Galleywinter Farm is a 20-acre working horse farm with an organic garden and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our whole farm fosters a sense of connection with nature, deep restfulness and relaxation. Explore our woods trails, beautiful spots to sit, or observe the horses. Our yoga and mediation studio with its gorgeous smooth wood floors offers serenity, a space to sit, stretch, or practice yoga. Galleywinter is a perfect place for a quiet getaway, great hiking trails just 4 miles away - guests have easy access to Shenandoah National Forest, George Washington National Forest, Skyline Drive, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the Appalachian Trail. The Blue Ridge Tunnel is also a famous, historic site just minutes away. We are nearby many local breweries, restaurants, good grocery stores, art & antique shops. Great for folks wanting a quiet and restorative getaway. Our check-in window is between 3:00- 7:00, if you need to check in later message us and we'll try to accommodate. If it is significantly later, you can purchase this as an extra. We do observe quiet hours after 9:00 pm to ensure peace and quiet for everyone on the property.

Forest Site
We booked this site last minute so we could enjoy a weekend outside the park. We really enjoyed the quietness of the site and the outdoor shower! Good place to see some stars when the sky is clear.

Deck Site
Beautiful site with some privacy
My friend and I stayed at the zen deck campsite location on Gail’s land. It was perfect! My friend slept in his camper van parked right outside of the fence, and I stayed in my tent on the deck. The campsite area is fenced in and provides privacy from the other campsite on the property. The views were beautiful and we got to watch the horses roam around on the other side of the property. There site had a campfire area, small table, and cooking grate to place over the fire. There is a shared outhouse and shower located near the barn. We were a 20 minute drive from Humback Rock hike, which was spectacular. I’d highly recommend this site!

Forest Site
Awesome off the grid camping spot!
A truly lovely property that is absolutely gorgeous in autumn! Gail was also wonderfully accommodating and responsive. We camped at the Forest Site and enjoyed it very much- it's wooded but close to the horses too so best of both worlds. The three available campsites are within view of one another but spaced far enough apart so that you don't feel like you're on top of each other. We felt we had enough privacy for our needs, definitely more so than a state park generally offers. Highly recommend and I'm sure we will be back!

Meadow Site
Nice, clean and beautiful property
Check in was easy and our site was nice. There was a great map provided so we could explore the property. Firewood was available which was nice, though we had brought our own. Over the fire was a grate for cooking which came in handy.

Cozy and easy!
Really great experience. Gail was very welcoming and accommodating. There were horses hanging out around the camp when we woke up, so that was an unexpected treat.

The Barn at Galleywinter
Such a sweet and relaxing stay at Gail’s farm! We cooked over the fire a few steps away from the barn, enjoyed the warm forest shower, and stargazed in the pitch dark. Gail is gracious and helpful, providing extra little things we needed, like fire kindling and dish soap. Will definitely come back!
