Wendy’s land was a great place to stay. We only stopped overnight while passing thru, but the sites were clean, private, and spacious. We arrived in the dark and had no problems finding the camp.

Amazing, amazing, amazing
The most amazing campsite I have ever been to. Private, tranquil, gorgeous. We stayed at site 5 and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place. Definitely will be back!

I love being so close to the river it was so peaceful. There were campers in the neighboring site but there was plenty of space between us so it was like they weren’t even there. The only thing is there are trains that go by during the night. We were aware of this before hand, it is just something to know. Overall we had a great time!

Another much needed wind down beside the river. I stayed in my same spot and just felt like I was home. I also met the daughter and she couldnt have been sweeter. Cant wait for my next trip camping!
Thanks Wendy and fam ❤

Just The Getaway We Needed
I loved camping here, there were trees blocking sight lines between each campsite and it was nice to walk my dog down the river view right on the site! Great for car and tent camping, and the tree canopy above our site allowed for plenty of shade throughout the day! Perfect and wonderful campground for the price!

We loved our stay, the host Wendy is very sweet and caring. The river view was great, and the place neat and comfortable.
The only thing we didn't like was the lawn mower on Saturday, it started at 9:00 am and ended at 4:00 pm. I know the grass needs to be cut to keep the place clean, but it was a little unpleasant, waking up to the noise and hearing it through the afternoon. i wish we could have so quiet time on our camping.

Would go again
Really great spot, when we arrived a little early there was a guy out there cleaning up the spots and mowing the grass! Very well kept and would go again, the river is beautiful but make sure you bring bug spray because it is buggy.

Amazing spot, direct James river access. Shaded camping area with huge open field behind you. Great smallmouth fishing too! Will 100% be back

I loved car camping here! It was a beautiful secluded spot right on the James along with some cool train tracks. There was fire wood available and some nice amenities like a picnic table and a fire pit with grates for cooking. I will definitely be coming back! Thank you!!!

Wendy's site was awesome! The location was great - the field to one side and river on the other made for great views and a feeling of peaceful solitude, while the trees around the actual site kept us from feeling too exposed. Like others, we noticed the trains but didn't find them intrusive. Would come back again!

Perfectly tucked away, plenty of privacy between sites. Port-a-potty was clean. Great place! Would definitely camp again.

What can I say
What can I say but AFREAKINMAZING! The numerous birds woke us with songs and the frogs lulled us to sleep each evening. There is a train that passes several times daily but it truly adds ambiance to the daytime view of the rushing James River. The sun drenched flower field with the cloud shrouded mountain backdrop is a scene of perfect tranquility. The glow worms (firefly larvae) danced in the treeline like the stars in the clear sky. The Hellgrammites that appeared may be a creature of nightmares but its great fishing bait and become the Dobbson fly which is beneficial to the local environment. I will definitely return Wendy. This place is a treasure.

Gem on the river
Beautiful spot right on the river. So quiet and peaceful and felt very remote yet was surprisingly easy to get to (even though the directions make it seem daunting). Wendy was very responsive and I easily found the site. Clean and private from any neighbors. Great gem of a find.

Great for solo or group travel

Great camping! The sites are awesome with a fire ring, table and grates for over the fire. The river access is ideal as well. Stayed for two nights with a pup who had a blast. Will be back for sure!!

Camping by the river
We were able to locate the site with ease. We had an amazing experience the site was right on the river so falling asleep to the sound of the flowing river was a nice addition. We would definitely recommend this site!!

Simple spot in a great location.
Great location by the river and in general the broader natural bridge area. It is literally in between two active rail roads on one side of the field and the other side of the river- 100-200 yards from each. Our kids enjoyed the trains but you will hear five or six+ a day and in the middle of the night.
The sites are roomy with accessible river slots in each site, tables, fire grates. And having only a few sites on the property, the privacy is what makes it great- although we noticed they are putting in bigger sites on the same location that seem to be catered towards canoe trips etc. firewood easily accessible .
We also love the hay field for playing kick ball or flying kites. All this within short driving distance of great hiking like Devils Marble Yard.
The biggest drawbacks are that there is no potable water (we knew in advance) or trash drop.
This property is made for car camping and has a great layout to set up a heavy camp if you desire, but no trash drop off- or at least a suggestion about where to take trash off property was a drawback

AWESOME EXPERIENCE!
Amazing Mountain View’s and water view! Very easy communication with host Wendy. It was a rainy weekend but still we had an awesome experience! Thankful for the mulched ground as we have No mud issue. Our dog Molly had a blast and even soaked her paws on the river. The water was with a calm current along the sides that I was able to put a chair and sat to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Highly recommended.
