Welcome to our small Farm, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Madison County, Virginia. Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, we offer intimate nature-inspired cottages and camping on our 120-acre working farm. Enjoy an evening under the stars with fireflies and a campfire after a long day hike, fly fishing on one of our beautiful trout steams or touring the local vineyards and breweries. We currently offer one cottage, glamping and a few campsites for our guests. Our campsites are all private, located acres apart with tables, chairs, firepits, some elevated sleeping areas, some hammock spots and a few with a roof. Three of our spots require walking away from your vehicle, short distances. We have four drive-in sites that will accommodate two or three vehicles. We do not allow RVs or trailers on our main farm due to our narrow mountain driveway. Wisteria Camp has a private driveway, it can accommodate small RV/Trailers. Camper vans are welcome at the main farm! Our farm store includes our Animal Welfare Approved products such as Eggs, Chicken, Beef, Pork, Lamb and Dairy, as well as produce, jams, coffee and other items from our local community. We offer camping essentials, local art, bike rentals, farm experiences and tours. The property has miles of trails along mountain spring-fed streams, a small pond and access to three private acres on the Robinson River, a stocked Trout stream, just 2 miles down the road. Our property is centrally located to White Oak Canyon (20 minutes) and Old Rag Mountain (10 minutes) trailheads in the Shenandoah National Park as well as many vineyards and breweries. A few offerings on the farm. Tasting in the 1850s Chestnut log cabin, tubing trips, breakfast and picnic lunches, Animal experiences and Yoga. Please inquire about renting the property for private small events. Winter Camping: Please note that we can received significant snowfall in our area. 4WD may be required during the winter months.

Wisteria Farm offers a delightful camping experience with a range of private and well-equipped campsites. Guests frequently highlight the warm and welcoming nature of the hosts, especially Jennifer, who is praised for her helpfulness and responsiveness. The farm itself is a family-friendly environment, where visitors can enjoy interactions with farm animals and explore nearby trails and attractions. However, some reviews note the challenging terrain for larger trailers and occasional noise from neighboring properties, yet the serene landscape and proximity to nature remain strong draws for visitors.

Incredible campsite
The Birdsong campsite and overall property is one of the nicest we’ve ever been to! Directions were clear and campsite was easy to get to with our SUV. We were lacking in proper camping equipment, so the option to have a tent set up with an air mattress and incredibly cosy bed spread as incredible. The kitchen was decked out with everything we needed. The space is clean and pretty private (we went in winter so the trees were bare and we still couldn’t see any other campsite). Communicating with Jennifer was super easy and quick!

A Gem, even in the winter!
It was an amazing experience! Jennifer was very helpful since before our arrival keeping us updated on the weather. The view from Butterfly campsite is beautiful, the overall feel of the farm is wonderful and what makes it even more special is getting a farm tour from Jennifer and getting to meet all the animals. Our kids got to feed two baby lambs!

Great host/great campsite
This campsite is great for so many reasons. First, the host is awesome. They took the time to walk my daughter around introducing her to the farm animals, and play 20 questions about every animals name. (my daughter is very inquisitive when it comes to animals). Second, the location cannot be beat. It is an easy drive, the campsite is easily accessible, and it is close to great attractions. Lastly, the campsites themselves were well maintained. Also, the property has several options for campsites, but they are so dispersed, it feels like you have the whole place to yourself. We are already planning our return trip. When we got there my daughter told Jennifer this was her 2nd favorite campsite...by the time we left, she was convinced it was now her number one favorite campsite.

Hikes, Sunsets, and a great host
I received great detailed instructions in advance, and everything was all set up when we arrived. The tent space was flat gravel, there was plenty of room to park, and everything was stocked (wood for fire, soap/sponge/towel for washing dishes, and plenty of jugs of non potable water). The campsite had a great view of the sunset, we enjoyed walking the small network of trails on the property and meeting some of the animals (including an adorably pregnant goat), and we loved the proximity to hikes nearby - especially our favorite (Old Rag). Jennifer was lovely and very responsive, even providing us a canister to boil water one of the mornings we had an early chilly hike planned.
