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!

Enjoy rustic charm with a splash of modern comfort in our cheerfully renovated RV—still rocking its 1999 disguise on the outside, but don’t be fooled! Inside, it’s glamping magic: bright, cozy, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some).
Whip up meals with our charcoal grill, griddle, or two-burner stove—inside or out. You’ll find dishes, utensils, seasonings, blankets, board games, and even complimentary coffee (best enjoyed with a curious chicken nearby).
Nestled on our 6-acre homestead, this peaceful escape offers sunrise views, star-filled skies, and a fire pit, swing, and table for relaxing outdoors.
Want more adventure? We’re just 15 minutes from Williamsburg. We are also fortunate enough to have many parks and outdoor activities to choose from. We're only 12 minutes from York River State Park, which has a gorgeous river shoreline. The York River is known for its rare and delicate environment, where freshwater and saltwater meet to create a habitat rich in marine and plant life. You can hike, bike, kayak, raft, and more. They even hold classes on fossils!🦴
You can also meet our goats and geese, and we sometimes have fresh eggs for sale—just ask! 🐐🥚
All you have to bring is yourself (well and maybe some snacks)!

It gives me much satisfaction in working to clean up this land. I appreciate your support by staying here, and I look forward to the opportunity to offer memories that can be remembered with fondness. While staying here, you may use my bathroom in my house if you need. I recommend bringing all the things you would bring if you were camping in the woods far from society. However, I do have a tent for two, including mattress pads and sleeping bags you may use. Otherwise, this is a relatively primative site (for now 😉).

Weekend Trip to Private Farm House w lake
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. We can’t wait to come back! ❤️

Wisteria is such a cute site. Our family of 5 was looking for somewhere to watch the Perseid meteor shower & the open field next to the cabin was perfect. Ian quickly fixed the shower when the water was running low, and being just down the road from the beach was nice. We’d definitely camp here again!

The site is definitely primitive, but that’s part of its charm. Everything felt simple, quiet, and connected to nature. We really enjoyed our time here and would happily stay again.

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 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!

It's a peaceful natural oasis that still has civilization nearby. We spent most of our time in the water, and exploring up and down the James River. The memories made on this trip will last a lifetime and we'll be back to make more. Thank you Andy!

Had a great time with my kids at the stargazer mini cabin. I used to be an avid tent camper before kids and this has a nice blend of being outdoors while still having your basic amenities. I only stayed one night but we were able to enjoy all the classics like hotdogs and s’mores over an open fire but then could go inside and watch a movie on the projector. Took a peak at the other sites as well and may try to come back this fall. Also the host was great, simple instructions and very responsive.
