Many of you may remember us sharing Oakley and Flash and our dreams of them spending their summers at the campground. 🤍🐴

We lost our sweet girl and it’s been hard to find the words to post about it.

Oakley went through so much sickness as a youngster and endured several surgeries and hospital stays. Vets believed she had a brain tumor and should be put to sleep, but we took her to Penn State University for a second chance. There, they discovered an abscessed tooth that had grown the wrong way into her sinuses. Surgeons had to cut and lift a section of her skull to reach it.

That surgery gave us seven more precious years—and she was worth every mile, every worry, and every tear.

She grew up alongside our children and was family. We wish you could have met her at the campground. We still have Flash her soulmate and he looks for her each day.

This video is for you, sweet Oakley. Forever loved and deeply missed. 🤍

🌳 ANOTHER VIRGINIA COUNTY MAKES ROOM FOR OUTDOOR TOURISM. WHY IS STAFFORD STILL ILLEGALLY BLOCKING OURS?

Congratulations to Kevin and Laura Wilson on their new Campground - Camp Yellow Cardinal, their new glamping destination near Farmville! 💚

Prince Edward County granted their Special Use Permit in March 2025, allowing them to move forward with a business that will welcome visitors, support local jobs, and bring tourism dollars into the community.

Virginia is actively pushing to expand outdoor recreation, overnight accommodations, and family-friendly attractions. Projects like this show what that investment can look like.

Meanwhile, here in Stafford County, Crow’s Nest Outdoor Adventure has faced years of delays and a court battle approaching TWO YEARS over a campground permitted BY RIGHT under the ordinance when we applied.

👉 We did NOT need a Conditional Use Permit.

👉 Stafford demanded “TENTS ONLY,” despite the ordinance not saying that.

👉 The court has already ruled that the ordinance permitted uses beyond tents, including a travel trailer camp, camping RESORT etc , which debunked Stafford’s made-up, illegal demand.

👉 Yet we are still fighting to move forward with added roadblocks.

Stafford changed the ordinance to require a Conditional Use Permit—for a CAMPGROUND while our project was already in the approval process and nearing the end. Now, the issue is no one knows when our site plan ended or
If it ended or who ended it.

Stafford unlawfully blocked our by-right project, and we are continuing that fight in court. Just a few weeks ago, we were given yet another delay in court.

A thorough, independent investigation into what happened behind the scenes in Stafford is long overdue.

We all know what we found through FOIA: behind-the-scenes communications, including the EDA’s own attorney, Charlie Payne, asking Stafford to deny our site plan. This is the attorney over Stafford Tourism.

That same attorney was also communicating with our chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Deuntay Diggs, about what changes needed to be made to the ordinance we were under.

All while our site plan was still alive.

The public deserves to know who influenced the handling of our campground, why the county demanded restrictions its ordinance did not contain, and how those decisions led to 3 years of delays and costly litigation.

Who was involved, who made the decisions, and whose interests were being served? Stafford taxpayers deserve answers.

We’re happy for the Wilsons. Their progress makes our question even louder:

Why must we spend years fighting for a use Stafford’s own ordinance already permitted?

Virginia is moving outdoor tourism forward. Stafford should be part of that progress.

👀 ALL EYES ON STAFFORD COUNTY.

Subject: Please hear - Outdoor Recreation Opportunity Stalled in Stafford, Virginia

Dear Ms. Barrar,

I am reaching out in support of Crow’s Nest Outdoor Adventure Camping Resort in Stafford, Virginia, to bring this family’s story to your attention.

This family-owned outdoor tourism project was submitted under Stafford’s by-right campground ordinance nearly three years ago. The project completed all its other required reviews, but Stafford withheld site-plan approval over a demand that the owners add “TENTS ONLY” to their plans—a restriction that was not in the ordinance.

A judge subsequently found that the ordinance permitted uses beyond tents and that the county improperly limited the campground’s use. Yet the project remains stalled, with further disputes coming from Stafford County which has kept the owners in court.

As their site plan approached expiration, the owners urgently hired an attorney and filed suit to protect their project. The plan reached its expiration date without county approval.

FOIA records uncovered behind-the-scenes communications involving county staff and elected officials about restricting the campground and changing the ordinance during the review process. Those records raise serious concerns about political interference by officials opposed to the campground’s location. The county ultimately changed campgrounds from a by-right use to one requiring a conditional-use permit.

Their page has grown to more than 12,000 plus followers just on one social media platform , and many of us want to see this opportunity for family recreation, tourism and local business move forward fairly.

As Virginia works to grow outdoor recreation, please consider meeting with the owners, reviewing their documentation and helping identify a path forward within your office’s role.

The obstacles facing Crow’s Nest Outdoor Adventure deserves your attention as you work to expand these opportunities across Virginia.

Thank you for listening.
