Basecamp Front Royal is now open for AT hikers. Basecamp is a free facility for Appalachian Trail (AT) thru-hikers and adventurers that need a day to refuel. The facility includes a washer and dryer, shower, lockers, bathroom, boot dryer, and some extra donated goods.

Our publisher, Mike McCool spoke with Jeff Carroll from Vibrissa Beer about BaseCamp Front Royal and gave us a tour of the facility.

Thanks to artist, Erik Raines for the art update at the basecamp – gives it a fresh, new look this year.

Basecamp is maintained by Vibrissa Beer and friends Vinova Mediterranean Bistro, Mountain Trails, Down Home Comfort Bakery and Vibe Properties, LLC.

Rest, re-gear, grab a bite & get a beer!
