Carolzy’s Secret Gardens

Twenty plus years ago, there was an ad in the paper listing ten acres for sale in Old Church. It has always been a special place and so the adventure began... We built the house and ever since, have been adding gardens, paths, trails, benches, swings and generally giving back the love to the land for the pleasure it has provided. As a result, there is wildlife and birds galore. Hummingbirds will delight you as will the tree frogs and lizard frogs at the frog pond canoe. Wander down the path to our first vegetable garden location which is now a prime spot for pitching a tent or just hanging out and watching for deer, turkeys, or turtles. Depending on the season, you can enjoy blooming azaleas, coneflowers, crepe myrtles or zinnias. This is a super woodland that will give you every opportunity to relax and wonder at the beauty of nature. The RV site is close to the house and we will be right here should you need us.

The main house (which Carol also rents out as an airbnb)!

The second campsite just a short ride through the woods away from the main house

Carol was kind enough to pose for a photo!

Carol's place is a certified Monarch way-station! 

Each campsite was equipped with chairs, a fire pit and trash can

Reservation Camping on the Water!

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,&nbsp;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&nbsp;part of so many creatures all in their natural habitat.

We live right up the hill.&nbsp; Depending on where your tent is located, you may or may not see our home.&nbsp; Usually you cannot but want you to be aware.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Please note that hunting season starts in October, and you may hear the noise.

Picnic table to use for eating and watching the view.

Short distance trail to your camping site.

Outside shower can be used per person at $8.00.

Inside the outside shower.  Hot and cold water.  River rocks stones for reflexology.  Will sooth aching feet after a long day.  

Another beautiful sunset at your camping site!

City Camp on Reedy Creek

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&nbsp;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,&nbsp;a picnic table, and a hammock. There is a shared outbuilding with a composting toilet, hand washing sink, outdoor shower (solar warmed),&nbsp;and space to change privately.&nbsp;

Campsite W ~&nbsp;

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&nbsp;are about 80' apart. Both are around 100' to the creek. The spots&nbsp;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*&nbsp;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&nbsp;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.

Site W includes 2 leveled tent spaces, a picnic table, an extra table and chairs, a fire pit, and a hammock!

~ Campsite E (2) ~

Tent footprint: 15'x16'
Total space: 40'x20'

There is one parking space that backs up to this site.

There is an extra tent space adjacent to site E which can be reserved for an extra $20 a night. Contact us directly to reserve.

Shared restroom w/ composting toilet, hand washing sink, and privacy.

Restroom w/ composting toilet, hand washing sink, and privacy!
