Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

If you enjoy a rustic, primitive tent camping experience and are looking to spend a little more than average so that you are able to camp in a place where there will be no other campers or campsites being utilized during your stay, our campsite may be a good fit for you! For now, it is the only campsite we are offering on our property. We provide the campsite with a table and chairs and a firepit, but outside of that you will need to bring your own amenities, such as water, lights and camping toilet. You may collect wood surrounding campsite to make a fire or purchase a chopped firewood bundle(s) from us. We do have a trashcan at entrance into woods you can put your trash into. We are in Fluvanna County, roughly 5 miles from the historic town of Scottsville. Your campsite will be down a wooded dirt road (4WD required) into our 20-acre wooded parcel which adjoins our 10-acre parcel and farmhouse, that is nearby further down main driveway. While we wish to respect your privacy as much as possible, do keep in mind that you may hear or see things associated with our living on the property and we do have children and animals. Our dogs Brewster and Ruby are friendly and may try to stop by to check things out at some point during your stay, but if that is an issue for you I can make every effort to keep them with us/in the house during your stay. We are roughly 30 minutes from Charlottesville, 20 minutes from Palmyra and 10 minutes from the historic town of Scottsville on the James River where you can float and/or fish, kayak, canoe, tube (outfitters right in Scottsville) rent a kayak, canoe, paddle board or tube from us (must sign liability waiver) or walk around the town of Scottsville & see the historic architecture and visit the novelty shops, restaurants, a bakery, coffee/book shop, thrift/antique mall, art gallery, a mercantile with locally sourced natural and raw foods and beverages. The Rivanna River is also not far. There are several wineries such as Cunningham Creek, Mount Ida and Hardware Hills and a brewery in Scottsville called James River Brewery nearby. Visit some nearby parks, Pleasant Grove or Scheier Nature Area in Fluvanna County and Dorrier Park or Van Clief Nature Area in Scottsville, Walnut Creek Park in Albemarle.At this all wooded campsite you can pitch a few tents and do more dispersed style near the cleared area if that is what works best for you, or pitch within the cleared areas too. There is a table and 4 chairs as well as a firepit and you can collect as much wood as you like from surrounding woods. We will typically try to have some cut up logs for you to burn as well. There's also a couple chairs a short walk down a trail to the field edge. If you are going to have a few guests, please let us know if you would like another table ( we have a fold up one) and some more chairs ahead of time and we can bring them over. Also, we can provide a charcoal grill if you would like one, as well. Please keep in mind that we are surrounded by tons of wildlife and we DEFINITELY have had bears around our house and in these woods looking for stuff to get into. So please be sure to utilize the trash bin at entrance into our property and keep trash cleaned up and away from your site as well as storing food items securely. You can also go for a hike by continuing down the dirt road in the woods, but go towards the left and when you get to an old trash pit you follow the trail to the right and it is an in and out trail that will take you to a bluff above Hardware River, although the river is not very visible this time of year, it's still a nice walk in the woods. At time of this posting, plan is to create a loop trail here as well as other trails throughout the property. I will update accordingly when that happens.
