Camp Cove Creek is located in rural Faber, Virginia which is 20 minutes from Charlottesville in beautiful Nelson County. In addition to the many natural features like the Blue Ridge Parkway, Appalachian Trail and the James River, Nelson is home to Wintergreen Resort and Oakridge Estate and hosts events such as the Lok'n Festival, Camp Jeep, and Overland Expo.
Camp Cove Creek was part of my grandparent's Waveland Farm. Originally situated on over 600 acres, the brick antebellum house across the hill was used as a hospital in the Civil War. The camp used to be a horse and cattle farm as well as a flea market and airport with grass airstrip when my mom owned the land. Our vegetable garden was by the swimming hole. The airstrip still maintained as such in order to offer aviation-accessible camping. It is s the future home of Faber Christmas tree farm and features several notable antique vehicles rusting in peace. Some models are of the same make and model featured on TV and film.
Camp Cove Creek is easily accessible via Rt 29 and Rt 6 east (Irish Road). Our property sits at the confluence of Bear and Cove Creeks where wading/hiking/tubing is permitted and encouraged (with water shoes). We are continually trying to improve the site by removing old barbed wire, poison ivy, roadside trash, and invasive plant species in addition to planting Christmas Trees, raising 3 kids, and working 2 full time jobs so please forgive our works in progress!
This is your 30-acre camping playground! Licensed off-road vehicles, ADV and Dual-sport motorcycles, horses, personal electric vehicles and EVEN PRIVATE PLANES are welcomed! Camp anywhere along it or the creeks bordering it. We encourage walking the route first as it has intentionally been left primitive to provide more of an authentic and fun getaway adventure. Overlanding does tend to scratch paint so enter at your own risk! There is a Volleyball Net and Horseshoe set for use as well.
Nearby in the soapstone mining town of Schuyler you can visit the home place of Earl Hamner, best known for his creation of The Waltons TV show. While you're there check out the Waltons Mountain Museum, which happens to be my old elementary school and my parent's former high school. The Rockfish River dam and quarry gardens are really cool too!

We had such a great experience at Swedish Lilac. We had a beautiful site near the river, with a view of the meadow. Our hosts, Fritz and Valerie were so accommodating and gave us some great tips on what to see and do in the Lexington area. We rode our bikes on the Chessie Trail, which was wonderful, shady and level. We also visited Natural Bridge State Park. Also enjoyed playing ping pong in the pavilion and watching fireflies at night. Wish we could have stayed longer.

I love going to this campground! Hosts are extremely friendly and always accommodating if we need to stay extra days or need to leave due to emergencies! We will always go back there when we are in the area!

Our stay was everything we expected and more. The hosts were incredibly friendly and communicated very well at every step. We would definitely come back if we were in this part of the woods again!

We had a lovely stay at Swedish Lilac Campground. It was so peaceful and quiet. We camped right next to the river - the kids loved playing in it and we loved the peaceful sound of the flowing water. The shower and bathrooms were nice and clean! And the owners were very friendly and gave us great recommendations of things to do! We hope to go back again!!

Spent a week while working remote and it was perfect! Easy access, beautiful views, and tons of space to walk the pup. We even got the first snow to ring in the season!

Very pleasant place to stay with mountain views and a quiet, peaceful farm. There is a water hookup and electric if needed. Would definitely stay again.

Spent three nights here at spot 11. Loved it. Very spacious spot with a large grass field beside it that leads to a picnic and ping pong table covered area. There's a road on one side of the campground but that didn't bother us too much. Beyond the creek on the other side are some railroad tracks that, again, didn't really bother us. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were hot. They offer free WiFi that works throughout the campground and free firewood, never seen that before. Owners were friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Fascinating place. Quiet. Took a few minutes to find a level spot, because we didn’t want to drag out the leveling blocks. Lots of acreage to explore. Had no problem finding wood for the campfire. Un-hooking the tow vehicle on site was a little tough … next time we’ll do that off site.

I only stayed for the night and early morning, so I can’t speak to the full experience, but the property is beautiful and accommodations were great. The serenity and breathtaking sunrise is well worth the price of admission.

Our 4 nights at Swedish Lilac was lovely. Fritz was so nice and the perfect host. The community of other campers was sweet and we made some friends that we really enjoyed talking with. The bathrooms were clean and the campground was quiet. It was perfect place for us to spend a few days this fall.
