Short-term Camp Outs

Southeast of Charlottesville, Virginia

In honor of the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as the Feast of Ingathering, bring your tent or RV (or some other temporary dwelling) and camp out with us in Central Virginia.

Lodging locations are free of monetary charge, and we do our best to keep the meals’ monetary cost low.

These are cooperative community-operated stays with daily chores to manage onsite communication, food, water, waste & energy needs.

And these are community-led with activities planned for and by the community. (Participation in any activity is voluntary.)

Natural resources on this 16-acre private homestead include open pastures, a stocked fishing pond, and a wooded lot backed up to a nature preserve.

On-site livestock include: a variety of cows, goats, chickens, ducks and rabbits.

On-site facilities include a community center for fellowship, assorted activities and dining, adjacent to a three-story tree house and playground area, and a weight room.

Nearby attractions include: the Rivanna River, the James River, Monticello, and Ash Lawn-Highland (the historical homes of Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, respectively). If you’re interested in making a day trip to one or more of these locations during the event, please let us know.

We’d love to have you camp with us! If interested, please send an email to Carrie-at-Messyanic-dot-com.
