From Washington, DC:
From the Washington DC Capital Beltway take I-66 West approx. 62 miles.
Take exit number 13 toward VA-55/ LINDEN / FRONT ROYAL.
Turn LEFT onto VA-79 APPLE MOUNTAIN RD at bottom of exit ramp.
Turn RIGHT onto VA-55/ JOHN MARSHALL HWY. Continue to follow VA-55 E. 5.23 miles
Turn LEFT onto US-340/ S ROYAL AVE. Continue to follow US-340 S. 9.57 miles
Turn RIGHT onto VA-629/ ACORN HILL RD. 0.99 miles (You will see a white church on your right, just before turning on Acorn Hill Road. Acorn hill is the second right after the church).
Turn RIGHT onto VA-628/ ROCKY HOLLOW RD. 0.2 miles (Gravel road begins. You will see a sign on the fence Massanutten Canoe Co.->)Travel to the bottom of the hill and look for another gravel road on the left.
This is where it gets tricky, the name of the road has changed a few times and who knows what the street sign says now. Make sure you take the 1st left at the bottom of the hill back onto Rt. 629 (look for the white RT 629 post sign), the new street sign should be Hazard Ford Road. Follow Hazard Ford Rd. all the way to the end. (This will take you down a steep hill to the river. If you're traveling at night, drive slow. You won't see the river until you're right on it. If you drive too fast, you'll end up in the river!
Turn left when you reach the river. Continue driving on the gravel road alongside the Shenandoah River. You will pass a lonely street sign on your left, Crystal River Road. The road will end at the entrance to the farm.
After you are through the main gate, there's a sign for Massanutten Canoe Co., and a sign that says Camping By Reservation Only. Your in the right place. Follow the road into the deep woods - DRIVE SLOW PLEASE.
When you exit the deep woods, you will come to a large field on your right. Keep on going. You might see some cows. No tipping please. The main road will turn to the right, stay with it. Look for a sign that say's CAMPING you will pass through another gate with a cattle guard. You're almost there. Look for campsites #9, #10, and #11. Check in for FABFest is at Campsite #10. All of the campsites are clearly labled.
