## Overview

An active hay field nestled between the river and the railroad.  A great place to enjoy some R and R.  We love to float the James and there is easy access to the river on our property.  A beautiful field as well as some trees for added shade. Fun to hear the trains and the water as you get amazing views of the night sky.

> Easy river access, big sites with plenty of room, good drainage, and kept clean. Trains come through on both sides which our family thought was cool. Quiet (other than trains every couple hours)

> I loved it. Beautiful place and even more beautiful scenery. Removing my bad weather coverage right before I left for the weekend was my only complaint with the site.
