Camping for the Whole Family!
This campsite was amazing for the whole family adults, kids, and dog had a blast. We were able to play in the creek, with a zip line during the day and listen to it run at night while we sat around a camp fire. Russ was an amazing host and we couldn’t ask for better we would definitely come back.

#2 - tent at creek, beach, zipline
Best spot so far!
AHMAZING SPACE! We absolutely loved it! We will be back! We were so lucky to be the only campers so we had the whole place to ourselves! BTW if you are into mountain biking DEFINITELY take your bike! He has awesome trails to walk or ride !! We actually exhausted the dogs. The hosts clearly have an awesome sense of humor, be sure to look for the gnomes! Side note: if you’re not from VA please note early April can be “iffy” camping but we still absolutely loved it! (We are from VA so we expected some weather challenges lol.) We absolutely highly recommend this host and his property … we can’t say enough how much we loved the land. We have used the app before and so far this is our absolute favorite spot!

McFender Bell Tent
Fathers Day weekend
Russ’s land was the ideal retreat for a Fathers Day weekend. The glam ping is spacious and comfortable, with a great view from the deck. The creek is a short walk and is great for cooling off. After a fun day of walking the trails and exploring the property, we spread our blanket in the clearing in front of the tent and enjoyed the clear night sky.
