Transportation
Campers are dropped off and picked up at camp, located in Prince William Forest National Park, using the park entrance on Park Entrance Road in Triangle, VA. This park entrance is off of I-95 at exit 150.
We look forward to providing additional drop off/pick up locations and transportation

At Camp Under the Stars, the safety of our campers, volunteers, and camp community will always be our first priority. Unfortunately, we have made the decision to cancel camp for summer 2020. We look forward to camping with you in the future, as soon as it is safe to do so. Until then, please join us virtually on Facebook and Instagram for camp fun beginning on May 3, 2020.
