Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

4 nights at Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

We throughly enjoyed our peaceful camping trip. Robert's land is perfect for our needs. Our dogs were so relaxed and so were we. We will have a really hard time enjoying a regular style campground ever again. We will be back!! Communication was great and responsive. We managed to fit a triple axel 34ft camper in with minimal leveling. We enjoyed some breweries nearby and shopping in mineral. The fireworks were a special treat and even my hotspot worked for Netflix. Thank you for sharing your land.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise by the Pond

My wife and I had a fantastic time relaxing and enjoying our anniversary at "Sunrise at the pond." Kevin and his wife were excellent host, and the animals were great entertainment.

1 night at Rustic Camp Privacy

I loved camping in a tent on Alex’s land. We enjoyed s’mores that we made over the complimentary firewood. Lots of land to explore.

3 nights at Riverfront Retreat

Easy check in with clear directions for the site. Plenty of spaces, but not all are level with decent shade. Access to the river is easy at the two marked points, but definitely not anywhere else as it's way too steep/overgrown. The river is mostly shallow and slow moving, perfect for tubing or wading. Facilities were as clean as to be expected and stocked (didn't use the showers). We had the entire place to ourselves for a few days and would definitely come back.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise by the Pond

We had a terrific time camping on Kevin's farm. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend surrounded by nature. Despite visiting in the heat of summer, there was plenty of shade at both the gathering area by the pond and at the tent, which was very cool and comfortable. Kevin and his family are terrific hosts, and we enjoyed the chance to walk their working farm and see a variety of animals. Our hosts thought of everything and were super accessible. And you definitely won't run out of firewood! We definitely look forward to returning.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

this was a serene experience, five stars. It was a very quiet place extremely peaceful with 10 out of 10 recommend and will definitely visit again.

2 nights at Sunrise by the Pond

Other’s reviews of the stay are spot on! Spacious tent, we added an additional queen size raised camp bed with ease. Shower is hot and close to site and port-a-john clean and closer to the site. There’s a gas station with a convenience market less than a mile from the site for last minute supplies. We took the kayaks out for an afternoon trip around the pond and got to visit a few farm animals. There are trails to hike right from the camp site. Malinda and Kevin were responsive to our request and really enjoyed getting to meet them. Hope to stay here again in the future!

2 nights at Breezy View

Excellent site. Cleared and clean nice view of the river. Tree configuration makes for a nice group of hammocks. Will be back. Host was very communicative and prompt to respond.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Wonderful host and site! Someone else was at our site when we showed up and Yates was responsive and made sure we had another equally as lovely site to use. He also brought us some firewood for the inconvenience. Thanks, Yates!

5 nights at Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

Fantastic camp site. Private, ample space, plenty to do near by. Glad we found this spot.

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

We stayed at site #3 “River”. Beautiful private shaded spot perched in the forest overlooking the marsh and river. Riparian wonderland filled with songbirds, hummingbirds, and frogs. Son delighted in seeing a pair of bald eagles soaring high above the campsite. Directions were clear and host responsive when we arrived. Just make sure and bring your own firewood, since none was available upon our arrival, and the woods had a limited supply to scavenge.

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

We were looking for a one night place to camp close to Richmond and this exceeded our expectations. Even though we were in an urban setting, it really did feel like we were out in the woods. It was quiet and peaceful. The sound of the creek, frogs and crickets made for a perfect evening. I was a little concerned about the composting toilet but it was very clean, well maintained with no smell.

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

This place is so special it is hard to tell others about it. It is a place you would want to gate keep! The water was so cool. The camp sites were perfection. The bathroom was great. It felt so safe. This place is magical.

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Really nice private sites. Our dogs loved it. We were just there for one night and it was rainy so we didn’t get to experience everything the land had to offer, but check-in was easy, the sites were easy to find and the land was beautiful. Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to Earthwalk Ways Retreat

I really enjoyed my stay at Darlene❤️Darlene was great, very very accommodating. She called me asking if we needed anything that she could provide. The gazebo was amazing. It was equipped with a fan that came in handy since it was hot and sage with a feather that i was able to cleanse the space, and ourselves. We loved having the option to sleep in our tent or sleep in the hammocks. The creek was beautiful and the area so peaceful and the perfect space to do a forest bathing, which i highly recommend. Thank you so much Darlene for sharing your piece of heaven and sharing your time with me, I learned so much from you and my time there.

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Retreat

I loved tent camping on Eriks land! The river was fun and staff was helpful. Directions were clear. There was another site nearby but it wasn't too loud. My girlfriend and I felt safe and would definitely come back! Thank you erik

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

The campsite was great. It was in good condition, good view, and secluded. Only problem I has was that I was promised a bundle of free firewood but there was no firewood available. I messaged the owner and he never replied to me, so if you have a problem with anything he may not respond. Over all though it was a good experience, just a bit misleading.

4 nights at Riverdale Farms

We enjoyed our stay at Riverdale farms, we rented both sites for full privacy! It was a beautiful property and we parked our camper right in front of the river. There were awesome concrete steps for access to the river and our kid enjoyed playing in the water. If we hadn't rented both sites, the second one is fairly close and shares water access. But they did say they had plans to make more privacy and a second set of stairs to the water in the future. The fishing was not very exciting but that could just be due to the water level or time of year. As for any of the noises mentioned in other reviews. We hardly heard the highway, trains or amusement park so we don't feel any of those were a bother at all. The gun range is on the same farm and a few hundred yards away so safety was not a concern at all since it is facing a different direction. But it was pretty loud when multiple people were shooting at once and our dog was not a fan of it at all. As we were leaving on Saturday morning it looked like they were setting up for a class on the range that would've been little loud, so that worked out well that we were leaving. Overall I would recommend this hipcamp since it was beautiful and mostly peaceful with great water access, plus the river was very clear and kid friendly for swimming.

3 nights at City Camp on Reedy Creek

Perfect getaway in nature while still being part of the city. The thoughtfulness of the campsites and amenities speak volumes about the sincere hospitality of the host - Isabella and family. My camper broke down (the crank broke, so it wouldn't close) while staying here, and Isabella showed me patience and compassion when I needed it most. I highly recommend checking out this neat little gem in the heart of Richmond... Truly a one of a kind in the city.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

The tent site was remote and had a beautiful view of the river. It was self check-in style and the campsite was easy to find. We felt safe and had a great nights sleep.

Visionary Trailz

2 sites · RVs, Tents35 acres · Saint Stephens Church, VA

Come and enjoy a piece of this 35 acres former Equestrian facility. Experience our growth as we reopen former trails through this lovely Indian Neck property. We have a level 2 EVSE (EV charger) with J1772 plug on site. We are minutes away from the Rappahannock tribal center and the chief's former residence is literally across the street. There is numerous wildlife including birds, deer, butterflies, groundhogs, skunks, and rabbits on the property. The town of Tappahannock in Essex County where there's a Walmart and dining options is a short 9 miles away. Also in Tappahannock is the Rappahannock River with boating, fishing, and great views of the river itself. Our home and some of the outbuildings was built in the late 1700's. When I think about the fact that we live in a house that was here during the war of 1812, it just blows my mind. The property itself was once part of a much larger plantation as was many of the properties in the area. The property was once a dairy farm and after that it was a equestrian operation. Throughout the woods there are overgrown trails that were once the horse riding trails. We are working to re-open those trails for walking and biking. In the future we would like to offer a dump site, electric and water hookups at a few of our sites, and porta-johns.

Carolzy’s Secret Gardens

3 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · Mechanicsville, VA

Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

The Dragon Inn Clearings

5 sites · RVs, Tents7 acres · La Plata, MD

This privately owned large home is tucked away on 7+ acres wooded area in scenic semi-secluded neighborhood in La Plata, Charles County. Charles County was created in 1658 by an Order in Council. There was also an earlier Charles County from 1650 to 1653, sometimes referred to in historic documents as Old Charles County. In April 1865, John Wilkes Booth made his escape through Charles County after shooting President Abraham Lincoln. He was on his way to Virginia. John Wilkes Booth fled to southern Maryland, toward Zekiah Swamp. Booth entered the swamp after treatment by Dr. Samuel Mudd for the broken leg he suffered escaping Fords Theater. A black tobacco farmer guided Booth and his co-conspirator David Herold through the swamp to the home of a Confederate sympathizer, Samuel Cox. Cox led Booth and Herold to Thomas A. Jones who helped them the rest of the way through the Zekiah Swamp and across the Potomac River to Virginia. In 1926, a tornado ripped through the county leaving 17 dead (including 13 schoolchildren) and on April 28, 2002, another tornado destroyed much of downtown La Plata. In its path of destruction was our location now known as THE DRAGON INN, the house was completely torn down to its foundation and rebuild in 2003. You can see a marker stone in the brick wall near the garage. This county also has several properties on the National Register of Historic Places. Among them are Green Park and Pleasant Hill, home of the Green and Spalding Families. The Dragon Inn and its all natural wooded backyard, also known as Zekiah Swamp, is part of the Potomac River basin in Charles County, Maryland. The swamp is 21 miles (34 km) of braided stream stretching the length of Charles County and is a tributary of the Potomac River. It sits at an elevation of three feet 90.91 m) and 450 acres (180 ha) of its southern end is protected as the Zekiah Swamp Natural Environment Area. Although the Zekiah Swamp Natural Environment Area is primarily owned by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, it isn't managed for recreation. As a result, there are no paved public access roads, parking areas, or scenic overlooks. Nor are there marked or developed trails, picnic areas, campsites, or visitor's centers. Nonetheless, a limited level of recreational use is still possible. In connection with its Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail system, the U.S. National Park Service notes that access is possible by way of the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and SR 234 (Budds Creek Road). Traveling east from that point on SR 234, one comes to Penn's Hill Road/Allen’s Fresh Road. Following Allen's Fresh Road south at mile 23.2, there is a dirt road on the west side that leads through the swamp and woods to Allen's Fresh Run of the Wicomico River. This is suitable for driving or walking. Other sight-seeing or photo opportunities are possible with brief stops along the shoulder of SR 234 where it passes through the Natural Environment Area. Similar possibilities exist to the north on SR 6 (Charles Street) that runs between La Plata and Charlotte Hall. If you are feeling adventurous you can explore some paths, clearings and bamboo fields leading to a small creek flowing into the Zekiah Swamp Run directly from our backyard!

Billyville is not just a state of mind, it is a place to camp, play, and relax.

Wifi, well water from a hose and composting outhouse facilities are available. Other amenities include a six hole disc golf course, little free library.

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 (see links below for things to do and see) https://www.travellens.co/best-things-to-do-in-louisa-county-va/ https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g57704-Activities-Elkton_Virginia.html https://www.virginia.org/places-to-visit/regions/central-virginia/charlottesville/?view=list&sort=qualityScore&bounds=false
