Sharp's Island

NEW IN 2025: There is a beautiful cabin for guests to use. Sleeps 5 easily. Also new is the outdoor kitchen and bar. Check out @sharpsislandrva on Insta to see pics!

NOTE: The parking situation has changed due to construction! The parking information in the pictures is not correct (but Hipcamp won't let me delete them). Contact Andy at 804-212-6639 for parking instructions. There is no bridge to Sharp's Island, but we can rent you a canoe or kayak. It's super easy.

Sharp's Island is so named because the Sharp family of Richmond owned it as far back as the 1850s. The old brick foundation you see in the pictures is all that remains of a house that was built on the island in 1895 and stood for 75 years! We consider ourselves stewards of an amazing historic, ecological, geologic, and recreational asset, and we would love to have you add your story to this island's long history! 

Learn more about this land:

One-of-a-kind really only begins to describe 1-acre Sharp's Island! For starters, this is the only legal camping option in the city of Richmond. You read that correctly. This is your own private island, and it's right in the heart of downtown RVA! The Piedmont meets the Coastal Plain right here at Sharp's Island. That makes for amazing fishing, especially during the spring shad and striper runs.&nbsp;

Some other incredible things about camping at Sharp's Island: You can motor up to it from Ancarrow's Landing, canoe over from the trail just below Mayo Bridge, or make this the destination for your downriver raft/kayak trip; at summer river levels there are oodles of great swimming holes along the banks; fire pit ready and waiting for you. And lots more!

There are so many rocks and cool areas to explore!

2nd40 to 420 - The Farm

The Farm was originally named 2nd 4o by my parents. They planned to live the 2nd forty years of their lives together on the farm. My parents both grew up on the southside of Chicago - where having a tree in your yard meant that you had "made it". They decided to use the land to grow Christmas trees. This did not last long :)  but the saplings my dad planted by hand are still here & maybe 70' tall!

Then my husband & I bought The Farm in 2017 for the 2nd forty years of our life & my parents built their little house right here. My husband and I immediately knew that our dream was to grow a different kind of "tree", so in 2019 we were among the first group to receive our license to grow hemp. We are passionate about both the hemp and cannabis plants!

 In 2020 when it finally became legal to grow cannabis, we immediately added that to our garden as well and 2nd 40 to 420 was born, or shall I say planted. We currently rent out our 2 RV's 3 Yurts & primitive sites , we also offer group bookings & Canna-friendly B&B options.  We plan to add septic & electric hook-ups for RV's in the near future.

Come join us in Growing our Dreams!

First Feather

It gives me much satisfaction in working to clean up this land.  I appreciate your support by staying here, and I look forward to the opportunity to offer memories that can be remembered with fondness.  While staying here, you may use my bathroom in my house if you need.  I recommend bringing all the things you would bring if you were camping in the woods far from society.  However, I do have a tent for two, including mattress pads and sleeping bags you may use.  Otherwise, this is a relatively primative site (for now 😉).

This is the bathroom inside my house that your welcome to use.

We live in a county with a great Amish community. They sell wonderful produce and baked goods nearby.

Ammon Creek Farm

Ammon Creek Farm was started as a wedding venue in 2017 with 70 acres of open land surrounding a small lake.
