Mountaintop Camping

Mountaintop Camping in Harpers Ferry

Our mountaintop campsites are located on our scenic wooded Virginia mountaintop property and are the perfect campground for our campers who want the full outdoor camping experience. After a day of activities pitch your tent and relax under the stars near a crackling fire in the great Virginia outdoors.

Each campsite comes equipped with a picnic table and a fire pit/charcoal grill combo. Our nicely appointed bathhouse with hot showers and indoor plumbing is only a short walk away. All campsites are located on our private mountaintop, secured each evening at the gate, providing access only to campers and cabin guests.

Each site accommodates 1 tent with up to 5 people. Reserve your firewood during booking of your campsite and pick it up after checking in.

Amenities

Picnic table, charcoal grill and fire ring. Walking distance from bathhouse with indoor plumbing and hot showers, multiple scenic overlook points and our private river access. (No pets allowed on HFAC property).

Size

Mountaintop campsites fit 1 large or 2 small tents, comfortably sleeping 5. Additional guests after 5 will be charged an additional camper fee.

Firewood

Firewood is available for purchase on site. Please don’t bring firewood with you when you camp. If you find or buy wood, please don’t take any back home with you. Burn it all or give it to other campers. Foreign pests can travel with wood, and carrying firewood from one area to another can be detrimental to the local forest. We have firewood to purchase, or you can collect wood / kindling on the ground if found near the campsite.

Rates $7 a bundle
