    Full Life Journey Farm

    5 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Reva, VA
    The hustle and bustle of the city life is great, but there's nothing like stepping out the car into the crisp country air. The peace and quiet provided at FLJF allows us to unplug from electronics and truly connect as a family (no high-speed internet). Additionally, it provides us an opportunity to teach our children life skills so that they can understand how to create rather than just consume things. There are many projects underway and many more ahead as we live out our family motto, "Life is not a destination, but a journey...Enjoy the journey!" We welcome you to take part in this journey called life with us and watch how we develop our modest farm into a premier destination in the heart of Madison County.Learn more about this land:Years ago we discussed having some land simply because for years I'd heard that having land was a great way to always have a place to call home. As time went on we realized that owning more than a small plot of land just a little larger than the home was a far reaching goal. After visiting several houses including this one, we decided the search would stop since this place was an absolute wreck. Fast forward a few weeks and we decided to take a day trip as we often did on the weekends that lead us to Madison County VA, Reva to be exact. For years we'd passed this area and never saw the name Reva pop up anywhere, in fact the only thing that we would ever notice was The Ole Country Store and Bakery and signs for wineries as if there was nothing else to do in the area. Wanting to connect our kids with the earth and know that fresh food starts in the ground we decided to create Full Life Journey Farm, a RV Park, because we love camping and a farm, because we like to eat good food. Starting the camping with RV Dry camping is a way to get our FLJF brand known and connect with friends and family in a great location with great people. Thank you for taking time to stop by our site and we hope you come visit us and spread the word, Virginia has a Black Owned RV Park and Farm that is open to everyone with a good heart, desire to enjoy life and connect with others who share the same vision of strengthening your Faith , Family, Finances with Fitness, Food and Fun. God Bless You!

    Private Farm Minutes to Cville

    7 sites · RVs, Tents55 acres · Charlottesville, VA
    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.

Built in the 1930's all from locally sourced hand-hammered stone, the house is open every night from 5pm - 9pm. Note that we offer several campsites relatively close to each other, so you should expect to see and hear other campers on the property during your stay.

No showers after 10 pm For meals, we have picnic tables, and you are encouraged to cook over the fire pits that accompany each site. Please practice Leave No Trace practices during your stay, as the property has raccoons and other critters who will be drawn to any food scraps that are left behind. Pets are allowed!

    Buffalo Gap Retreat and Camp

    68 sites · RVs, Tents70 acres · Capon Bridge, WV
    Located in the foothills of the Potomac Highlands, Buffalo Gap is a 1950s era former Mountain Kids Camp turned Retreat by a group of individuals who had a vision of creating a space where family and friends can enjoy a relaxing mountain get-away. Situated between two mountains -- Sandy Ridge and Slane's Knob -- Buffalo Gap sits in the gap between the two. Consequently, the 70 acre property is teaming with creeks and streams, along with a 1.5 acre spring fed lake, making it a peaceful and beautiful retreat from the daily stresses of life. Rent a cabin, camp, have a wedding or family reunion, enjoy our lakeview café, swim, hike, kayak, canoe, and so much more. With the nearby town of Capon Bridge just 10 minutes away and the Shenandoah Valley city of Winchester just 35 minutes, so much beauty and convenience with our riverside town and nearby bigger city for additional dining and entertainment as well as conveniences.

    Crowded campground with lots of first-timers which resulted in loud groups at 1am and crying toddlers at 3am. Bring earplugs. Restrooms were well maintained though and a good amount of trees to help separate camp spots.

    This is the campground of my childhhood. The National park that got me hooked. The stretch of the Appalachian I know by heart. My first encounter on a trail with a bear was here & I lived to tell the story. Waterfalls, hot summer days, bears, rattlers & good 'ol virginia hospitality is what memories are made of!

    Mathews Arm was a beautiful campsite surrounded by overlooks where you can catch outstanding sunsets and sunrises. The campsite hosts were very welcoming and helpful in planning out my hikes in Shenandoah. The other campers also invited me to the fires every night and asked if i wanted to join them on some of their hikes. I will definetly be camping at Mathews Arm again!

    Went there in the middle of the week and had no problem getting a camp site for just $10. Bathrooms were extremely clean. Camp sites were relatively small but they did the job. Pretty much all the sites are enclosed by large trees keeping you cool when that sun first hits your tent early in the morning. I would give it a 4/5 since there was nothing over the top about these grounds, however I had 0 complaints.
