Please note that we have a new entrance. 9337 Bridgeport Road. New driveway is just beyond the old one on the right. Look for the aluminum canoe sign at the edge of the drive way. Riverfront camping at its finest . Bateau boats pass by all 3 campsites on the third Thursday ofJune. This is due to a yearly Festival held in Scottsville where Historic river boats that used to haul goods up and down the river back in the day are maned by people in period clothing re-enacting the route that was taken. Smallmouth and catfish are biting Go by a local store and buy night crawlers worms and a pack of 2/0 hooks and you will catch something . You can now buy river tubes from the host. We will pump them up and deliver to your site. Fire wood also available delivered. 30.00 for UTV LOAD. Accessible by car or canoe, East End at Seven Islands provides endless fun for the whole family, including your well behaved off-leash dogs. When you arrive take a cooling dip in a quiet “river pool”, relax on your private beach, or see if the fish are biting. Let your kids experience the best the river has to offer by exploring the shallows for crayfish, chasing minnows, or watching for Bald Eagles patrolling the river. Pitch your tent on the beach or under the trees if you prefer some shade. Spend your nights stargazing, enjoying a campfire (remember to bring s’mores ingredients), or fishing for catfish. This is an ideal family-oriented campsite about an hour NW of Richmond. Come, enjoy and make some memories! Children 10 and under are free. The real estate sign at the entrance is for the farm house only. Camp sites are not for sale and won’t be. Future bookings are no problem Safety Notice: Not accessible by boat, canoe, or kayak when the James River level is 6 feet or higher at Scottsville. At 7.5 - 8 feet, there is not much beach to play on and the river is too dangerous to navigate. You can drive in and camp, but please stay clear of all water activities, including fishing, in these dangerous conditions.

Wonderful campsite!
Such a great stay! Mike is so chill and kind. This was our second summer coming to 7 Islands and will be back again, for sure. VERY private, large, beautiful camping area with cool river breezes and shade...we were quite comfortable in the 90+ degree heat.

This was the perfect spot for our overnight camping trip. Loved the set up with fire pit and loved the beach area. Views were amazing and fishing was great. Directions to site were very clear and everything was just as advertised. I would recommend and we will return to this location.

We had a wonderful time tent camping! We caught small mouth bass and catfish at night! We will definitely be back! The owners stopped to say hello which was nice to meet them face to face. You won’t regret booking this site 😁

We will definitely be back! We stayed at Site 2. There was a nice shaded grassy clearing where we put the tent and another area on the beach that would be suitable for a tent. Our dogs loved it and we had a blast fishing and kayaking and sitting around the fire. I was surprised how clear the water was! The driveway and sites are well marked.

Relaxing and tons of privacy
We loved our trip to Seven Islands. There were a couple other campers during our stay but we never heard them--the space is very isolated. The ground is level, not too hard, and has a nice shaded area. The swing and beach area were hits for our two young kids. We also enjoyed the second fire pit right along the river.
