Learn more about this land: Nestle on the Pamunkey Indian Reservation also known for Spiritual Healing that overlooks the Pamunkey River. The Pamunkey people have been here for over 10,000 years making this area one of the oldest reservations in the country. We have a small platform sitting right on the water for privacy and beautiful views of the river. You may see Bald Eagles, Grey Herons, Ducks, Geese, River Otters, and so much more. During low tide, the water is pulled back into the main part of the river and this is where you will see the wildlife during this time. There are up to 8 Bald Eagles here at a time and during the Spring to Fall, you will see Osprey hunting for food right in front of you and usually getting chased by the Eagles. What an awesome site to be able to camp and be a part of so many creatures all in their natural habitat. We live right up the hill.  Depending on where your tent is located, you may or may not see our home.  Usually you cannot but want you to be aware.  When you are camping, we respect your space and privacy to the fullest. During the full moon, the water on the campsite will rise and you will need to camp closer to the land.  Also, when the tied is out, you will not be able to launch the canoe or kayak. There is a short path to walk and it is a very short incline.   During Spring through the fall, the museum is opened for visitors at 5.00 each visitor.  We also have a gift shop where local artist showcase their items and also they are for sale.

Carolzy’s Secret Gardens

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Mechanicsville, VA
Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

Visionary Trailz

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents35 acres ¡ Saint Stephens Church, VA
Come and enjoy a piece of this 35 acres former Equestrian facility. Experience our growth as we reopen former trails through this lovely Indian Neck property. We have a level 2 EVSE (EV charger) with J1772 plug on site. We are minutes away from the Rappahannock tribal center and the chief's former residence is literally across the street. There is numerous wildlife including birds, deer, butterflies, groundhogs, skunks, and rabbits on the property. The town of Tappahannock in Essex County where there's a Walmart and dining options is a short 9 miles away. Also in Tappahannock is the Rappahannock River with boating, fishing, and great views of the river itself. Our home and some of the outbuildings was built in the late 1700's. When I think about the fact that we live in a house that was here during the war of 1812, it just blows my mind. The property itself was once part of a much larger plantation as was many of the properties in the area. The property was once a dairy farm and after that it was a equestrian operation. Throughout the woods there are overgrown trails that were once the horse riding trails. We are working to re-open those trails for walking and biking. In the future we would like to offer a dump site, electric and water hookups at a few of our sites, and porta-johns.

Wooded camping on 20 acres.

1 site ¡ RV, Tent16 acres ¡ Caret, VA
Learn more about this land:Primitive camping. Pitch your tent in our dense, mixed timber, woods, with a canopy of leaves overhead. Campsite has a fire ring and all the firewood you can gather from the woods. I’ll provide firewood for your first campfire. About 2’x2’x2’ bundle. There are a few trees that are large enough to support a hammock. Parking is at the main house about 150’ walk from campsite. You can park closer if you choose but it is a mild, downhill, slope and when the grass is wet it is reallllly slippery. I would only recommend parkIng close if you I have a 4x4. The campsite is behind some heavy undergrowth and trees so even though it is close to the main house you will have privacy. I have seen a lot of wildlife on the property e.g. bunnies, deer, box turtles, birds, and black snakes. I have not seen any venomous snakes. Please do not touch or otherwise disturb any wildlife. I haven’t seen any poison ivy, but there are green briar brambles here and there. There is a water faucet on the back of the main house that is filtered well water. Please don’t waste. Campsite is 45 minutes from Richmond and Fredericksburg with all their historical sites. 20 minutes from Tappahannock and Bowling Green for supplies or fuel. Campsite is not perfectly flat but there are flat areas where you can pitch a tent. I have sprayed the area with non-toxic, mint oil that is designed to repel ticks, and I have Tougher Than Tom mosquito traps hanging in the trees. But it’s Virginia so there are still some bugs around. Bring your bug repellent/bug spray. There is virtually zero cell service here. You have to drive 5 minutes down the road to get decent cell signal. We’ve tried Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T. We have a booster in our house and signal is still very tenuous. We are a friendly couple but we are somewhat shy and private. If we see you we will smile and wave, but we won’t engage much if we can avoid it. We like nature but we are more indoor people than outdoor, but it would please us if outdoorsy people want to enjoy our property. This site is gorgeous and peaceful. It’s always much cooler under the trees than out in the open. It feels really nice.

City Camp on Reedy Creek

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents2 acres ¡ Richmond, VA
Learn more about this land: Come take a load off at this forested Richmond retreat overlooking Reedy Creek. Set up a tent, car camp, or bring your small trailer to one of two sites on a unique property backed up to 20+ acres of woods. Imagine a hidden gem where you can relax to the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds, but can walk or bike to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, parks or the river. If you are coming into Richmond for a Brown's Island event we are a five minute Uber to an access point using the Potterfield walking bridge (it's a beautiful walk across the James River to the island). Each campsite includes 3 level spots to pitch tents (see dimensions below), and a connected space to park one car, van or small trailer. The large parking space can be used as a fourth tent footprint if needed. There are additional parking spaces. Each site has a fire pit (with firewood on site), a grate to grill over the fire, a picnic table, and a hammock. There is a shared outbuilding with a composting toilet, hand washing sink, outdoor shower (solar warmed), and space to change privately.  Campsite W ~  Tent footprints: 1) 10' x 12' 2) 10' x 13' 3) 9' x 10' Campsite E ~ Tent footprints: 1) 15'x16' 2) 10' x 15' 3) 9' x 10' **Pricing is based on groups of up to four adults or two adults with children. For groups of five to seven adults there is an additional charge of $10 person per day. For groups of eight or more we suggest you reserve both sites and have the entire camp to yourselves. Campsites W and E are about 80' apart. Both are around 100' to the creek. The spots can accommodate a total length (towing vehicle plus trailer) of up to 35 ft. There is an outdoor spigot with potable water and hoses for clean up. The woodlands and creek adjacent to the campsites have trails that are accessible to the public. You and your furry friends are welcome to use these paths, but know that others may be using them too. Richmond has so much to offer and we are just a hop, skip, and a jump to many wonderful attractions - kayak or sunbathe on the James River, walk or bike on trails around the city, rock climb, dine, imbibe. PLEASE NOTE* These sites are on a private property with a house that is visible to campers, but we give our guests complete privacy and don't plan to interact unless you need something from us. While you are on a 2 acre property backed up to a 20 acre wooded area, we are still in the middle of the city and you will hear city sounds. This is a safe space. We do not discriminate based on anything that makes you...you.
