Discover peaceful seclusion on this 16-acre primitive campsite, perched atop a hill with stunning eastern views. Greet each morning with a breathtaking sunrise and soak in the quiet beauty of nature all around you. Located just yards from the Shenandoah National Park border, this spot offers a true backcountry feel with the convenience of being only 30 minutes by car from the park’s main entrance. It’s perfect for hikers and nature lovers looking to unplug. Cell service is available if needed. Access requires a half-mile uphill hike, adding a sense of adventure and keeping the area serene and private. There is no vehicle access to the campsite, and campers must bring in their own food and water. This is a pack-in, pack-out site with no amenities, ideal for those seeking a raw, off-grid experience. Pets are welcome, but must be kept under control and respectful of wildlife. Campfires are allowed in accordance with local fire regulations. Please check current guidelines before lighting a fire. The site comfortably fits 2–3 small tents (2–3 person tents recommended). Unplug, unwind, and reconnect under the stars just steps from one of Virginia’s most iconic parks

The Cabin at Camp Kilo
Amazing and secluded cozy cabin. The drive is a little bit rocky, so be prepared. Would absolutely come back again.

The Cabin at Camp Kilo
Very lovely property! The host was very communicative and kind. Just an fyi — 4WD is definitely preferred, our little corolla struggled and wasn’t able to make it all the way up the hill and the road leading to property is unpaved so it’s about 3mi of driving slowly on rough roads.

The Summit at Camp Kilo
We had such a great time here. Pay close attention to written directions. It is a pretty steep hike, and easy to get lost going up the hill. Going down it is easier to see the trail markers, Take your time and you will be fine. Very quiet, great views.

The Summit at Camp Kilo
I had a fantastic time camping here! It was exactly as described, with emphasis on remote, quiet, and primitive. The sunrise was beautiful with a nice rock ledge to admire it from. This was exactly what I was looking for to let my dog run free. I would caution campers though that the hike up/down is very challenging and steep, especially slick if it has rained, so be prepared for a tough little climb to reach your secluded site. Thank you Dave for the firewood!
