Tucked away on the eastern slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Shenandoah National Park, amid majestic hemlocks and rolling streams lies a rustic fishing camp fit for a President. “Camp Rapidan,” now known as “Camp Hoover,” served as a summer retreat for President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, 1929-1933. The camp will be open to the public during the Park’s annual “Hoover Days” celebration, Aug. 8 and 9.
The annual celebration, scheduled the weekend closest to Hoover’s Aug. 10 birthday, features tours of the secluded camp. Shuttle buses leave the Byrd Visitor Center parking lot (Milepost 51) at 20-minute intervals starting at 9 a.m. to transport visitors down the winding, scenic Rapidan Road. Once in camp, visitors may tour two of the remaining three structures. The President’s and the Prime Minister’s Cabins provide a glimpse into the lives of the Hoovers, lovers of the outdoors, who relished the camp for its “powers of relaxation and rejuvenation.”
