Stories from the community

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

What a lovely lil site…private, yet close to everything we wanted to do in Richmond. This is our camping place from now on when we return to the area! The compost toilet house and outdoor shower are extras that make primitive camping doable. You won’t regret a stay here!

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

Loved it! 10/10. All though the site was in “the city” it felt like we were miles and miles away. As well as the other camp site being directly other side of the outhouse- it felt very secluded. They have bamboo fences in all the right places to create more privacy. The river was amazing, we walked it all the way down to the James River and back. The outhouse was extremely well kept. Cute coffee place just a 5 minute walk from the site, everything you need right around you! Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

Such a great glamping site! Composting toilet, firewood and starters provided, a little hiking trail and stream, everything you could ask for. 10/10 :)

Weekend Trip to Cornerstone Farm

What a GREAT spot! The directions were spot on. The hosts were great. Greeting me and making sure I had everything I needed and replied to messages quickly. It was very quiet and lovely. I brought bug spray, but they were too bad. Except, I did find a tick on me. So be careful. Nothing can be done about that. I WILL be back to the fabulous spot. Thank you Hosts for making a perfect place for me to pitch my tent.

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

This place is a true gem. Access to the creek is perfect for relaxing

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

Talk about a hidden gem!!! I am still astonished that this campground was in Richmond! It looks like you are out camping in the mountains somewhere. The spot is next to a huge nature park, surrounded by lovely woods and a picturesque creek. It is clean, well maintained, and secluded. Someone else was in the other site, but I never saw them. The owner came to say hello once and was very friendly. There is a reason that this place is rated as one of the top sites in the state. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Carolzy’s Secret Gardens

I needed a break from the big city and Carol’s spot was just the right place. I couldn’t have asked for a better host. I hope to make another visit in the future.

Weekend Trip to Moonrise Farmstead

Had a wonderful stay, super quiet and set back from the road

Weekend Trip to The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest

I stayed at the Trilogy site. I stayed in my own tent, but there is a suspended tent available on site. It also had a picnic table, fire, pit, and outdoor shower. I hiked around the property and took part in the axe throwing board. That was a lot of fun. I drove down the road a mile to the beach and did some fishing and came back to the site that evening to cook dinner and hang out around the fire. Ian is a great host. He included firewood and farm fresh eggs for me. I used one of the eggs to put on my burger that I cooked that evening. You can’t see anyone on the other sites from where you are at, you can at times hear some of the other people in the distance, but I was surrounded by good people in a safe area. I would recommend the site to anyone doing a solo camp, family camp, or other group camp. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💯

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

Camp was amazing! Very peaceful and beautiful. Love that there was a bathroom, shower, and water access. Ricky Bobby was an extra added bonus. 😂 Isabella was extremely flexible with us especially since we were hoping to stay Friday and Saturday night but Friday was booked up. We were able to communicate and due to a last minute cancellation, we were able to stay both nights. 110% would recommend staying at this site!!

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

This is an amazing oasis. Thank you for the stay. We would definitely rebook when in the area!

Weekend Trip to The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest

This place has all the creature features but still seems somewhat off grid and magical all the same time. Will be back!!

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

Everything was perfect except the rain but, noone can change that!! The site was thoughtfully laid out and very private. Everything you need is there, kindling, dry firewood, and the rocks by the creek are the perfect place to sit and meditate. Very calming.

1 night at City Camp on Reedy Creek

I loved how close it was to the city but completely quiet and peaceful away from it. Definitely will be back

Weekend Trip to Cornerstone Farm

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful and relaxing. Had a great stay. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful. So glad I bought the eggs. Delicious! I look forward to going back.

Weekend Trip to Cornerstone Farm

Excellent spot. Very quiet and green. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. Fresh eggs were fantastic!

Weekend Trip to The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest

Had a great time would definitely recommend staying the land is great and the occasional guinea at your front door never gets old the beach access is also amazing nice and secluded and plenty of space to bring a pet and have a fun stay

Weekend Trip to The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest

The treehouse was so cozy , especially at night with the fairy lights. It had everything we needed for a relaxing camping trip and plenty of land for my dog to walk around. Would definitely come back & Ian was very helpful!

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

Super mellow spot right in the city next to the woods (end of a street with a park next to it) it’s ideal. Peaceful despite being close to everything. Would stay again if I’m heading south in the future for sure!

Weekend Trip to City Camp on Reedy Creek

This hipcamp was utterly charming. We came to Richmond for our grandson‘s college graduation and did not expect such a lovely little camping area in the middle of the city. It was quiet, our area was small, but private with everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend this hip camp for anyone looking for a quiet place to camp smack in the middle of a big city.

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.
