Located just minutes from Shenandoah National Park, we offer intimate nature-inspired cottages and camping on our 120-acre working farm. Enjoy an evening under the stars with fireflies and a campfire after a long day hike, fly fishing on one of our beautiful trout steams or touring the local vineyards and breweries.
We currently offer one cottage and a few campsites for our guests.

Three of our spots require walking away from your vehicle, short distances. We have four drive-in sites that will accommodate two or three vehicles.

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.

Wolftrap Farm
3 sites · Lodging584 acres · Gordonsville, VA
Wolftrap Farm was owned by James & Dolley Madison during their time, and they called it Black Meadow. Their home, Montpelier, is just across the mountains you see from the campsite. It passed through the hands of various local farmers during the 19th & 20th centuries, and for many years was a dairy farm. It became primarily a horse farm in the 1970's, when it was owned by the German Von Wulffen family.The Cuthrell family from the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area acquired the farm in 2003 and converted it to a resort farm, featuring upscale vacation homes. Beginning around 2013, the farm started morphing into primarily a wedding venue, and now hosts over 60 weddings each year.

The best camping near Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park guide
Overview
About
Portions of four major Civil War battlefields call this National Military Park home. These verdant, rolling pastures and lush river valleys saw some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Signs point the way for self-guided tours among the battlefields.
During the summer, Park Rangers lead groups on hikes through several areas. See the spot where Gen. Stonewall Jackson received his fatal bullet wound from friendly fire in 1863. (Fellow Confederates who thought he was an enemy scout in the darkness.)
In the Battle of the Wilderness, both sides fought to a draw. Five generals died during the two-day battle. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant vowed to fight on to Richmond, even though he faced long odds in May of 1864. Make sure to check out any special events or re-enactments happening at any of the four battlefields.
Aside from walking trails and historic towns, these battlefields put you in the throes of some of the most intense fighting of the war. More than 15,000 Americans died here, with 85,000 men wounded. This relatively small area is the bloodiest ground in the United States in terms of casualties. The four battles occurred over a two-year period as Union commander tried again and again to reach the ultimate prize: Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. These sites put the struggles of American into perspective.
Several campsites near this park offer a place for a base camp to explore these historic sites and attractions. Recreational activities along the Rappahannock River abound, while Fredericksburg is just a short way from Mount Vernon and Washington DC.
