One of the best sniff spots in central VA. Lots of space for pups to romp with different kinds of terrain (wooded, field, pond, creek, etc). Host was communicative and accommodating. We will be coming back soon!

Best spot hands down! What a wonderful host. Not only is her property immaculate and beautiful, but she has stations set up with first aid, clean towels for wet pups etc. Just exceptional in every way. Our doberman had the absolute best time. We will be back!

If your dog is anything like our Sadie, they will LOVE this place. Open areas, trails in the woods, a creek to play in. What more could a dog want. Plus for the two-leggers, resting benches throughout. Really is a great SPOT.

This spot was so beautiful and very well kept! I really liked how it had various parts such as the open fields, wooded trails, and creeks. Lots of open space for my dogs to roam and smell all the smells. My dogs had a blast, so we will definitely be coming back soon!!

This was absolutely my favorite Sniffspot to date! Very well marked trails that you can’t get lost on and lots of things for my dog to sniff and explore and jump over. Hope to be back very soon. Camille- thank you so much for sharing this property with us -it is a dream!

We had a blast here! My aussie, Luca, was looking forward to this trip! We came from Woodbridge and it was well worth the drive. The owner also provided a video with info on all the trails and directions that was super helpful. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again soon!

Highly recommend, the place was easy to find and our dogs love being able to run around and play with each other freely; they burn a lot of energy.

Our dogs had so much fun, there is a creek and walking trails they had the freedom to run and play with each other.

Awesome spot! Tons of land to explore. The property is very nicely maintained with wide open trails. Our dogs also loved the pond and creek. Location was easy to find. We will definitely be back!

This place was fantastic! Really like a private park. Next time I go I’m planning to stay for two hours so we can explore even more.

What a blessing that Camille has made her property available on Sniffspot. I love being able to hike with my dog off leash but she is dog reactive so even though she has great recall it’s not something I can really do in places where there’s a chance we might run into another dog. This is the perfect spot for giving her a chance to hike off leash. There were several different trails to explore and it was so nice and peaceful. Also, for the trails in the woods there are markings on some trees to help ensure you’re staying on the trail.

Another fantastic visit. Today was my dog’s birthday and coming here was a great way to celebrate her. She is so relaxed when she’s walking the trails here.

Amazing spot, can’t wait to come back throughout the winter and especially come spring and summer for the pond and greenery! I love the wide and clear trail paths, and mowed paths around the meadow area, and several benches/picnic tables throughout for chance to rest. Gumbo enjoyed racing through the trails and dipping in the creek stream. There’s a few parts of the trail with a tiny bit of incline/downhill so just had to encourage my pup to safely slow down for those parts. Thank you for generously sharing your property! And thank you for the photos of clear signage/instructions of where to go, that was helpful. Will always book a minimum of 90 minutes and probably more for future - there’s so much to explore!

Wonderful sniff spot. It was extremely clean. Trails, open areas to walk and even chairs to sit in. My dog and I had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Caitlin W.

This spot was beautiful! Lots of great paths to explore and very little noise (outside of nature noises), which was great for my anxious dog. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

If you enjoy hiking, this place is a dream come true. We had the best time following the trails around, and my dog loved finding water to splash in.

Kathleen D.

March 2025

Beautiful property with well defined paths. It was nice having peace of mind, knowing we were not going to run upon any other dogs. I will be definitely visiting again throughout the summer.

Marin B.

March 2025

Our favorite sniff spot! Plenty of room for the pups to romp, large, cleared trails, and the host kindly supplies a variety of amenities.

This park was so much fun for the dogs! I am glad that I brought them here. There is so much space, and it is peaceful; my pups loved it! Thank you so much for opening this space for us 🩷

I keep insect repellent in my car. I told myself as I started my drive that I needed to make sure I used it. Of course, by the time I got here I forgot. I took home two souvenirs (I found two ticks on me when I got home). So please don’t be like me and remember to use insect repellent. Anyway, still a great visit. Had a blast by the creek and then later I appreciated having a bench to sit on in another section while my girl got to continue playing.
