We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, wish it could have been longer than an overnighter. We had Site 2, which was quite large but with lots of privacy and seclusion. Our 20 ft travel trailer was about the largest RV I’d want to put in that spot with the tight turn getting in and the overhanging branches. Iris was a wonderful host. She couldn’t have been more friendly, helpful, and welcoming. I’m still amazed at the peace and quiet we enjoyed in the middle of the Labor Day weekend!

Our original goal was to find a full hookup campsite near the Land Between the Lakes over the 4th of July holiday weekend for our 20-ft travel trailer while avoiding the noise, congestion, and chaos of most public/private campgrounds. Paul's place was wonderful and exceeded our wildest expectations as we had the entire property to ourselves.

The site is located in the woods on an old homestead. Lake Barkley is not visible but is a mere 1/2 mile walk down a one lane road that turns into an unimproved gravel path before it reaches the shoreline. The back of the property still has old buildings and farm implements scattered about. There were perhaps two serviceable full hookup sites available, with additional, adjacent sites under final construction (the gravel was piled up awaiting further spreading and leveling). The utilities risers are all brand new and first-rate. When completed, there will be about six full hookup sites with the appearance of a small RV park, with parallel gravel pads of varying 25 to 50 ft separation. There was one porta-let on the grounds that we did not need, but it must have been the cleanest one I've ever seen as I'm not sure it had ever been used. We loved the peace, quiet, and solitude and were glad to be the sole occupants of the campground for our full stay. Once construction on the new sites is completed, it may be harder to achieve the solitude we enjoyed.

Paul was a splendid fellow and couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. He gave us a long list of recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area, of which many we took full advantage.

We enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Virginia Free Farm We located our 20 ft travel trailer in the open grass field behind the farm house and adjacent to the stone fire pit with plenty of room to spare. The trees and other farm buildings on site gave us ample seclusion and privacy. We loved the quiet farm atmosphere and being surrounded by the unobtrusive sounds of the farm animals, even the distant crowing of the roosters at sunrise. The hosts were kind, helpful, and generous as we would see them out and about working with the gardens and animals in pens distributed throughout the property. They were good at giving us our space but always available and ready to explain the workings of their farm and the many local benevolences and people in need they so graciously serve. Their amenities were exactly as described in their listing. The gift of fresh eggs on our last morning was a special treat. We would certainly stay here again.
