Winnington Farms is a spacious 45 acre piece of land just 15 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, and very close to many vineyards, breweries, and hiking! Set-up camp and explore the property with a 3-acre lake for fishing or kayaking and lots of walking, or scouting for wildlife. About Winnington Farms: We purchased this piece of land to escape from the bustle of the city, and wanted to share with others looking to do the same. The property is mostly wooded, but we have cleared areas near the lake and in the woods for camping and hiking, and just enjoying nature. Come pitch your tent and camp on one of two sites we have to offer by the lake! Nearby things to do: We are just under 5 miles from I-64 and 2 miles to Rt. 250, putting you in reach of Monticello, UVa, wineries, breweries, great food and experiences! Check out Merrie Mill Vineyard, Keswick Vineyards, Marigold by Jean Georges, or Castle Hill Cidery nearby! Other things to note: We have a few neighbors close by the lake, however the sites are private and blocked with trees. You will hear the wildlife sounds of birds, tree frogs, crickets and maybe the resident beaver as well as some light traffic from 1-64 (mostly fall and winter), but it’s largely peaceful and relaxing. We offer two campsites, so please keep in mind that while the sites are private, you may come into contact with other campers or hear them around the lake. Please be respectful of the property and others who may be around!

Lakeside Camp

Great one-night stay

We have a lovely stay at the site. First time camping with our 2-month-old, we wanted somewhere during a visit to Charlottesville close to the car in case we had to bail, and not completely out of civilization, but also not so close to other campers that crying in the night would mess up their sleep, and this was ideal, with a great firepit and beautiful small pond.

Lakeside Camp

While the site was beautiful and overall clean/well-maintained, the walk from the parking spot to campsite was pretty inconvenient; the kayaks were not in great condition, causing us to not be able to use them; and there was a tree leaning right above the seating area around the fire pit that seemed unsafe.

'Round The Bend

Great spot on the water! Quiet and relaxing. There’s one spot at this site that’s pretty flat for your tent. The rest of the side does slope toward the water a bit. Steep drive down to the camp site that can be slippery coming back up if it’s recently rained.
