Please note that we have a new entrance. 9337 Bridgeport Road. New driveway is just beyond the old one on the right. Look for the aluminum canoe sign at the edge of the drive way. Riverfront camping at its finest . 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 . You can now buy river tubes from the host. We will pump them up and deliver to your site. Fire wood also available delivered. 30.00 for UTV 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. The real estate sign at the entrance is for the farm house only. Camp sites are not for sale and won’t be. Future bookings are no problem 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.

The site was amazing! The direct river access was perfect! There was plenty of shade to keep cool in the heat. The site was clean and well kept. It was private and quiet too. We could see site 3 but it was pretty off into the distance. And, the hosts were super nice!

Great River Spot!
Beautiful site, lots of level areas for tents. Amazing river access and plenty of catfish after dark! Very dark and nicely secluded. It's a win for sure!

Camping perfection!
What a beautiful site! Right next to the river, a firepit with optional grills, and a picnic table. The grassy area was perfect for setting up chairs, and a flatter area beneath the trees was perfect for the tent. Maybe we lucked out deciding to camp in July but the weather was perfect, no bugs, and the river was clear and cool, and we could walk out to the middle. It was my dog's first time camping so he was a little nervous but he did well and loved being able to jump in the water whenever he got too hot. Michael stopped by on his tractor to introduce himself and my dog was very noisy being ultra-protective. We spent 2 wonderful nights and hope to return soon!
