We had a fantastic time! Loved the seclusion of this spot. We will definitely re-book.

This is such a wonderful spot and Gregory is an incredible host. The site itself was so spacious and shady with an incredible view of the river. The port-a-potty had been freshly cleaned before we arrived. Gregory brought us tubes to use on the river and we had fun swimming off the dock. When it was time to leave one person in our group had a flat tire and Gregory brought down a compressor to get them aired up. He truly went above and beyond to make our trip great. We will absolutely be back to this spot again!

10000% will be going back! Greg was super nice. He provided firewood which a huge plus. The portapotty was probably the cleanest portapotty I've ever seen. So close to the river and the floating dock was amazing!! 10/10!!!

Owls at night were enchanting. The sky is gorgeous at night. Water & dock were ideal. Peace of heaven on earth.

This is our family's third time renting Orphans Island. We love that we can rent the spot and have the privacy to be as crazy as we are. Greg does a great job keeping things clean and updated. He is super helpful and easy to get a hold of if you have questions. We will definitely be coming back again!

This was my first experience with Hipcamp and I truly enjoyed my time there. Greg is a great host, the bathroom was kept clean during our 4 day trip. This was the first girl’s camping trip I took with my best friend where it was just the two of us and we had a blast the entire time. There was plenty of shade, a pretty big fire pit, and tons of privacy. When the sun was too much, we grabbed our river tube and headed to the private dock off of the James river. The water was clear and the surroundings and wildlife was unforgettable. Despite the rain, our campsite stayed dry and we didn’t get bogged down in a ton of mud. It was easier than I thought it would be to find the camp itself and there is a Dollar General about 15 minutes away, so it was convenient. We will definitely be back to do a couple’s camping trip very soon. I am pleased that there is an app like this for people who want to camp more privately. It was a great experience all the way around.

We all loved this spot! The host (Gregory) and his wife were so kind and if we needed anything they would accommodate to that. He made sure we were stocked up on fire wood, helped blow up our air mattresses and even brought us some fishing poles, bait and some floaties. The only bad thing I have to say is that the current in the river was a little strong but we still had a good time!

Was a beautiful campsite. and very private . Greg met us to make sure we had all we needed. He later returned with more firewood. The outdoor facility was very clean. We definitely will be returning.

Camping here was great. There is plenty of room for tents and towables. The view of the James River is fantastic along with the floating deck you can relax on. Mr. Greg was very nice and courteous, and non-intrusive. The road there can get a little muddy, if it's wet you'll probably want to use 4wd to not tear up the road.

Great host! We've been here many times and it is always great. The dock is very relaxing, the portable toilet is very clean, and he always makes sure there is enough firewood.

We loved this campsite, Greg was an amazing host, we had some issues of our own and he was so accommodating and helpful with what we had going on. The river was so refreshing, and peaceful. Would highly recommend staying here, we can't wait to book again with Greg.

A basic, no frills, campsite. But the bathroom was clean, the host was kind and accommodating, there was lots of space to run around, and the river view was wonderful. Playing and swimming in the river and having it almost completely to ourselves was the best! Greg even brought down an extra inner tube for our little girl to play in.
