We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed.
You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well.
We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest.
Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

Escape the chaos of everyday life and experience true relaxation at our hidden gem glamping site! The Indian Rail Trail, Charles County's most exciting recreational trail, is just a 7-minute drive from your tent. This paved, 13-mile-long, ten-foot-wide path is an excellent excursion for bikers of all ages, connecting the small town of Indian Head on the Potomac River to White Plains. The fairly level trail takes riders through mature forests, natural wetlands, and some farmland. During your stay, you can also take a 10-minute walk through the forest on our property to visit a serene creek.
Your Signature campsite accommodates up to 6-10 campers. The basic booking includes space for 4 campers, with 2 sleeping on the Queen Bed in the platform safari tent and 2 sleeping in bags on the floor. The site also features a picnic table, fire pit, and Adirondack chairs where you can relax and stargaze at night.
Atlantic Kayak Company is a 20-minute drive from the site, offering kayak rentals and guided expeditions. For families, Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a fun activity less than a 10-minute drive from the campsite. A Walmart is conveniently located about 10 minutes away for any supplies you may need, and local produce can be obtained on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the La Plata Farmer's Market (12 min drive) between April and November.
The Road To Serenity: Our road is a quaint old country farm road made of grass and a few gravel patches here and there. It is a bit of a bumpy ride, so take it slow and easy as you make your way to our hidden getaway. There is one sharp left turn over a culvert and some dips and mild inclines, so low-sitting vehicles should definitely take it slow. The road narrows as you get closer to the site, but there are reflectors along the way to keep you on the right path. We highly recommend arriving before dark.
Parking: Parking is on the grass meadow between the entrance to the meadow and the walking path to the campsite. Reflectors are in place to outline the parking area. Avoid driving beyond the parking area and down steep inclines in the meadow, as softer ground presents a risk for getting stuck. A gorilla wagon is available in the parking area to help transport your belongings to the campsite.
Toilet and Shower Set-up: There is a privacy tent that contains a toilet seat over a bucket. Place a bag with absorbent materials in the bucket for your biological needs. A portable automatic shower providing hot water is also available.
Pets: For the safety of your pets, ensure that they are treated for ticks prior to camping. Be sure to check for ticks before bringing pets into the tent.
Noises and Sounds: This property is located in a rural community, and campers may occasionally experience common city noises such as airplanes flying overhead, distant traffic, or distant firearm shots. It is a great site for city dwellers who enjoy tranquility but not complete silence.

Enjoy rustic charm with a splash of modern comfort in our cheerfully renovated RV—still rocking its 1999 disguise on the outside, but don’t be fooled! Inside, it’s glamping magic: bright, cozy, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some).
Whip up meals with our charcoal grill, griddle, or two-burner stove—inside or out. You’ll find dishes, utensils, seasonings, blankets, board games, and even complimentary coffee (best enjoyed with a curious chicken nearby).
Nestled on our 6-acre homestead, this peaceful escape offers sunrise views, star-filled skies, and a fire pit, swing, and table for relaxing outdoors.
Want more adventure? We’re just 15 minutes from Williamsburg. We are also fortunate enough to have many parks and outdoor activities to choose from. We're only 12 minutes from York River State Park, which has a gorgeous river shoreline. The York River is known for its rare and delicate environment, where freshwater and saltwater meet to create a habitat rich in marine and plant life. You can hike, bike, kayak, raft, and more. They even hold classes on fossils!🦴
You can also meet our goats and geese, and we sometimes have fresh eggs for sale—just ask! 🐐🥚
All you have to bring is yourself (well and maybe some snacks)!

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this beautiful farmhouse loft near the South Anna River.
Outdoor features include a wooded lawn, walking trails with river access, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit.
Indoor amenities include a comfortable queen-sized bed, a kitchenette, a washer/dryer, hot shower, a TV, free WiFi.
Just 15 mins west of historic Ashland, this countryside getaway is perfect to relax after a long week, but close enough to explore the dining options in town.
This space offers a tranquil and rejuvenating escape from the busyness of your daily routine. You can unwind in the peaceful surroundings of the wooded lawn out front, relax under the birches or the old pear tree, take a walk by the Japanese maple, or bask in the shade of the giant European Beech. You can even show off (or work on!) your green thumb by planting something in the constantly evolving Guest Garden.
Or... simply spend a lazy day down by the river with a good book, and cozy up by the campfire on a chilly evening. With comfortable amenities and gorgeous outdoor spaces, this retreat promises a relaxing and refreshing stay that guests won't soon forget.
You'll find a map in the Welcome Book as soon as you get here. Most of the trails (all pictured) you can access, but there are a couple trails we ask you to avoid for privacy reasons. It will be more clear when you arrive!

Serenity - Privacy - Beauty - This little house by the water has it all. New Sealy queen-size mattress, well-equipped kitchen, Cuisinart coffee maker, full oven, glass-topped stove, new refrigerator, and fully screened porch with water view. Perfect for 1 or 2 adults looking to get off the grid and recharge. In St. Mary's County, MD, just 90 minutes south of Washington DC. However, the space is small and it is really a studio apartment as I think the pictures make evident.
Guest access
Your own kitchen, your own screened porch, our dock, bird watching (eagles, hawks, osprey, martins, bluebirds), deer, rabbits, occasional foxes, wild turkeys, and if you are fortunate, peacocks. St. Mary's City is 40 minutes away and there are numerous restaurants accessible within 20 minutes even though we are out in the hinterland, there are 2 local bars where live bands play on a regular basis within a 10-15 minute drive.
Other things to note
This is a warm and cozy space, just perfect for relaxing. There is a bookcase full of books on a variety of subjects, from escape reading to serious philosophical essays, and the water is on view 24/7. There is also a VHS player and more than 40 movies available. There is no cable or WiFi access but most phones work here. Reception for T-Mobile is not so good

Escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this beautiful farmhouse loft near the South Anna River.
Outdoor features include a wooded lawn, walking trails with river access, Adirondack chairs, and a fire pit.
Indoor amenities include a comfortable queen-sized bed, a kitchenette, a washer/dryer, hot shower, a TV, free WiFi.
Just 15 mins west of historic Ashland, this countryside getaway is perfect to relax after a long week, but close enough to explore the dining options in town.
This space offers a tranquil and rejuvenating escape from the busyness of your daily routine. You can unwind in the peaceful surroundings of the wooded lawn out front, relax under the birches or the old pear tree, take a walk by the Japanese maple, or bask in the shade of the giant European Beech. You can even show off (or work on!) your green thumb by planting something in the constantly evolving Guest Garden.
Or... simply spend a lazy day down by the river with a good book, and cozy up by the campfire on a chilly evening. With comfortable amenities and gorgeous outdoor spaces, this retreat promises a relaxing and refreshing stay that guests won't soon forget.
You'll find a map in the Welcome Book as soon as you get here. Most of the trails (all pictured) you can access, but there are a couple trails we ask you to avoid for privacy reasons. It will be more clear when you arrive!

Little House by The Water
13. Little House by The Water
24mi from Tappahannock · 1 site · Lodging
Serenity - Privacy - Beauty - This little house by the water has it all. New Sealy queen-size mattress, well-equipped kitchen, Cuisinart coffee maker, full oven, glass-topped stove, new refrigerator, and fully screened porch with water view. Perfect for 1 or 2 adults looking to get off the grid and recharge. In St. Mary's County, MD, just 90 minutes south of Washington DC. However, the space is small and it is really a studio apartment as I think the pictures make evident.
Guest access
Your own kitchen, your own screened porch, our dock, bird watching (eagles, hawks, osprey, martins, bluebirds), deer, rabbits, occasional foxes, wild turkeys, and if you are fortunate, peacocks. St. Mary's City is 40 minutes away and there are numerous restaurants accessible within 20 minutes even though we are out in the hinterland, there are 2 local bars where live bands play on a regular basis within a 10-15 minute drive.
Other things to note
This is a warm and cozy space, just perfect for relaxing. There is a bookcase full of books on a variety of subjects, from escape reading to serious philosophical essays, and the water is on view 24/7. There is also a VHS player and more than 40 movies available. There is no cable or WiFi access but most phones work here. Reception for T-Mobile is not so good

Susan was quick to respond for confirming the booking. This was my second stay at Peace Hill and I had a wonderful time. I stayed at Site 3 and it is very flat and close to the Lafayette Hall where there are bathrooms with showers and a kitchen. The site faces the owners main house and horse ring. If you want more privacy, pick the sites on the other side of the Lafayette Hall. I loved walking the property and visiting the farm animals!

Peace Hill is a beautiful working farm which provided plenty of level space to camp. There is plenty of room to load and unload tow vehicles. The generous permission to use the community center kitchen and bath were outstanding perks. For bicycle enthusiasts, its proximity to the Capital Bike Trail Charles City Parking area was a bonus. For tourists, it is close to Jamestown and Williamsburg. I loved watching the exercising of the horses. The friendly waves of those feeding the farm animals made me feel welcome. Susan was very accommodating when I had to leave early due to snow. I will definitely revisit this site when in the area.
FYI: I found it best to put Peace Hill Fellowship in when goggling directions so I wouldn't end up at the Bed & Breakfast.

Weekend Trip to Blanchard Farm
My favorite part of the property was the fun little things to do. Rope swings, hammocks, hunting stand to climb. It was fun to be walking around the woods and come across random little things. The yurt sites were very private and provided your own space for relaxing. I was the only one camping this weekend, but they still seem spaced out enough to feel secluded. Definitely more space than what is given between lots at a state park.
Josh and his wife were both very kind and helpful. I have a hard time packing too much around due to health issues, and Josh was kind enough to put me in the closest yurt and help me with the firewood I purchased. The yurt is spacious and gives you a home away from home feel while still being in the outdoors and leaving things like electricity away. I will definitely be back! Thank you so much for such a great trip.

2 nights at Anvil Campground
It was a very good experience for our first hip camp experience. The bed was super comfortable. The temperature control air circulation in the cabin was great. The bathroom and showers were really clean and nice.

We really enjoyed our stay at Anvil Campground. The place was very well planned out, neat and tidy. The host was a great source of very helpful information about how to navigate between the local attractions. The bus stop at the campground provides great service to Williamsburg.

Simple family friendly and family run campground with all the needed resources.
We don’t use any of the resources of the full fledged resort campgrounds. But Busch Gardens is just a few miles away if that is what you want.
We stayed two extra days to better explore Colonial Williamsburg and the other historical sites - our main goals for this stay.

Darlene's land was a perfect hip camp. Usually my dogs and I hit the hay at nightfall, but Darlene's camp has an electric pole with a light, a screened tent with a table and chair, and an extra electric plug (recharge phones) - it was private and serene - plus Darlene was a FANTASTIC communicator, who meets you there to show you how the compostable toilet works, where to get firewood, etc. - then leaves you your privacy. Only a small disclaimer for travelers with dogs, IF you have a reactive dog (as one of mine is) there is quite a bit of wildlife noise in the woods. Highly recommend this hipcamp.

I had a beautiful experience here. Darlene was so generous with her flexibility and understanding of my circumstances. I came here looking for a bit of healing and quiet. I stayed under the gazebo and enjoyed the spa twice! The property is so lovely and magical. I felt held by the trees and Darlene even helped guide me through some of the strong emotions I was experiencing. Such a beautiful experience. I will be back soon.

The site was quiet and beautiful. We really enjoyed walking the farm and seeing the animals. I caught my first Bluegill in the lovely fishing pond. I would definitely recommend Peace Hill Farm if you’re looking for peace and quiet in a rustic rural setting.

Had a great and relaxing weekend here with my dog. Great vibes from the whole place and Darlene is very helpful while leaving us to do our thing. Enjoyed exploring the area, but can be a little rugged. Hope to come back!

Such a well-maintained campground! The staff were super friendly and I just kept being so impressed by how clean everything was. Every single time I went into the bathroom, day or night, it looked as if it had just been wiped down. The pool was nicely warm and relaxing, and even though I didn't travel with kids, I think it's great that they had a playground and all kinds of different activities for them. I don't usually look for electric hook up when I travel, but this was a nice luxury this time. Would definitely stay here again!

Just needed to park my car and sleep in it and this was easy to come and go. Several amenities but I didn’t use the firepit or even walk the property. Spacious and was mostly unbothered my whole stay. Thanks for being accommodating.
