Great campsite in the Shenandoah!!

Camping by Shenandoah National Park
Beautiful location. The horse pastures boarded the campground, some trees and shade, put toilets and some water (not sure if it’s potable). Service is minimal to none (t-moble was 0 bars) which we like. Only issue we had was the flies, campfire smoke helped a bit but they tenacious. A short drive in either direction to enter Shenandoah Park. A Walmart 30m away but they have a lovely camp store down the street and wonderful corner store up the road.

Absolutely loved our stay here. The property was beautiful, the amenities were amazing, and the road noise was nonexistent. The porta potty’s were a little buggy as one might expect, but nothing you can’t handle. We camped from our car so bugs didn’t bother us too much at night. The picnic tables scattered around the property were really nice, and we barely saw other campers so privacy was an added bonus. We ended our evening swimming in the stream across the street, and woke up the next morning to swim again! Our favorite part had to be the stocked trout stream, the fishing and swimming was to die for, and the blue crystal clear water made for some unbelievable pictures. This property has so much more to offer, from horseback riding, to trails, to golf cart and atv rentals, the pool, family restaurant, on site laundry and dump station, the deli/bait shop, and all sorts of free animal activities. I would absolutely recommend this to anybody looking for a gorgeous stay right near Shenandoah National Park, for an unbeatable price!

Mixed feelings
· June 2026
We weren’t fully sure what to expect when we arrived. The description made the property seem so big that we thought we’d be able to find a campsite that was kind of secluded. It felt a little crowded. The campground definitely catered to guests with horses. We had planned to bike the trails, but we saw large groups of horses going on the trails and didn’t feel it was worth the possibility of spooking one or upsetting people. The pit toilets were kind of gross. But what do you expect from a hot pit toilet lol.
So there’s the cons, here are the pros.
The property was absolutely beautiful! The views from the campground were Pretty, the lodge area across the street was truly beautiful. We found the roads were not crowded and enjoyed riding up and exploring the river. There were a couple of stocked fishing ponds, a super nice pool (extra fee), nice gift shop, restaurant, and clean bathrooms at the lodge. Their store/deli was nice and convenient. The drive into the campground was stunning! We weren’t sold at first, but after exploring, we would definitely return. There’s a lot to do on the grounds and it would be a great base camp for doing things in the area. All the staff we encountered were friendly. There were a lot of large groups camping and I could see how this would be a good place for that. But we did have a large and loud group near us that partied past midnight every night. There didn’t really seem to be any staff oversight in the campground itself.

awesome little campground. the general store down the road has anything you really need, bait wood & hot foods. we didn't really spend much time up by the main lodge but plan to do breakfast & dinner there on our next trip and maybe visit their pool (there's also a free swimming hole on their property) we mainly spent our time at our campsite & the fishing pond but plan to do a lot more exploring in the future. (for those wishing almost to complete solitude this may not be a spot for you unless you go during the week and chose your spot wisely, from my time here it seems like the campground can get pretty busy on the weekends but still overall extremely peaceful with exceptional views!)

LOVE graves mountain farm. Such beautiful property to explore. I typically like to camp with privacy, but for the occasions I don’t mind being around fellow outdoor lovers, this is the exact kind of place to be. I ended up booking late Thursday night — so appreciate how it is an instant booking and very easy self check in.
Camping field is great, people are respectful enough to give some space since there are not designated spots.
Toilets are available in the field, a bathhouse is available behind the barns across from the market, and toilets are also inside of the main building.
It was a hot weekend but I hungout by the creek to stay cool. Also space available in the main building to relax if needed.
I had a friend come and join me Saturday night and we stayed up at one of the lodges. SO nice. We also went horseback riding.
The market is so convenient and very good sandwiches.
Always love my stay here. Definitely will be back!

The land was nice and check-in was super easy once I arrived at the camp site. Plenty of pit toilets. They had WiFi as well which was really helpful since there is no cell service at the camp site.

Nice piece of land and location, check-in is pretty easy, and ample space. The bathrooms however were pretty bad and there were no sinks or utility sinks anywhere in sight.

For rustic camping, this can't be beat. The place is huge! We were told that we could literally pitch our tent anywhere on the property.
The pit toilets were kept clean and were well-stocked with toilet paper. There were fire rings and/or holes. Tables were a little scarce so you may want to pack your own - but they do have them - just not for every possible site.
As a dog owner, I am constantly looking for pet-friendly camping options. This one was great! Standard rules did apply - keep your dog on a leash and pick up after your pet.
Am looking forward to a return trip!

The advertisement wasn't accurate. There was no host.amd no one responded to my questions, the toilet was disgusting and there were flies everywhere as well as spiders crawling in and out of the latrine (non flush toilet). We had to go pay for a shower at a truck stop because there was no shower nor was there a store on property in case we needed anything. It was basically a huge field with a few scattered picnic tables. We did not feel safe with vehicles driving by but not stopping or camping. Did I mention it was high on mountain with little civilization and people staring like we were outsiders I would never recommend and will never return

My best friend & I stayed 1 night after hiking old rag, it was a nice spot, clean with outhouses, they also offered horseback riding sessions at an additional cost. Great spot!

This location is pretty amazing. Right in the Blue Ridge Mountains you are surrounded.
The camp is easy to find with a beautiful drive in and out with restaurants and eateries near by.
Lots to do and I'll be back soon.

Graves Mountain. No cell service.
Arrived after dark. The signage was not clear but quickly found a spot (open field) and set up camp. Didn’t download directions to Old Rag but found it quickly with directions from the lodge. Dinner buffet style at the lodge was fantastic. Overall a great camping adventure!!!

They had an apple festival going on during our stay which was very fun. They clearly have a good community. We hiked Old Rag and this camp was a nice short drive away! The restaurant was okay but the nearby store sold pretty delicious sandwiches. Great place!

This is one of the coolest campground I’ve ever visited in virginia. First time boondocking too. Great to see all kinds of horses on the campground and the bathrooms are well kept. The hot water showers are a ++. Will definitely come back!

Great little campground, its FCFS so you can camp anywhere that isn’t roped off. Only drawback to this place is you could hear the highway (albeit not that loud) from where I camped. However with that being said I still had a great time.

I had THE BEST time at Graves Mountain Farm. It was easy to find a spot to camp. There is a Lodge near the campground where they have food and a gift shop, There was a live Appalachian Mountain folk band playing when I showed up. It was ideal. I highly recommend it!

Overall good experience camping here. Nice views and close to Shenandoah.
Other campers however were extremely loud. Riding around and blasting music until 2 am right next to our tent. We ended up moving sites after our first night and found a nice quiet spot next to the stream and could actually enjoy our peace. I feel like there should be some enforcement with people who have no respect for others.

It’s a great place to camp. Lots of open space to find a spot. Definitely had more space to myself than most campgrounds. There are some rocks around the tree line that are good for making a fire pit (suggested by host). The porta potties were clean. 👍

We had a great time. I loved being able to pick our camp site. It was nice to have the lodge close by. It was close to some of the trails in Shenandoah. (Not trail head but the back side of them)
