McKee Farm is rich in memories and rich in history. It has been in the family for over 150 years and we were told that it was one of stopping points for the underground railroad. The 240 acre farm boasts a hidden cave, wide open fields, breathtaking forest land, and historic and rustic barns.
Nestled at the edge of a wooded creek, Tullihas in the Trees treehouse boasts a beautiful sunset view with rolling hills. Tullihas combines comfort with the thrill of being immersed in nature. Built using recycled electric poles, Tullihas in the Trees has a deck perfect for hammocking, an interior dressed with windows so that guests can feel as if they are living amongst the trees, and two small lofts ideal for a restful night's sleep.
Oxley in the Woods is our newest treehouse cabin. Nestled in the woods with a view of the sunset, the lovely A Frame is filled with lovely woodwork, vintage parquet flooring, and private wooded views. The deck is huge! We've had guests set up a tent on the deck beside the treehouse for fun! Swings, and a slide make the Oxley a fun adventure. The double bed in the loft and the two stacked single beds are comfortable and cozy.
The McKee Farmhouse was built in the 1800s and is rich in memories. It's a rustic old house, with wood trim, hardwood floors, and plenty of imperfections that make it unique. You can sit on the porch and drink your coffee with a view of the barn and pastures, or cozy up in one of the house's four bedrooms and sleep in. The house is fully air conditioned and heated, has all the amenities of home, but takes you back to a simpler time.
Our campsites are all set apart from one another in various locations on the 240 acre farm. Secluded and unique, each campsite has its own charm. We provide guests with a fire ring and a shovel, and some sites have a picnic table.
Hiking trails are marked throughout the land. Guests can hike with views of horses, cows, wildlife, corn fields, large boulders, and rustic barns. The dirt roads provide great places to drive ATVs and four-wheelers. An Amish farm borders McKee Farm. Guests should know there is minimal cell service, however, this can offer a great opportunity to unplug. Tullihas in the Trees provides a perfect remote and rustic getaway for anyone.
In October and November, access to hiking is limited.

Past trips
Camping in the shade on the river
in Camping in the shade on the river, VirginiaLlama Lodge Camping
in Paule T.âs Land, VirginiaA quiet stay by the pond
My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to Llama Lodge camping. The campsite is nestled at the edge of the woods close to a little pond and is complete with a fire ring, privacy toilet, and picnic table. A little paddle boat is provided for guests who would like to go out on the water. Hopefully next time we can meet the Llamas. They were deep in the woods when we were there, however, our host said the best time to meet them is when they are fed in the mornings. A great nearby attraction is High Bridge State Park in Farmville. We took our bikes and had a great time biking the old railroad bed that is now the trail. The town of Farmville is also a great place to visit. Our host was accommodating and has created a great little site!
Site 2
in Seven Islands River Front Camping, VirginiaWhen I booked James River Front camping, I had no idea what a gem of a camping experience we were going to get. No camera could adequately capture the unrivaled splendor of this beautiful place. Michael did a wonderful job making cute signs to direct campers. It was a hot day and our first instinct when we pulled up to our site was to jump into the cool river. We could almost taste the earthy cleanliness in the air. We set up our tent right on the bank and the graceful current took our breath away. The sound of the river was the best thing to hear from our tent. We enjoyed skipping rocks, exploring the banks of the river, and just delighting in this serene place. Next time, we would love to bring a hammock, a raft, and some fishing rods.
Michael was a great communicator and he has done an excellent job maintaining the campsites. Each site has a very nice picnic table and fire pit. We highly recommend James River Front camping and will definitely be back.
Site 2 - The Forge at Fiddler's Ridge
in The Forge at Fiddler's Ridge, VirginiaAs my husband and I drove to The Forge at Fiddlerâs Ridge, our excitement mounted. The sun was bursting through clouds and the mountains and rolling hills of central Virginia were alive with summer. Our host, John, met us at his house and was eager to give us a tour of his property. Between flourishing gardens, and well-maintained trails, Johnâs hard work is evident on his land. We couldnât help but notice a whole wall lined with horseshoes in his shop. John explained to us that he re-purposes the horseshoes and welds them for different uses. John is a blacksmith and we are planning to take classes from him in the future. He was gracious enough to show us around his blacksmith shop and we admired his skill of metal work.
We followed John down a long, winding lane through the woods to our campsite. As we drove, we observed signs beside some of the trees and plants indicating their species. The site we selected was on a hill overlooking fields and woods. It was close walking distance to the outhouse and hiking trails. Johnâs attention to detail was evident even in the outhouse he built and we appreciated his forged handles on the door. My husband and I set up camp and were eager to explore. We hiked down to the creek and reveled in the quiet of the outdoors save for the gentle trickle of the stream. We loved our time at The Forge at Fiddlerâs Ridge and would most definitely recommend it to anyone looking to getaway into nature.
Turtle Campground Tent Camping
in Turtle Campground Tent Camping, VirginiaMy sister and I enjoyed our drive out to Turtle Campground. There was beautiful scenery and the countryside was blooming with springtime. Jaretâs Turtle Campground is in a patch of woods behind some houses in a neighborhood. Visitors should be aware that if they are looking for a site that is far removed from civilization and remote, this is probably not the site for them. However, it could be a nice stop if someone is needing a nightâs stay and doesnât want to go too far out of civilization. My sister and I agree that this site could be a nice camping experience for people, however, the host could definitely make some steps for improvement first. The trail into the woods was overgrown m, there was a lot of garbage and plastic stuff in the woods, there were low down power lines (seen in our photos), the site is behind a vacant house that didnât feel very safe, and there really wasnât a good place for a tent in the woods. We didnât want to get a hole in our tent with all of the briers and trash on the ground, so unfortunately, we had to leave. The patch of woods has the potential to be very beautiful, so hopefully this site can be cleaned up and gotten ready for a summer of camping.
Site 4 - Spring Valley Cabins
in Spring Valleyâs Tiny House, VirginiaA cozy cabin with pasture views
My husband and I really enjoyed our visit to Spring Valley Cabins! The host was helpful and friendly and the cabin was clean and had a really cool, rustic style! We had a great view of the horse pastures and pond with mountains in the distance. The cabin is fully equipped with kitchen appliances and dishes and there is a nice picnic table and fire pit outside. Spring Valley Cabins is located about a half hour away from Smith Mountain Lake State Park, so my husband and I took the opportunity to explore the area and mountain bike on some of the trails around the lake. We would definitely recommend this cozy spot!
Sherwood Forest
in Turkey Hollow Farm, VirginiaWoodsy beauty + beautiful farmland
My friend and I visited Turkey Hollow on a beautiful February day and really enjoyed our visit. Our host was very friendly and accommodating and we loved meeting the horses, ducks, cats, and dogs! The drive to Turkey Hollow is wound through the beautiful mountains of Virginia and the campsite is not far from Charlottesville. The site we chose secluded in the woods near a gentle stream. The horses made our day by greeting us while we were hammocking! I would 100% recommend Turkey Hollow to anyone looking to step into nature and camp in one of the most beautiful parts of Virginia!
Site 9 - Doberman Mountain
in Doberman Mountain, CaliforniaA starry view of the desert
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Doberman Mountain. This site is about 25 minutes from Twentynine Palms and wasnât far from Joshua Tree National Park. The site was situated on a long, dirt road, which is why the host highly recommends four wheel drive vehicles. There was a nice fire pit and quite a bit of flat space to put a tent. There was a beautiful view of the valley below and the stars at night were incredible. My husband and I camped in our Subaru on this trip because it was easier to keep warm. Joshua Tree area can be a little colder at night in January, however, we enjoyed quite a bit of sun during the day. After camping at Doberman mountain and eating a hearty breakfast, my husband and I hiked and climbed at Joshua Tree. This National Park is a must for anyone who loves nature and the outdoors, and Doberman Mountain is the perfect campsite for anyone looking for a convenient and simple campsite nearby.
Flying Diamonds' Hideaway Escape
in Dry Camping Under the Stars, CaliforniaA beautiful desert camp
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Heather Gâs Land. Not only is this camp very close to Joshua Tree National Park, it has amazing beauty of its own. The night stars were brilliant and the yurt we stayed in was clean and warm. Our host was so friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had an enjoyable experience!
Site 2 - CB Ranch Hike-In Tent Camping
in CB Ranch Camp -Almost Heaven cabins, West VirginiaWe absolutely loved CB Ranch Camp! It must Iâve been on the prettiest ranch in West Virginia. Beautiful views of the mountains, friendly animals to greet us, well maintained campsites, and welcoming guests are just a few of the things we lived about this camp.
Riverside Drive Retreat.
in Riverside Drive Retreat., OhioRiverside Drive Retreat couldnât have a better name. The site is located just across the street from a beautiful river and is situated in some cozy, beautiful woods. Our host was a great communicator and was very accommodating. The site was well kept and had a beautiful fire ring with log benches. We loved our visit and would definitely recommend this listing!
Site 2 - Harmony Fields at Ingersoll House
in Harmony Fields, OhioHarmony Fields was easy to find and did have a beautiful field next to it. We were situated on a property not far from several homes. There were no private spots to go to the restroom, however, the hosts said they are working on that. We were able to place our tent on a flat spot beside a tree in the field which provided nice shade. Several butterflies graced us with their presence. The hosts provided a picnic table and fire ring, however, there was a lot of high grass around them. Overall, this site would be a nice spot to crash for the night while traveling near Cleveland and is only about 30 minutes from Lake Erie.
