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.

There is a beautiful cabin for guests to use. Sleeps 5 easily. We also have an outdoor kitchen and bar and a propane grill. Check out @sharpsislandrva on Insta to see pics!
NOTE: The parking situation has changed due to construction! The parking information in the pictures is not correct (but Hipcamp won't let me delete them). Contact Andy at 804-212-6639 for parking instructions. There is no bridge to Sharp's Island, but we can rent you a canoe or kayak. It's super easy.
Sharp's Island is so named because the Sharp family of Richmond owned it as far back as the 1850s. The old brick foundation you see in the pictures is all that remains of a house that was built on the island in 1895 and stood for 75 years! We consider ourselves stewards of an amazing historic, ecological, geologic, and recreational asset, and we would love to have you add your story to this island's long history!
Learn more about this land:
One-of-a-kind really only begins to describe 1-acre Sharp's Island! For starters, this is the only legal camping option in the city of Richmond. You read that correctly. This is your own private island, and it's right in the heart of downtown RVA! The Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain right here at Sharp's Island. That makes for amazing fishing, especially during the spring shad and striper runs.
Some other incredible things about camping at Sharp's Island: You can motor up to it from Ancarrow's Landing, canoe over from the trail just below Mayo Bridge, or make this the destination for your downriver raft/kayak trip; at summer river levels there are oodles of great swimming holes along the banks; fire pit ready and waiting for you. And lots more!

Welcome to our charming earthbound retreat nestled in the foothills of Virginia’s mountains!
Before booking, please carefully review the full house description and rules. By confirming your reservation, you acknowledge and accept the property and its features as they are. Please note, our solar panels may sometimes be unreliable, especially with high energy usage. The backup generator is there for that reason, and we do not offer discounts if it is needed during your stay.
🌿 Nature immersion Located in a peaceful rural setting, our house offers a truly immersive experience in nature. Enjoy the rustic charm of the handcrafted round door, but be mindful that bugs may enter more easily due to the design.
🌞 Off‑grid living We want your stay to be enjoyable and memorable, so please come prepared for a natural, off‑grid experience. Refunds will not be provided if the generator needs to be used.
🏡 Unique design Step into an enchanting world of imagination with a stay in our cozy house, featured on Building Off the Grid (Season 13, Episode 3: Virginia Underground Home). The tiny house includes a Murphy desk hideaway bed (queen size), a dining nook, and a charming bathroom with a large copper soaking tub. Our dining area is a cozy, minimalist space designed for simple meals. We do not have a mini‑refrigerator at this time, so please bring a cooler if needed. While we do provide a stovetop, please note that it may occasionally cause slight fluctuations in the electricity. We recommend treating this as a camping‑style experience by bringing non‑perishable items or exploring the delicious takeout options available in nearby Scottsville. Every corner is filled with whimsical touches.
🌎 Eco‑friendly escape Completely off the grid, our eco‑friendly home runs on solar power and a well septic system. We encourage guests to disconnect from the outside world—there’s no TV or Wi‑Fi—so you can fully embrace the natural surroundings. The property spans nearly 24 acres, with some hiking trails started and future plans for gardens and archery targets.
⛺ Extra options If you are interested in a stay at the underground home but have a larger family or group of friends, we are permitted to allow tent camping, including dry campers, on the property as well.

The Premier Overnight Float Trip Campsite on the Middle James River - Boat in Only---No onsite parking or hiking in.
Learn more about this land:
Please note this is a boat in only listing--so launch your canoe or kayak upstream to float in and enjoy a stay! You MUST take the south channel (some call it "River Right") as you approach the Seven Islands chain to access Campsite 1. You MUST take the North Channel or "River Left" to access Campsite 2. See satellite imagery. Read on--
Approximately 8 miles downriver from Scottsville and 2.5 miles downriver from the Hardware River Wildlife Management Area, this is the Premier campsite for an overnight float trip on the middle James. With some of the best smallmouth bass fishing the James River has to offer, this is perfect stopover for a take out at the New Canton/Bremo Bluff boat landing 4 miles downstream. Enjoy an overnight or a couple of days. The 2 acre campsites are on an elevated sand and gravel bar on the north and south shores of Big Island. There's ample room for multiple tents and boats. Pools and slow moving water to cool off after your float down, and a great place for catfishing and watching satellite fly-bys at night. Plenty of Bald Eagles, Ospreys, and just about all of Virginia's animals inhabit this section of the James. Enjoy the scenery!
KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK and GO
1. Check out river levels, forecasts and warnings. There can be class 1 and 2 rapids (and more) depending on river height. Very experienced paddlers only once the river gets above approximately 5.0 feet or so at Scottsville. The host will gladly rebook your stay should the river height not be safe for your group. Check James River height at Scottsville or other reputable data source.
2. You must take the south channel (some call it "River Right") as you approach the Seven Islands chain to access Campsite 1. You must take the North Channel or "River Left" to access Campsite 2. See satellite imagery.
3. Both campsites are only accessible by canoe, kayak or other small craft from the west/upriver.
4. Cell phone coverage is very spotty in this section of the river bottom.

One of a Kind experience. See what I did there. Seriously, wonderful host and farmers. The property has all kinds of spirituality that take the form of areas with hammocks, yurts, fairy outposts, curated trails, event areas, added refrigeration and other amenities for what "campers forget". I learned a lot from Amy about a lot of things. She is a fantastic artisan grower as well. Prepare to enter a sanctuary and to leave feeling balanced and full of goodness.

Weekend Trip to Shireton
The Shireton was an amazing stay! I celebrated my 14th anniversary with my girlfriend and we had such a great time. The coziness of the land really made it feel like we were in The Shire. It was private, romantic, and incredibly fun! Thanks so much again 🙏👍

Our group of 5 adults with dogs spent a late spring weekend at Peaceful Meadows Campground. The campsites are large and our sites were near the pond so we were able to enjoy the quiet and natural area. The firepit was available for use after 4pm. There was wifi and cell service, and the porter potty was clean and well maintained. Adults and dogs had a great time!

Weekend Trip to Smith Farm
It was such an amazing space. We stayed in the trailer and could hear the animals and see a million stars. As someone who's dreamed of her own eventual farm, meeting the donkeys was the best!!
Great to have a cozy and clean place to stay. The only drawback was the actual bedroom. The main had a small bed and no dresser or anything to put stuff on and one small nightstand. Nothing that would stop me from coming back though!

When we drove through a neighborhood to get there, I was a little worried what we were driving into. But the site is nice and secluded and right next to the creek. It was peaceful and beautiful and we'd definitely stay again. The composting toilet was nice and the bathroom was clean. Other than a little bit of city noise, you'd never know you weren't in the middle of the forest. The local bar around the corner does have karaoke on Friday nights, so the noise kept us awake. But sounded like a lot of fun, if we come back we'd definitely join in!
