Gorgeous location with a private sand beach and awesome fire pit! We absolutely loved this spot! Access was easy and the picnic table was so nice to have. Super private with sounds of the river... what else could you need? Can't wait to come back in warm weather!

Graham's land was beautiful! The site was well maintained, flat and an even space for our truck camping. There was a nice picnic table at each site with a fire box and grate to cook on, all stocked with firewood and even kindling to get started. The river wraps around the sites with giant rocks and a steap forest incline opposite of the site. The hosts were incredibly kind and went far out of their way to help us out. The river was very refreshing (it froze last night) but we still enjoyed the semi polar plunge. It'll be a perfect summer spot with a sandy beach and great rocks to jump off into the water.

One of the best spots I've been to. Easily accessible with any vehicle and the site offered a great view (and sounds) of the river and large field on the other side of the river where I saw buck and deer running across several times. The host, Graham, and his son made an initial visit to make sure I had everything that was needed: very friendly and welcoming! There are a few other spots on the land that others were camping on but they were not visible from my spot. This did mean an occasional drive by from other campers, but I didn't mind that at all. Loved the custom made fire box and the option to leave cash for firewood provisions. The picnic table was a nice touch as well. I will definitely keep this one top of the list for future camping!

Perfect camping spot for a weekend getaway. Couldn’t beat the wood bundle for $5.00 more than enough to get you through the night and was already waiting for us at campsite. Graham awesome and came to see if we needed anything during our stay.
Highly recommended, we will definitely be back.

Site 2 was perfect. Peaceful and secluded. Having 6 cane corsos who just loved the open field and playing in the water along the river. Will definitely return to Paradise on the rivers bend.

Kelly and her family were very kind. I am a traveling vendor and one market ended up having me back on their property around midnight. They were so helpful in making sure I would know where to go and not disturb anyone. Great communication from the beginning and they were very helpful with anything that I needed! Will be going there again!

Beautiful spot, will be back! Right amount of space for me and my pup. Cute little beach access and gorgeous foliage in the fall. Stunning sunset/rise and great wildlife - cranes, hawks, and bald eagles!

Great spot for camping and fishing. We had three tents and a tarp and had a ton of room. Caught a couple of perch and bullhead. Easy instructions to get to the place which felt nice and remote. Great sunset views as well. Watch your step around the banks as high water at some point did some serious erosion. The owner has a set up steps to get down to the beach, which were very helpful. Also if you’re planning on having a fire you may want to bring some wood ahead of time. There is a bunch of ash and some oak around the property that the owner was gracious enough offer up to us, but much of it was older and rotted. Some other reviews mentioned the drag strip nearby which you can hear (along with the occasional shotgun blast from hunters), but neither of those things really bothered us. Country store nearby with coffee, beer, liquor ice and gas. About 90 minutes from DC (no traffic). Closer to 2.5 hours if you leave DC at 3pm during the week. Overall a great spot if you’re looking for a quick weekend getaway from the city.

Tent camping was great at this private paradise. Graham had a tarp already setup for the tent and plenty of firewood for the weekend. Located right on the river with a nice beach area for the dog to play in the water. Also a great fire pit with easy cooking capabilities.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful, Peaceful Escape by the River
I had such a great weekend camping at Hazel River - Harmony Tree Farm! The site was peaceful, surrounded by tall trees and the soothing sound of the river nearby. It felt private and relaxing — the perfect place to unplug and enjoy nature.

Took my dog for his first camping trip and he loved it! Easy access to the stream and relatively private between the sites. Would definitely stay here again

It was beautiful! So quiet..the sound of the river while you slept was so relaxing. The bugs were actually not that bad either. There is a little trail you can walk down to the river or you can walk down to the beach (if no one is at site #1-we got lucky and had the place to ourselves). It ended up raining a little bit on Sunday so we ended up driving to Luray Caverns (about 1 hour drive) and stopped at Bald Top brewery (Caramel Apple Sour was awesome).
Thanks for having us Graham!
