Streams and potholes are common on flat areas, especially in the area betweem the two bridges.

Rapidan Camps is a family-owned and operated cooperative camp, providing a secluded vacation area in the Blue Ridge mountains. We rent to members and to responsible non-members.  The camp consists of five cabins, surrounded by forest land owned by the state of Virginia (the Rapidan Wildlife Management Area), which is ringed by Shenandoah National Park. The Rapidan River, a pristine cold-water mountain trout stream tumbling over large rocks, flows adjacent to the site, which is approximately 15 miles from the town of Madison, Virginia, or 100 miles from Washington, DC, by car--or about four miles from Big Meadows along Skyline Drive and the Appalachian Trail on foot.

The four original cabins were constructed by the US Marine Corps as an extension to Camp Hoover (the predecessor of Camp David) within Shenandoah National Park one mile upriver.

Non-members may now receive confirmation of their reservations 90 days in advance.

 
This site is maintained by Tom Jones, the President of Rapidan Camps. You can e-mail Tom at tjones@spril.com.
