Amazing set up for camping. The views are fantastic from every direction, the fire pit is perfect for larger fires and cooking. My dog loved running around and smelling everything. Can't wait to come back!

Camping in the shade on the river
Loved everything about Terry's place. The view is absolutely beautiful, loved the covered pavilion and huge fire pit. Terry showed up with a truck load of wood soon after we arrived. We kept the fire going night and day as it got pretty chilly at night. My grandson loved the rope swing. Easy access to the river. We are already planning our next trip!!

Beautiful! Loved being on the James River — my dogs loved playing in the water and husband caught a bass. Just as described, easy to find.

Our group had a great weekend camping in Terry's land. It is a very secluded spot and the pavilion is a nice amenity to have a long with the fire pit. Highly likely we will return.

Camping in the shade on the river
We loved camping on Terry’s land! Our sprinter van fit perfectly and the covered area and fire pit were awesome. The views and scenery across the fields and down by the river were so beautiful. The freedom the dogs had at this completely private site was second to none.

Camping in the shade on the river
This is a spot we will definitely come back to! There is so much space which was great for all of our dogs. It was private and quiet. We liked being right next to the river to fish, let the dogs swim or just hangout while drinking our morning coffee. We enjoyed walking our dogs on the mowed paths throughout the area. 10/10 recommend spending sometime here!

Camping in the shade on the river
Fantastic spot with mountain views, huge fire pit with plenty of wood to burn, great river access, and a covered pavillion with plenty of picnic tables and space in case of rain. There is a rope swing that the kids couldnt get enough of as well!
We will definitely be back again!

What can we say but A+, 5 Star, the Best! For us, a picnic table at a campsite is a plus. This site has at least 4, under a metal roof!!! Private, quiet, shady and beautiful. Watched a Bald Eagle grab breakfast out of the river. We've already re-booked.

This is an amazing location with great seclusion, privacy and provides peacefulness away from daily distractions.
There is plenty of room for setup and the covered shelter is an added bonus.
Access to and from the river is made easy with a well maintained pathway.
Terry is a great and generous host and he made sure we had everything we needed.

My 9 year old and I loved tent camping on Terry’s land. The landscape is beautiful with the mountains to the west and the James river right at camp. It was wonderful to splash in the river with my daughter. We had some rainstorms and the large shelter house was a great spot to hangout to wait out the rain. My daughter loved the rope swing. Terry has a great spot for families.

Awesome campsite with beautiful views. Great to have a private spot where we could cool off in the river on hot days. Also close to Douthat State Park and Roaring Run loop trail. The river was high the first day we arrived after a rainy week, but went down after 2 days and was perfect to splash in. Having firewood available was also a really nice bonus.

Such a great camping spot! Staying right next to the River was awesome. The views, nothing short of amazing. From the double person swing chair, the wooden swing another rope and the bathroom, everything for a wonderful experience!! Loved it! The river got pretty high and we weren’t able to sit our chairs in the water but we tried to fish, no luck!! Great spot, would definitely come back with my kayaks or tubes!

Camping in the shade on the river
Camping on Terry’s property was a joy! It was a perfect, relaxing camp and was nestled at a beautiful and private location. As others have mentioned, we also found Terry to be a professional, kind, and generous host — bringing us firewood for our stay and going out of his way to help when our car broke down. We will definitely be visiting again!!

Absolutely beautiful spot with so many amenities! Port-o-potty, rope swings, river that is shallow enough and gentle enough for the kids to play in, huge fire pit and extra large picnic area.
Stunning views and the dogs had the best time running around!

Terry's Land had tons of space for multiple tents and a large fire pit with plenty of wood for you to burn. The site is super close to the river, which has easy access. I would recommend camping here and will be back soon.

Terry’s place was just what we needed! It’s beautiful, quiet, and set up perfect for whatever you need. Very peaceful! Our camper is 21’ and we had plenty of space, multiple options. The covered pavilion is an added bonus, and the campfire setup is perfect! We will definitely return!

Beautiful site & views! Nice to have a pavilion, picnic tables, firewood & a huge fire pit! Wasn’t clear to us beforehand that the river is down a small hill from the site.

I loved tent camping on Terry’s land. With views of the mountains and the location right on the banks of the James River, what more could you ask for? The Virginia bluebells and other wildflowers were in bloom. It was great having a shelter house for meals and the fire pit is very large. I woke up one morning to the sound of wild turkey! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Terry was kind, responsive and brought over plenty of wood for the long weekend. What a beautiful place to stay.

Camping in the shade on the river
This was our second stay at Terry’s place and it was just as great as the first time. The campsite is well maintained and offers beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountain- a peaceful and scenic spot. The picnic area with shelter is a huge plus, especially if the weather turns. There’s also plenty of extra firewood available if you run low. It’s a great spot for kids, with a swing and access to fishing that kept them entertained for hours. All around, a wonderful and relaxing place to camp. We’ll definitely be back!

Awesome spot! Very secluded and great access to the river. Fire wood on site for FREE! Terry stopped in the first day to make sure we had everything we needed and was very welcoming. We will definitely be picking this spot again.

Terry is by far the best host we’ve had on Hip Camp. We were in a bind, so scheduled a last minute visit. While driving down, we were able to meet him in person by chance and he happened to be the nicest guy around. The property/campsite is BEAUTIFUL, well maintained, and has precut wood and a fire ring. As if the site wasn’t amazing enough, Terry gave us lots of tips on what to do in the area for what we were looking for. We’ll be back for sure! Thanks Terry!
