So much fun! Beautiful, accessible, and safe. A bit hard to find due to a faulty link but the hosts were very helpful and once we found it we had a great time

Camping riverside
My pup and I had a wonderful stay here! Michael and his wife, brought some great cedar fire wood that made starting the fire super quick! We camped under a huge tree right next to the river. My dog loved swimming in the water. The site was nicely taken care of and grass was mowed around the area. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

This is simply a great riverside campsite. Michael keeps the place perfectly manicured and is quick to respond to inquirys and requests. Unfortunately nature didn't allow us to enjoy the beauty of the river this trip, due to heavy rains the days before, but we still enjoyed the serenity provided by the remoteness, privacy, and majesty of the mighty and muddy river.

We stayed at site 1. There is ample space for an RV or trailer. Location is perfect for launching kayaks for fishing or just floating. Be sure to bring a rug or boot cleaner because the silty soil will really stick to your shoes if it gets wet.

Spring on the James river.
This was a great place to stay.
The 3 sites have lots of room and are separated enough you don’t hear music or generators from the other camps.
We stayed or site 3 and had a wonderful view of the western end of Cleveland island.
Very quiet and the stars at night were amazing.
There is a railroad on the opposite side of the James river, in the 3 days we were there, it came thru about six times a couple of times at night.
But I never found it annoying and I liked the sound of a train in the distance.
It was part of the charm.
Easy to get to and although I have 4 wheel drive , you won’t need it.
We are looking forward to going back.

Great weekend camping!
I really enjoyed my stay boondocking on the James in this very private lovely lot. The hosts Jenny and Mike were so nice, they stopped in once to let us know about the safety of the river ( always changing). It was a little muddy but the weather was great and I would highly recommend this place. All 3 sites are truly nice , each with their own charm. My dogs had a blast!!

When planning a trip for friends, my son, and I, I am wanting a location that feels like we have gone somewhere remote but not terribly far from conveniences. I’m also looking for something that has beautiful views and some space to explore. I feel like Michael’s seven islands checked all of the boxes for us! It’s a primitive campsite but a firepit, table, and purchase for fire wood was included. Access to the beaches along the Jame’s river was a big plus for swimming and fishing. I would definitely recommend.

So much space!
This camp spot couldn't of been better! There are 3 on the property, and all of them have so much space, and are right on the James river! Such a nice property, and campsites. Live about 25 min away and will be back as often as possible! Also the roads and sites are very clearly marked, which is super helpful.

Favorite spot
This was our second time camping here and we absolutely loved it!! We picked a very cold time of year but we had plenty of firewood for a couple of nights and we were the only people there.. it was so peaceful. The moon rising over the water was a sight to behold and we loved watching and listening to the train across the river. Thank you, Michael, we will be back!

We had a fantastic time camping here! The views are amazing and it is very private. Can’t wait to come back when it’s warm and can float on the river.

This site is absolutely beautiful, right on the riverbank! We loved the view of the water, the sounds of the River, and the seclusion of the site. So peaceful! The route from the main road down to the water was clearly marked. It was everything we hoped it would be, and we cannot wait to return!

Beautiful spot!
10/10 camping spot! If you like spacious, secluded campsites then this is your place. Site 1 was massive and had a beautiful view of the river. We only saw 2 people the whole time and that was Mike & his wife driving down to check up on us! They asked if we got in alright and if we needed anything, just call. Very sweet couple. Campsite was well taken care of. No trash, nice fire pit, leaves were blown out of the site as well. Our two dogs loved it!

Shangri-la on the James
This campground is amazing and one of the most unique I have been to in my 40 years of camping. Tons of privacy with sites spaced very far apart, good road in, river access that rivals most in beauty and serenity, well-manicured sites and paths to river, unique small town close by (Scottsville), and very accommodating and friendly owners. The firewood available for purchase and delivery burned very nicely and emitted a wonderful cedar fragrance. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets along with foggy morning photo ops are included for free.
