Faraway Camp
Quick Facts
Why Luray & Shenandoah National Park
Luray is the gateway to Shenandoah National Park via the Thornton Gap entrance, home to Luray Caverns — the largest and most visited cave system on the East Coast, spanning 64 acres. The town sits along Skyline Drive, the park’s 105-mile scenic byway, with the nearby Luray Zoo offering an animal rescue center and petting zoo for younger visitors.
Faraway Camp gives guests a spotless, hotel-comfortable geodome experience just outside the park, with genuinely thoughtful pet touches like provided dog bowls setting it apart from typical glamping stays.
