Unplug and enjoy our piece of farm heaven. Can't beat the views of horses grazing and chickens free ranging! We now have baby goats and ducks as well! Cotton, tobacco, soybeans and peanuts grow in the fields surrounding our property. Take a nice walk through the woods around a pond to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Add on a fresh dozen eggs (chicken or duck), a bottle of our all natural insect repellant or an owner lead horseback riding adventure. If you're lucky you may even get to feed one of our new baby goats.
Nice and quiet and an amazing view of the sunset and the stars after dark!

🌿 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

Great location only 15 min off I-95. Far enough away from the city and roads to see the stars at night, close enough for easy access to all modern conveniences. Accessible by a paved road. A path is cut right through the property for ease to find your ideal camping location.
You can park your vehicle off the paved road or on the property itself. There is a creek a few hundred yards into the property that's not crossable by vehicle. A vehicle can pull onto the property via the cutout road but I wouldn’t pull an RV/vehicle with a trailer onto it.

3 nights at Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
The site was breath taking, the amenities provided were everything and more! Everything was carefully thought out! It truly is a place to relax, unwind and enjoy homesteading life! My hubby and I celebrated our 25th anniversary there, and I would not have traded it for a different trip! It was what I needed in a time of mourning the loss of my father in February! Life is always noisy but this place has a way of quieting everything around you and really allowing us to it all in!

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest
We loved our stay so much! What a gem of a place. A few families brought our little city girls here for the weekend. I'm pretty sure they made memories to last a life time. The golf carts really elevated the experience of glamping and the littles absolutely loved them! They fed the cows, played pickleball/basketball and played for hours despite the heat.
Jim and Becky really dialed the whole experience in with all the little details. The pizza oven, the coffee/tea that are readily accessible any time of the day. The giant mist fan in the Gathering place came in clutch in 90 degree temps.
Each unit was a little dream escape from the hustle and bustle of life. The beds were incredibly comfortable. It was a hot weekend but we slept wonderfully with the help of the fans in each cabin.
The bathhouse is brand new and very clean but has a rustic vibe.
The Gathering Place was where our crew spent the most time. We prepared meals there, created art there, watched the Hurricanes play on our laptop and chatted for hours.
10/10 would recommend. Can't wait to come back. A very special place.
Thank you for the hospitality Jim and Becky!

Wow. What a beautiful place. Jim and Becky were welcoming and gracious hosts. Becky met us upon arrival and gave us an overview of the extensive amenities. The "lodge" was lovely and a perfect sleeping temperature for us in late May without using any of the fans, etc. We enjoyed playing pickle ball for the first time on the camp's court and hanging out at the "gathering" afterwards. It would be a perfect place for families with children. Our only regret is that we only stayed one night during a long road trip - we would've loved to stay the full weekend. Thanks, Becky and Jim for sharing this place with us!

This was a wonderful stop for us. Both the host were incredibly nice. The location was beautiful!!!
We saw lots of fireflies and the view of the stars was amazing.
The location is one to keep an eye out on as they plan on adding more to it.
The only downside was there were ticks, just make sure you check for them and you are good.
If given the opportunity again we 100% would come back.
