Only 15 minutes from the Swift Run Gap Entrance to the Shenandoah National Park our farm has a mountain feel.
Our 17 acre farm was originally part of a larger family farm and moonshine stills were once in operation on the property, now we grow veggies and berries and raise chickens for eggs and meat. The Mayapples are prolific in spring and the fall colors are terrific.
The campsites are in the woods and around the field a distance away from the house. There are walking trails and a pond and a hammock for relaxing, close to great hiking, summits and waterfalls, 50 minutes to Old Rag. Many local wineries to discover and many historical sites including Montpelier and Monticello and Charlottesville and UVA
New as 2023** the barn referred to in early reviews is now a music studio and no longer for use by campers. Ask us about music nights.

Tom and Carol's campsite offers a peaceful and private retreat surrounded by nature, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle. The hosts are praised for their warmth and helpfulness, often going out of their way to ensure guests feel comfortable and welcomed. Guests appreciate the well-maintained amenities, including a unique outdoor shower and clean composting toilet, which add a touch of comfort to the rustic experience. While some guests noted the need for a little extra lighting at the larger campsites, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.
We absolutely loved staying at Carol and Tom's. Carol's corner was warm and inviting. There is potable water nearby, shower and your own bathroom. Everything was perfect.
Beautiful and secluded camping space on their land! Tom and Carole were so lovely and welcoming. Nighttime was quiet and calm. Great little trails to walk on the perimeters too, our dog was a fan. It felt like an incredibly private but safe space. We will be back!
i went tent camping with four of my friends and it wouldn’t have been such a wonderful trip without carol and tom! they have the cutest property and they’re such friendly people that will work with you to ensure you have the best experience! we went on a weekend of a bad hurricane where they were getting lots of rain and wind but she made sure we would be safe by giving us an emergency place to stay and everything. they have wonderful communication and help to accommodate the best they can! thank you so much carol and tom!!
We felt as if we were children being told what to do. I would feel more comfortable if I knew the extra rules to the campsite before we got there. Also, I paid for a bundle of firewood to be at the campsite when we got there. We had to get it ourselves. Other than that, it is very remote and quiet. There is no traffic noise and the sound of nature is fantastic. If you have a fear of chickens, this is also not the spot for you. We did not mind the composting toilet or the showers except that we Didn’t have hot water, but I am only assuming it’s because the pilot light was out.
