Blackwater Birds and Bees, Virginia

Come visit the farm and stay with us! We have primitive tent camping, RV sites, and a cozy little cabin. 

Blackwater Birds and Bees is a developing farm that started in 2016. If you're looking for privacy, you won't find a better place in Southeastern Virginia. It's 110 acres on the Blackwater River with access to over 2 miles of waterfront without leaving the property. The river is much like a cypress swamp with large channels running through the middle and it creates a perfect environment for all kinds of spectacular wildlife. We have kayaks and canoes available for campers to use for free and a Jon boat with trolling motor available for rent. Fishing is permitted in our 10 acre pond and on the river. The farm currently features an apiary, a peach orchard, vegetable garden, blueberry bushes, and animals including ducks, chickens, geese, and goats. 

The cabin features a full-size bed complete with linens/bedding as well as a sleeping loft for 2 additional guests. While the cabin does not have electricity or plumbing, it does have battery operated lights and an outhouse with a camp toilet on site for the convenience of cabin guests. 

*If you are bringing a large camper or RV please pick site #3 or site #2.*Site #4 is about 75 yards into the woods away from the parking space.* Site #3 has an available alternative site for anyone who would prefer to be unseen from the path. Firewood is available. $10/bundle. We are now offering beekeeping classes and edible wild plant tours for guests!
