🌿 Welcome to Lev @ Little Lake 🌿 A Private Land-Based Sanctuary Rooted in Faith and Stewardship We invite you to experience Lev @ Little Lake, a peaceful haven nestled in the hills of Clarksville, Virginia. This land is not a commercial campground—it is our private inheritance, stewarded in faith and dedicated to the Lord as part of our family’s life work and spiritual calling. When you stay here, you are not paying for access to a public business. Your contribution is a gift of support that helps sustain our ongoing private mission: developing a place of worship, restoration, and community gathering, built upon biblical stewardship and constitutional liberty. We maintain this land as a Private Membership Association and trust—not for profit, but for purpose. Your visit supports:     •    The cultivation of food and beauty through regenerative practices     •    The quiet development of festival grounds for appointed times of worship     •    Our family’s dedicated labor in ministry, music, photography, education, and hospitality     •    The protection of sacred land and private religious use from overreach or commercial misclassification We ask that all guests arrive in a spirit of respect and peace. This land is not a venue, event space, or public attraction—it is our home, our sanctuary, and a resting place for those who value simplicity, nature, and the presence of God. Come walk the trails. Sit by the water. Watch the sunset. Let your soul breathe. And know that your presence here is more than a stay—it’s a blessing. “You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be blessed, and it shall be well with you.” — Psalm 128:2

We bought the property in search of gold. After exploring the land after we bought it, we discovered a 200ft ship from 1906 buried 4ft under the ground. We are inviting people to come enjoy this experience with us as we excavate the ship, to learn history, and to learn unique outdoor activities. There are so many treasures still left to be found.

Crystals property was absolutely amazing. There are plenty of different areas to choose from to set up camp but we opted to stay in the woods closet to the water. It was the perfect place to do some fishing and enjoy the water. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, beautiful place to camp.

We loved camping here. We brought our fishing poles, and it’s a nice spot to catch little channels. We also enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings.

I think I may have found the most beautiful, private campsite on water, yet. This is accessible by 2WD. You can camp anywhere from the open grassy field all the way down to the reservoir. They have kayaks and a canoe and many other amenities on property for you to use. I went fishing on a nice day and I didn’t see anyone else anywhere that day. It was incredibly peaceful and I think I had the best sleep I’ve ever had when I’ve been camping. I actually was able to put my tent on the floating dock. I definitely recommend this for anyone who’s looking for a solo trip or to bring your family.

My sister I had an awesome time camping here with my two dogs! It’s so peaceful and secluded, and it was awesome being able to pitch our tent right by the water! I loved fishing off the dock, and the kayaks were such an amazing addition! We had a great time paddling around the lake with the dogs! 10/10 would recommend, and we will definitely be back!!

What a great place to stay. I needed a camp site to break up a long drive, and Kevin’s site was conveniently located but also remote enough to feel ‘disconnected’. The private wooded site is a perfect place to forest bath. Kevin was super helpful and accommodating. Knowing I would be arriving late at night, he provided detailed direction with pictures to assure I arrived with ease. Looking forward to another visit soon!
