Within a 60-minute drive from the Swift Run Gap Entrance Station.
Less than 5 miles from Downtown Charlottesville and 7.5 miles from UVA lies a quiet and peaceful 3+ acre lake on 27 acres with multiple flat areas for tent camping and 2 areas for an RV. Both full and partial sun and shade can be found. Outhouse available or BYO. Multiple campfire locations, or make your own. Excellent fishing for trophy largemouth bass, crappie and bluegill or sit by the waterfall and enjoy a book or picnic. Optional: chairs, tables, propane range, charcoal grill, picnic style grill large enough for whole hogs, 10x10 shelter, 5 gallon water tanks with spigots.This site is a flat grassy space with creeks on 2 sides and the lake on the other. There is enough space for as many as 8 2-person tents and guests can enjoy 1 acre and the lake to themselves. Fire ring for campfires. Just a short walk to fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, crappie and blue gill. Pit toilet nearby or bring your own toilet.

We loved our overnight camp at Ben's space! He was quick to respond to messages and met us shortly after arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. It was a great first camping spot for our two young daughters that was quiet and secluded. It was a quick drive from Charlottesville and a great place to escape without having to drive a long distance. Thanks so much!

Staying the night on Ben's land was awesome. Their house is right up the hill so plenty of privacy when staying at the site. Add on some firewood because you get plenty for the fire pit. Beautiful area, pretty pond, and cute dog sui would definitely give some pets to again! Overall great and friendly would definitely recommend.

Awesome Stay!
Awesome spot! Super quaint and remote feeling but hardly 10 mins from the action at is downtown CVille. We went to a concert at the local Amphitheater Downtown and it took us less than 15 minutes.
