The magic of the Great Stokesville Campout has wrapped up, and we’re still riding high from a weekend filled with unforgettable moments. If you missed it, don’t worry—we’ve got the scoop straight from the campers themselves! Here’s a look back at what made this event so special and what people are saying about their time with us in Stokesville.
“Great trails. Best vibes.”
For many campers, the trails were a highlight. With everything from family-friendly rides to more challenging routes, the Stokesville area delivered big on the adventure front. Riders raved about the smooth, flowy singletrack on Narrowback to the breathtaking scenery higher up Shenandoah Mountain.
Campfires, Connections, and Comfort
When the sun went down, the real fun started around the campfire. There’s something special about sharing stories (and s’mores!) with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Many campers commented on the warm, family-style atmosphere that made even first-timers feel part of our big outdoor family.
“I wasn’t sure what to expect as a first-timer, but everyone was so welcoming. Sitting around the campfire, hearing about other people’s rides and adventures, it felt like being part of something bigger.” – Jess, First-Time Camper.
Family Fun in Full Swing
The Campout wasn’t just for hardcore bikers. Families brought their kids along to enjoy the relaxed setting, kid-friendly trails, and fun activities throughout the weekend. From the impromptu games to spotting wildlife along the trail, there was no shortage of family memories being made.
“It’s great to have an event that’s so family-friendly. My kids loved it! They got to ride, play, and just run wild around the campground. We’re definitely making this a yearly tradition.” – Marcus, Parent Camper.
Burritos, Coffee, and the Simple Joys
Food always tastes better outdoors, right? Whether it was the burritos that kept us fueled after a long ride or the morning coffee sipped as the sun rose over the mountains, everyone agreed—life’s simple pleasures were in full effect at Stokesville.
Looking Ahead to Next Year
As the weekend wrapped up, there was one common theme—everyone was already looking forward to next year. The Great Stokesville Campout has become more than just a weekend in the woods. It’s about community, adventure, and creating memories that will last long after the bikes are packed away.
