Beautiful example of the coastal chesepeak bays...perfect night on the waterfront. Roderick was extremely accommodating, yet non intrusive, thank you! I would stay here again without hesitation...be self sufficient though, it is primitive camping. Exactly what we were looking for!

I camp alone with a small truck camper and a fishing boat. I wanted a quiet site with Mobjack Bay access. This location is perfect. The first day the wind was high so I fished from the shore and his dock. At sun rise the following morning, I launched my boat on beautiful, calm water, and spent the morning exploring the area. I will come back often. I communicated with Rod when I arrived and he was helpful in selecting the best spot for current conditions. When I was leaving, he gave me fishing spots for my next trip.
