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.

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.

Butterfly Camp: Near Shenandoah NP

We had an excellent time visiting butterfly farm. This is truly a unique place to camp. We took our little one with us who is still getting used to camping and the environment was so interesting with plenty of hiking trails that were just challenging enough. We loved visiting all the animals. You can tell Jennifer is passionate about her farm and the creatures who inhabit. We will definitely visit again!

Sparrow Hammock Camp

Jenn and John were incredibly friendly and generous hosts for our 3 night stay. They helped us a lot with finding hikes and places to explore in the area. Our campsite was well maintained, private, and in a beautiful location. We loved getting to come back to all our new animal friends greeting us at the farm store. Bottle feeding the young lambs was a huge highlight! It's clear that the hosts care deeply about their land and all the residents. We'd definitely come stay again!

Moonshine near Old Rag SHEN NP

What an amazing spot! So close to Old Rag and wineries. The farm was private with walking trails. The cabin was nice to sleep in at night. It had everything we needed to cook. Hope to come back!
