, nothing to set up just move in get comfortable the hosts were very accommodating and helpful. My car died and the host gave me a jump and found my son's lost knife.
