Another great week in the meadow! After a stormy evening all the wild flowers popped up and got to relax by a fire with splashes of color all around ^_^

This HipCamp was perfect for me as I migrated from Florida to Maine. Clean. Quiet. I was met by the gracious host that directed me to the open field. Though I didn’t use the cut wood and clean fire ring it was a welcoming sign. Double thumbs up!

You will be disappointed if you are seeking peace and quiet, and want to commune with nature. This site is just a bare-bones empty field in a suburb of Richmond, not far from I-95. The dull roar of traffic is audible at all times, punctuated by frequent trains on the nearby tracks. The drive to get there is charmingly rural, but beware the sounds of "civilization" so nearby. If you do opt to use this site, be sure to bring earplugs.
Also, the paths that are supposed to be a selling point were infested with four-foot tall weeds, and the site itself would have benefitted from a close mowing in order to eliminate any vegetation tall enough to brush against the skin; ticks and chiggers are everywhere. The "firepit" is half of a rusty 55 gallon drum, and a couple of disintegrating plastic buckets adorn the edges of the site, which create a mildly trashy ambience.
If you're in a camper van, and you don't mind continual background noise from cars and trains, then you probably would not be too unhappy here.

Awesome little clearing after beautiful drive through fields on a cedar lined well maintained gravel road that winds past historic houses and tasteful modern properties with towering ivy covered trees filtering the sunlight into a pleasant green haze. The clearing has plenty of space for glamping tent setup or a Durston hiking tent even both! Close enough to I-95 to get 5G to watch the Padres in a little bit of a slump on their east coast tour with no glitches or lag. The town is close enough for anything you forgot or to grab a tallboy at the end of a warehouse shift and just don't wanna cook or anything beyond watch the fire in the firepit and have a beer, can confirm, twice this stay xD. Lots of wildlife and soothing wind through the trees sounds. There is some highway noise but never got beyond a hum and not intrusive. Likewise there are active train tracks nearby but it is Amtrack not cargo and is a 90sec wooooosh. Looking forward to staying again ^_^

This stay is PERFECT. Very private, fun little trails to explore, and access to CSX/Amtrak rails, which was a huge plus for me as a train enthusiast. The site itself is easy to stay on because it is level and well-manicured, though it still feels wonderfully primitive. I really enjoyed the peace of my stay here.

Fantastic and private spot. Loved the contactless check in and the trains. Our pup loved all the open grass. Beautiful spot. Thank you for sharing your space.

I loved our stay on Katherine’s land! Though the site is near the main house, it is secluded. There are very active train tracks near by, but that personally didn’t bother me. If you are someone who is not used to train activity, it may be something you want to consider though.

Really great spot, and easy to find. Hiking paths right from the campsite😊 there is a train nearby as a heads up. It didn’t bother us though.

Large, very private spot. Lots of well kept trails to explore around the camp. My dog really enjoyed our walkabouts. The site was clean and well maintained. Grass covered the entire camp area which would make it totally fine even if the weather turned rainy. You can hear the highway and train but they were not bothersome at all. I would/will stay here again.

this spot is spotless and perfectly tucked away, you’ll feel like you’ve got the whole place to yourself. A few peaceful trails wind through the area, ideal for quiet walks or morning coffee strolls. If you don’t mind the occasional train rolling by, it actually adds to the charm — great spot to kick back by the fire and enjoy the view.

Great campsite, easy to communicate with, beautiful location. Near train track (far enough way so not a worry with kids), so you hear it every now and then, but didn't bother. Good little exploration trails for kids. Overall 10/10, would come back.

My second time staying at this great spot for overnight camping. Listen to the trains pass by and enjoy the trails around the property. Recommended! 👍

I had an enjoyable 1-night stay here on my way further south. The campsite is private and tucked away from the property owners’ home. My low to the ground, 2WD minivan handled the mostly flat gravel road just fine and the field was easily drivable.
There is regular noise from a nearby road and a pretty consistently passing train, but neither were loud enough to wake me from my sleep and were tolerable for an overnight, passing stay. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a private location to park/camp overnight that’s still close to stores and the highway.
I arrived at dusk, following the straightforward instructions provided, navigated easily to the site, and had no need to contact the host during my stay.

We had a lovely time! Campsite was in a quiet meadow that was very well-kept. Some muscadine (?) grape vines grew there, so be mindful if your dog is a grazer like ours are. We found a few seed ticks after walking in the woods, but very par for the course. Even though their house is relatively nearby, we felt totally private.

Pros: Nice open level area that felt secluded and private. Plenty of room for our camper! Had a fun time playing Bucket Golf!
Con: Lots of ticks! Went for a short excursion to check out the trails and came back covered in them. Still picking them off our dogs. Plan and dress accordingly.

I had a very nice night tent camping at Bonny Biggin. The site is large and directions were easy to follow. I could hear the highway and some train noise but neither were disruptively loud. Overall, this was a great site for me.

I loved this quiet and secluded campsite. It was easy to get to, but there's a gravel road, so plan to go slow or bring your 4x4. I had plenty of space to pitch my 10x10 tent, and the ground was fairly level. It was raining, so I didn't get to explore, but I will be back for that soon.

I’ve camped here more than anywhere! Site is very private and although you’re only a few minutes from anything you need(groceries, food) it feels like you’re in the wild! Stream is great on warm days and there’s plenty of shade and open ground! The passing trains are soothing ( no train whistles) and are far enough away to not be bothersome. Simple, clean, local at a reasonable price! Highly recommend! I’ll definitely be back myself!

Large plot of land for camping. You can put a tent on any spot you choose. Already a fire pit on site if needed. Multiple trails for hiking and to view the train coming by. Accessible by car.
