Ok for a quick trip

This was our first trip here. First let me say it was very clean. We came for the last weekend of their season and there were few campers. The area has some pretty water views, nice large Oak, Maple and Poplar trees, and lots of paved area to walk. There is a nice playground for children.

There was only one bathhouse open, however several Porta Johns were scattered throughout the campground. (Not pleasant when it was 30 degrees overnight). The bathrooms were clean.

The shower left SO MUCH to be desired. First, the shower head is on the ceiling which is about 10 feet tall. There is a push button to turn water on (no temp adjustment) and it only allows 36 SECONDS of water before it shuts back off. (I timed it several times after showering) The water is Lukewarm. There are no hooks near the shower area to hang towels, washcloths or a shelf to set your shampoo, soap, etc.

The beach area is small with a concrete ledge next to the water. It didn’t look very safe for small children. There are NO CAMPFIRE RINGS or CHARCOAL GRILLS, except at the cabins. Huge drawback.

There is a very busy main road just across the water that is noisy. You hear traffic late into the night.

If you’re looking to make a short trip or need a quick overnight stay it is pleasant enough, however if you want to get away from it all and enjoy nature I would recommend Lake Anna state park.
