Best in Virginia: Finalist

Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

This was a 55-acre farm, split in half to accommodate a bypass through Charlottesville, so the previous owners had to give up half the land, and actually moved the house down to the other half of the property! They had to build a land bridge to get to the new home site, so they turned the bridge into a dam and created a beautiful large swimming pond, complete with beach and gazebo. My wife Stephanie and I bought the property in early 2017 and have turned it into a private horse farm, adding pastures, a riding ring, and 6-stall barn. There are ~21 horses who live on the property. The property is unique in that you can hardly see another house from anywhere on the property and yet we are only 2 miles from Barracks Rd. Shopping Center, and 4 miles from the University of Virginia.

The campsite offers a tranquil escape with stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere, making it a favorite among visitors. Campers appreciate the spacious sites, picturesque sunsets, and the convenience of being close to Charlottesville while feeling secluded. Interaction with friendly animals like horses and donkeys adds to the charm. However, some guests noted issues with barking dogs at night and the shared bathroom facilities.

Site 5 - Ridgetop meadow

Our two nights on Bob’s property was such a positive experience- the meadow provided both expansiveness and privacy for ourselves and our two dogs, all traveling in our campervan. Bob greeted us when we arrived and was available at all times during our stay. Having access to a shower and bathroom at the house was a big plus! We loved camping amidst the horses, it was such fun to come up to the fences and get close. Highly recommend staying at this site!

We really enjoyed camping here. Our grandson is on UVA baseball team. We were only about 10 minutes from the University ballpark. The site was peaceful and quiet.

Site 6 - Remote tent site

We had an incredible stay at the farm. Our campsite (#6) was private and serene, only could see one tent in the far distance, everything else woods and nature. In the morning, we said hello to the horses and donkees, all so sweet and cared for...a little equine therapy to start the day. We will definitely be back. Also a plus, we had full cell signal at our site.

Site 5 - Ridgetop meadow

Our stay at Site 5 - Ridgetop Meadow at Private Farm Minutes to Cville was absolutely delightful. This spot is a hidden gem, perfect for anyone traveling through or to Charlottesville. The privacy was unmatched, and the property itself was stunning—such a beautiful place to camp. The peaceful meadow setting made it an ideal escape, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
