River Front Get Away! A hidden gem
This place is a dream. Cannot wait to return! Floating the river was a blast. Highly recommend.

River Front Get Away! A hidden gem
Always a great spot to hang out by and in the water! Went with family and friends for our kid's birthday and everyone had a nice relaxing and fun filled time! We live in Richmond, so I think we've been there both times when the James River gauge in Richmond (Westham gauge) is a little over 4ft. This makes for real shallow water just off shore at this campsite which is great for kids. Also plenty of channels to explore between the rocks and deeper pools. Really a jem of a spot!

River Front Get Away! A hidden gem
Great site - directions from Amber and Mikey were very clear. Even though it rained in the afternoon - the grounds didn’t get too soggy as there was plenty of sunshine after. Our kids loved being in the river - easy to get down there with the steps. Always love the sound of the river when sleeping. Great spot and we would visit again.

Great communication from Amber & Mikey regarding directions and local things to do. The kitchen has everything you need to be comfortable from a coffee maker to pots and even a stand up wine opener. Comfortable beds with nice comforters. The place kept us dry and cozy during a severe thunderstorm.

Beautiful view, very buggy
Overall we had a fun time. The view of the river was absolutely beautiful, probably my favorite part. The bugs were pretty bad. There were hornets, ticks, flies, you name it, and we had every bug repellant you can think of. After a while we just sort of adapted to it: I suppose that comes with the river camping territory in late May. The river front, while beautiful, is a very strong current so you can’t really do anything in it except stand close to the shore. I recommend staying here if you have kayaks or boats you plan to use. We happened to have floating tubes that we tied up to a tree and could float on right on the river bank. That was nice. We brought our dog but local boating companies don’t allow dogs so we couldn’t rent a boat. The fire pit was nice and big. I think it’s a little overpriced for what it is, but I think the bugs really are what dampened the experience for me.
