Northampton County Greenlights Backyard Rustic Campground in Cheriton

The Northampton County Board of Supervisors has approved a special use permit to establish a “backyard rustic campground” on Bayview Circle in Cheriton. 

The decision made unanimously during a recent meeting, follows a proposal submitted by Jason Hahn to create a unique camping experience with four permanent units on his property.

Hahn’s plan includes two recreational vehicles and two canvas tents, catering to visitors seeking a blend of outdoor living and comfort. 

Steve Rowe, who represented Hahn during the meeting, said that the property will also feature a communal dome, commercial propane fire pits, and two portable toilets maintained by Moore’s Portable Solutions.

According to an article published by Shoreland Daily News on January 16, the proposal garnered significant community support, with 10 letters submitted by neighbors and local businesses endorsing the project.

The county’s Planning Commission had reviewed and recommended the project for approval prior to the Board of Supervisor’s vote. 

Cheriton, located in Northampton County on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, showcases outdoor recreation and small-scale tourism ventures. Known for its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay and its landscapes, the town provides an ideal setting for projects like Hahn’s rustic campground.

The proposal highlights the importance of offering unique accommodation options like the “backyard rustic campground” by providing travelers with distinctive experiences that go beyond conventional lodging. By incorporating features like RVs, canvas tents, and communal spaces, campground operators and RV park owners can cater to diverse guest preferences, from those seeking rustic outdoor retreats to those desiring a blend of comfort and nature.
