Best in Virginia: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

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 5 - Ridgetop meadow

Site 5 was quiet and huge with beautiful views of their horse farm. It was fairly easy to level our van in the spot. So close to all that Charlottesville has to offer but it feels like you’re really getting away from it all. Absolutely gorgeous sunset, too.

Site 6 - Remote tent site

I enjoyed the beauty of this farm and the ability to camp and reduce my costs for a quick overnight trip to Charlottesville for work. At just $30, I got to be lulled to sleep by the whispering trees and pet a miniature donkey, to boot! This feel-good and healing location was well worth the stop!

Site 3 - Tent / RV site

Beautiful site and property. Fire pits need replacing. Gazebo and available propane grill were nice touches. Location is amazing if you’re doing anything at the University. Available restroom and shower is also convenient.
