40 acres hosted by Katherine I.
The land was marched across by Civil War soldiers on ther way to Gettysburg. They were on their way from Brandy Station to cross the Rappahannock River at Kelly's Ford. Much later there were horses in the fields, a well and spring were hand dug, a pond created and slowly buildings were built and expanded, but no barns as it was not really farmed. This meant no chemicals have been used on the land for over 60 years and perhaps ever. The plan is to keep it organic, but do something with it. Ideas are welcome. Relic hunters have found confederate bullets, a belt buckle and an early 1900 Ford logo. Fresh eggs and seasonal vegetables maybe available. Indoor games, frisbees, and horseshoes as well as paper for fire starting in the bathhouse.

Beautiful location. Quiet. Great showers. Lots of space. The host took care of an issue we had unprompted. Would recommend

Katherine was a great host. The site was as anticipated. Not secluded but good for our needs for the weekend.

Was pretty wet and soft the ground, wouldn't consider it "primitive or private" as it states.

My wife and I had a great experience tent camping on Katherine’s land. It was just private enough to feel unbothered but close enough to Katherine’s house and some other campers to not feel isolated. Katherine welcomed us when we arrived to help us with our questions and then left us alone the rest of our visit.
