    Chickahominy Riverfront Park

    Lots to Do plus a Riverfront View!

    What could be better than camping and kayaking on a beautiful river? Maybe try fishing off the new pier or taking a bike ride on a nice long trail after visiting Jamestown or Colonial Williamsburg or Busch Gardens which are all within a very short driving distance! Or even a Ferry Ride across the river to a lovely waterside restaurant where you can experience delicious food and the most amazing sunsets! And no worries if you don’t have a tent or camper, because they have cozy yet roomy glamping tents available!We love camping at CRP! Everyone is always friendly and helpful! Facilities are always clean and well maintained. We have stayed in the spring as well as late summer without any problems. There is a camp store, two bath houses, and a convenient dump station. Playground and fenced pool. A boat ramp for motorized boats as well as a launch site for kayaks. Bring your own or rentals available. Looking forward to our next visit this Spring!

    Rappahannock River Campground

    Great Getway Spot

    Great spot right next to the Rappahannock River, plenty of place to set up camp. Had water on site with a fire pit and picnic table too! It was super easy to get down to the water and there was plenty of spots to explore. Would definitely go again!

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Great spot around Northern Virginina

    We were here for just one night during September. Our first time camping in the area and since COVID. Check in process was relatively simple, just pull up and pop out of your car to check in, with mask of course. We got a quick run down, some wood and a brochure with maps and area info. We were at site 133, non electric non water. I feel like the spots at the end of each loop might have slightly more privacy, but our site was fine. It included a picnic table and probably the best fire pit with grill that I've had in a while. It rained the night before we came, and the night we were there so the ground was pretty wet. Bathrooms had a sign for taking care with COVID precautions, and to wear your mask. Bathrooms were ok, but floors were a mess from muddy feet. Not much to be done about that. There were showers, and a dishwashing sink, plus laundry available. It's nice to know we've got a close spot to escape to if we don't have time to go far. This is a pet friendly campground. There's a lot to do out at the whole park, and its worth exploring (we just didn't have time). I'm sure its so pretty out near the water.

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Camping with your friends, whether you bring your own or not

    This review is specific to the non-electric tent sites.

    From a services available view, their staff is visible and around to help.  Bathrooms, "Comfort Stations", could use some cleaning more frequently but I've seen a lot worse.  Big trash bin near the comfort stations, convenient.   Definitely a well stocked camp store, its obvious they cater to beginner and family camping.  You are NOT permitted to use deadfall at this park, must bring locally purchased USDA wood yourself or buy from camp store.

    There are comfort stations and trash bins close to every non-electric camp site, an easy sub-200 yard walk for me, but that fact is also where my disappointment starts.  The non-electric camp sites in some cases, appear to share a single area, fire pits 10 feet apart from each other, one flat area, barely a full length truck can fit in the parking available at each site they are so close to the road.  If you whisper,  your neighbors will easily hear close.   A big part of camping for me is the peace and quiet of nature.  THIS IS NOT THAT CAMPSITE.  It is extremely compact and close to each other.  Snoring of your neighbor is definitely an issue no matter which site you choose, except for maybe 138 as was said in another review.

    The gravel road into the campsites,  is a RESIDENTIAL road.  Yes, there are houses at the end of the road these campsites are ON.  Not off of, on.  Now mostly that wasn't a big deal, cars moving through during the day, early evening.  But that one guy that sat with his high beams on pointed directly into my tent late night for a solid minute or two before loudly accelerating through was a bit irritating. 

    This was a weeknight trip, there was only one other camper in this small campground with me so all in all, not a terrible trip but definitely not worth the cost and will not be visiting here again.

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Good home base for exploring DC

    We stayed on the big loop on site 48. Unfortunately there wasn’t anything on ReserveAmerica specifying the water situation, so when we arrived we found that we didn’t have water hook up. I’m attaching a photo of the color map I got at checkout which specifies which sites have water.

    Bath house was cleaned regularly and was generally very clean (except footprints from people who came in while the floor was wet from mopping). Shower stalls and bathroom stalls were very small but water was hot. Laundry facility in the bath house, $2 per load, quarters. The camp store had most everything you could need and was open 8-8. Staff was all super friendly. They had numerous activities going on for kids.

    Definitely be prepared for bugs and ticks.

    Sites were shaded well but many didn’t have a lot of privacy from neighbors. Definitely a tad smaller than the photos online show. Our site was level.

    The raccoons and squirrels have no fear and will chew through plastic containers to get your food.

Guide to Caret

Westmoreland State Park Campground near Caret offers traditional campsites, cabins, and glamping options on the shores of the Potomac River. Located in Virginia's Northern Neck peninsula, the region experiences mild winters and warm summers with temperatures ranging from 30°F to 90°F seasonally. Most campgrounds in this area sit at elevations under 200 feet above sea level with a mix of coastal plains and woodland terrain.

What to do

Hiking and wildlife viewing: Lake Anna State Park Campground features multiple trails suitable for novice hikers, with ADA-accessible routes for those with mobility concerns. "The paved handicapped-accessible trail and fishing platforms are a really nice addition," mentions one visitor. The park balances activity with tranquility as another camper states, "We prefer a lot more privacy we were within 3 feet of our neighbors & 10 feet of 6-7 camp sites. There were more people than there was trees & wildlife."

Water recreation: Bethpage Camp-Resort provides access to the Rappahannock River with boat launches and rentals. "We enjoyed all the family activities there are to do. We went bike riding and also enjoyed that this campground is Golf Carr friendly. The grandkids loved all the water slides," explains a camper. The resort operates seasonally with water features typically open from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Historic exploration: Fredericksburg-Washington DC KOA serves as a convenient base for exploring regional historical sites within a 30-minute drive. "This KOA is clean and convenient to the historic sites in the Fredericksburg, VA area and is close to DC," notes one reviewer. The campground remains open year-round with peak season running April through October.

What campers like

Private outdoor spaces: Westmoreland State Park Campground offers sites with varying levels of seclusion. "The tent sites are awesome and mine have always been pretty private feeling despite being somewhat near others," explains one visitor. Campers recommend sites in the A loop for more separation between neighbors, particularly A22 for increased privacy.

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses at campgrounds near Caret. "Bathhouses are always SO clean and heated in the winter. So appreciate the recycling bins," shares a Westmoreland visitor. Another notes, "Bath houses are heated which is amazing. We had a large group so we rented B49 and B48."

Family-oriented activities: Rainbow Acres Campground provides riverside camping with fishing access on the Mattaponi River. "This is always our spot when we were are in the area, sometimes even when we're not. We love rainbow acres! We've been in groups and just the two of us. It's so relaxing and so much to do," states one regular visitor. The campground offers both short-term and seasonal sites.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Most glamping sites near Caret close during winter months, though some maintain year-round operations. "Went in March 2018 for my birthday, when it was still VERY cold, but had a wonderful time. The beaches and trails seem so much more peaceful and untouched this time of year. Definitely gets windy near the river," reports a Westmoreland camper.

Train noise: Anvil Campground in Williamsburg (about 40 miles from Caret) sits adjacent to active railroad tracks. "The train that passes by is great for kids and you barely notice it," notes one family, while others report: "Not really a complaint from us since the kids thought it was awesome. So, just a heads up on the trains. They are loud and they are often."

Reservation timing: Campground occupancy near Caret varies dramatically by season. During peak summer months, many campgrounds reach capacity, especially on weekends. "It was beautiful here so we decided to stay the night. We only have a small tent and some snacks. Lol but we are having an amazing time," notes a spontaneous camper who got lucky with availability at Westmoreland.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly features: Most area campgrounds provide dedicated activities for children. "We had a great time here over a long weekend in August. They informed us that they had a scavenger hunt for the kids going all weekend, they had an outdoor movie scheduled for Friday night, a campfire story time scheduled for Saturday night and crafts scheduled for Sunday morning," explains a visitor at Pohick Bay Campground.

Budget options: Several campgrounds offer tent-only areas with reduced rates compared to RV sites with full hookups. "We are tent campers but almost all our neighbors were in an RV or trailer. The site had water and electric which was nice," notes a family at Pohick Bay. Tent sites typically cost $25-40 per night during peak season.

Accessibility considerations: Look for campgrounds with ADA features if needed. "For being a state park, Lake Anna is one of the best I've been to. This campground is ADA accessible with the lantern hangers having lower hooks for those in wheelchairs, and at least one of the cabins has a wheelchair ramp," explains a visitor.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: When glamping in Caret area resorts, site location significantly impacts experience. "We stayed on the B loop, the lot we reserved by only looking at a park map was nice a spacious for our popup. We were a little too close to the other site, bad design, other camp fire was right next to the the trailer spot," cautions a visitor to Westmoreland State Park.

Utility hookups: Richmond North - Kings Dominion KOA offers full-hookup sites with varying amp service. "Nice and peaceful campground from what I could tell. 50/30 amp full hook ups," mentions a camper. Most sites include water and electric, though some premium spots include sewer connections for additional fees.

Winter camping: For those seeking off-season glamping in Caret, Virginia, prepare for reduced amenities. "We stayed during the covid pandemic when things were just starting to open back up, so the play grounds weren't available. The bathrooms are clean and the laundry facility is a plus. They also have a dog park which we used a ton," shares a camper about Kings Dominion KOA's winter operations.
