Stories from the community

1 night at Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

We had an incredible time at passage creek! We stayed at the cedar grove 1 site (all of the cedar grove sites are pretty much the same, all great). The host Eric was great to work with and had everything taken care of for our visit. The morning sunrise over the ridge was a fantastic way to start the day! We spent some time up and down passage creek fishing - didn’t catch much, don’t think there are a lot of fish in this stretch, but it was beautiful and peaceful piece of water…just steps from the campsite. My son did catch a bunch of fish (including one of the infamous 5+ pounders) from the AMAZING pond they built on site. It’s spring fed and nearly crystal clear…just beautiful. Be prepared since there’s no power or water, but the port-a-john’s are very clean and well maintained. Firewood available as well. It was a great time - will definitely be coming back if ever anywhere near the area!!

2 nights at Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

Loved the site. The bathrooms were exceptional. Host was very communicative. We loved the horses just over the stream. The lake was an awesome bonus that our kids loved. All in all a wonderful experience.

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

This tidy site was by a lovely stream, with a well-maintained firepit and a clean portapotty a little ways away. This is the first time I've ever had an actual basin with tap water by my tent! The closest thing to "glamping" our family has ever done, as a result. Our 8 year old was delighted with everything--the stream (which supplied the best noise for sleeping), the large site where we could spread out a picnic blanket surrounded by trees, the firepit where we made s'mores, the sink(!) where we could wash off said s'mores, and of course the horses. We were there in early spring with not much foliage so you do spy some RVs a little ways off but that might be less true with full foliage. I would recommend this place to anyone with young kids or who just want a really easy but beautiful, if not wild, site to camp. Also, very organized.

29 nights at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

This was the BEST camping at the little goat farm than all the other 22 camp sites we have been. We have cancelled our other camp and asked Bob if we could stay another month. We have really enjoyed feeding chickens, little goats, beautiful alpacas not to mention so much we have learned. The views are spectacular, swimming and fishing the clear clean lake and the exquisite quiet and calm of this land all take my breath away. They dont have many sites available so you are lucky if you can get in plus the other 2 campers have stayed on since last year because they all love being here too. You couldn't ask for better hosts than Bob and Susane!

Weekend Trip to CASA VARGAS

Camping on Juan's property is peaceful and quiet. This was my 3rd time camping here and will be back again!!

3 nights at Dry RV Pad - 55min from DC - 30amp

Great stay while in the area visiting family and friends. Super convenient for our needs. Thank you for hosting us and making your space available on Hipcamp. Sandy, Mike and Charlie.

Weekend Trip to Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

We loved our night on Kimberly’s land! We have a small campervan and so were able to stay at her Peaceful Pond site, which lived up to its name. The working farm can be seen from the site, but is far enough away to offer the privacy we wanted. It was also nice to have the option of using Kimberly’s clean portapotty. We’d love to return!

1 night at HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

Everyone was friendly, the site and potties were very clean, and the creek was great!

Weekend Trip to Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

We absolutely loved our time at Eric’s place. We stayed at the spot by the lake and truly loved every minute. The property is stunning and very well manicured and cared for. Our kids fished and kayaked for hours on end, we listened to the crazy frogs, walked to the creek, disconnected and truly had the best time. Even the portapotties were clean! We couldn’t recommend this place more. We also hiked the Buzzard Rock trail which is only a few minutes down the road. If you’re looking to unplug from life and just rest and soak in nature, this is the place!

Weekend Trip to Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

What a great place. Camped at site 2 and it had sun and shade. Awesome site! The whole property is just spectacular. Kids explored and caught their fair share of fish. We will be back Thanks for a great experience

Weekend Trip to CASA VARGAS

Lovely spot and smooth logistics! A couple of houses in view through the trees and across the lake, but generally quiet.

Weekend Trip to Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

Lovely place near the lake, enjoyed the horseshoes and the fire pit, looked like there were hookups but we didn't use them. Great hosts also.

Quiet and beautiful. Loved the spot and will be back again!

Weekend Trip to Mountain Lake Retreat

Absolutely lovely home. Lots of thoughtful amenities and great fenced in yard.

Weekend Trip to Beaver Cove

Incredible property and gracious host. Had my 5 year old with me and we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this place!!

28 nights at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

My stay has been amazing. Susane and Bob are very welcoming and kind. Learning how to feed the goats, chickens, alpaca, and donkey is interesting and fun. All of the animals are fed well and cared for. The work makes the day go by fast and there is something to do everyday to keep things interesting. It has been a pleasure to experience what working on a goat farm is all about. I definitely recommend staying.

Weekend Trip to Charity’s Hope Family Farm Resort

This is a single tent location on a Therapy Farm so amazing. Highly recommended IF you can actually book it snce if only one tent allowed at a tme.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

Keith's family farm is gorgeous and exactly as described. He was a welcoming and pleasant host. We felt safe and comfortable at the site. Hookups were appreciated and functioning well. The heated and plumbed barn bathroom was splendid in the cold freeze of night. Their horses were majestic and a great sight to wake up to. Location was great and well described for a calm arrival. There may be farm dogs off leash roaming the site - they are kind but dominant. Best to avoid contact (with or without leash) if you have your own dog or cat. We would happily stay again.

Weekend Trip to Dry RV Pad - 55min from DC - 30amp

This was a very nice and quiet place to stay! I felt completely safe, and the rope lighting was a neat addition to the site. The water wasn't at the site, due to it being winter, but Suzette allowed me to fill my fresh water tank at her house, just up the hill from the site. I would definitely request to come back if I'm ever in the area again!

1 night at Little Goat Farm at the Lake

What a wonderful experience! I'm a traveling nurse and my spouse and I stayed here during my contract. My spouse worked 4 hours Monday through Friday on the farm to cover our stay. The biggest part of the work is feeding the animals and then little things here and there around the farm. We didn't realize how much work a farm is until this stay. Susane and Bob have been wonderful hosts and we would definitely stay here again. We travel with dogs and there are plenty of places for the dogs to explore. It's extremely quiet here so after a day of hustle and bustle this has been a wonderful spot to come back to. If you are looking for a unique experience, look no further! Goats, chickens and bunnies are waiting for new faces.

Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch

5 sites · RVs, Tents75 acres · Fort Valley, VA

Passage Creek is stocked with Trout. 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 consists of 40 acres of low-land pasture, groomed perfectly for camping groups large or small. The Lakeside Mountain Stream site offers the option to camp on our 5-acre lake or camp creekside in the Cedar Grove sites along the banks of Passage Creek. Creek access varies at each site depending on the bank. The Ceadar Grove sites are just a short walk to the lake and beach amenities. The property has 1/2mi of Passage Creek wrapping around all the campsites, as well as, the privet lake to enjoy. I have all kinds of boats to try out and the waters are stocked with Bass, Blue Gill, and Catfish. Please catch and release. Passage Creek is stocked with Rainbow, Brown, Tiger, and Brook Trout throughout the year. The prime waters are just a mile upstream from Pastimes on Passage Creek Ranch. The Creekside Cedar sites are located within a sparse, groomed, Cedar grove along the banks of Passage Creek. 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 It's just boondocking. Pack it in, Pack it out. Generators are allowed but please be aware of the other sites and direct the noise away. Groups of up to 25 people per site can realistically fit. Each site is very large with car camping space included. The Lakeside Mountain Stream site is very secluded, nestled between the mountains and the lake. It overlooks our 5-acre lake with mirror mountain views in the background. This site also 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. The road can accommodate bumper pulls up to about 35ft to make the turn at the site. However, it is best suited for lighter traffic and smaller tent groups. At higher capacity, single-file parking is needed along the lake road. Max 10 people in order to keep some grass on the ground. Please, if you need more space - go to one of the Cedar Grove sites. 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. Additionally, the local towns (Front Royal, Strasburg, Woodstock) offer their own charm and wide range of activities and attractions.

HUNTER'S PARK BY DC

13 sites · RVs, Tents27 acres · Damascus, MD

The campground is situated in the wooded area on the back of 27 acre horse farm which is known as "The Stables at Mezza Luna." There is Wi-Fi to all the sites. Every year in the spring there are 4-6 Thoroughbred foals born that eventually will become racehorses. They live on the farm until they are 2 years old and then they go off to begin their racing career. In the daytime, when you are not sitting around your campfire, you can walk the fence lines and visit with the Mares and Foals or just watch them frolic in the fields. Hint! "They love peppermints, carrots and apples." Who knows, you might get to meet a future Kentucky Derby winner. Nearby attractions include: BLACK HILLS REGIONAL PARK (15 minutes) for boating, hiking or biking Vineyard 61 (5 minutes) Stone Silo Brewery (5 Minutes) Leechwood Haunted Forest (5 Minutes) October weekends only There are also chickens and peacocks that are very anxious to receive your love and affection with any type of treat such as raisins. Kids can even go in the chicken coop and pick out their very own egg they can cook for their breakfast. For the energetic campers and kids there are also lots of trails that you can walk or hike on and there is a small stream the kids can play in. There also is a playground with swings, monkey bars, seesaw and trampoline. There is a dumpster in front of the barn for you to place your trash. Please drop off during your stay or on your way out of the property. Don't miss out out on this hidden gem just minutes from our nation's capital.

Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

3 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Rohrersville, MD

Peaceful camping with privacy on a 160-acre historic farm! Minutes from Harpers Ferry, Antietam Battlefield and the C&O Canal to name a few. We are within an hour of Gettysburg and within an hour and a half of DC if you're planning a day trip. We have a prime central location with close access to so many things to do. This beautiful property is nestled in a narrow valley between Elk Ridge and South Mountain with incredible sunrises, sunsets and starlit night skies. Walk out to the fishing pond, or follow the trails around the pastures to meet the cattle grazing in our pastures. We have Scottish Highlands and Black Angus grazing as well as Alpacas. We also have beautiful peacocks on the property. We are a working farm so expect to see tractors and you may even see us baling hay or tending to the cattle. You may smell some animal smells which we work at keeping to a minimum but again, we are a working farm. It’s a true farm experience. Also, please keep in mind that during warm weather you may encounter some bugs. Gnats and flies are always a possibility and of course at times they can be worse than others. That can always be a possibility when camping or being outdoors. Bring bug spray, citronella and anything else to help with insects. If you stay by the pond you may hear frogs which personally I enjoy hearing but some may not. Consider bringing a generator and run a fan if you think the sound might bother you or some way to block sounds. We enjoy talking to our guests so feel free to stop us for a chat. At the RV sites you have 30 and 50 amp power as well as water. All the water spickets are potable and drinkable.

Little Goat Farm at the Lake

1 site · RV, Tent40 acres · Nokesville, VA

Sleep with friendly goats & alpacas. Fishing & hiking along the lake or trails. Our farm grows grapes, sunflowers, herbs of lavender, mint, sage, rosemary, and a huge varied plethora of flowers. We have been established for decades. The fishing is great as Va Fish and Game stock the lake each spring with bass, perch, catfish and even walleye. Many trails abound yet you can walk to a country general store from the farm. Mobile home living here is like no other as you don’t have nosy neighbors within an arms length away. You have the opposite with tranquility, and fresh air. Your senses become keener and nights allow you to sleep in the quiet country. No dogs unless owner agrees prior to arrivals

Labyrinth, Trails and Solitude

11 sites · RVs, Tents116 acres · Orange , VA

116 acres of hills and dells. Miles of hiking trails marked and well maintained. A small pond and beautiful labyrinth. Over 50 acres of deep wilderness woods. General Lee and his troops once camped here. But they cleaned up pretty good, so all you can really see is the old spring and wagon road. This is a working herb and small fruit farm. We have been experimenting with all kinds of exotic herbs and trees. Some make it, many don't. We sell dried herb teas. In addition we have 5 different kinds of bamboo. We use the bamboo for so many things. In the 5 people per site we are considering adults, not children... bring a whole crew of kids (try to have enough supervision - if there is such a concept!) The kids have such a great time out here... it is amazing. They love the labyrinth! It seems like we made this place for the kids in ourselves and when actual kids see it they go wild. The last bunch were running and yelping with their picked flowers all round and round in the labyrinth for hours! Also, if you want peace and quiet - and we have children booked - we will put you out at one beautiful remote campsites away from all the kids running and singing.
