Experience wasn't great on a property and wrote a review that just hit the good and bad, however,…read morethe review never made it on their site for other people planning to hunt to use as consideration for their hunt. Since it was not posted on their site, here is my review of hunting in December on Rhynalds Landing: The Rhynalds are very nice and communicate well when emailed. There is an active runway, so be prepared for planes to land and/or take off from the airfield. The description makes it appear as only 4 adults can be on the property per booking, however, multiple people were fishing at the pond during my hunt, which cut off fields of fire and potential spots to setup. An hour prior to sunset, a father and son, drove up in a truck and set up their own skeet range within close proximity to my left lateral limit, essentially rendering that field of fire from being used. The shotgun going off constantly shooting skeet, could have been a deterrent for deer to come out prior to last light. In the end, this was not what I was expecting when I choose this property, based on the reviews and description provided on the website. Outdoor Access did contact me apologizing for my experience, refunded my money, and offered to set me up on a different property, which I thought was a decent thing to do. This review isn't to cast a negative review on Outdoor Access or to say that your experience on the Rhynalds property will be bad. I just wanted my experience to be out there do others who come across it have a legitimate review to base their decision on.

Best place ever! I dream of being the caretaker of this camp…read more Great place for business events, family reunions, sending the kids off to camp, or just planning a getaway. The facilities are clean and they have many different rental options available. I planned a womens getaway for no reason other than to just get away. No kids. No men. No schedule. It was awesome! Camp Idlewild was the perfect destination. Inexpensive and AWESOME! Laying out in the field to star gaze in the middle of the night is my favorite. You can't get that view in Hampton Roads for sure! If you are looking for a place to hold a retreat of any kind, or just a day event, this is the place!

This was focused on water sports, so she spent a lot of time on the James River stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and swimming (in the pool). They even did archery, campfires, sang songs, learned to make bracelets, play games and much more! My daughter even loved the food. It was great that they even allowed her to bring green juices + probiotics (that needed refrigeration), so she could consume daily! This is part of her daily healthy regimen and I am so glad they were thoughtful enough to allow this. She came home with a lot of stories + journal entries! I was excited to read and listen to all of the camp experiences! Of course she's already excited for the opportunity to attend next year!

I want to start out with the positives. The staff are really nice people. Everyone working there seemed very responsive, kind and eager to please. I will also add that although old, the place is very clean. The value for the cost was very good. I paid $125 for Friday to Sunday at the motel and used the adjacent meeting room for our event. 3 meals were included at the very close by dining hall space. The meals included a nice little salad bar, several drink choices, and generally two choices of meal. Veggie meals available if requested. Meals included sliced ham and mac n cheese, baked fish or fried chicken with mashed potatoes, and pasta with meat or without meat sauce. Each meal included bread and a dessert choice from cheesecake to brownies. Meals are served at a specified time so it is not in any way a restaurant. Also the included meals are optional depending on the arrangements you pay for. The location is very serene. It is out in the middle of nowhere, or at least it feels that way. It is a precarious drive at night or if unfamiliar with the road, which was me, but I came and left safely. I stayed at the motel. The room was simple and makes Motel 6 look well appointed. There was a double bed and a single in our room, a basic desk, and 2 small red shade lamps that gave off a sort of red light district vibe. Heat was great in the room, as I was there in January. Overhead light was good. Parking was right outside the door for easy unloading. The bathroom is tiny with toilet seats set facing the tub like someone who won a Darwin award installed them, but the owners plan to change this as funds allow. Some rooms have already been 'upgraded.' The hot water is quick and plentiful. Towels are thin and sparse, and there is no maid service or towel changes, although I'm sure if one asked they would accommodate. There is no TV and they are just getting internet at the place. We had spotty internet access but I use my data no problem. The meeting room had fabulous light, clean bathrooms, good heat, comfortable conference chairs and light tables for ease of set up and take down. There is a full kitchen with all the basics so you could cook your meals right there if you wanted. The roads are pretty much dirt and it can become muddy in inclement weather. There is a path to walk from the conference room to the dining hall, about a 3 minute walk. The dining hall shares a space on Sundays for a religious service, as this is a popular location for religious sponsored youth activities. I am not particularly Christian and I felt comfortable there. I think it is because the place was serene and everyone was nice. They did not try to push any religion on me, although there are plenty of little inspirational signs about hope, faith, grace and all that. Those are all good things to have in any case. I really look forward to returning for a retreat activity in the future. I think it could make a great wedding venue except for how isolated it is for guests to navigate.

I was only nine years old when I paid my first visit to Eastover with my church and family. This is…read morea retreat center that offers its services to other churches or church gatherings such as men's and women's retreat, youth camping, church camping, or group conferences. Since my first visit, I've gone here almost annually or biannually especially when I was a teenager. I'd come here early in the summer for our Church's annual family camp and in the middle of the summer for Youth Camp when I was part of a youth group during High School. The last time I paid a visit here was nearly two weeks ago. I stayed here with the rest of my mom's church from Wednesday to Saturday. Like the rest of the church, we stayed in the "hotel" lodging area that's connected to the chapel. I've camped near the river once and stayed in the cabins a few times but their rooms are really nice. The water flow is constantly strong, there is always hot water, and the AC is strong as well. There's a gym area and pool near by but since this place is a retreat area open to multiple churches and community groups, it is customary for all groups to schedule the time they want to use the pool or gym. The church I went to cooked their own food in the chapel/communal room but I know that there's a cafeteria near by. There aren't refrigerators in the individual rooms so bring a cooler if you have to bring your own food. Rates depend on group and where you are staying (camp ground/hotel room/cabin) There are hiking trails too and plenty of room to do group activities. This camping facility is very clean and I think there's a reason why my parent's church keep coming back here yearly. Service is nonexistent here for most so keep that in mind. It's accessible because it's only an hour and a half away from the Hampton roads area (where I live) but whenever I'm here, I feel like I'm far away from everything.
