Mane Gait is conveniently located right off route 81 and can accommodate large rigs. You won't find better views of the blue ridge mountains on this gorgeous working horse farm. We have hiking trails through beautiful private scenery for beginners to advanced hikers. Pets are welcome if leashed! Picnic area on site as well as laundry machine. We are 10 minutes from downtown historic Lexington Virginia that provides great restaurants and lots of history in the charming town of Lexington. Site 2 should be booked for smaller campers around 25 feet. Site 1 is better for larger campers.

I love animals, so the idea of camping at an equestrian center was awesome. I found it when I was heading north on a long road trip but apparently, was driving into a snowstorm. This place was just off the highway easy to find. Everything was already covered in snow so it was hard to know where to park but the host’s brother in law saw I was a bit confused and helped get all set up. Sydney was also extremely responsive and reached out immediately. The storm passed and in the morning I was able to view the mountain range clearly - nestled on a hill. My dog enjoyed the snow and space quite freely - there were no horses in the stalls outside because of the storm but I did get to see them in the distance and on my way out in the morning. I really enjoyed it and would come back!

I had a wonderful stay at Mane Gait Equestrian Center/#1.. The property was pristine and plenty of walking trails to enjoy. And where else can you see such a beautiful view in the morning while having a cup of coffee?… the Blue Ridge Mountains along the skyline were really fabulous. Thank you so much Sydney! I would definitely stay here again.

The host was extremely communicative to ensure we got to the right spot and switched to a more ideal location due to rainy conditions. Beautiful, well maintained horse farm that was nice to wake up to. All of the amenities were as described and useful. Quick but great trip!

Great spot! But As we checked in late, more signs leading to the campsite would be helpful

Beautiful property, but flies!
It's a beautiful property with a friendly host! Keep in mind - you'll be parked next to a couple barns in the back, potentially with big piles of manure. While we were there for a week, we did have some decently warm weather, meaning flies are abundant. When it cooled in the evening, it wasn't as much of a problem. We had several fans, but couldn't seem to get rid of them. Dealt with flies in our van for a couple days after leaving the property.
