Camp Kilo

1 site · Tent15 acres · Stanardsville, VA
Discover peaceful seclusion on this 16-acre primitive campsite, perched atop a hill with stunning eastern views. Greet each morning with a breathtaking sunrise and soak in the quiet beauty of nature all around you. Located just yards from the Shenandoah National Park border, this spot offers a true backcountry feel with the convenience of being only 30 minutes by car from the park’s main entrance. It’s perfect for hikers and nature lovers looking to unplug—though cell service is available if needed. Access requires a half-mile uphill hike, adding a sense of adventure and keeping the area serene and private. There is no vehicle access to the campsite, and campers must bring in their own food and water. This is a pack-in, pack-out site with no amenities—ideal for those seeking a raw, off-grid experience. Pets are welcome, but must be kept under control and respectful of wildlife. Campfires are allowed in accordance with local fire regulations—please check current guidelines before lighting a fire. The site comfortably fits 2–3 small tents (2–3 person tents recommended). Unplug, unwind, and reconnect under the stars just steps from one of Virginia’s most iconic parks

Private Farm Minutes to Cville

7 sites · RVs, Tents55 acres · Charlottesville, VA
This was a 55-acre farm, split in half to accommodate a bypass through Charlottesville, so the previous owners had to give up half the land, and actually moved the house down to the other half of the property! They had to build a land bridge to get to the new home site, so they turned the bridge into a dam and created a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo. My wife Stephanie and I bought the property in early 2017 and have turned it into a private horse farm, adding pastures, a riding ring, and 6-stall barn. There are ~21 horses who live on the property. The property is unique in that you can hardly see another house from anywhere on the property and yet we are only 2 miles from Barracks Rd. Shopping Center, and 4 miles from the University of Virginia.

It was run by a recluse, who was always on the move from the Revenuers. A revenuer went missing along Cedar Creek one moonlit night, never to be seen again. The bearded recluse who ran the still, owned two mules, and an old car frame without a motor. Those mules would pull him through the hollow, and up into the mountains, where the revenuers never found him. Some say on a cold, moonlit night, they’ve seen his two old mules, pulling an old car frame past Camp Cedar Creek.

Seven Islands River Front Camping

3 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Arvonia, VA
9337 Bridgeport Rd, Arvonia Va.NOTE:We have changed things a bit. We are going with only 2 sites this year. Site 1 is no longer available. 9337 Bridgeport Rd. Arvonia, Va. Turn at the aluminum canoe placed on top of a large orange road barrier at the edge of our drive way. The canoe is bolding displaying the word HIPCAMP with a red arrow leading the way. Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. Bateau boats pass by all 3 campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are maned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting Go by a local store and buy night crawlers,worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something . Firewood available per request and delivered for$30.00 a load. Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Pitch your tent on the beach or under the trees if you prefer some shade. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night. Safety Notice: Not accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak when the James River level is 6 feet or higher at Scottsville. At 7.5 - 8 feet, there is not much beach to play on and the river is too dangerous to navigate. You can drive in and camp, but please stay clear of all water activities, including fishing, in these dangerous conditions.

Riverside Camping with Donkeys

6 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Ruckersville, VA
Enjoy peaceful seclusion with beautiful views, and endless outdoor fun: splash in the river, meet friendly goats and donkeys, rope swing into the river, explore with our paddle boat, adventure on the paddle boards, relax in a hammock, go fishing, or take a hike along the river. I purchased this home with the intent to turn it into a massive play ground for kiddos and kiddos at heart. We welcome anyone that embraces the spirit of play, levity, kindness and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Children 12 and under stay free and are not counted toward your guest total. Optional Rentals for a Small Fee: - Wood bundles for your fire pit ($10 per bundle) - Kids’ kayaks ($5/day) - Paddleboards ($10/day) We have three campsites on the property. Everyone has access to the river. If you are camping beside the river, please understand that it is a space accessible to all though there is plenty of space between campsites to have privacy. If you would like to reserve the entire space for yourself, please let us know ahead of time and we'll block the rest of campsites from being reserved, provided that they are not already reserved, for $100 extra per night. Parking: If I’m available, I’m happy to help haul your things to the river on the UTV. Park at the house and enjoy a 5-7-minute walk to the river. Friendly donkeys, a couple of goats, and our Aussie shepherd will likely say hello. While donkeys love people, they can be protective around unfamiliar dogs. We ask that all pups be leashed, but we leave it up to you if you think your doggo is good off-leash. If your dog is aggressive, this may not be the right fit. Please ensure the two gates you will go through are closed so the donkeys do not get out. Potty: We have an outhouse. We kindly ask that you use it only for #2s and that you place TP in a trash bag. This helps the decomposition process, keeps the smell down... future campers will thank you. Things to Do Nearby: ⁃ Shenandoah National Park - nearest entrance 25 minutes away ⁃ Rivanna River - right on the property ⁃ Blue Ridge Parkway ⁃ Wineries & Breweries - nearest winery only 1/2 mile from the house. Donkeys can be your DD (JK) ⁃ Downtown Charlottesville (also 25 minutes away)
