3.3mi from Gordonsville · 3 sites
Wolftrap Farm was owned by James & Dolley Madison during their time, and they called it Black Meadow. Their home, Montpelier, is just across the mountains you see from the campsite. It passed through the hands of various local farmers during the 19th & 20th centuries, and for many years was a dairy farm. It became primarily a horse farm in the 1970's, when it was owned by the German Von Wulffen family.The Cuthrell family from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area acquired the farm in 2003 and converted it to a resort farm, featuring upscale vacation homes. Beginning around 2013, the farm started morphing into primarily a wedding venue, and now hosts over 60 weddings each year.

116 acres of forrest, hills and dells. Miles of hiking trails marked and well maintained. A small pond and beautiful labyrinth. Over 50 acres of deep wilderness woods. General Lee and his troops once camped here. But they cleaned up pretty good, so all you can really see is the old spring and wagon road. This is a working herb and small fruit farm. We have been experimenting with all kinds of exotic herbs and trees. Some make it, many don't. We sell dried herb teas. In addition we have 5 different kinds of bamboo. We use the bamboo for so many things.
Camptown is our largest site. It features a large fire pit and a circular field that can accomodate 10 to 15 or more tents. You can also park smaller camper vans, teardrops, etc. in this large area. Good for parties, family reunions.
The "# person" per site listing considers adults, not children... bring a whole crew of kids (try to have enough supervision - if there is such a concept!) The kids have such a great time out here... it is amazing. They love the labyrinth! By the way, that labryinth entrance is behind the kiosk. It's the largest of it's kind in North America.
It seems like we made this place for the kids in ourselves and when actual kids see it they go wild. The last bunch were running and yelping with their picked flowers all round and round in the labyrinth for hours!
Also, if you want peace and quiet we have beautiful remote campsites away from all the kids running around the labryinth whooping it up. (sites 4 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 10)

Billyville is not just a state of mind, it is a place to camp, play, and relax. Located in rustic Bells Crossroads, VA three miles from I-64, Billyville is a work in progress featuring 2 tent and 4 RV sites with electric hookup and lots of space. Wifi, well water from a hose and composting outhouse facilities are available. Other amenities include a six hole disc golf course, little free library.
Within one hour’s ride is a wealth of things to do, experience and see; within reach are the Shenandoah mountains, the University of Virginia and Charlottesville and Lake Anna . There is something for everyone from children to seniors, from outdoor adventurers, to history buffs, arts and entertainment seekers, bargain shoppers and local gourmet food and drink lovers.
At days end you can go to concerts or “clubbing” in town or return to Billyville and enjoy the quiet, peaceful ambiance of a campfire under a starlit sky.
Check-Ins and Arrival Instructions:
Check-ins on weekdays are dependent on my work schedule. If this is your first time at Billyville, I need to be on property to guide you into your site. Please reach out before your stay so we can coordinate. If I am off on that day, check-in is after 1pm. If I am working, it will be after 5pm and occasionally after 7. I am currently testing out some procedures to allow self check-in. We'll see how that pans out.
Anyway, to get to Billyville:
Turn onto Bells Lane. (Dirt Road). You'll see a white fence on your left down the lane about .2 miles. Just after the fence, you'll see a red sign at the beginning of a rope fence. Turn off Bells Lane just after the sign and follow the fence, keeping it on you left.
Here's a Youtube video of the approach into Site 3: https://youtu.be/xUxmTelkidw

There is now a policy of no outside pets allowed. If you have an outstanding reservation including a pet and need to cancel you'll be given a full refund.
This is an active 55-acre horse farm. About 2/3rds of the property is developed with barns and fenced pastures and the other third is largely undeveloped areas with a loop driveway where most of the camp sites are located. There is a large white house at the far end of the property. The restroom for campers to use is located there. To one side of the driveway, on the way to the house there is a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo.
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 lovely - secluded in the perfect way! Only caveat is you'll want to bring a good AWD type vehicle with some decent undercarriage clearance - my Corolla never would've done well going up.

We stayed here during the first week of May and had a wonderful experience. The family who owns the farm was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. They made us feel very comfortable and were happy to let us wander the farm and interact with the animals, which was a huge highlight for our two young kids. We camped with another family who also had young children, and everyone had a great time.
The campsite itself was very enjoyable, and having a composting toilet nearby was definitely a nice convenience.
A couple practical things future campers may want to know:
The campsite is about a one-minute walk from the parking area, including a small hill, so just be prepared if you plan to store food or gear in your vehicle during your stay.
Since you’re camping next to a working farm, expect animal noises during the day and occasionally at night as well.
There is also a road somewhere in the distance (maybe about a quarter mile away), and at night when everything else is quiet, you can sometimes hear light traffic noise.
Overall, we had a really fun and memorable stay and would absolutely recommend it to other families looking for a unique farm camping experience.

Had a great time! Was originally booked for site 3, but after looking at reviews and wanting easier water access and seeing site 2 was open, the host was very kind and switched our sites a few days prior. Site 2 was flat, spacious, and private. Getting down to the water was a little tricky especially if you are carrying belongings, but after a time or two you get the hang of it. There is a rope attached to a tree that you hold onto as you go down the side of the hill. We caught 11 fish during our two day trip, great fishing spot! Highly recommend!

A beautiful mountain escape backing right up to Shenandoah National Park. The setting alone makes this place feel special, and the cabin absolutely lives up to it.
The drive in is about 15 minutes along a dirt road with a steeper final stretch, but it’s very manageable and worth it for the privacy. You’re also only about 25 minutes from the Swift Run Gap entrance, making park access easy.
The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The mountain themed decor made it feel warm and inviting, the cots were surprisingly comfortable, and having dog beds already there was a huge bonus. Our dogs loved it.
If the upper tent campsite isn’t booked, which you can reserve as well, you might have the opportunity to hike the half mile trail up to it and take in a gorgeous overlook. It’s about a 30 minute uphill hike with roughly 500 feet of elevation gain and well worth it. We stayed during some on and off rain and still had a great trip. Even without a view at the top, it was still a really enjoyable hike.
The nearest grocery store is about 25 minutes away in Stanardsville at the Greene Great Valu, which was convenient for anything we needed.
Make sure to check out South River Falls, one of the most beautiful waterfall hikes in Shenandoah National Park.
Overall, a peaceful and scenic stay. We would definitely come back!

An unbelievable spot.
The road that leads to the property is rocky but doable in any car if you take a slow. The driveway up is a different story but Dave planned for this and the alternative only added a bit more steps to the journey. The hike up the mountain is steep with about 500 elevation gain in a little over half a mile. The yellow arrows he added really helped. And the view is unbeatable!
