Muster in the Mountains 2026 Devils Backbone, Roseland, VA

Event Start Date: 6/12/2026

Event End Date: 6/14/2026

Muster in the Mountains returns to Devils Backbone Basecamp in Roseland, Virginia on June 12-14, 2026. Hosted by Backcountry Hunters & Anglers Mid-Atlantic Chapter, Muster is a weekend built around the simple idea that public lands and waters stay public only when people show up for them. It is part campout, part outdoor festival, and part conservation classroom. If you care about wild places, access for the next generation, and the traditions of hunting and fishing in a natural setting, you will fit right in.

Expect a vendor village featuring premium outdoor brands, practical demonstrations, and a presentation tent with conservation voices and local expertise. Bring your family, bring a friend, and plan to spend time in the meadows and mountains with people who measure success by stewardship, ethical pursuit, and a willingness to do the work. On Friday afternoon, gates open at noon for registration, merch, raffle ticket sales, vendors, and live music. Friday night features a separate ticketed Chesapeake Bay Foundation oyster happy hour, followed by a wild game dinner prepared by the Devils Backbone kitchen staff. Dinner tickets are limited to 80 seats.

Saturday is the heart of the weekend. Vendors are open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with demonstrations running throughout the day and a presentation schedule that connects our outdoor traditions to the conservation policies and habitat work that sustain them. Saturday night closes with a bonfire and a community wild game potluck, campfire stories, and the kind of camaraderie that reminds you why this community matters. Whether you camp on site or drive in for the day, you will leave with new skills, new connections, and a clearer sense of how to protect the places that make our hunting and fishing possible.

BHA chapter leaders, we will be hosting a chapter leaders training prior to the festivities. Stay tuned for more details, If you have a topic you want to learn more about or lead a discussion on reach out to Brian Bird bird@backcountryhunters.org
