What to Expect? ** *"The Experience"***? It is just that. You can expect fine bed linen, a comfy electric heated blanket, scented candles, a spa-like ambiance, a heated wood-burning stove, various textures pleasing to the touch and eyes; and quiet with superb customer service.
***The 16' heated tent ***and the open communal area are where you'll spend the majority of your time either lying on the hammock with a throw next to the fire pit, sitting on the Adirondack chairs, playing corn hole, soaking in the hot tub, or staying inside listening to the rain while lying in bed and enjoying the sounds of the blue jays and crickets in a heated tent. There is a cute small refrigerator to store a few cans of soda or bottled water, a tea kettle to make your own coffee/tea/hot chocolate, a French press (coffee, creamer, and sugar provided) an electric double-burner to make a light breakfast, warm popcorn, etc. The Master Suite tent will include one Queen size bed covered with a Queen egg crate foam topper and may be draped in a well-fitted microfiber sheet set or 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, to make your sleeping experience like a fancy hotel in Times Square (you know the one with one letter).
- Queen-size electric blanket with dual remotes - Queen-size goose-down comforter - Burberry-style throws - Morrocan-inspired floor pillows - Leather chaise that contours to your body to lounge on - Electric heater on-site with fan and heat options - Wood-burning stove inside to heat tent (bring dried packaged firewood or purchase on-site) - Rugs on the floor - Outdoor shower water in the shower bag will be heated up prior to showering upon request (colder months) - 102 jet (2-4) person jacuzzi (enclosed deck)
Be advised there is a camera in the courtyard/tent area overlooking the courtyard and a motion sensor for added security on the premises, and the train track is a few blocks away and you will hear it at some point during your stay (typically 2000-2200 hours) but it adds a rural country feel along with the crickets orchestrating the woodsy sound.

Truly enjoyed this CG. Staff are very friendly and helpful CG is clean. Bathroom rooms are dated (compared to the ones at Twin Lakes State Park near Farmville, VA). The dump station is two-sided - helps on busy mornings when campers are leaving. Spent time touring the civil war sites around Petersburg. Lots of breweries in Richmond - a much needed place as a cold beer was very needed during the extreme heat occurring during my stay.

Probably a great place to camp during the fall. During the summer they lease space to the 4-H club that teaches people to shoot black powder muskets for the civil war reenactments. From 8:30am until 3-5pm it sounds like a gun range. It’s not a shot here and there, its volleys of black powder guns (think cannons) being shot all at once. It echos off the water and is the opposite of peaceful. The ranger said it would only be for an hour a day, unless it was a competition day, well for the 5 days we were there it must have been competition. We ended up leaving the park during the day.
The sites are good. Most need lots of leveling help (bring spare wood!). The newer part has a nice bathhouse. The older part had a really old bathhouse. (So old it’s hard to tell if it’s dirty or just old.)
It’s not a bad place to visit. But combat veterans should avoid during the summer months.
The sites are nice. The ones in the newer area (laurel ridge) are close to the nice bathhouse. Both bathhouses have WiFi. No cell service to speak of. (We have Verizon but most of these places have none.)

Like most Virginia state parks the River Bend campground is well spaced out and great for RV camping. Verizon service was stable enough to work all week with a Jetpack without the need for a directional cell booster
TravelerOur site was nice and level. Covered by shade the majority of the day. Playground was decent and pretty centrally located on the campground. Firewood for sale by QR code was convenient. The trails were nice and it was a nice walk to the aquatic recreation park. Access to the aquatic park is free for campers. The bathrooms were clean but the one close to my site the outside was falling apart. Don’t know how the camp store is because it is only open Thursday to Sunday and has almost different hours every day. Overall great campground we will be going back
LegendThis state park is amazing, it is close to the Richmond metro but allows an easy and wonderful retreat to nature. I was there in early June, and it wasnt crowded, though I can imagine it might be later in the summer. There are numerous camping options here, ranging from tent camping to RV’s to camper cabins to yurts, to regular full service glamping cabins, all in different sections. There is also an area set aside that could be rented for a group retreat or group summer camp, with groups of cabins around meeting space and dining hall area. The full service cabins are new and very upscale; the camper cabins are older but well maintained. The yurts are lovely too. I car camped in a standard site, all the campsites are wooded, shady, fairly private and well spaced. The park is huge and has lots of recreation, from miles of hiking and riding trails, biking and more. Very family friendly, with playgrounds, an incredible waterpark and pool, and nature programs at the visitor center. There is also a summer series of concerts etc in the park. Highly recommended!
Traveler
Bike packed in from my house yesterday evening, camped for the night, and heading back this morning. Shower/toilet facilities are clean, good water/power, etc. This park isn’t bad for just chilling out and getting some nature time in, but there aren’t any breathtaking views and so on. Most campsites are on a very slight slope, shouldn’t have any issues if you set up right.
Ranger
We stayed one night while traveling. Some spots appeared flooded but ours was not. Park appeared well kept.
RangerVery basic campground, nothing particularly exciting to do but has everything you need!
ScoutStayed just one night on our way to Maine. Nice, well-kept park and very friendly staff! Will definitely come back when we can stay longer. Stayed in a pull-through site with lots of space and privacy.
TravelerSuch a clean and well maintained State Park. Sites relatively level, surrounded by beautiful trees and well spaced out. Great hikes and gift shop at office.
ScoutReally quiet and spacious campground with two bath houses. A lot of trails to explore.
GuideA very well kept campground. Bathhouses are very clean and sites are well maintained. Sites are paved and not too close. Sites in the older section (red bud) will require leveling. As indicated on park web site there is no cell service in the park. WiFi is available outside the contact station

It was a great time and it did not have trash all over
Legend
We camped here for a couple of nights in February for my sister’s birthday. Super clean cabin, lots of dishes and pots/pans, and utensils. Our cabin had beautiful water views and access to the trails. Saw an albino squirrel! We loved our trip!
TravelerBeautiful campground in VA, nice people and great restroom and showers. They even had a dishwashing station, I am impressed.
Met some really nice people and had a lovely time. Nice lakes, beaches and grilling options with shelters.
GuideIt was Veteran’s Day a 3 day weekend…and boy was it full, even with the late season tropical storm blowing through later in the day! I guess it was busy because it is free on Veteran’s Day! Water and electric at each rv site, but water and 50 amp only in sites 66-129. (Dual dump station on the way out.) Host sites are #41 & 99 and can answer questions for you. Cabins and yurts also available for rent. Hike or mountain bike down to the lake for some fishing or scenic exercise. Camp store has ice, snacks, ice cream, camping games, and first aid supplies. Friendly store staff too! Separate laundry facility at the camp store.
TravelerThis park has great ranger staff at the gate and roads were well marked. The grounds were very well kept. Our site was fairly level easy to get into and pull through. The facilities for the bathroom were also very clean. I would definitely go back.
ScoutIf looking for a place to stay near Richmond with full reliable hook-ups this would service that need. Other then a pool on site and close proximity to Kings Dominion Park.
This is your typical KOA campground. Tight sites and no frills.
GuideWe stayed here for one night on our way to Acadia National park. The park was lovely, sites were pull throughs for our 20 foot pull behind. Although we did not get to explore much we enjoyed our time here. We would definitely come back to explore it further.
TravelerUnlike the campgrounds at other cedar fair properties, the Kings Dominion Campground is managed by KOA rather than the park itself. It's a perfectly fine park, friendly staff, well kept, good amenities, and there's a free shuttle running to and from the park. My only complaint and the reason this is only 4 stars is because they'll charge you an extra $20 for early check in, which is required if you want to go to the theme park at opening. Otherwise check in is at 2pm, well after the park gates are open and the lines have gotten longer.
GuideThe most convenient campground in proximity to Kings Dominion. Clean bathrooms, well maintained. Recommend the raised platform for folks with tents if it rains as the video will show.
GuideI stayed 4 nights in my Coleman 17b a rolling hills campground 20' max. Lake views and surrounded by hardwoods. Very nice gift shop with very nice staff. Cabins are available as is the archery range. Beautiful beach and surroundings make for a quite tranquil week stay.
RangerTwin Lakes State Park Campground is pretty small, but the sites were large and well spaced out. It was very shady and the sites were pretty level. There are a few trails and a beach on one of the lakes. People were also fishing from the banks of the lake and in boats. The bathhouse was very clean and well maintained. All in all a nice place to camp while riding on the High Bridge State Park Bike Trail and visiting Appomattox Courthouse.
GuideBig place, easy to find some solitude midweek. Crowded on weekends. Park is nice and clean
LegendThe campsites were private, well maintained, and shady. The facilities were also well maintained. Flush toilets and free hot showers were abundant.
With only 120 sites, the traffic and noise was acceptable. There was cell coverage for our Verizon phones. There was a nice playground for the grandkids, a small campground store, dry firewood, and friendly campground hosts.
The day use area is incredible and less than a mile walk through the woods on a hike/bike/crawl/stroller gravel surface. The day area includes awesome MTB trails, hiking trails, kayaking/fishing spots and a water park.
No doubt we will return to this Virginia State Park in the future!

Site A4 was pretty nice. Had enough space between my camper and the neighbors. The only downside was a utility hub somewhat in the middle of the site. The site itself was fairly level, had a brand new picnic table, and had a little gravel pad. Other sites closer to the pool were super close together. Luckily i only need 30amp and got a little more spacious site. The pool was nice but it was just missing the usual pool chairs to sun bath on. They had a few metal tables with chairs at each one. Minimal interactions with the staff. They seemed nice and respectful.
TravelerThis is such a great campground. It’s close to the interstate and super close to Kings Dominion theme park. There’s a free shuttle all day to/from Kings Dominion which made it nice so the teens could come and go as they please. The pool was very nice and the playground for younger kids was very popular from the looks of it. Our site was level and had a nice grassy area with trees for the hammocks. Staff was super friendly!!
