Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
9337 Bridgeport Rd. Arvonia, Va. Turn at the aluminum canoe placed on top of a large orange road barrier at the edge of our drive way. The canoe is bolding displaying the word HIPCAMP with a red arrow leading the way. Follow the drive down to the river front campsites.. 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 . Firewood available per request and delivered for$30.00 a 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 On the other side of the river you might hear a train passing by at different times, both, day and night. 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.

Site 2
This is the best campsite on the Middle James, hands down! The improvements are thoughtfully designed and well maintained, and the natural environment is unrivaled. Jenny and Mike clearly care about their guest's experience and have a special connection with the property. Our group feels very fortunate to have experienced a night camping at Seven Islands Farm.

Great Stay
Tent camped on site 3 and it was amazing. Isolated and peaceful where you can hear the water and a nearby train. Would definitely come here again.

Site 2
We had stayed at site 3 and thought we’d do Site 2 and had a blast. It as a nice little ramp down to the beach / river area, a neat swing for the kids and plenty of privacy. The host left plenty of wood for us and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. Best spot to camp.
