If you choose to bring your dog/s, please let us know when booking. You should NOT bring your dog/s if they are high-strung, overly sensitive, aggressive, or not trained. Our livestock guardian dogs are hard-wired to protect so if they sense an uncomfortable vibe from another dog, it will make them uncomfortable and they need to be focused on doing their jobs. Safety, privacy and environmental impact is very important to us. We require a minimum of 50 feet between each campsite. Please contain all trash, human waste and canine waste and pack it out with you when you leave. Be kind to the areas in which you camp, as they are home to many wildlife, native trees/shrubs/plants and in some cases, food for horses and cows (hay fields). Each site is provided a fire pit (upon request) and we sell firewood. There is so much to enjoy on the farm, but you are also incredibly close to many amazing places such as: Wood Ridge Farm Brewery Public Access to Rockfish River Nelson Lake 151 Craft Beverage Trail Wintergreen Resort Charlottesville/UVA Forget something? There is an Exxon gas station with a convenience store and prepared foods less than .5mile from the entrance to Longview Retreat.

Sandy Bottom 1: WITH Table/FireRing

Great spot to camp! Felt secluded and peaceful, despite the road noise. Did not love having to book two sites to bring two vehicles, but was nice to have the space to ourselves (third site was not booked). Love how close it was to a brewery with good beer and beautiful views. Would love to go back by myself, but probably won't with a group since only one vehicle is allowed per site.

Crawfish Creek 1: WITH Tbl/FireRing

We had a great time on our trip! The site is well maintained and Lisa and Cory are very friendly and promptly responsive. My 4 year old loved playing in the small creek at the site we were at!

Crawfish Creek 1: WITH Tbl/FireRing

Great location to 151

Very good communication from hosts. Great location to 151 and all of the breweries and wineries along there. HIGHLY recommend checking out the brewery across the street it is very cool and has live music and food trucks. Only downside was there was some road traffic! But nothing unmanageable.

Crawfish Creek3: NO Table/FireRing

Great campsite! It was easy to find, even in the dark, and was a great place to let the dogs run around.

Crawfish Creek

Crawfish Creek on Cory and Lisa's property was perfect. The weather from the past couple of days made it a bit wet/muddy and the grass being tall didn't help but it was still a great spot and even better time. Lisa was very responsive and helpful. She even went out to the campsite prior to us showing up to let us know where the dry spots were and also moved the tables & fire rings for us. I would highly recommend staying at Longview Farm. I would definitely come back. The little creek was awesome too. Helped fill our shower containers and sounded great at night while winding down. 👍
