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.

Site 6 - Remote tent site
10/10! Easy to get to, just enough amenities, gorgeous, well-maintained land. Close enough to the city to be convenient but far and wooded enough to feel remote and relaxing. Bonus: sweet dogs on property!

Rustic Charm Meets Comfort
Our stay at site 2 was perfect. Tucked away in a lush landscape, the site provided a beautiful balance of nature and convenience. We pitched our own tent, which added a personal touch to the camp. The surrounding woods offered plenty of firewood for cozy fires, enhancing the camping experience. The nearby bathroom with hot water and a shower was an unexpected comfort, especially after days spent exploring the outdoors. We loved kayaking on the peaceful pond, which was a serene way to connect with nature. The site's canine residents were a joy to watch as they played freely, bringing smiles to our faces daily. Their presence made the site feel homely and added to the rustic charm of our stay. What truly set this Hipcamp apart was the attention to detail by the hosts. While they respected our privacy, they ensured everything needed for a comfortable stay was available. The combination of self-sufficiency and accessible assistance struck the perfect chord for a camping adventure. Overall, this Hipcamp offered a memorable escape, providing a delightful blend of outdoor activity and relaxation opportunities. It's a must-visit for those who appreciate the great outdoors, complete with the comforts of home. Our experience was exceptional, meriting a five-star recommendation.
