WHERE BEER & NATURE come together

Devils Backbone Camp offers an unparalleled camping experience in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, combining a causal camp experience with world-class craft beverages and food.  With a range of sites, from full-hook-up RV to rustic wooded tent sites, we offer a range of camping options for every type of adventurer.  Nestled in a 5-acre bier garden featuring yard games, numerous seating options, and seasonal live music, our Basecamp Brewpub is open daily with 16+ taps, a full bar, and a seasonal menu featuring smoked meats and something for your whole family to enjoy. In addition to our Basecamp Indoor Brewpub, we have our craft Distillery Lounge, Shanty Cigar Lounge, Summit merchandise shop & Meadows Outdoor Bar & Outdoor grill on property to enjoy as well.

 

 

Centrally located in the Rockfish Valley, Devils Backbone Camp is within a short drive of some of Virginia’s best hiking, golf, and skiing.  Only 5 miles to the Skyline Drive and the Reid's Gap trailhead on the Appalachian Trail, whether exploring by foot or on two wheels, you won’t find any shortage of paths or stunning views.  Positioned on the "Nelson 151" route, Devils Backbone Camp is the prime home base to explore our neighboring breweries, cideries, wineries, and distilleries.  With over 20 craft beverage producers within a 20-minute drive, you will find something to suit everyone's tastes. The village of Nellysford offers local dining, shopping a farmers’ market, and a day trip to Charlottesville or Staunton provides extensive shopping, dining, and cultural opportunities. Devils Backbone Camp is the perfect place to come and Drink Outdoors Together.
