    Cozy Acres Campground RV Resort

    cute - family oriented

    only planned on staying a night but ended up staying for two.

    had the most unique store filled with actual tools/useful equipment and ANTIQUES!! so cute and LOVED the game room - definitely the best options we’ve seen so far HOWEVER it closed the same time as store hours so timing was extremely awkward.

    bathhouses appeared super nice at first but were filled with water by the end of the day - absolutely disgusting to stand in other people’s shower water. water pressure was also insane haha.

    defo family oriented …. super friendly though.

    also have to call to book

    very friendly camp hosts!! helped us avoid hurricane erin

    South Forty RV Resort & Campground

    Great overnight spot

    Perfect location right off of I-95. Spot we had was spacious and easy to get in and out of. I arrived after hours, but had my reservation hanging on the wall for me. Ground was pretty level and hookup was easy. We only stayed overnight, as we continued farther south. The bathrooms were clean and there was a friendly maintenance guy who offered to take our garbage to the dumpster for us. It was “part of the treatment” he said. Gotta love that Southern Hospitality. Will definitely stop here again as I make this trip quite often.

    Martin's Landing Camp

    Great Fishing Private sites

    The sites are spread out and have privacy. All but 1 site is waterfront. You can drift from your site. There are inflatables for rent. Two Porta potties on sight. There is a long walking trail and free Kayaks

    James River Wildlife Management Area

    Worth the drive for the solitude

    I was unsure if I was in the right area. I never saw another person camping, but I did get out of my rig and ask a couple of people that were using brush hogs to mow with and they said Yep come on down here and just park wherever you want to as long as it’s not within 300 feet of the boat put in. Everything else is fair game, it’s for me being in the 29 foot classy. I opted to park it in a field/parking area at the entrance. I was the only one here all day.

    Picture Lake Campground

    Wonderful place

    We absolutely loved this park. We came here to dive at Lake Phoenix (they have a no pet policy this year) and have our pup with us. The staff was so nice. We were close to the front. They have full hookups. The sewage was a little weird to hookup but we figured it out. They have a bathhouse (we didn't use) a nice pool, laundry facilities, a little store, and trash in the back. The lake is beautiful and this was close to a lot of things. The front spot is are fully paved and require minimal leveling

    James River State Park Campground

    Lovely Primitive Campground

    I enjoyed my stay in this wooded campground. The sites were equipped with fire rings and picnic tables and level, gravel areas to park cars In front of your site. You couldn't pull your car into the site because of the wood bollards but I think that is a good thing.

    There was a set of 2 well-maintained pit toilets. A Creek ran nearby the campground and there were options for trails. The campsites were well spaced apart.

    Small Country Campground

    Hidden Gem

    This campground is underrated! Found this place by accident. Don’t let the name fool you, this place is the largest camp resort in the area. It has everything even a small grocery store.

    Powhatan State Park Campground

    Clean and quiet

    Booked last minute on a Wednesday night they had two openings. Sites are very spacious and good distance between other campers. Nice privacy. Large Bath house dump stations were great. Some sites were very level. We were on site seven which was very long but very unlevel. .

    Powhatan State Park Campground

    Clean, quiet, friendly campground

    This is our second stay here. It is quiet and always clean, pet and family friendly. Trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. And if that’s not enough, you can go down to the river and fish, kayak/canoe or go boating.
