Pettigrew Wildlife Management Area, managed by Virginia DWR, draws tent campers looking for a low-traffic overnight spot with hiking access. Crowds are minimal. Before arriving, campers must obtain both a daily ($4) or annual access permit through the Virginia DWR website and a separate WMA camping license, which is free. The hike-in, walk-in access keeps the site quiet, and campfires and pets are permitted. Those exploring camping near Rappahannock Academy will find few sites with this level of solitude at this price point.
