This is our third time here, and once again, it was absolutely spectacular. We met some of the nicest people, had absolutely no problems with dog noise or any other disturbances. Thank you again for your hospitality, Al!

The camp area was absolutely gorgeous!! Great views all around and nice level spots making set up a breeze. Al was a gracious host and made sure we were set for our weekend. The only sad part is the fact that there’s no wine at the winery. But for the views I’ve give it a 15 on a scale of 1-10. Wonderful weekend!!!

Lovely secluded Mountain View.

Mountain Cove Vineyards
Lovely remote setting. Host had our spot ready. It is in a hayfield with lots of cut grass. Little bit slippery for the tires and a little too soft to be able to level up.
The winery was closed while we stayed so we had the place to ourselves. Beautiful mountains all around. It is gorgeous both sunrise and sunset.
I would mention when the directions say « driveway to the right » it does mean that little two tire track path. The main road becomes a dirt road at the same spot and there is a house driveway on the left so we were confused. It’s not easy to turn around if you take the wrong turn.

Bring Leveling Blocks and Ear Plugs
18 ft campervan ·
Open fields adjacent to vineyards
Al was great the space is beautiful!
BUT: If you come in on a weekend flat space is limited forcing you to park on a hill. Even the area with 50 amp hook up was on a hill. We came in on a Thursday and no problem just one other trailer. We went to the Overland Expo event came back Friday evening and we had to squeeze between a camper and a van in order to be on flat ground. As we booked with hipcamp I believe he is also set up with Harvest Host.
As for the Ear Plugs, DOGS! We could be wrong but we don't believe Al has dogs. We believe the neighbors are trying to sabotage his Hipcamp. The first night (Thursday) the dogs showed up. Then on Friday you open a door and they're barking at you. Barking went all the way past midnight. Actually it was so bad we almost pulled the plug and I was ready to drive 4.5 hours home. Thank God we had earplugs which by midnight it was the best call we made to get a good night sleep to get an early start.
The other suggestion I have for Al is to get a reflective sign at end of driveway. Each night late in the evening I saw a vehicle go up the neighbors driveway with every light on, only to figure out they clearly were not in the right place and turn around. Maybe these are the folks with the dogs which seem to magically be gone in the AM.
First time at a Hipcamp definitely think we'll stick with traditional campgrounds or dispersed camping which is what we prefer.

Lovely views and quiet location. At the time the winery was closed, so not sure how it would be when there is regular business. Field is VERY unlevel. Our 32’ fifth wheel was borderline too big to enter the property. It was difficult to contact the owner when we arrived, but got everything squared away by evening.

The sites were nice and clean with plenty of room to spread out. We were hoping to sample the wine but the vineyard was closed and apparently sold out.
It’s a short walk to the nature conservancy trails but the trails don’t allow pets so we had to cut it short.
We’ll be back though, it was a pretty setting and easy in/out.

Large open field. The winery was closed but our host warmly greeted us and suggested using the fire pit. Plenty of firewood on hand. We enjoyed a night of camaraderie with fellow campers. Plenty of venues to visit nearby - Virginia Distillery, Outback Brewery and Woodridge Farm Brewery to name just a few.

Great spot! I would suggest plugging the actual address in vs. Hipcamp connecting to Apple Maps. We had a bit of an adventure getting there :)
Beautiful star filled evening, woke up to mist that reminded me of a northern CA morning.
Thanks again Al!

Not a pleasant experience. The published directions was a very narrow 2 track road when a better gravel road was available which we were told about on our departure.
Parking area was a very sloped hay field.
Electrical connection was sub-standard and we waited over three hours to get power.
Double dipping. Facility was offered on Harvest Host for free while we were charged $40 + $10 for electric.

We had such an amazing time during our stay! Al was the most gracious host. The site was easy to get to and nice and quiet. We did a nice tasting and enjoyed chatting with our host. We even got visited by the local pups that live near by. We will definitely be back again!

Al was beyond accommodating even though he wasn't able to be there, so sorry to missed the opportunity to meet him and his wife. He offered his assistance Jenise and she was fabulous. Helped us park the camper and get acclimated to our campsite right away. The place is beautiful and very close to Rt. 29 in Lovingston, but far enough away to not hear any road noise. It was peaceful, restful and just perfect.

This was our second stay with Al, and we enjoyed his property even more the second time. His wine is delicious and pairs well with the beautiful rolling hills surrounding the property. We were rewarded with stunning fall weather and foliage.
The site where we stayed is a large open field next to the vineyards. It can accommodate basically anything -- RVs, travel trailers, or RTTs. We enjoyed the site with a few other guests in the field, and still had ample space. The road leading into the property is narrow so be careful with larger rigs. Enjoy!

Great camping location. I loved the rustic nature of the vineyard. Most of the 6 or so campers that were boondocking were well spread out with lots or privacy for all. The vineyard also had power available if needed. Loved their wine as welll! This camping adventure was a test to see how my 3 dogs would do in our tiny camper. They did great and the vineyard was great for bring dogs.

Awesome camping spot! We arrived late and left early so we didn’t get to meet Al, but he’s built a beautiful place. A level, mowed hayfield provided a quiet, relaxing evening. We were even greeted by a great dog who insisted on licking our hands. Highly recommended!

Mountain Cove Vineyard was a serene and pleasant spot to spend a few days; indeed, it is lovely! The surrounding hills, the quiet, the mist rising off the meadow in the morning, and the owls at night filled us with deep content. To top off this favorable review, we thought Al a courteous, kind, and unobtrusive host. We plan to return as often as we can.

Mountain Cove Vineyards
This was our second stay here (4 nights this time) and it's now our favorite camping spot. As before, Al was gracious, responsive, and helpful. The view from this property is spectacular, and we had the place to ourselves for most of Labor Day weekend. For future campers, there are two camping areas: One is a smaller field up close to the winery building where electricity is available, and the lower field that doesn't have electricity but has a better view, in our opinion. We're set up well for boondocking, complete with a very quiet generator plus solar, so we chose the lower field, as we had last time. But you can't go wrong with either field. We have a 32' bumper-pull camper and found the single-lane driveway into the winery and camping areas easy to navigate. Propane is available on Saturday mornings at the farm store in Lovingston about 10 minutes away, and there's also a Food Lion near the farm store for groceries. There are some good places to eat as well, and we found the Yelp reviews in the area to be helpful and accurate.
