Inside, it’s glamping magic: bright, cozy, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some). Whip up meals with our charcoal grill, griddle, or two-burner stove—inside or out. You’ll find dishes, utensils, seasonings, blankets, board games, and even complimentary coffee (best enjoyed with a curious chicken nearby). Nestled on our 6-acre homestead, this peaceful escape offers sunrise views, star-filled skies, and a fire pit, swing, and table for relaxing outdoors. Want more adventure? We’re just 15 minutes from Williamsburg. We are also fortunate enough to have many parks and outdoor activities to choose from. We're only 12 minutes from York River State Park, which has a gorgeous river shoreline. The York River is known for its rare and delicate environment, where freshwater and saltwater meet to create a habitat rich in marine and plant life. You can hike, bike, kayak, raft, and more. They even hold classes on fossils!🦴 You can also meet our goats and geese, and we sometimes have fresh eggs for sale—just ask! 🐐🥚 All you have to bring is yourself (well and maybe some snacks)!

Do yourself a favor and book this site! We loved every moment of our stay on Rod’s ‘oasis’. The views were stunning, the atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, and we even got to leave with some fresh blue crabs from the local watermen - such a cool experience. Rod was wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable about the area, and we learned some fascinating facts about the local culture. Thank you, Rod, for an amazing stay!

Stargazer tiny cabin at the Guinea Farm was perfect for me and my pup. Ian was the perfect host and made us feel so welcome. Meeting the chickens and guineas was a lot of fun and the beach nearby was breathtaking. We explored the area, had a few campfires, and relaxed. Even the rainstorm was amazing while inside Stargazer!!! The cabin was super cool. We will be returning! Just a quick note that did not detract from the experience at all - we did encounter some hunting dogs loose at the beach hunting a deer. Its obviously hunting season and off the location, just good to note. We loved our trip here and valued meeting Ian and learning about his much loved birds, clearly living in paradise. Definitely worth a visit! The cabin itself was extremely clean and well stocked. The property was fun to explore, even has corn hole and axe throwing!

I’m a returning camper. Last time I went to Trilogy. Love this whole property. 2WD accessible. I was greeted by the host Ian who promptly brought me a huge pile of firewood. Campsite has a nice picnic table and nice fire ring with swivel cooking grate. The treehouse features a deck with a tent for anyone who needs it. The treehouse also has a griddle and grill running off a propane tank. Inside the treehouse has bar stools and a bar top dining area. It also has L-shaped benches on the back wall and a foldable table. There is a projector with Roku stick for streaming off of their WiFi. Also for fun there is a Nintendo 64 with 3 games including Mario Kart 64. All electrical components run off a battery powered by solar. There are USB-A ports in various area for your convenience. Additionally there are cots and camping chairs provided. I had a great time and felt very safe on the site. I really got to relive some childhood memories sleeping in a treehouse and playing video games. I highly recommend. If sleeping in the provided tent isn’t your thing or you have brought your own, there are countless areas surrounding the treehouse and an adjacent field with ample room 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

We had a wonderful stay at the Stargazer tiny cabin. It was incredibly cozy, warm and clean. The cabin had every amenity we needed, and Ian provided clear instructions for everything. He responded to all of our requests quickly and kindly, which made our stay even better. One of the highlights was looking up at the stars at night. It was absolutely fantastic! Aaron’s Beach and Haven Beach were only 3–5 minutes away, and we had the best time there with our dog. This was truly one of our best stays, and I strongly recommend Ian’s place. We will definitely be back!

Went camping as a group and couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Ian was absolutely amazing to meet. He let us explore the property, meet all his different birds (even got to see one in the cutest little hat), and gave us eggs for breakfast! The property is beautiful, with wonderful beaches nearby, and beautiful views of the night sky. We were even lucky enough to watch shooting stars while there. Couldn’t recommend Ian or this property enough. We will definitely be returning and camping at the other sites he offers!

Simple family friendly and family run campground with all the needed resources. We don’t use any of the resources of the full fledged resort campgrounds. But Busch Gardens is just a few miles away if that is what you want. We stayed two extra days to better explore Colonial Williamsburg and the other historical sites - our main goals for this stay.

The best camping in Fort Monroe National Monument, VA guide

Overview

About

This fort was originally built by Capt. John Smith in 1609. It stayed in service until World War II after it was upgraded and rebuilt. Today, the fort is both a historical monument and a vibrant seaside town off the coast of Hampton, Virginia.

The most significant contribution Fort Monroe made to American history was during the Civil War. On May 27, 1861, Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler proclaimed that any escaped slaves that made their way to the fort were considered free. This was despite the fact that Virginia seceded from the Union a few months before. The fort miraculously stayed in Union hands for the entire war. Confederates were more concerned about Richmond, about 80 miles to the northwest.

Freedom's Fortress was a working military installation until after World War II. The distinct hexagonal shape is huge. The Chapel of the Centurion served as a wedding venue for relatives of former presidents. The Casemate Museum shows you where Jefferson Davis was imprisoned after the Civil War. Old Point Comfort Lighthouse guided ships into the harbor before modern navigational tools.

The surrounding town has everything you need for a vacation. A campground just north of the fort serves as a home base right next to the Atlantic Ocean.
