Arcadia Sanctuary



Arcadia is the name we gave to our 83-acre mountainside retreat center for Earth-Based Spirituality.
It’s nestled on the south-eastern slope of 4000-foot Mount Pleasant in Central Virginia, convenient to I81. (Note, there is a town called Arcadia off I81, but that is not us. Not to confuse.)

We have a mountain creek with waterfalls, towering Beech and Sycamore trees, Witch Hazels leaning over the water, trout, crayfish, snakes, salamanders, and all the rest. We have about 2000 feet of the vertical mountainside with trails to explore. (But the stage and most of the camping is down closer to creek-level.)
 There are more sites higher up the mountain if you like more isolated camping. 
More of a trek to the bathrooms/showers/freshwater.

We have one of the finest private stages on the East Coast with a top-notch sound system and a natural amphitheater which is like a single pie wedge of a Stadium that has regular live performances throughout the spring, summer, and fall.
 Our yurt is regularly booked as a unique glamping experience. 
There are chickens, ducks, turkeys, and guinea fowl free-roaming.
Two dogs, nine cats, and several humans are blessed to call this home.

Luscious green next to the pond.  A great place to camp, be visited by the ducks and listen to the wildlife and the creek nearby

This is our mountain and your campsite will be about a third of the way up it.  

Guinea hang out is close to this tree.   

This is the out door amphitheater close to camp site. where when there is music you can listen there or from the luxury of your tent.

Hawk Nest Mushroom Farm

Several areas to camp in, take your pick.  Nice shady wooded area overlooking Joes Creek. 

Be happy to give you a tour of the mushroom farm.  

Learn more about this land:

The wooded area is next to my house.  There's about 4 acres to explore and a gravel road rarely traveled for a nice walk to a view for a great sunset.  Harrisonburg is 5 minutes from here and has lots of night life, micro breweries etc. I have long power cords if you need electric at the campsite. You may hear owls hooting at night.  The campsite is under white pines with a thick bed of pine needles. There are several campsites under the red cedar trees that are naturally bug and mosquito resistant.     Shenandoah National Park is about 45 minutes away if you go to the 33 entrance and 45 minutes away to go to the Luray entrance. Lots of bears there and hikes to waterfalls. No hunting there.  Solar panels provide half of my energy needs. GW National forest has lots of hiking and mt biking and is half an hour away. Great views of the mountains from the  campsite area.  I'm dedicated to having lots of native plants and trees. I do not spray any pesticides.  Plenty of free firewood. Not too far off interstate 81.  I give tours of the mushroom farm whenever the weather isn't below freezing.  I don't recommend anything larger than a conversion van. Very small pull behind campers are OK . All campers are required to leave every day from 1 to 5. Belongings may be kept here. 

Just added some more camping areas below these solar panels in the wooded area. Very private and heavily wooded.

Twin Poplar Farm

The Farm is located on 65 private acres of Woods and Field on the Tye River. This is a place for people who love nature and want to be out in it. We have chosen to prioritize conservation over ease of access, so though the sites are all walk in only  [or paddle in!] this means you will camp on the grass or leaves not the gravel of a parking lot. 
There are only 3 sites on the land so you can soak up nature without noisy neighbors.

"Twin Poplar" refers to the Tulip Poplar's extraordinary tenacity, after being cut down, like the Phoenix who returns to life after death, a Poplar will often regrow as two "twin" trunks. A chance for a new life and growth!

Such a beautiful spot, a clearing on a knoll in the middle of the woods!

The knoll above the creek, under the Beech Trees.

Look for the mailbox! [Tho' there aren't ALWAYS rainbows...]

End of the day, fire by the river. The Beach is a perfect spot for fires and to put in or take out for a paddle, just steps from the camp site.

Late afternoon as the sun is setting and the woodpeckers have a good laugh at you getting a fire going!

Rockfish River Landing

Property lies along the Rockfish River in Southern Albemarle County, a short drive to country stores and many public boat landings on the James River. There are no public boat landings on the Rockfish River so you are ras likely to see a Blue Herron as another paddlers. Fishing is best in the spring when the Smallmouth spawn.

The table makes for the perfect place to set up a picnic!

There are some great spots to swim in right at the campsite

Lounge chairs are provided so you can enjoy the gorgeous view
