    Sky Meadows State Park Campground, near Delaplane, VA, is a fantastic spot for those looking to dip their toes into backcountry camping without straying too far from civilization. This place is all about simplicity and nature. You’ll need to hike about a mile to reach the campsites, which are tucked away in the woods, offering a real sense of seclusion and peace.

    Each campsite comes equipped with a bear box, fire ring, picnic table, and a tent pad. The park has done a great job of making sure you have what you need without overloading you with amenities. There are vault toilets available, and while there's no running water, you can find a non-potable water pump near the restroom. Just remember to boil the water before drinking.

    Firewood is available for purchase on the honor system, so bring some cash. The campsites are well-spaced, giving you a bit of privacy even when the campground is full. The park rangers are friendly and keep the place clean and stocked.

    The trails here are a highlight. You’ll find yourself hiking through beautiful rolling hills and wooded areas. Some trails can get muddy, especially after rain, but the views and the experience are worth it. The park also has some historical areas and open fields where families often picnic and fly kites.

    Wildlife is abundant, so keep an eye out for deer, owls, and even the occasional bear track. If you're into birdwatching, you'll love the variety of birds you can spot during the day.

    Overall, Sky Meadows State Park Campground is a great spot for a beginner backpacking experience or just a peaceful night under the stars. Just make sure you're prepared for a bit of a hike and the rustic charm of backcountry camping.

      Singers Glen, Virginia

      I grow mushrooms and sell them at the Harrisonburg Farmers Market. The camping area is about an acre and is beside the house. Park under a canopy of red cedar trees which are bug resistant so very few mosquitoes. Two fireplaces, first come first serve. No neighbors yet close to Harrisonburg. Free firewood. No curfews. Tent camping and conversion vans only. No RV's.
