This site is truly amazing. Great escape from the city! Will definitely be back again.

Scenic but Incomplete Experience
We recently stayed at this vineyard campsite and left with mixed feelings. The views were breathtaking, with mountains, sunsets, and picturesque grapevines making it a unique experience. Its location, less than two hours from DC, made it a convenient weekend escape, and the restroom was impressively clean.
However, there were some significant downsides. The vineyard is currently closed, with no wine available, and the vines themselves are inaccessible, which was disappointing given that the listing didn’t clarify this. (Make sure to message the host before booking!) Barking dogs at night were a constant disturbance, likely due to nearby farms and the presence of coyotes, which we could hear throughout the night. Additionally, privacy between the two main campsites was lacking, and there was a shortage of toilet paper, which ran out quickly. The campsites by the vines also lacked shade, so I’d recommend bringing a cabana or umbrella for daytime coverage.
One strange encounter happened when another camper arrived on Sunday afternoon. The host was nowhere to be found, leaving the camper confused and without any direction. We ended up showing them to their site and explaining where the restrooms and firewood were. While we didn’t mind helping, it’s not something we should have had to handle.
Overall, the site has potential, but we’d only consider returning if the vineyard reopens and the experience improves.

Vineyard views at sunset
Privacy, space, and beautiful views of vineyard at sunset. Spacious restroom facility with antibacterial soap and paper towels. Wonderful host. We were able to buy a bottle of his Chardonnay and loved it! This is an operational farm so there are some farm noises but nothing disturbing to the experience or privacy. The host was welcoming and available when needed but not intrusive at all.

Pretty but very noisy dog
Overall the site was nice, with a clean restroom and lots of amenities, but sadly there is a neighbor’s dog who barked the whole night, making our tranquil glamping experience far from tranquil. Also, and maybe I misread the listing, but we had fellow campers with us both nights (two different groups), so not as private as I had hoped, but I suppose better than being at a state park. The views of the vineyard were superb, but not sure I would stay here again just because of the noisy dog for the cost.

Tent Camping with Vineyard views
The site was overgrown and closer to the other site than advertised. On two nights we had three camps set-up on a two site campground. Overall, the area looked abandoned and in disrepair. We never met the host. Great view, but that’s about it. For the amount we paid, I would have expected the grass to be mowed, at the very least.

Tent Camping with Vineyard views
We were excited to camp here since it’s a unique site (vineyard/winery). We booked expecting to camp and enjoy the winery but unfortunately, the winery is temporarily closed. We didn’t know this and it would have been nice to get a notice on this from the host. The nice worker there informed us that the winery was temporarily closed and unsure when it will reopen and we were pretty disappointed. The site with vineyard views was good and it had a picnic table and a fire pit. It’s a great spot to watch the stars and the area is pretty private. Cell service is not great so bring a book or movies downloaded if you need to occupy yourself while camping. A couple of things I’d like to point out for improvement is labeling the campsites and building signs on where to go upon arrival, building a simple outdoor shower is a nice touch, labeling the potable water supply on which hose to use, investing in having electricity in the camp sites, and notifying campers whether the winery is open/close. For $75 a night, I feel that electricity could be added (most state-ran campgrounds charge $50 with electric hook up). We’d go back again only if the winery is operational again.
