Hilltop with views of the mountains facing east and west. Close to Harrisonburg. Several areas to camp in, take your pick. Nice shady wooded area overlooking Joes Creek. Be happy to give you a tour of the mushroom farm. Learn more about this land: The wooded area is next to my house. There's about 4 acres to explore and a gravel road rarely traveled for a nice walk to a view for a great sunset.  Harrisonburg is 5 minutes from here and has lots of night life, micro breweries etc. I have long power cords if you need electric at the campsite. You may hear owls hooting at night.  The campsite is under white pines with a thick bed of pine needles. There are several campsites under the red cedar trees that are naturally bug and mosquito resistant.     Shenandoah National Park is about 45 minutes away if you go to the 33 entrance and 45 minutes away to go to the Luray entrance. Lots of bears there and hikes to waterfalls. No hunting there.  Solar panels provide half of my energy needs. GW National forest has lots of hiking and mt biking and is half an hour away. Great views of the mountains from the  campsite area.  I'm dedicated to having lots of native plants and trees. I do not spray any pesticides.  Plenty of free firewood. Not too far off interstate 81.  I give tours of the mushroom farm whenever the weather isn't below freezing. I don't recommend anything larger than a conversion van. Very small pull behind campers are OK . All campers are required to leave every day from 1 to 5. Belongings may be kept here.The wooded area is next to my house.

Exactly what we were looking for. Affordable overnight spot near JMU for our camper van with bathroom, hot shower, and enough electricity for our small heater. Orv was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable.

Friendly backyard campsites
Orv is friendly and accommodating. The sites are near his home and vary from pine covered to open sky. Restroom is inside his house, well stocked and clean. Power outlet is outside back door. Excellent cell service. Although near main road with traffic noise in the evening, no issue overnight. Big fire rings to use. Good trees for hammocks. I would stay here again and recommend it.

Fun experience
Orv was a great host. I made last minute reservations and he was very accommodating. He offered his wood for the fire pit which saved me from having to find some. I was very grateful for that!!! He offered a bathroom and shower, but I had my own. It was a little closer to the highway than I would have liked, but that was the only drawback. It got quiet at night. I would definitely go back!!

Neutral
It was...different. There are no designated camp sites. The host, a nice guy, met me when I arrived and said "set up anywhere." I had a hammock and found a couple trees (decorated with some metal art things) and got set up. Meanwhile, the mosquitos were eating me alive. Several areas of standing water (tarps, knick knacks, etc) doesn't help that situation. There were a few cats roaming around, but they weren't a bother. You have to go into the house to use the bathroom. Had to step over and around some clutter, but the bathroom itself was clean. You're not at a farm in the typical sense, more of a backyard. Not really a bad experience, but I probably wouldn't stay again.

Hawk’s Nest
Excellent Hipcamp. Plenty of shade,perfect for van lifers,small teardrop rigs,tents. Host ran a cord to my site and furnished power. Ask for a tour of the mushroom farm. Give it a try you won’t find a better place to kick back for a couple days and ⛺️ at Orv’s place. Five ⭐️.

Hidden Gem in Linville Edom area
Orv was a great host during our stay, and he has such a beautiful, unique property just outside of Harrisonburg! Orv greeted us when we arrived and showed us the campsites & facilities in the house. He was gracious enough to show us his mushroom farm and how he grows them. Shaver Mill Rd, which runs parallel to his property, is a great road to walk. A one mile walk to the top of the hill gets you to 360 views of the Shenandoah Valley and the surrounding Blue Ridge. Perfect for sunrise and/or sunset! Really enjoyed learning of Orv’s ties to this property and local knowledge of the area. It sealed the deal for our returning to this site when we visit Harrisonburg. Just an all-around great experience!
