Buffalo Gap Retreat
Description
Nestled in the foothills of the Potomac Highlands just outside of the Shenandoah Valley, we are only a short 2 hours from Washington or Baltimore and a bit more from Pittsburg. Less than 10 minutes to the charming riverfront town of Capon Bridge and only 35 minutes to Winchester. Buffalo Gap provides a retreat with forest, mountains, creeks, streams, waterfalls, ponds and nature in all its magnificence.
Buffalo Gap Retreat sits in the valley (gap) between two large mountains - Sandy Ridge and Slane's Knob. As a result of being in the gap, our property is teaming with spring fed creeks and streams which form both our upper pond and sandy bottom lake. Buffalo Gap has 10 campsites in our upper campground. Each lakeview site has a firepit (all have flat grounds) and most have picnic tables.
