Penmerryl Farm Camp & Ride
Blue Ridge backroads, campfire nights, BYOB.
This Friday · 3 days · 2 nights camping · 4 meals at camp · scouted Blue Ridge routes · $160
The Ride
Three days of Blue Ridge backroads and forest service routes out of Penmerryl Farm in Greenville, VA. Roll in Friday, ride Saturday, ride Sunday morning, roll home. Affordable, simple, community-first — exactly how we like it.
Worth the trip
Riding in from PA, MD, or further north?
- Greenville, VA sits right at the edge of the George Washington National Forest — hundreds of miles of forest service roads and Blue Ridge gravel you can't get up north.
- Roll in Friday evening, ride two full days, roll home Sunday. Most riders make the trip in a single comfortable day.
- All-in cost (lodging, food, scouted routes) lands well under a typical hotel-and-restaurant weekend.
