Happy Halloween from the river. 🎃👻

If you're out here tonight: the fire pits are the move, the dark is genuinely dark, and the fog on the water does most of the work for you.

And tomorrow, ten minutes up Route 5, is one of the biggest days in Charles City all year: the Virginia Thanksgiving Festival at Berkeley Plantation , Sunday Nov 1, marking the first official Thanksgiving in America, held right here in 1619. Food, history, and a whole lot of people.

November on the Chickahominy: quiet mornings, cheap rates, and the county's best day happening down the road.

Take a 40-second drone tour of River’s Rest Marina & Resort, from the front entrance through the RV park and down to the boat slips on the Chickahominy River. 🚁

We’re a waterfront RV resort and marina in Charles City, Virginia, about 35 minutes from Richmond, with Williamsburg and Jamestown just down Route 5. Pull in, set up, and the river’s right there.

October is the best-looking month out here: cool nights, quiet sites, and the cypress turning along the water.

The Hunter's Moon rises one week from tonight. 🌕

October's full moon gets its name from the season after the harvest, when the fields were bare, the game was fat, and the moonlight was bright enough to hunt by.

Out here it just means the river turns to hammered gold for a couple of hours, and everything on the dock stops talking.

Sunday, Oct 25 and Monday, Oct 26 are both good nights to watch it come up. Book the night, bring a chair and something warm.

The Virginia Capital Trail runs right past us. One week from today, a few thousand people are going to run on it. 🏃‍♀️🍂

Saturday, Oct 24: the Dominion Energy Cap Trail Classic. Half marathon, 10-miler, 5K, and a Mummy Mile for the kids, all on the 52-mile paved trail that connects Richmond to Jamestown and passes through Charles City.

Racing? We're 35 minutes from the start and a much better place to wake up than a hotel parking lot.

Not racing? The trail is open every other day of the year, flat, paved, and gorgeous right now. Bring the bikes.

Fire pit season is officially open. 🔥

There's a stretch of about six weeks where sitting outside after dark in Virginia is genuinely perfect. Not sweating, not shivering, just a fire and the sound of water doing its thing twenty feet away.

We've got the pits. We've got the picnic tables. You bring the marshmallows and somebody who tells good stories.

It starts next week. 🍁

Virginia's foresters put peak color in eastern Virginia at October 20–31, which means the last two weekends of October (Oct 24–25 and Oct 31–Nov 1) are the two best-looking weekends of the year on this river.

Cypress goes rust. Maples go loud. The water reflects all of it and doubles it.

This photo is ours, taken right here, late October. No filter needed.

📅 Those two weekends book out first. Just saying.

Ten minutes from your campsite: a 300-year-old house, a corn maze, and a lantern. 🏮🌽

Berkeley Plantation is right up Route 5, and October is its month.

🌽 Corn maze & pumpkin patch: open daily through November, picnic tables overlooking the James.
🏮 Twilight Ghost Tours: Oct 16 & Oct 23. A guided walk through the 1726 mansion and its hauntings, then lantern-light through the gardens and cemetery, finishing with a trip through the corn maze in the dark. $24.95, reservations required.

Worth knowing: Berkeley is where "Taps" was composed and where the first official Thanksgiving was held. The history here is not a gimmick.

Stay with us, drive ten minutes, be spooked, come home to a fire. 👉 Link in bio to book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ September's review of the month. 💙

We pick one every month and post it exactly as it was written. No edits, no trimming it down to the flattering half.

Thank you for taking the time. It means more than you'd think.

Reviews are how people find a place like this. If you've stayed with us, leaving one takes about two minutes. And if you haven't, the river's right here.
