The directions were spot on, even leading to the exact site. There was plenty of room between sites. Billy was a warm and friendly person and certainly made you feel very welcome. I will want to camp there again

I would highly recommend Billyville to other Hip campers. Our Host Billy was very quick to respond in messages from the very start. Upon arrival, we were greeted friendly and felt welcomed.
The site is very quiet. We really enjoyed the serenity of an evening fire under the starlit sky.
Billy had got our fire ready to light. All we had to do was light it. Very nice.
The entrance is down a one lane road. Well maintained. Very easy to navigate. We have a 31 foot 5th wheel (13’ high), and had no problems getting in. Billy met us and guided us into our spot. It is a big pull thru.
The site is grassy. Not muddy. Easy to level. Set up with a fire ring, a picnic table, and two Adirondack chairs. There is a 30 amp plug. We have 2 dogs. And was surprised to hear Billy had just finished creating a dog run.
On the property is the Bandshell. Where Billy puts on concerts with other talented musicians. So it being Labor Day weekend, we got to enjoy a concert.
If you’re looking for a very quiet place to stay, this is it.

The campsites were fantastic. Water pressure was wonderful. 30 and 50 amp hook ups beautiful bathhouse. Trails to explore for Miles. Wonderful access to a nice shallow spot on the James River. Great for swimming, putting in your kayak or tube. You will also notice the remnants of a larger infrastructure that was once a private school campus. Research Saint Emma‘s Military Academy before coming. https://youtu.be/YA3rtfA3gZM?si=ZUmy7FJ_hzHn1qTB

This campground is definitely a hidden gem!
Tons of space, full hookups, trails, and a great place for family gatherings. We were at site 11 which was secluded and facing the trees. The bathhouse was adorable with plenty of space. They have a gazebo with lots of picnic tables perfect for parties. The grassy area between the campground and the gazebo is big enough for multiple games of soccer / badminton / volleyball …anything you can think of. There’s hiking, the James River and what appears to be a dog washing area. Also a community fire pit. Can’t wait to come back!

Friendly and accommodating host. Was able to fulfill special requests.
Green grass sites, easily leveled.
Remove feeling but still close to amenities, tractor Supply Company (propane), Food Lion (groceries), BBQ Exchange (best bbq in long time, and great cup cakes and pies), several fun breweries and wineries.

Friendly and accommodating, was able to help with special requests.
Fire pits were prepped with kindling and (free) fire wood, all we had to do was light a match. Easy and fun.
Sites were were green grass and mostly level.
Remote feeling, yet fairly close to some great places, best Bar-B-Q ever at BBQ Exchange, close to Food Line (groceries) and Tractor Supply (propane) as well as several excellent brew pubs.
At least 3 holes of Disc golf on premeses, I don’t play but saw 3.

Billy's place is really nice. He prepped the fire ring for us and brought us even some kindling wood to start it. His land is vast and we saw gracing deer every day. Super good location. Many breweries and wineries around and place to hike as well. Billy answered quickly if we had any questions or concerns.

Beautiful and quiet. I host was quick to answer any questions we had.
Getting there: The hosts directions are very clear and get you to the site with no problems. The cinder roads in and out are well maintained If it is your first trip I do recommend going during daylight. Be on the lookout for deer they are everywhere. And there is one way in and one way out.
Campsite: Sites are all parallel pull through starting with #1 as the first site. I recommend turning left at site 1 and driving around to the back because of the angle. Each site has a fire ring and a table. Note there is no lighting. Each site has water, sewage and electricity; the power boxes have plug ins for 20, 30 & 50 amps (unless noted). There are well kept bath houses at the pavilion located about 75 yards away.
Activities: There is lots of trails for walking, hiking and bicycling. There is a lot to see including wildlife and some of the buildings from years gone by. Although you are out in the middle of nowhere, it’s a quick trip to the highway and close to local shops and stores as well as close to Midlothian and Richmond.
Overall: This was a great break from it all. I loved the quiet and I definitely look forward to returning again.

Nice facilities, clean and quiet. Communications with Jessica was excellent. The wide open area surrounded by woods was excellent for stargazing. We really enjoyed staying here and we will be back!

There many words that can describe this place but one that quickly comes to mind is Magical! This hidden gem in Powhatan county has so much to offer for outdoor enthusiasts and even if you’re just looking to escape the busy city life and have a more slow pace and peaceful rejuvenation this is definitely the place to be! All the RV spots are gravel but leveled , full hookups, pull-thru and have fire ring and picnic table. The added bonus is the shelter with several picnic tables, grill and bathroom with flush toilets and showers if needed! Now it is in the middle of nowhere, so I would recommend to bring all the items you’re going to need for the duration of the trip (including bug spray). Cell service wasn’t too bad, I have Verizon and was able to get minimal 3 bars consistently. Overall I enjoyed my stay and cannot wait to come back here soon!

Nice quiet camp site. We happened to have the whole place to ourselves. As “dark sky” as you’ll get this close to Richmond and wide open so the view of the stars was perfect. Jessica was a responsive host and answered our questions quickly. The kids had a great time exploring the property. Good alternative to the State Parks near-by.

Dave's property is remote but easily accessible. The property sites are visible but well spaced apart. Both had electrical and water available. The road noise was noticeable but died off at night. The only thing we heard in the morning was the "clip clop" of the horse drawn buggies of local farmers.
Dave was very friendly and knowledgably about the area and local history.
The weather was beautiful, which made our stay that much better.
We will definitely stay again and highly recommend.
