This was a 55-acre farm, split in half to accommodate a bypass through Charlottesville, so the previous owners had to give up half the land, and actually moved the house down to the other half of the property! They had to build a land bridge to get to the new home site, so they turned the bridge into a dam and created a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo. My wife Stephanie and I bought the property in early 2017 and have turned it into a private horse farm, adding pastures, a riding ring, and 6-stall barn. There are ~21 horses who live on the property. The property is unique in that you can hardly see another house from anywhere on the property and yet we are only 2 miles from Barracks Rd. Shopping Center, and 4 miles from the University of Virginia.

Sleep with friendly goats & alpacas. Fishing & hiking along the lake or trails. Our farm grows grapes, sunflowers, herbs of lavender, mint, sage, rosemary, and a huge varied plethora of flowers. We have been established for decades. The fishing is great as Va Fish and Game stock the lake each spring with bass, perch, catfish and even walleye. Many trails abound yet you can walk to a country general store from the farm. Mobile home living here is like no other as you don’t have nosy neighbors within an arms length away. You have the opposite with tranquility, and fresh air. Your senses become keener and nights allow you to sleep in the quiet country. No dogs unless owner agrees prior to arrivals

Had a great time!! It is a very special property and Jennifer was kind to show us the animals and tell us more about the history. The little cabin was comfortable and had all the basic cooking items we needed as well as plenty of water for dishes/handwashing! We enjoyed a complimentary wine tasting at a nearby winery that Jennifer gave us, but overall just hung out at the property and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Also, the outhouse is difficult to see if you arrive at night, but it is there, just a few feet off the trail by the solar lights :)

Graham's land was beautiful! The site was well maintained, flat and an even space for our truck camping. There was a nice picnic table at each site with a fire box and grate to cook on, all stocked with firewood and even kindling to get started. The river wraps around the sites with giant rocks and a steap forest incline opposite of the site. The hosts were incredibly kind and went far out of their way to help us out. The river was very refreshing (it froze last night) but we still enjoyed the semi polar plunge. It'll be a perfect summer spot with a sandy beach and great rocks to jump off into the water.

Overall a decent stay. The staff at the brewery were confused about check in but we got it sorted out. It was in the colder season so we had a lot of privacy which was really nice. We enjoyed the ability to hang at the brewery/vineyard with other campers and we appreciated bathrooms available after hours. The butter beer and white wine hot apple cider were just what we needed that chilly night. Would stay again but my only complaint was it was hard to find a flat spot to set up. We found a decently flat spot but since we were sleeping directly on a mat on the ground we were shifting/sliding all night- prob would’ve been fine for a RV camper though.

Welcome to Christopher Run Campground, a unique destination nestled on the shores of Lake Anna, where history and nature intertwine. Established by Sam and Jean Bazzanella in 1973, this campground transformed from a small picnic area into a beloved retreat, thanks to the couple's resilience and vision after losing 40 acres of farmland to the lake created for cooling the nearby nuclear power plant. When Hurricane Agnes filled the lake in 1972, the Bazzanellas' initial efforts—a modest picnic shelter and boat ramp—quickly gained popularity among friends and family. As word spread, visitors began to request overnight camping, inspiring the Bazzanellas to officially open Christopher Run Campground. Initially featuring just 60 sites and a small store, the campground rapidly became a sought-after spot for outdoor enthusiasts. Over the years, with dedication and support from family and friends, the campground expanded to accommodate over 200 sites, offering a variety of amenities that enhance the camping experience. Today, Christopher Run Campground continues to thrive under the guidance of the next generation of Bazzanellas, ensuring that guests enjoy the same warmth and hospitality that made this campground a cherished destination.

The best camping in Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park, VA guide

Overview

About

Portions of four major Civil War battlefields call this National Military Park home. These verdant, rolling pastures and lush river valleys saw some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Signs point the way for self-guided tours among the battlefields.

During the summer, Park Rangers lead groups on hikes through several areas. See the spot where Gen. Stonewall Jackson received his fatal bullet wound from friendly fire in 1863. (Fellow Confederates who thought he was an enemy scout in the darkness.)

In the Battle of the Wilderness, both sides fought to a draw. Five generals died during the two-day battle. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant vowed to fight on to Richmond, even though he faced long odds in May of 1864. Make sure to check out any special events or re-enactments happening at any of the four battlefields.

Aside from walking trails and historic towns, these battlefields put you in the throes of some of the most intense fighting of the war. More than 15,000 Americans died here, with 85,000 men wounded. This relatively small area is the bloodiest ground in the United States in terms of casualties. The four battles occurred over a two-year period as Union commander tried again and again to reach the ultimate prize: Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. These sites put the struggles of American into perspective.

Several campsites near this park offer a place for a base camp to explore these historic sites and attractions. Recreational activities along the Rappahannock River abound, while Fredericksburg is just a short way from Mount Vernon and Washington DC.

Important US Civil War History
It's staggering how many soldiers died in this part of Virginia alone during the US Civil War. This park is a good way to remember and pay tribute to the many Americans that gave their lives in this War. The "Park" is spread out so suggest doing separate parts at different times. There are many points of interest to check out and some nice hiking trails through the battlefield areas too.
