We have 7+ very private acres along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, which has been in our family for over 50 years and where we currently live. You will arrive at our house, and the campsite is approximately 150 yds down the river trail. The campsite is completely private from our house. There’s great fishing, hiking, kayaking and canoeing from the property and also plenty more nearby. We’re only a few miles outside of Strasburg which offers great antique shops, dining, and a brewery with live music on weekends. Three night maximum permitted. **Note that the North Fork is a shallow river with a slate bottom. If you plan to wade, fish or swim in the river, you may want to bring some sturdy shoes to wear in the river.Pitch your tent on a large 11x12’ platform only a few feet from the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Enjoy peace and quiet, great fishing, kayaking and tubing, or just playing in the river. Complete privacy while camping, with small extra fees for use of our outdoor shower, kayaks and tubes and/or a shuttle up river (information on site).

Great Views & The Nicest Hosts
Mary & John were super nice & generous to us on our stay. We stayed on their built deck by the river and had more privacy than we had expected. Their 11 yr old black lab, Cooper, was SUPER friendly and just wanted to play with our 5 yr old dal, Maverick. We spent the night by the fire pit and in the morning, we walked through the trails by the river. It was gorgeous and very well maintained land.

Best place to relax
My husband and I loved the site. The views were spectacular. We were amazed by how clean and clear the river is. The deck is great because is flat, clean and you get to see the river being up high. The place was super quiet and relaxing. Kayaking was so much fun. John and Mary were great hosts, super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They had a bouquet of flowers freshly cut from their garden and a bottle of wine at the site waiting for us because they knew we were celebrating our anniversary. That was an incredible gesture that we will never forget. We got to spend time with Cooper their dog, who came to check on us from time to time (he’s so cute!). Looking forward to coming back to their beautiful campsite.

10/10 would recommend!
The site was very private and clean, we enjoyed the quiet of the river and insects at night! The hosts greeted us when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a fabulous experience!

Mary and John are so great! They were welcoming and helpful while still giving us privacy. The campsite is great and the river is very clean and nice. Our dog loved playing in the river with Cooper, the resident doggo of the camp. The availability of a hot shower made it even better, we honestly wish we would have booked an additional night.
