Our mission is simple: bring people together through the outdoors.
We want parents to introduce their children to experiences that don't require a screen. We want people working stressful jobs to remember that life exists beyond meetings, emails, deadlines, commutes, and traffic. And we want to encourage the next person who is just beginning their journey because everyone starts somewhere. Big Dipper Ranch is a place where those connections can begin.
For Bundokin, this partnership isn't simply about recommending somewhere to stay. It's about building a network of places, people, experiences, and resources that make getting outdoors easier and more accessible.You don't have to begin with a remote campsite miles from civilization. Sometimes the first step is simply finding a comfortable, safe, welcoming place like the Big Dipper Ranch where you can just slow down, sit around a fire, look up at the stars.
Bundokin is becoming something larger than my own journey. The partnership between Bundokin and the Big Dipper Ranch represents another step toward creating a community where people can experience the outdoors at their own pace and on their own terms. You don't need the most expensive gear. You don't need years of outdoor experience. You don't need to climb the highest mountain, hike the longest trail, or camp miles from civilization. You just need to be willing to take the first step.
Start comfortable. Build confidence. Explore farther. Reconnect with what matters.

One of the most amazing things about the campground has always been the night sky. Far from the lights of the city, the stars here can be spectacular. The Big Dipper seems to make a regular appearance overhead, and eventually it became the perfect name for the property—Big Dipper Ranch, or BDR.
If you're ready for adventure, Old Rag and Whiteoak Canyon are only about 15 minutes away, along with wonderful wineries, breweries, orchards, and some of the most beautiful hiking in Virginia.
Whether you come here to hike and explore or simply to slow down and recharge, our hope is that you'll experience the same sense of peace and connection to this place.
Our glamping tents are built on raised decks using the highest quality tents and furniture to make your stay enjoyable.
Our glamping tents are spread out through the campground out to give everyone plenty of privacy & peace..
The Big Dipper Ranch is located on 23 acres of private property to offer a safe and enjoyable glamping experience.
