Built in the 1930's all from locally sourced hand-hammered stone, the house is open every night from 5pm - 9pm.

You’ll have access to a composting pit toilet, and can access potable water from the tap in the lodge. That’s also where you can access hot showers.

No showers after 10 pm For meals, we have picnic tables, and you are encouraged to cook over the fire pits that accompany each site. Please practice Leave No Trace practices during your stay, as the property has raccoons and other critters who will be drawn to any food scraps that are left behind. Pets are allowed!

    This was a 55-acre farm, split in half to accommodate a bypass through Charlottesville, so the previous owners had to give up half the land, and actually moved the house down to the other half of the property! They had to build a land bridge to get to the new home site, so they turned the bridge into a dam and created a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo. My wife Stephanie and I bought the property in early 2017 and have turned it into a private horse farm, adding pastures, a riding ring, and 6-stall barn. There are ~21 horses who live on the property. The property is unique in that you can hardly see another house from anywhere on the property and yet we are only 2 miles from Barracks Rd. Shopping Center, and 4 miles from the University of Virginia.

    With 15 campsites, business class WIFI, over 1,000 feet of river frontage, Swedish Lilac Campground is the perfect getaway to reconnect with nature and relax with loved ones. Campsites accommodate RVs and tents with access to bath house, pavilion, dump station, and picnic areas, and is only a 20-minute drive to beautiful historic Lexington Virginia.

Enjoy being next to the river with the sound and energy of the rushing water. Beyond the river is the railroad track. The train runs sporadically throughout the day and night which adds a rhythmic clatter of times past. Some campers are annoyed while others view this as a plus while others don't even notice the noise from the trains. The riverside sites have a 4 to 6 foot drop to the river which may not be suitable for small children. Remote workers welcome! Fiber optic internet with Wi-Fi access points that cover the entire campground.

    Situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and bordering the Jefferson National Forest, Thunder BRidge has scenic, large, private tent sites and cabins in the woods for those who want to experience camping at its finest. Many of the sites border Elk Creek. Our RV sites are large, flat and at the edge of the forest in a well kept open green space. Our 100 acres was originally a camp built by the Civilian Conservation Corp in the "30s and early '40s, then a boys' juvenile detention center and Big Brothers'/Big Sisters' camp, which closed in 2009. The tent sites and cabins are in the forest, away from the buildings out front, but you're free to walk around and check out the historic site. Most of the buildings out front are artist studios (currently for 16 artists). We like to share the camp with others and watch it come back to life. All within a short driving distance are the Natural Bridge, wineries, breweries, Natural Bridge Zoo, Safari Park, Dinosaur Kingdom, Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway, James River, historic Lexington, Devil's Marbleyard, Glenwood Horse Trail, swimming holes, etc. We have river access 2 miles up the road if you'd like to fish or put your kayak or canoe in. Truly, there is something nearby for everyone. We'd be happy to give you recommendations of things to see and do. If you are a star gazer you won't be disappointed by our dark sky. We want to share our property with those who want to stay for more than one night, so we do not accept inquiries of single night stays.

We love to share this special place with visitors, and have some basic amenities for campers. The campsites are at the edge of a large pasture and just a few steps from the creek and our big swimmin' hole. Totally secluded in a remote valley - barely a house in sight (but our cabin is a short walk through the woods if you need something), no cell service for most providers, but within a short drive of Roanoke and Blacksburg, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.

    Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

    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.

    Enjoy peaceful seclusion with beautiful views, and endless outdoor fun: splash in the river, meet friendly goats and donkeys, rope swing into the river, explore with our paddle boat, adventure on the paddle boards, relax in a hammock, go fishing, or take a hike along the river. I purchased this home with the intent to turn it into a massive play ground for kiddos and kiddos at heart. We welcome anyone that embraces the spirit of play, levity, kindness and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Children 12 and under stay free and are not counted toward your guest total. Optional Rentals for a Small Fee: - Wood bundles for your fire pit ($10 per bundle) - Kids’ kayaks ($5/day) - Paddleboards ($10/day) We have three campsites on the property. Everyone has access to the river. If you are camping beside the river, please understand that it is a space accessible to all though there is plenty of space between campsites to have privacy. If you would like to reserve the entire space for yourself, please let us know ahead of time and we'll block the rest of campsites from being reserved, provided that they are not already reserved, for $100 extra per night. Parking: If I’m available, I’m happy to help haul your things to the river on the UTV. Park at the house and enjoy a 5-7-minute walk to the river. Friendly donkeys, a couple of goats, and our Aussie shepherd will likely say hello. While donkeys love people, they can be protective around unfamiliar dogs. We ask that all pups be leashed, but we leave it up to you if you think your doggo is good off-leash. If your dog is aggressive, this may not be the right fit. Please ensure the two gates you will go through are closed so the donkeys do not get out. Potty: We have an outhouse. We kindly ask that you use it only for #2s and that you place TP in a trash bag. This helps the decomposition process, keeps the smell down... future campers will thank you. Things to Do Nearby: ⁃ Shenandoah National Park - nearest entrance 25 minutes away ⁃ Rivanna River - right on the property ⁃ Blue Ridge Parkway ⁃ Wineries & Breweries - nearest winery only 1/2 mile from the house. Donkeys can be your DD (JK) ⁃ Downtown Charlottesville (also 25 minutes away)

    Savage Acres on Craig Creek

    7 sites · RVs, Tents120 acres · Catawba, VA
    In a remote valley just north of Roanoke VA, along the banks of Craig's Creek, the property includes mature hardwood forest, pasture, and an 1830s log cabin where we live. We love to share this special place with visitors, and have some basic amenities for campers. The campsites are at the edge of a large pasture and just a few steps from the creek and our big swimmin' hole. Totally secluded in a remote valley - barely a house in sight (but our cabin is a short walk through the woods if you need something), no cell service for most providers, but within a short drive of Roanoke and Blacksburg, and countless outdoor recreation opportunities.

    Beaverdam Falls

    4 sites · Lodging65 acres · Covington, VA
    Nestled on a private 65-acre farm in the Alleghany Highlands of Virginia, Beaverdam Falls is located on VA SR-311 (Kanawha Trail) in the Sweet Springs Valley. Nestled in the old community of Earlehurst, between Covington & Roanoke, Beaverdam Falls are an historic series of waterfalls on private property. The Falls are at the headwaters of Dunlap Creek and are the terminus for the Sweet Springs. Available for guest stays & recreation, are the Upper Falls portion. Surrounded by the verdant George Washington National Forest, the Upper Falls, displays a constant waterfall of around 40-feet in height, & decorates the final mile stretch of the Sweet Springs, both on our property. Additional beautiful cascades pepper our tract of Beaverdam Falls as well. This private tract of unparalleled Virginia countryside will simply astonish your expectations. As the source of the Falls, Sweet Springs Creek, serves as a long, unique home for trout, calcified travertine rock, chalybeate water, and ancient beaver dams (as well as active ones!). Beaverdam Falls is a rare place for the lack of stone and the centuries of beavers who have left their trace in & on our creek—and swamp, the Stick Marsh, which has an active beaver dam. Be careful! They do bite!

    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.

    Riverside Camping with Donkeys

    6 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Ruckersville, VA
    Enjoy peaceful seclusion with beautiful views, and endless outdoor fun: splash in the river, meet friendly goats and donkeys, rope swing into the river, explore with our paddle boat, adventure on the paddle boards, relax in a hammock, go fishing, or take a hike along the river. I purchased this home with the intent to turn it into a massive play ground for kiddos and kiddos at heart. We welcome anyone that embraces the spirit of play, levity, kindness and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Children 12 and under stay free and are not counted toward your guest total. Optional Rentals for a Small Fee: - Wood bundles for your fire pit ($10 per bundle) - Kids’ kayaks ($5/day) - Paddleboards ($10/day) We have three campsites on the property. Everyone has access to the river. If you are camping beside the river, please understand that it is a space accessible to all though there is plenty of space between campsites to have privacy. If you would like to reserve the entire space for yourself, please let us know ahead of time and we'll block the rest of campsites from being reserved, provided that they are not already reserved, for $100 extra per night. Parking: If I’m available, I’m happy to help haul your things to the river on the UTV. Park at the house and enjoy a 5-7-minute walk to the river. Friendly donkeys, a couple of goats, and our Aussie shepherd will likely say hello. While donkeys love people, they can be protective around unfamiliar dogs. We ask that all pups be leashed, but we leave it up to you if you think your doggo is good off-leash. If your dog is aggressive, this may not be the right fit. Please ensure the two gates you will go through are closed so the donkeys do not get out. Potty: We have an outhouse. We kindly ask that you use it only for #2s and that you place TP in a trash bag. This helps the decomposition process, keeps the smell down... future campers will thank you. Things to Do Nearby: ⁃ Shenandoah National Park - nearest entrance 25 minutes away ⁃ Rivanna River - right on the property ⁃ Blue Ridge Parkway ⁃ Wineries & Breweries - nearest winery only 1/2 mile from the house. Donkeys can be your DD (JK) ⁃ Downtown Charlottesville (also 25 minutes away)

    Great little spot, close to hiking and activities in the area. Clean and quaint, with surprisingly few of the "bitey" bugs you'd expect! I almost don't want to tell anyone about it, because I don't want word to get out. Would definitely stay again.

    I only stayed for one night, and the land was lovely. The owner was very sweet and helpful, the bathroom was clean and he even let us use the outdoor kitchen, which was really convenient. Seems like a good place to see some music when they have bands playing. The only thing to be aware of is the proximity to the road, which does have some cars and trucks driving throughout the night, so, if you are tent camping, expect to hear it! Otherwise, a very nice stop through a lovely area.

We felt like we were surrounded by our kind of people! We're already making some loose plans for a return trip this fall.

    This was our first campsite using our new class C camper. It was literally perfect. We were at site 13 and 14 (both were open this weekend so the owners offered that we could spread out a bit). Each site has electric and water hookups, a picnic table, fire pit and wood is provided if you want it. The campsite is situated along the South River. The river is a stones throw from the campsites. Also, the river is about 20-30 yards across depending on where you’re standing and shallow to about 2 feet deep, again depending on where you’re standing and rainfall etc. The river is gorgeous and easy to walk through, stand in, float on, sit in, etc. It’s definitely rocky and slippery but is 50-somethings had no trouble getting across, being careful. It’s so peaceful to listen to, we were down there for hours. The camp also has a pavilion with multiple picnic tables, a ping pong table (and paddles/balls) and charcoal grill. The bath house has showers and toilets and is super clean. The site is about a 30 minute drive to downtown Staunton, which is really cute (arts, antiques, breweries, etc). Finally, the owners were so nice and accommodating-we loved it and will definitely be coming back!

    We enjoyed our time here. The sites are well laid out and clean. Easily accessible but secluded. I don't think it's a great fit if swimming is a high priority for you, but we had a good time. Some moron took the wagon that is designated if you purchased fire wood and decided not to bring it back, so we had to lug it all in by hand but there are idiots everywhere you go, so no reflection on the site itself.

    Spacious Skies Shenandoah Views is a serene slice of heaven, conveniently located just 20 minutes off I-81, yet still peacefully rural nestled within farmland atop a hill in Luray, Virginia. Surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains with views all around and from our cabin rentals, our campground is close to the Luray Caverns, the famed Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, the Shenandoah River, and several Civil War sites. We offer both shady RV sites and open RV sites that can accommodate all sized RVs and trailers—we are big rig friendly! Each RV site includes a picnic table, fire ring, 30 or 50-amp electrical service, and sewer. We have deluxe patio sites and deluxe tent sites too! Our campground is in the heart of all that Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley has to offer. Hiking opportunities abound as Luray is the closest town to the Thornton Gap entrance of Shenandoah National Park, and is to the Skyline Drive, taking drivers along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains! The Luray Caverns, a national historic site, with it’s famous Great Stalacpipe Organ, are just a few minutes away, and tubing, canoeing, and white-water rafting adventure can be found at the nearby Shenandoah River. Museums and Civil War sites will feed your history-loving soul! Onsite we have a brand-new camp store! We also have a large pool and small pool, a gathering yurt for groups and an event pavilion, a playground, and a jumping pillow is in the works! We have two deluxe cabins and four deluxe yurts for more ways to appreciate the great outdoors with those additional creature comforts.

    North Fork River Retreat

    1 site · Tent7 acres · Strasburg, VA
    We have 7+ very private acres along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River, which has been in our family for over 50 years and where we currently live. You will arrive at our house, and the campsite is approximately 150 yds down the river trail. The campsite is completely private from our house. There’s great fishing, hiking, kayaking and canoeing from the property and also plenty more nearby. We’re only a few miles outside of Strasburg which offers great antique shops, dining, and a brewery with live music on weekends. Five night maximum permitted. We prefer that guests arrive before dark. **Note that the North Fork is a shallow river with a slate bottom. If you plan to wade, fish or swim in the river, you may want to bring some sturdy shoes to wear in the river.

    Riverside Camping with Donkeys

    6 sites · Lodging, Tents7 acres · Ruckersville, VA
    Enjoy peaceful seclusion with beautiful views, and endless outdoor fun: splash in the river, meet friendly goats and donkeys, rope swing into the river, explore with our paddle boat, adventure on the paddle boards, relax in a hammock, go fishing, or take a hike along the river. I purchased this home with the intent to turn it into a massive play ground for kiddos and kiddos at heart. We welcome anyone that embraces the spirit of play, levity, kindness and doesn't sweat the small stuff. Children 12 and under stay free and are not counted toward your guest total. Optional Rentals for a Small Fee: - Wood bundles for your fire pit ($10 per bundle) - Kids’ kayaks ($5/day) - Paddleboards ($10/day) We have three campsites on the property. Everyone has access to the river. If you are camping beside the river, please understand that it is a space accessible to all though there is plenty of space between campsites to have privacy. If you would like to reserve the entire space for yourself, please let us know ahead of time and we'll block the rest of campsites from being reserved, provided that they are not already reserved, for $100 extra per night. Parking: If I’m available, I’m happy to help haul your things to the river on the UTV. Park at the house and enjoy a 5-7-minute walk to the river. Friendly donkeys, a couple of goats, and our Aussie shepherd will likely say hello. While donkeys love people, they can be protective around unfamiliar dogs. We ask that all pups be leashed, but we leave it up to you if you think your doggo is good off-leash. If your dog is aggressive, this may not be the right fit. Please ensure the two gates you will go through are closed so the donkeys do not get out. Potty: We have an outhouse. We kindly ask that you use it only for #2s and that you place TP in a trash bag. This helps the decomposition process, keeps the smell down... future campers will thank you. Things to Do Nearby: ⁃ Shenandoah National Park - nearest entrance 25 minutes away ⁃ Rivanna River - right on the property ⁃ Blue Ridge Parkway ⁃ Wineries & Breweries - nearest winery only 1/2 mile from the house. Donkeys can be your DD (JK) ⁃ Downtown Charlottesville (also 25 minutes away)

    NOTICE: Some campers are having navigational problems with their phone’s GPS feature. Having a paper roadmap available for a backup is recommended . 9337 Bridgeport Rd, Arvonia Va.23004. NOTE:We have changed things a bit. We are going with only 2 sites this year. Site 1 is no longer available. Turn at the aluminum canoe placed on top of a large orange road barrier at the edge of our drive way. The canoe is bolding displaying the word HIPCAMP with a red arrow leading the way. Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. Bateau boats pass by both campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are manned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting. Go by a local store and buy night crawlers,worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something . Firewood available per request and delivered for$30.00 a load. Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Your site is approximately 2 acres, so you will have your choice of where to pitch a tent or place your camper or trailer. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night. Safety Notice: Not accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak when the James River level is 6 feet or higher at Scottsville. At 7.5 - 8 feet, there is not much beach to play on and the river is too dangerous to navigate. You can drive in and camp, but please stay clear of all water activities, including fishing, in these dangerous conditions.

    Camping in Virginia guide

    Overview

    Whether you want to dive into Civil War history, follow in the footsteps of former presidents, or drive the legendary Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia rarely disappoints. The birthplace of America has thousands of miles of Atlantic coastline and more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state. Still need convincing? Virginia’s 41 state parks boast more than 600 miles of trails and 1,800 state campsites, leading the way to forested mountains, rambling rivers, and beaches. Camping is a year-round affair, whether you prefer fall foliage hikes, pitching a tent on the beach, or snowshoeing from a cozy winter cabin. 

    Where to go

    Central Virginia

    Gleaming lakes and pine-clad foothills characterize the central Piedmont region, known for its lakeside camping, canoe and kayak trails, and Civil War sites. Pocahontas State Park is just a half-hour drive from the state capital, Richmond, where multi-use trails are popular for biking and horseback riding. Also within a short drive, Bear Creek Lake State Park offers easy access to Cumberland State Forest trails, while James River State Park has RV, tent, and canoe-in campsites.

    Atlantic Coast & Chesapeake Bay

    Wide beaches and fishing villages pepper the coast of Chesapeake Bay, Virginia’s top choice for beach lovers. You can pitch your tent right on the beach at First Landing State Park and False Cape State Park, camp on the grounds of Chippokes Plantation State Park, or get on the water at York River State Park.

    Shenandoah Valley & The North

    The dense woodlands are the star attraction in Shenandoah National Park and along its renowned Skyline Drive. The closest state campgrounds can be found in Shenandoah River State Park, a popular spot for summer hiking, canoeing, and picnicking, while further south, Douthat State Park has a swimming beach, waterfall hikes, and mountain biking trails.

    Appalachian & Blue Ridge Mountains

    The rugged Appalachian Mountains fringe Virginia’s southwestern borders, merging into the wooded slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Grayson Highlands State Park is the gateway to the region’s two most popular hikes: the Appalachian Trail and Mount Rogers. Alternatively, paddle the scenic waterways of New River Trail State Park, book a cabin in the woods in Hungry Mother State Park, or escape the crowds at Clinch River State Park.
