We loved our stay!
Tent · With pets
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.

Perfect R & R place!

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.

Quiet & peaceful spot on the river
Tent
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.

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!

Ruff-in It at the River
Tent · With pets
My boyfriend and our 2 dogs absolutely loved staying at Terry's place. Found a couple ways to access the river where we spent most of our time. The large firepit, free firewood and large canopy was a nice feature and benefit. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and a nice short hike nearby to a waterfall. Having the freedom and isolation was exactly what we wanted.
Thank you, Terry!

Beautiful experience
Tent
I loved camping on Terry’s land. The views were beautiful, and there was a river really close. I got to chop some wood, which was fun! This was an amazing and ideal first time camping experience for my nephew. My nephew and I wanted to go fishing. When Terry heard it was our first time, he offered to teach us. Terry provided us fishing rods and taught us how to fish on his property. My nephew even caught a fish for the first time. Thank you, Terry, for helping us have fun and make lifelong unforgettable memories! Terry also checked on us to see if we were okay and if we needed anything. I really recommend this site! You’re the best, Terry

Very beautiful spot! Right by the river, secluded, with a gorgeous misty view of the mountains in the morning. And the covered area was perfect for the summer rainstorm.

Terry’s place was phenomenal! We had the absolute best time playing in the river and watching the sunset every night. We cannot wait to come back!! The privacy made us feel like we were in our own little bubble—we can not recommend enough!

Terry's farm is truly a special place! We didn't get in until after dark our first night and Terry had a fire lit, waiting for us. You get the site all to yourself and it was perfect for our dog and small group, but would be great for a larger group, as well. We're excited to come back with our friends and family!

Safari !
6 m travel trailer
We loved our stay here. Very quiet and secluded. The river is just steps away and very scenic. Our dogs loved it too, being off leash. The road into the site is part of the fun. Like a little safari! We got our 20’ travel trailer in, no problem. The host, Terry stopped by to see if we needed anything. He was a great host. We stayed just one night, passing thru on our journey north. We plan to come back sometime soon, and stay several days and try some hikes in the national forest nearby .

Great Property
Tent · With pets
Terry’s campsite is awesome and he is very helpful regarding tips about the surrounding area. The site is very secluded, shaded and sun, right on a beautiful stretch of the river. The covered pavilion is great. And the location is very central to access on the Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers. Conveniences are also just a short drive if necessary. Kroger and CVS 10 min. 5 star host and property.

I always enjoy my time at Terry’s. It’s a safe place to leave your camp while you are exploring.
Sadly, this trip didn’t pan out because of technical difficulties but Terry was ready and willing to helping. I’ll be back again, soon.

Camping in a farm by the river
Tent · With kids
This is an excellent camping spot between corn fields and a big river. It has a nicely shaded camping area under big trees. It has swings and ropes for climbing trees. There is a huge fire pit and there are many picnic tables nearby it. There are many places where you can set up your tent. This is a place where you can go with several friends and have fun together. Although we went there as a single family with small kids we felt quite secure. At night the view of the stars is amazing.

This is a fantastic spot to camp!!! Perfect shade amongst the trees right along the river but still beautiful mountain views off in the distance. The picnic shelter is great and the site is well maintained and mowed. We will definitely return!

My favorite!
3 m travel trailer
I’ve been to a bunch of different Hipcamp sites and this is probably my favorite. Very private and secluded and super peaceful. Views of the water plus you have a big site with picnic tables and there is wood available. Lots of places to park, but I wouldn’t bring a really big rig back there. I had a smaller 15 foot trailer and a jeep and it was easy to get back there. I will definitely come back!

We just got back from an amazing weekend at the river and we brought all five of our dogs!!! LOL… they absolutely loved swimming! The water was nice and refreshing. The shade was perfect, making it cooler and allowing the sun to hit us only when we needed it, like when we were in the river. We’re definitely making this a regular spot. Can’t wait to go back!

Camping with a 6yr old :)
Tent · With kids
I absolutely loved camping here! It was peaceful secluded, and beautiful, right on the water. Great place for a family to hang out and enjoy the water. The river isnt that deep so it was perfect for our 6 yr old to play in without a worry. Hope to come again in the future!!! Would definitely recommend!
