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!

We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed. You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well. We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest. Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

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.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this beautiful farmhouse loft near the South Anna River.

Indoor amenities include a comfortable queen-sized bed, a kitchenette, a washer/dryer, hot shower, a TV, free WiFi. Just 15 mins west of historic Ashland, this countryside getaway is perfect to relax after a long week, but close enough to explore the dining options in town. This space offers a tranquil and rejuvenating escape from the busyness of your daily routine. You can unwind in the peaceful surroundings of the wooded lawn out front, relax under the birches or the old pear tree, take a walk by the Japanese maple, or bask in the shade of the giant European Beech. You can even show off (or work on!) your green thumb by planting something in the constantly evolving Guest Garden. Or... simply spend a lazy day down by the river with a good book, and cozy up by the campfire on a chilly evening. With comfortable amenities and gorgeous outdoor spaces, this retreat promises a relaxing and refreshing stay that guests won't soon forget. You'll find a map in the Welcome Book as soon as you get here. Most of the trails (all pictured) you can access, but there are a couple trails we ask you to avoid for privacy reasons.

Tucked away in Virginia’s backcountry, our secluded 60-acre farm offers something for everyone: a private 6-acre lake, wooded trails, a friendly animal pen, screened-in patio and dining, and a full-sized performing stage. Please let us welcome you to the Little Farmhouse at Fox Moon Farm.

Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, a queen bed upstairs, a twin trundle downstairs, and a cozy living room—offering all the comforts of home. Our private 6-acre lake, fondly named Ursula’s Underwater Universe, is home to a variety of fish, including largemouth bass. A swimming platform floating over the deep area is perfect for resting or diving. Kayaks are available for free, and toilets and showers are conveniently located next to the lake. By the lake and its small sandy beach, the Cabana is a serene escape. Comfortable patio furniture invites midday snoozes, cozy reading time, or family gatherings. It's also a great spot to keep an eye on your family’s lake activities or watch farm residents like turtles and the many varieties of birds, including great blue herons. Also by the lake is a screened patio, our “Lilly Pad”, featuring lounging and dining areas—all with breathtaking views of our picturesque lake. Mom’s Stage is a magical hub where music, art, and community come alive. Nestled in the heart of our expansive grassy field, this full-sized performing stage is a sanctuary for expression, laughter, and connection. Interested in a larger group event? Please inquire!

Weekend Trip to Phantom Hill Forest Retreats

Had a great time group camping at Hummingbird site! Kathryn is a thoughtful and responsive host, the directions and maps provided made it easy to get to the site and navigate the trails. Driving into Hummingbird is a bit bumpy but not difficult at all with a vehicle thats not too close to the ground, and gives a neat view of the mushroom farm operation. All the campsites are spaced out far enough away from each other to get a real sense of privacy. The RV is better stocked with cookware and games than most Air BnBs I’ve been to, and the instructions for using the generator and water were clear and easy to follow. We had plenty of space to pitch tents, hearing the barred owls in the night was such a treat. Our group was a mix of seasoned campers and some outdoor not-so-enthusiasts, so this site was perfect for meeting those creature comfort needs while still getting an awesome camping experience. The honor system shop was another great treat! Really appreciated how clean the compost toilet and shower were too. This has easily been one of my favorite Hipcamp experiences. So much fun, highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful farmhouse! The property feels like a little piece of magic, with a gorgeous lake, horses, goats, chickens, and the sweetest dogs. There were hummingbirds everywhere, which made the whole experience feel even more peaceful and special. Maria is a wonderful host and such a lovely person. She made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and truly added to the warmth of the experience. Our two dogs had an absolute blast and loved exploring the property. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway surrounded by nature, animals, and beautiful scenery, this is the place. We left feeling relaxed, happy, and already wishing we could stay longer.

Always a great weekend. Maybe be a little careful if parking on 1st St, it's a narrow bumpy road and both of our vehicles got side swiped while parked there over the weekend. Of course this isn't Andy's fault at all, just a heads up that there may be better places to park.

1 night at Sharp's Island

We throughly enjoyed our time on Sharpe’ s island. There was plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sounds of rushing water. My only tip would be to pack some ground beef/hornet spray when you come. One of party set their tent up on the corner between the two “beaches” and disturbed a ground nest. He was stung several times, went and purchased 4 cans of spay and saturated the ground. That was the only negative thing we encountered on our stay. I will definitely return.

Weekend Trip to Earthwalk Ways Retreat

I had a nearby visit with friends that I took the opportunity to turn into a weekend retreat. Darlene was so nice and welcoming. I appreciate her letting me check in during the evening since I couldn't leave work early. She took the time to show me around the grounds the next morning and then left me to it. The room was cozy and had a nice set up for tea /coffee and any basic cooking you might do on a hot plate. I really enjoyed looking through some of the books in the room, my favorite was an anthology of wisdom and stories from grandmothers. I spent time by the creek and one morning saw 3 deer and a buck wandering across. Also really loved the spa set up. 10/10 I left feeling grounded and will definitely be back the next time I find myself in the area.

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!
