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!

Weekend Trip to Sharp's Island
This is our second time camping on Sharps Island and we intend to make it at least an annual destination. There’s really no other experience like camping on a private island in the middle of the James River across from the Richmond skyline. In addition to its unique location , Sharps Island has a number of structures and amenities that make for a very pleasant camping experience - from the open shelter, to the tiki bar, to the rooftop deck, to the “poop“ deck, to the propane grill, there are many enhancements that have been added over time to create a one of a kind experience. We give this an A+ five star 100% recommendation with one caveat – don’t take our weekend!

I cannot wait to come back to Sharp's Island! My entire family came out for 5 days and we all feel that the island is a home away from home now. It's a peaceful natural oasis that still has civilization nearby. We spent most of our time in the water, and exploring up and down the James River. The memories made on this trip will last a lifetime and we'll be back to make more. Thank you Andy!

Moon and Julie were wonderful hosts.
I had booked the weekend of the 4th of july and unfortunately the week before a heat wave was announced to roll in. My group decided to not cancel the trip and give it a shot, but 1 night outside with a heat index of 110 was too much, and we called the trip short.
The hosts were very understanding and even refunded the second day, which according to the terms of our booking they absolutely were not required to do. I knew the risk when I accepted the booking.
The campground itself is very beautiful and I plan on returning during better weather early this fall.
I highly recommend this place.
Also, as a bonus I learned that Moon is an avid reader so we had plenty to talk about, as I am a literature nerd myself.

Our Easter weekend stay was the perfect setting for my kids' first camping trip. The owners are wonderful, hardworking people who made us feel very welcome. We spent most of our time at the pond catching over a dozen bass and bluegill, and the kids lived in the hammock! The cabin is awesome and provides a true off-grid experience; since there’s no power, I'd recommend bringing a generator if you need electricity. We’ll definitely be back!

Our stay was amazing! We were only there for two nights but we left feeling so rested we joked we stayed for a week. Our children LOVED the fields, pond, fishing and canoeing, and the trails. And our city dog was a whole new version of herself! Moon and Julie are the most gracious hosts and their space is full of life and rest! Our time there was a gift. We can’t wait to go back!

1 night at Twin Springs Tiny House
This tiny cabin was the perfect private getaway in the woods. The wood stove inside was perfect and so easy to use. No smoke poured into the cabin, and it got hot enough to heat up my percolator and make coffee. Clinton was very helpful and responsive through my entire trip. The cabin is so secluded, and it was the best escape from life. There is not a built in grate at the fire to cook, but there is a propane stove, and I found an old grill grate that worked well over some wood. There is also a creek that runs through the property that was nice to walk around and hang out by. Amazing getaway and can’t wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Twin Springs Tiny House
My partner & I loved our winter weekend here! Host was super accommodating. We’re super grateful for his help in getting our stuff to the cabin since our Civic wouldn’t have gotten that far into the property in the current snowy/ rainy conditions. The cabin itself is tucked away into a wooded area on his property, it’s like you enter another world once you pass over the little bridge. There’s a fire pit, generator, & outhouse. The cabin is very small but perfect for a couple or a little family. There’s pillows & blankets but we also brought a couple extra blankets, which I’m glad we did. The wood burning stove did a fairly good job of keeping us warm during a 20ish degree night except that it’s pretty small so be prepared with smaller pieces of wood or firelogs which burn slower. Host also provided a good amount of water, camp stove, random cookware, etc. Quite well stocked place. We didn’t get to meet the host but we did see his adorable dogs on our way out so that was awesome :) overall the vibes were wonderful

Awesome little cabin. My girlfriend and I usually car camp, so the cabin was an upgrade to get out of the cold while doing some winter camping. Things I really enjoyed was the wood stove, the overall simplicity of the cabin, and how the cabin was tucked away in the woods. Also shoutout to Clinton! Awesome host when we got there.

Best weekend ever! Clinton was a great host, and made sure we had everything we needed. The cabin is super cute, clean, and has everything you need for a relaxing weekend to unplug and unwind! If going in the middle of winter with a few inches of snow (like us), bring a few extra blankets. We had brought some extras and stayed plenty warm. Would definitely go back!

The tiny home was so well equipped and cozy. Clinton was communicative and kind, and even cranked up the generator when we arrived later than intended after a hike. The directions were clear and helpful upon arrival and we had a really special time. We look forward to coming back here soon and enjoying the walks, home, bon fires, chilly morning arc and beautiful foliage.

Absolutely loved our time with Moon and Julie they were such amazing hosts. The place is perfect for what we wanted - to escape and switch off. Our daughters loved running free, playing with the dogs and catching fish. We wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Twin Springs Tiny House
Really enjoyed our weekend here! The campsite was spacious, private, and quiet, so you feel secluded even though you’re only about a 10-min drive to amenities, including a good grocery option. The tiny cabin is extremely clean/well cared for. We didn’t end up using it much as we set up tents to sleep in, but it was great for storing food and having a back-up bed option. Would definitely stay here again!
