Fantastic spot, very private and comfortable. Can't review the toilet facility as we brought our own. But the space, the views, the lake and the hosts were delightful.

My grandson and I had a marvelous time camping at Ben’s place. Cracked the code on what lures the fish wanted to chomp on, burned a lot of wood on two cold nights and chilly mornings, enjoyed the spectacular star filled night sky, and were grateful for Ben, Sarah, and AJ’s hospitality.

We loved our overnight camp at Ben's space! He was quick to respond to messages and met us shortly after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. It was a great first camping spot for our two young daughters that was quiet and secluded. It was a quick drive from Charlottesville and a great place to escape without having to drive a long distance. Thanks so much!

Staying the night on Ben's land was awesome. Their house is right up the hill so plenty of privacy when staying at the site. Add on some firewood because you get plenty for the fire pit. Beautiful area, pretty pond, and cute dog sui would definitely give some pets to again! Overall great and friendly would definitely recommend.

Wow! What a wonderful resting spot. So quiet and serene but still a short drive to town or UVA. Ben was an exceptional host and I will definitely come back again! The view was wonderful and all part or the serene theme.
