Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

Denise

2 days ago

34 ft travel trailer

4 nights at Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

We throughly enjoyed our peaceful camping trip. Robert's land is perfect for our needs. Our dogs were so relaxed and so were we. We will have a really hard time enjoying a regular style campground ever again. We will be back!! Communication was great and responsive. We managed to fit a triple axel 34ft camper in with minimal leveling. We enjoyed some breweries nearby and shopping in mineral. The fireworks were a special treat and even my hotspot worked for Netflix. Thank you for sharing your land.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise by the Pond

My wife and I had a fantastic time relaxing and enjoying our anniversary at "Sunrise at the pond." Kevin and his wife were excellent host, and the animals were great entertainment.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise by the Pond

We had a terrific time camping on Kevin's farm. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend surrounded by nature. Despite visiting in the heat of summer, there was plenty of shade at both the gathering area by the pond and at the tent, which was very cool and comfortable. Kevin and his family are terrific hosts, and we enjoyed the chance to walk their working farm and see a variety of animals. Our hosts thought of everything and were super accessible. And you definitely won't run out of firewood! We definitely look forward to returning.

Weekend Trip to 1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

Randy is ace—very responsive and on top of things. The 4x4 site was not fancy, but it is perfect if all you are looking for is a mowed spot in the woods with a fire ring (perfect for my needs). The road to get to the spot is not as tight as it looks, just use common sense and take it easy. All in all, perfect.

Weekend Trip to Camping on the Hazel River

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at this campsite. The site place was spotless. Additionally, the location is fantastic, with a natural setting that allowed us to relax and enjoy to the fullest. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Little Goat Farm at the Lake

Bob and Susanne are the nicest people. So warm and welcoming. They were very generous with their time. The animals on the farm are very fun and incredible experiences for kids. The property is right up on the beautiful lake manassas. Just a great time and memories. Thank you Bob and Susanne !

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

this was a serene experience, five stars. It was a very quiet place extremely peaceful with 10 out of 10 recommend and will definitely visit again.

2 nights at Sunrise by the Pond

Other’s reviews of the stay are spot on! Spacious tent, we added an additional queen size raised camp bed with ease. Shower is hot and close to site and port-a-john clean and closer to the site. There’s a gas station with a convenience market less than a mile from the site for last minute supplies. We took the kayaks out for an afternoon trip around the pond and got to visit a few farm animals. There are trails to hike right from the camp site. Malinda and Kevin were responsive to our request and really enjoyed getting to meet them. Hope to stay here again in the future!

2 nights at Breezy View

Excellent site. Cleared and clean nice view of the river. Tree configuration makes for a nice group of hammocks. Will be back. Host was very communicative and prompt to respond.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Wonderful host and site! Someone else was at our site when we showed up and Yates was responsive and made sure we had another equally as lovely site to use. He also brought us some firewood for the inconvenience. Thanks, Yates!

5 nights at Private camp site with water access to Lake Anna, VA

Fantastic camp site. Private, ample space, plenty to do near by. Glad we found this spot.

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

We stayed at site #3 “River”. Beautiful private shaded spot perched in the forest overlooking the marsh and river. Riparian wonderland filled with songbirds, hummingbirds, and frogs. Son delighted in seeing a pair of bald eagles soaring high above the campsite. Directions were clear and host responsive when we arrived. Just make sure and bring your own firewood, since none was available upon our arrival, and the woods had a limited supply to scavenge.

1 night at Parson’s Landing

Beautiful, huge site perfect for privacy! My 9 year old caught his first crabs here. 😀 Very well maintained, even equipped with kayaks to enjoy the water. The bugs are bad (especially at night) so highly suggest bug protection!!!! Overall, definitely will return.

1 night at Camping at Wilderness Run

This was one of the nicest camping experiences I've had. The campsite is located at a brewery, so when I checked in I was able to buy some nice cold beer. Even the ground was nice and soft in the spot I picked out. I was feeling pretty burnt out at the end of a long day on the road, so I didn't go socialize - but the campsite is walking distance from the brewery if that interests you. Despite the proximity, I never actually saw another person during my stay aside from when I checked in, making it feel nice and private.

1 night at Cross Creek Farm

Rodney's place was perfect for us to spend the night. It was easy to find and Rodney was most hospitable: extraordinarily so since just the day before, a flash flood destroyed some of his animal containment fencing, so he was very busy with the needed repairs. Our camp spot was not affected as it was on higher ground that was sand/gravel/grass, so it still worked well for our van camper. He even provided us with a dozen farm fresh eggs (for only $5) from his own chickens. Thank you Rodney.

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Really nice private sites. Our dogs loved it. We were just there for one night and it was rainy so we didn’t get to experience everything the land had to offer, but check-in was easy, the sites were easy to find and the land was beautiful. Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to Earthwalk Ways Retreat

I really enjoyed my stay at Darlene❤️Darlene was great, very very accommodating. She called me asking if we needed anything that she could provide. The gazebo was amazing. It was equipped with a fan that came in handy since it was hot and sage with a feather that i was able to cleanse the space, and ourselves. We loved having the option to sleep in our tent or sleep in the hammocks. The creek was beautiful and the area so peaceful and the perfect space to do a forest bathing, which i highly recommend. Thank you so much Darlene for sharing your piece of heaven and sharing your time with me, I learned so much from you and my time there.

Weekend Trip to Riverfront Retreat

I loved tent camping on Eriks land! The river was fun and staff was helpful. Directions were clear. There was another site nearby but it wasn't too loud. My girlfriend and I felt safe and would definitely come back! Thank you erik

Weekend Trip to Parson’s Landing

Camp site was very well maintained. Lots of room and places to fish. Elliott also has a picnic table, fire pit, and kayaks to use.

Waterfront property with great sunsets and a relaxing view. Close to Budds Creek and Maryland International Raceway. Located on the Scenic Wicomico River a potomac tributary. The property is close to the Wicomico shores boat ramp and fishing pier. Also close by is the Wicomico Shores Golf Course, where aside from golfing you can enjoy an amazing burger and a beverage. Come kayak and fish or just enjoy a great sunset and campfire.

Earthwalk Ways Retreat

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1000 acres · Fredericksburg, VA

We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed. You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well. We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest. Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

4 sites · RVs, Tents45 acres · Lothian, MD

Please read entire description and most importantly, there are no toilet facilities, so please pack it out, dig a hole or bring your own head if you're not self-contained. No presents for me or other campers, thank you. 45-acre Historic farm, several sites to choose from depending on adventure wanderlust (including a 4WD drive site). Located on private gravel lane, approximately 1/2 mile off county road. Either corn or soybeans with a woods backdrop. Secluded and private, yet 25 minutes to downtown Annapolis, 10 minutes to the Bay, great for cycling, paddleboarding, kayaking all 10/15 minutes from farm. DC 45 minutes, Baltimore 1 hour. Jug Bay wetlands, wineries, fun little waterfront towns and Bay front restaurants all within easy reach. Check out individual sites for description, each has its own personality. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. First listing actually has several options. For large campers/coach/fifth wheelers the area by the tractor shed will be the best. Around the corner there's two other choices both with firepits which will accommodate units up to 40 feet depending on your backing/maneuvering skills. Field of Dreams and Sycamore Ridge will accommodate campers under 25 feet with some backing/maneuvering skills. For those with 4WD and an off-road camper/trailer/tent choose Off the Grid, two entrances for easy access, travel along a logging road to an open site with fire pit. Suitable during dry conditions and not responsible for damage to vehicle or camper. Great spot for those who truly want to be in the woods off the beaten path, site takes about 5 minutes to reach due to low-speed access.

Little Goat Farm at the Lake

1 site · Tent40 acres · Nokesville, VA

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

Camping in Caledon State Park guide

Overview

About

The towering trees and paintbrush stroke leaves of Caledon State Park will have you seeing green. Lace up those well-worn boots and trek one of ten designated trails designated for hiker's feet only. Four multi-purpose trails offer the opportunity to bike through the picturesque marshlands and scenic wooded areas that characterize the park. Fishing may not be available at Caledon Marsh or James Pond, but a short trip to Potomac River will remedy that. If you're looking for a slice of history, hop over to the nearby town of Fredericksburg, where the King George County Museum calls the town its home. As the leaves turn to a brilliant red and orange, Caledon State Park is the ideal spot to enjoy nature at its finest.

Notable campgrounds

Primitive Campsites: Nestled along the Potomac River, these sites offer a peaceful retreat into nature, accessible by hiking, biking, or paddling.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Book early to secure your spot, as the primitive campsites are in high demand for their unique riverfront location.
Be flexible with your dates to increase your chances of finding an available campsite.
Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience and easier reservations.
Explore nearby camping options if Caledon State Park is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Caledon State Park is from April to October when the weather is mild and the park's flora and fauna are most active. Winter months can be less ideal due to colder temperatures and limited visitor center hours.

Know before you go

Check the park's operating hours, open from 8am to dusk, and plan your visit accordingly.
Visitor center hours vary seasonally, so confirm the schedule before your trip.
Remember to pack out all trash, as the primitive campsites do not have trash removal services.
Accessibility is a priority; electric wheelchairs and scooters are allowed on trails for those with disabilities.
No potable water is available at the campsites, so bring sufficient water for drinking and cooking.
