The Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents. They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm. My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a tree in your yard meant that you had "made it". They decided to use the land to grow Christmas trees. This did not last long :) but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall!
Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here. My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp. We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants!
In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted. We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options. We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future.
Come join us in Growing our Dreams!

Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space.
Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. Most of the buildings out front are artist studios (currently for 16 artists). We like to share the camp with others and watch it come back to life.
All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky.
We want to share our property with those who want to stay for more than one night, so we do not accept inquiries of single night stays. We also don't offer longterm rentals as we focus on short term camping.

This is a great site on Ashlee’s farm. She communicated well and very friendly. There are two sites one is a camper on site they rent. The other is a power enabled site for a camper RV. We had our own camper. They have run a hose to the site from their home to fill if needed.
The entry is down hill from the road but manageable and site is fairly level with level blocks lots of room to turn around on the field.
They have goats, chickens, small pigs, and guineas a dog named whisky but cutest are her 3 children who did chores as part of the farm family. Including capturing an escaped goat.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Wild River Farm Camp Site and can't recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, Ashlee made us feel right at home — she was fantastic, attentive, and truly made the experience special.
The campsite itself was beautiful and well-kept, but the real highlight was the farm. My kids were completely charmed by the animals — chickens, pigs, adorable baby goats, and more. It's the kind of up-close farm experience that's hard to find and even harder to forget.
To top it all off, the sunsets from the property were absolutely breathtaking. And the location couldn't be more convenient — just 10 minutes from the Natural Bridge, making it the perfect base camp for exploring the area.
If you're looking for a peaceful, unique, and memorable camping experience with a little farm magic thrown in, look no further. We'll definitely be back!

Ashlee's farm was quaint and beautiful. We woke up to beautiful rolling hills with cattle in the far background . We had three little boys who loved exploring her grounds. There is a beautiful trail and animals to see.
At night the stars are so perfect it looks fake. It's quiet and peaceful . Ashlee brought us fresh eggs scones and some wood for a camp fire which was such a special touch our stay. Would come back here in a heart beat.
