Labyrinth, Trails and Solitude

11 sites · RVs, Tents116 acres · Orange , Orange
116 acres of hills and dells. Miles of hiking trails marked and well maintained. A small pond and beautiful labyrinth. Over 50 acres of deep wilderness woods. General Lee and his troops once camped here. But they cleaned up pretty good, so all you can really see is the old spring and wagon road. This is a working herb and small fruit farm. We have been experimenting with all kinds of exotic herbs and trees. Some make it, many don't. We sell dried herb teas. In addition we have 5 different kinds of bamboo. We use the bamboo for so many things. In the 5 people per site we are considering adults, not children... bring a whole crew of kids (try to have enough supervision - if there is such a concept!) The kids have such a great time out here... it is amazing. They love the labyrinth! It seems like we made this place for the kids in ourselves and when actual kids see it they go wild. The last bunch were running and yelping with their picked flowers all round and round in the labyrinth for hours! Also, if you want peace and quiet - and we have children booked - we will put you out at one beautiful remote campsites away from all the kids running and singing.

Camping near Virginia Beach guide

Steeped in US history and storied landscapes, Virginia is as patriotic as it is outdoorsy. This state boasts thousands of miles of Atlantic coastline, 22 national parks, 41 Virginia state parks, and more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state. Plus, you can tour Civil War battlefields, walk in the footsteps of former presidents, and hop over to Washington DC on a day trip. Virginia’s mild climate is ideal for a camping trip, whether it’s a beachside getaway, fall foliage walks in the Blue Ridge Mountains, or booking a cozy cabin to hit the ski slopes in winter. 

Where to Go

Central Virginia

The state capital, Richmond, is the gateway to the central Piedmont region, where pine-clad foothills tumble down to the James River. Historic sites and Civil War trails dot Richmond and Petersburg, while Pocahontas State Park has miles of trails as well as kayak and paddleboat rentals on the lake. Some of the area’s best camping spots are in Bear Creek Lake State Park and James River State Park, where you can choose from tent camping, RV sites with electric hookups, and camper cabins. 

Atlantic Coast & Chesapeake Bay 

With its golden beaches, coastal towns, and George Washington Birthplace National Monument, Chesapeake Bay is top of the list for travelers touring Virginia. Explore the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestowne, and Yorktown, then head to First Landing State Park, just north of Virginia Beach, for a beach camping experience. To escape the crowds, there’s primitive beach camping at False Cape State Park, or you can drive the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to the Eastern Shore’s family camp resorts.

Shenandoah Valley & The North

Sloping woodlands stretch down through the Shenandoah Valley, providing spectacular views for road-trippers along Skyline Drive, part of the famous Blue Ridge Parkway. The headline act is Shenandoah National Park, where you’ll find the region’s best hiking, biking, and horseback riding, as well as great backcountry camping. Inland, Lake Anna State Park, just outside of Charlottesville, and Douthat State Park, near Lexington, both have popular park campgrounds. 

Appalachian & Blue Ridge Mountains

The mighty Appalachian Mountains hug the borders of southwestern Virginia, giving way to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Some of Virginia’s most scenic hiking trails are found here, including a portion of the Appalachian Trail, and the state’s highest peak, Mount Rogers. Nearby, Grayson Highlands State Park has developed and primitive campgrounds, plus yurts and cabins, while New River Trail State Park is a hot spot for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing.
