Property lies along the Rockfish River in Southern Albemarle County, a short drive to country stores and many public boat landings on the James River. There are no public boat landings on the Rockfish River so you are r as likely to see a Blue Herron as another paddlers. Fishing is best in the spring when the Smallmouth spawn.Pitch your tent right next to the beautiful Rockfish River. Relax and take a swim, fantastic put-in for a leisurely float, canoe or kayak, Depending on the time of year, several family friendly rapids 3-5 hours trip to the confluence of the Rockfish and James rivers, which is only 4 miles or 8 minutes by car to the public boat landing on the James River. I can be contacted ahead of time for river conditions. Good fishing in both rivers for smallmouth bass, catfish, sunfish and many other species.

Primitive camp with a welcoming host! There was plenty of drift wood in the area for the fire pit, with a small picnic table right there. Plenty of parking, but soft sand in some spots, bring a 4wd capable vehicle if you're going to pull all the way in. Would recommend if you don't mind the very occasional vehicle driving nearby.

We had a great time

Tent · With pets

Nice spot steps away from the river. There was more than enough room for our large tent and several hammocks. The road is somewhat close by so we had to keep an eye on our roaming pup, but far enough away we could call her back when she started to roam that way. There were different spots to access the river to spread out the fun while we explored. It was mostly shaded which was ideal with the mid-summer heat. We had a lot of fun cooling off in the river and exploring it with our pup. No cell reception right at the tent sight but were able to send texts 50 yards away at the gate. Host was very responsive. We definitely will go back again.

Beautiful spot on the River with plenty of room to go explore. Dog Friendly and easy to get to. As others mentioned it is right on the road but was pretty quiet on a Friday night.

We had a really nice evening at Rockfish River Landing. This was a spur of the moment trip and this spot checked all the boxes. Cameron was nice enough to leave firewood for us at the campground when we arrived. Would definitely come back!

Awesome private campsite on the river! We stayed for a night in the fall and enjoyed cooking over the fire, the beautiful scenery, and the privacy that comes with having no other campsites on the property. A great place to stay after visiting the many nearby wineries. Will definitely be coming back in the summer and swimming in the river right at the campsite!

Nice camping spot on the river. There was more traffic than expected but I was aware that this wasn't too remote. My grandson and son in-law had a nice time as well.
