Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
9337 Bridgeport Rd, Arvonia Va.NOTE:We have changed things a bit. We are going with only 2 sites this year. Site 1 is no longer available. 9337 Bridgeport Rd. Arvonia, Va. Turn at the aluminum canoe placed on top of a large orange road barrier at the edge of our drive way. The canoe is bolding displaying the word HIPCAMP with a red arrow leading the way. Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. Bateau boats pass by all 3 campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are maned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting Go by a local store and buy night crawlers,worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something . Firewood available per request and delivered for$30.00 a load. Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Pitch your tent on the beach or under the trees if you prefer some shade. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night. Safety Notice: Not accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak when the James River level is 6 feet or higher at Scottsville. At 7.5 - 8 feet, there is not much beach to play on and the river is too dangerous to navigate. You can drive in and camp, but please stay clear of all water activities, including fishing, in these dangerous conditions.

We had a great time camping here! The river was surprisingly warm. The area was flat and clean. And our dogs loved it!

We had an amazing weekend stay and will definitely come back. Our host stopped by to check on us. The site was private and well kept with a beautiful view of the river.

Exceptional experience. Highly recommend site #3. I saw there was confusion on whether or not you could see site #2 in other reviews. You can see them but they are so far off in the distance, it doesn’t matter. There’s so much to see and explore in site #3, you won’t be disappointed.

I came with my cat and had a great time! Right by the river and felt very safe. Don't forget the train goes by sometimes!
