Stories from the community

4 nights at Peace Hill Farm

Absolutely loved the place, very quiet, well kept, with forest and grazing area along with a beautiful garden as your surrounding. Bonus were the animals. Campsite was perfect size. Bonus was being able to use facilities for personnel care. Was very easy to reserve a site. And very convenient to historical sites.

1 night at Moonrise Farmstead

The hosts mowed the site on the day of our arrival which was very nice of them. We stayed for one night on our road trip and we enjoyed the site.

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.

1 night at Peace Hill Farm

We enjoyed this spot! It was very nice to have a bathroom and shower available to use. We only stayed for one night but we would recommend.

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.

Weekend Trip to Phantom Hill Forest Retreats

The place was so comfortable! We stayed at Phoebe; it has everything set up, and there are a lot of things to see around.

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.

2 nights at Peace Hill Farm

I loved tent camping on Sarah’s land. The views were beautiful. There was a site next to us with people there, but they were a relatively far away and we could not hear them.

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.

2 nights at City Camp on Reedy Creek

Easy access, great location, and amazing hospitality. So many great amenities. The mosquitos are pretty bad this time of year but she even had bug spray in the bathroom.

1 night at Flower & Fields Farm

Tiffany's camp is magical. There were small, edible mushrooms spawning everywhere. The site was full of herbs and natives, and otherwise beautiful, thriving plants. You can feel the love, thought, and care that went into creating this space. I can't wait to come back and stay more than one night

Weekend Trip to Sleigh Hill Farm

I loved camping next to the pond! Great night sounds and morning wake up calls from the birds. The tent kept me perfectly dry during the rain and the bed was comfy. I will definitely go back!! Thanks John, you are a wonderful host!!

Weekend Trip to Southern Revere Vineyard & Farm

The Archer’s Den at Sheridan's Family Farm is truly a scenic sanctuary in Virginia. The spot is situated next to a picture-perfect stream that appears to be frequented by a variety of natural critters. I highly recommend this place for those seeking a private, scenic getaway-away in Virginia that is not too far from the city life. Lois

Weekend Trip to Phantom Hill Forest Retreats

What a wonderful campground. Hummingbird had everything we needed and more, so grateful to Kathryn for making it such a welcoming and quiet place for us to enjoy nature.

Weekend Trip to Diamond Heritage Nature Sites

Loved the solitude! This was an amazing place to visit and my puppy to run around. The history is great to hear. The host is top notch and friendly. Hiking and kayaking the Rivanna River nearby. I’ll be back- this time with a downriver trip in mind thanks to locals!

Weekend Trip to Wellness Cabin

We absolutely loved our stay. I went in stressed and came out relaxed. The place was beautifully designed and we loved the indoor/outdoor theme all throughout. The grounds were so serene and we took advantage of all the fun wellness amenities. Trevor was a wonderful host and we would recommend to anyone!

3 nights at Seven Islands River Front Camping

This was our 5th visit to Michael’s beautiful, river front property and it never disappoints. The site is perfect for accessing the river to fish, swim or float. The property is so well maintained and always ready when we arrive. Already looking at dates for our next visit.

3 nights at Seven Islands River Front Camping

I've camped here many times, and will again in the future. A fantastic, quiet, remote location on the James River. When water levels allow, there is a nice beach to enjoy.

Weekend Trip to Moonrise Farmstead

Pretty field. Does have a composting toilet. Had the place to ourselves, was nice and quiet.

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

Isabella was super accommodating! We live close and due to some weird weather we didn’t sleep at the campsite but we went the next morning for breakfast and to enjoy the creek with our dog. The campsite is laid out really well and has everything you need. It’s a beautiful spot!

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.

Reservation Camping on the Water!

2 sites · Tents3 acres · King William, VA

Learn more about this land: Nestle on the Pamunkey Indian Reservation also known for Spiritual Healing that overlooks the Pamunkey River. The Pamunkey people have been here for over 10,000 years making this area one of the oldest reservations in the country. We have a small platform sitting right on the water for privacy and beautiful views of the river. You may see Bald Eagles, Grey Herons, Ducks, Geese, River Otters, and so much more. During low tide, the water is pulled back into the main part of the river and this is where you will see the wildlife during this time. There are up to 8 Bald Eagles here at a time and during the Spring to Fall, you will see Osprey hunting for food right in front of you and usually getting chased by the Eagles. What an awesome site to be able to camp and be a part of so many creatures all in their natural habitat. We live right up the hill. Depending on where your tent is located, you may or may not see our home. Usually you cannot but want you to be aware. When you are camping, we respect your space and privacy to the fullest. During the full moon, the water on the campsite will rise and you will need to camp closer to the land. Also, when the tied is out, you will not be able to launch the canoe or kayak. There is a short path to walk and it is a very short incline. Please note that hunting season starts in October, and you may hear the noise.

City Camp on Reedy Creek

2 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Richmond, VA

Learn more about this land: Come take a load off at this forested Richmond retreat overlooking Reedy Creek. Set up a tent, car camp, or bring your small trailer to one of two sites on a unique property backed up to 20+ acres of woods. Imagine a hidden gem where you can relax to the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds, but can walk or bike to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, parks or the river. If you are coming into Richmond for a Brown's Island event we are a five minute Uber to an access point using the Potterfield walking bridge (it's a beautiful walk across the James River to the island). Each campsite includes 3 level spots to pitch tents (see dimensions below), and a connected space to park one car, van or small trailer. The large parking space can be used as a fourth tent footprint if needed. There are additional parking spaces. Each site has a fire pit (with firewood on site), a grate to grill over the fire, a picnic table, and a hammock. There is a shared outbuilding with a composting toilet, hand washing sink, outdoor shower (solar warmed), and space to change privately. Campsite W ~ Tent footprints: 1) 10' x 12' 2) 10' x 13' 3) 9' x 10' Campsite E ~ Tent footprints: 1) 15'x16' 2) 10' x 15' 3) 9' x 10' **Pricing is based on groups of up to four adults or two adults with children. For groups of five to seven adults there is an additional charge of $10 person per day. For groups of eight or more we suggest you reserve both sites and have the entire camp to yourselves. Campsites W and E are about 80' apart. Both are around 100' to the creek. The spots can accommodate a total length (towing vehicle plus trailer) of up to 35 ft. There is an outdoor spigot with potable water and hoses for clean up. The woodlands and creek adjacent to the campsites have trails that are accessible to the public. You and your furry friends are welcome to use these paths, but know that others may be using them too. Richmond has so much to offer and we are just a hop, skip, and a jump to many wonderful attractions - kayak or sunbathe on the James River, walk or bike on trails around the city, rock climb, dine, imbibe. PLEASE NOTE* These sites are on a private property with a house that is visible to campers, but we give our guests complete privacy and don't plan to interact unless you need something from us. While you are on a 2 acre property backed up to a 20 acre wooded area, we are still in the middle of the city and you will hear city sounds. This is a safe space. We do not discriminate based on anything that makes you...you.

Seven Islands River Front Camping

3 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Arvonia, VA

9337 Bridgeport Rd, Arvonia Va.NOTE:We have changed things a bit. We are going with only 2 sites this year. Site 1 is no longer available. 9337 Bridgeport Rd. Arvonia, Va. Turn at the aluminum canoe placed on top of a large orange road barrier at the edge of our drive way. The canoe is bolding displaying the word HIPCAMP with a red arrow leading the way. Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. Bateau boats pass by both campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are manned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting. Go by a local store and buy night crawlers,worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something . Firewood available per request and delivered for$30.00 a load. Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Pitch your tent on the beach or under the trees if you prefer some shade. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night. Safety Notice: Not accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak when the James River level is 6 feet or higher at Scottsville. At 7.5 - 8 feet, there is not much beach to play on and the river is too dangerous to navigate. You can drive in and camp, but please stay clear of all water activities, including fishing, in these dangerous conditions.

Lightwood Forest

1 site · Lodging110 acres · Spring Grove, VA

Lightwood Forest is an ancient forest of mixed beech, oak, poplar, and other hardwoods in rural Surry County, Virginia, and is some of the earliest settled land in English North America. The stream that runs through Lightwood Forest was the original southern border of the land given by Chief Powhatan to his daughter Pocahontas, and her husband John Rolfe, as a wedding gift. Their son Thomas's house was somewhere on the property or in a neighboring field. The forest is magnificent, and is an example of a rapidly dwindling ecosystem in Tidewater Virginia. There are many possible camping sites on the 110 acres. On the property stands Lightwood House, the 18th-century home of a Revolutionary War soldier and his family. The house is available for overnight stays, or as a central meeting place for campers and guests. The property is only rented to one party at a time, with exclusive use of the entire estate. The house can be viewed as a sort of time machine, but with all modern comforts and necessities. Lightwood provides lovers of history and nature the opportunity to enjoy both--either as campers or house guests. This unique house and property offers visitors a rare opportunity to escape the twenty-first century and venture into a haven of peace, quiet and solitude. Learn more about this land: Within the expansive and protected boundaries of Lightwood Forest, many delightful and secluded camping sites can be found. Choose between green meadows or woodland settings with ancient majestic oaks, stately poplars or silvery beeches and sycamores as your nearest neighbors. A well-trodden walking trail, over two miles long, meanders through this, your very own Hundred Acre Wood. Up hills and down ravines, along ancient cart paths and road beds, wander at your own pace through this beautiful forest, watching all the while for, and sharing your space with, Lightwood's very own forest denizens. Who might that be, you ask? Well, look for quite the array of bird species including woodpeckers and owls, hawks and wild turkeys, ravens and crows. Be on the lookout for woodland tortoises and turtles as well as raccoons and possums, who all live within the protected boundaries of Lightwood Forest. You may not see them during the day, but if you look closely on the little sandy beaches that line the mossy banks of the streams that run through the property, you'll see their tiny paw prints, letting you know they were there, drinking at leisure from the clear, clean water of their protected forest home. In the depth of winter, a house on neighboring property can be glimpsed at a distance through the woods, but other than that camping sites deep within Lightwood Forest are completely secluded from any sign of civilization. The cozy and comfortable historic eighteenth-century house sleeps up to ten guests as well as up to two dog friends. All modern conveniences are available including WIFI, a six-foot jetted tub and walk-in marble shower in an expansive downstairs bathroom. Lightwood Forest is a land steeped in history. The main stream that traverses the property marked the southern boundary of the wedding gift given by Wahunsonacock, alias Chief Powhatan, upon the marriage of his favorite child, Pocahontas, to John Rolfe, in 1614. While the property seems far from civilization, the small town of Surry is only 1.5 miles away. Additionally, a short ferry ride away, across the mighty James River, are the nationally renowned historic museums of Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Historic Jamestowne. All lie along the beautiful, scenic Colonial Parkway. Lightwood is the perfect retreat for lovers of both history and nature as well as for souls in search of peace, quiet and solitude.
