Fort Valley, VA · 5 sites · Tents, RVs

Voted Top VA site! See Reviews. Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch is conveniently located at the north end of Fort Valley. The recreational draw to this area is hard to beat in VA, and this property has it all for an amazing outdoor weekend! The ranch comprises 40 acres of lowland acreage designated for the camp, including a 5-acre lake. The Cedar Grove sites 1, 2, and 3 are along the banks of Passage Creek located within a sparse, groomed Cedar grove. They are all a short walk (or drive) to the lake and beach amenities. Each site has varying access to the creek, so check out the site details. These sites are extra large and can accommodate multiple family groups, as well as, travel trailers of all sizes up to off-road motorcoaches in site 1. There are no hookups, so just boondocking. Pack it in, Pack it out. Generators are allowed but please be aware of the other sites and direct the noise away. The Lakeside Mountain Stream site is very secluded, nestled between the mountains and the lake. It overlooks our 5-acre lake with mountain views in the background. It's on the opposite side of the lake from the Cedar Sites. This site has its own dock and is just a short walk down a mowed trail to a beautiful section of Passage Creek. An additional seasonal mountain stream can cascade behind the site and run under it to feed the lake when the conditions are right. It's a delicate site, so the accommodations and group size is strictly limited. Check out the reviews and extensive gallery for many options of this amazing property! Locally, the North end of Fort Valley offers many great hiking trails, trout fishing, rock climbing, horseback riding, and the Elizabeth Furnace day-use park. Taskers Gap OHV/ATV park is a short drive south, and the valley is sandwiched between both forks of the Shenandoah River for those looking to paddle.

Very nice, secluded campsite. Definitely need a suv or truck but getting there is easy and had a great tent and hammock set up

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Very easy to work with on making the reservation. Great location with scenic views at the overlook close to the Bear's Den. Friendly staff at the main house. Set up your site during the day; check in with the staff between 5-9 pm.

4 nights at Camp Kilo

The camp was great, it was a good option for someone looking for a cheap shelter. There was no electricity in the cabin, but then again there's no electricity in a tent either. Dave built an amazing trail going up the mountain behind the cabin with an excellent view of the valley.

Mary and John were great hosts! I'll 100% be back for another visit. The sound of the river in the evening time with a great view of the stars made this trip. I would 100% reccomend.

Weekend Trip to Camp Shenandoah Meadows

My friend and I stayed for Saturday through Tuesday and couldn’t be more impressed by the camp and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The views are beautiful (sunrise especially), the camp is clean, the bathrooms and showers were better then my dorm hall in college so for camping it was a 10/10, the showers were warm, and the host was quick to respond with any problems we had. Despite being pretty far out in nowhere I had only a little issue finding service. Only note of warning is that the roads need some serious maintenance. The road into camp was rough but my tiny sedan was able to do it but the roads to the campsite section would have been completely inaccessible to most cars with less clearance. Overall amazing, I fully plan to return next time I’m in the area and have already recommended it to others.

Come meet Buster and George on a farm tour while staying at Butterfly Camp!

Convenient location for anyone headed to check out Shenandoah! Nice local options nearby for food and drink. The site itself was lovely, nice views, plenty of space. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Weekend Trip to Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

We really enjoyed our weekend on site two at this property. Site two is really large and the most private imo. It’s the last site when driving in so no other campers are driving by. There is no shore at this site to sit down by the river but I knew that when booking. There is a very steep spot at the site for river access with a rope for help but it just dropped straight into the water. Might be different with lower water levels. The site was perfect for stargazing. Our dog loved all the open space for running. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of the river. We loved being able to leave cash for wood that was stacked at the site when we arrived. Overall we enjoyed the space and had a really relaxing weekend.

Weekend Trip to Private Paradise on Rivers Bend

Such a beautiful property. My son and I camped at Site 3. The fire pit and picnic table were very convenient for our overnight stay. Communication with Graham was quick and easy. We’ll definitely be back.

1 acre campsite has a bathhouse with flushing toilet, mini outdoor kitchen, solar outdoor shower, tent pad, table for 8, firepit with grill and horseshoe pit.

Weekend Trip to Watercress Inn at Landon Farm

This spot is amazing. It came with an abundance of firewood. It's secluded and next to a hiking trail that leads right down to the farm store. I would stay here every weekend if I could

Our 1850 log cabin will eventually be restored for guest accommodations.

Weekend Trip to Watercress Inn at Landon Farm

We absolutely loved our stay at the Fiddle Head Camp! The property was beautiful, and Jennifer and John were incredibly welcoming. The campsite itself felt remote and was beautiful, while still having some amenities on site. But the real stars of the show were the animals. We loved all of the fur and feather babies on the site. We highly recommend the Snacks and Cuddles experience! The proximity to Old Rag and Bear Church Rock was a huge plus for us. We’d love to stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Pretty camp site right next to the Appalachian trail at a great price, and very friendly owners. I 100% recommend. Just bring lighter fluid or fire starting logs if it’s foggy because you won’t be able to start a fire otherwise with the air that wet. This is what happened to me, and the air made all my fire wood unusable. I tried for 3 hours :(

2 nights at North Fork River Retreat

This was a beautiful site situated right on the river that felt completely private. John was readily accessible for anything we needed and was friendly and helpful in recommending some local hikes. There’s a beautiful area with a fire ring, chairs, and picnic table overlooking the river that guests are welcome to use. Unfortunately we chose a rainy weekend but it didn’t dampen our spirits at this lovely location. 100% recommend!

Weekend Trip to Watercress Inn at Landon Farm

We really enjoyed our stay here! We arrived later in the evening from DC but in the morning went down to the farm stand where we met Jennifer and all her various sweet animals. Our site was nice and private and we made a great fire with wood purchased right near the site. Will absolutely be booking to stay here again!

Tjhe site is down a 100 ft X 14 ft wide narrow drive.

Love this cozy country get away. My family and I love how quiet it is in the country. The sounds of the farm animals and being so close to nature is priceless!
