Butterfly Camp near Old Rag Mountain SNP

My family wanted to go camping in a tent near or at Shenandoah, and this was the PERFECT place! We got farm fresh eggs and meat during our stay and got to pet some really cute animals. Jen was so nice and helpful and met all of our needs. It is about a 20 minute drive to get into Shenandoah but you can’t beat this location. Our family felt safe and we are excited to plan our next stay here!

BEST CAMPING EXPERIENCE

My kids and I really enjoyed our stay on Jennifer’s farm. She really went out of her way to show my girls all the animals and let them hold some of the baby goats which was a real treat. She provided hand drawn maps which were very helpful! They really make everything so easy- all you have to do is show up. So many thoughtful touches at the campsite. We’ll be back!

Butterfly Camp: Near Shenandoah NP

True to its name, there are so many butterflies. The view is incredible. It was clean, spacious and secluded while still being close to several things, including a brewery/winery within walking distance. Jennifer was a wonderful host and I loved meeting the animals and visiting the farm store. The sink, outhouse and outdoor shower were nice additions. I hope to visit again soon!

Butterfly Camp exceeded expectations!

Beautiful, private camp area with amazing views of the stars. The farm store is stocked with a well curated selection of camp needs and wants (snacks, natural toiletries, artisan crafts) and their Animal Welfare Approved meats were delicious!! Kind and responsive hosts with helpful recommendations for the area! Loved our stay and want to go back!

Star filled skies and animal filled

We had a lovey stay at the butterfly camp! It was my nephew’s first camping trip and he had a great time. The site was pretty, peaceful and had some nice touches. A grille over fire pit for cooking, chairs and a couple small tables, there was plenty of water for cleaning and washing w a small sink. They also offered a tent and cookware for a small fee tho we ended up using our own. And plenty of firewood! There are some nice little paths around the property as well as sweet farm animals. We stopped by the farm store and Jennifer offered lots of suggestions w maps for nearby trails as well. Was a beautiful time to be in Shenandoah. Highly recommend!
