Provides access to trailheads and has a corral available. This site is also near the historic Civil War battlefield at McDowell, VA.
From Staunton, VA: Follow U.S. 250 west to Churchville. Continue west on U.S. 250 for 20 miles past Churchville and turn left onto State Route (S.R.) 616. Shaws Fork Equestrian Campground is located 1.0 miles on the left.
Nothing fancy, just a field and a toilet. The camping field is surrounded by white pines that are 50 foot tall. Makes for a scary night during wind and rain storms. Would be a bad deal if a limb or a whole tree came down on a tent or camper. They need to be removed along with the underbrush which usually overhangs the road. The picnic tables are in bad shape and fire grates are missing or worn out. The place needs some TLC. It's definitely gone down hill thanks to our Federal Government's lack of preservation. Sad because it's a nice place to camp.
