Elizabeth Furnace Group Camp

What sets Elizabeth Furnace Group Campground apart is its intimacy with local history and serene natural surroundings, offering exclusive group tent camping amidst the enchanting George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. Designed for gatherings of up to 75 people, the campground exudes a rugged charm, with no trailers allowed, emphasizing a genuinely immersive outdoor experience.

Set alongside the scenic Passage Creek in the Shenandoah Valley, the campground boasts direct access to recreational treasures like the Pig Iron and Charcoal Trail and the nearby Buzzard Rock hike, allowing visitors to combine exploration of the area’s ironworking history with invigorating outdoor activities. The grounds feature fire rings, picnic tables, and vault toilets, though group campers should note the absence of water on-site. Trout fishing in the seasonally stocked creek and views from the swinging bridge add to its idyllic allure.

Located near Fort Valley, Virginia, and within a short drive of Strasburg, this campground serves as a perfect base for nature enthusiasts. It’s ideal for group retreats, scout outings, or family reunions seeking a peaceful yet activity-rich venue to reconnect with nature and each other.
