City Camp on Reedy Creek
2 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Richmond, VA
Learn more about this land:
Come take a load off at this forested Richmond retreat overlooking Reedy Creek. Set up a tent, car camp, or bring your small trailer to one of two sites on a unique property backed up to 20+ acres of woods. Imagine a hidden gem where you can relax to the sounds of rushing water and chirping birds, but can walk or bike to coffee shops, breweries, restaurants, parks or the river. If you are coming into Richmond for a Brown's Island event we are a five minute Uber to an access point using the Potterfield walking bridge (it's a beautiful walk across the James River to the island).
Each campsite includes 3 level spots to pitch tents (see dimensions below), and a connected space to park one car, van or small trailer. The large parking space can be used as a fourth tent footprint if needed. There are additional parking spaces. Each site has a fire pit (with firewood on site), a grate to grill over the fire, a picnic table, and a hammock. There is a shared outbuilding with a composting toilet, hand washing sink, outdoor shower (solar warmed), and space to change privately.
Campsite W ~
Tent footprints: 1) 10' x 12'
2) 10' x 13'
3) 9' x 10'
Campsite E ~
Tent footprints: 1) 15'x16'
2) 10' x 15'
3) 9' x 10'
**Pricing is based on groups of up to four adults or two adults with children.
For groups of five to seven adults there is an additional charge of $10 person per day.
For groups of eight or more we suggest you reserve both sites and have the entire camp to yourselves.
Campsites W and E are about 80' apart. Both are around 100' to the creek. The spots can accommodate a total length (towing vehicle plus trailer) of up to 35 ft.
There is an outdoor spigot with potable water and hoses for clean up. The woodlands and creek adjacent to the campsites have trails that are accessible to the public. You and your furry friends are welcome to use these paths, but know that others may be using them too.
Richmond has so much to offer and we are just a hop, skip, and a jump to many wonderful attractions - kayak or sunbathe on the James River, walk or bike on trails around the city, rock climb, dine, imbibe.
PLEASE NOTE* These sites are on a private property with a house that is visible to campers, but we give our guests complete privacy and don't plan to interact unless you need something from us. While you are on a 2 acre property backed up to a 20 acre wooded area, we are still in the middle of the city and you will hear city sounds.
This is a safe space. We do not discriminate based on anything that makes you...you.

The best camping near Richmond National Battlefield Park guide
Overview
About
Richmond's history starts with the American Revolution. But it was the Civil War that brought Virginia's largest city to the forefront. Richmond served as the capital of the Confederacy, which made it the ultimate prize for Union forces.
This battlefield's significance is not just about the climactic burning of Richmond. The national monument is more about the legacy of Richmond through a pivotal time in American history. This happens through 11 different sites on 763 acres within the city.
The park pays homage to the men and women, Confederate and Union, African-American and Caucasian, who sacrificed themselves in the name of a cause. Tour the old Tredegar Iron Works, where artifacts from the Civil War are on display. Three separate battlefields bring the time period to life. Each battlefield gives you a glimpse of how much Richmond struggled to survive for three years. The city was under pressure from advancing Federal troops moving from Washington.
See miles of original fortifications, from simple trenches to incredibly complex forts. One site shows how Union troops tried to break through to Richmond by sailing up the James River in 1862. Several lengthy campaigns followed.
Richmond National Battlefield Park stands today as a testament to a trying time in America.
