  Pocahontas State Park Campground

  Lovely campground

  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.

  Powhatan State Park Campground

  Camping and remote work

  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

  Pocahontas State Park Campground

  Huge park with plenty to do!

  Our 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

  Chippokes State Park Campground

  Great park for cultural and natural history

  Chippokes State Park is located on the grounds of an old historic plantation, actually one if the original plantations in the area dating back to the 1600’s. The land grant was huge, and as a state park now it provides a rich opportunity to learn about the James River, the natural and indigenous history of the region, the settlement history and role of this plantation in Virginia History, and more. Visiting here provides hiking opportunities to learn about fossils along the river shore, the temperate forest in the woods, and history around the old plantation. Taking the ferry across the river from Jamestown to get here was part of the adventure too. There is a nature center and visitor center that provides lots of info and programs near the river , a network of easy park roads for biking, and the plantation itself, set back further away from the river, provides a wealth of learning, including about the history of crops and trade in this area, and about the lives of the slaves who worked the plantation. The grounds right around the plantation are, in fact, a memorial to the hundreds of souls who lived and worked the land here. It was an amazing learning experience to come to the park, and the options to stay over in the park include standard campsites in a wooded campground, or cabins. The campground has all the usual state park amenities, and was very quiet when we were there in November—so late fall is a great time to come, as the fall weather was amazing

  Pocahontas State Park Campground

  Amazing State Park close to Richmond!

  This 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!

  Twin Lakes State Park Campground

  Small, quiet place with good service

  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.

  Chippokes State Park Campground

  Old Ameture

  Personally, I spent my Birthday week 09-13 October there. I had a wonderful experience for my first time car camping. I would've preferred not having noisy camp neighbors but I guess it was to be expected. So happy that I invested in a tent that survived a rainy night with flying colors. It was a training run to get myself accustomed to the many insects that frayed my nerves. I would return though and the next time should be a lot easier on this old woman and her old husband. 😁

  Nice park! Will be back!

  Stayed 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.

  Picture Lake Campground

  Short Stay

  The pictures are for sure not like the campground. I only needed one night so it wasn’t a big deal but it wasn’t maintained well at all. The volleyball courts were grown over, the basketball court had no hoops (not even the poles) and the grounds themselves weren’t well maintained. It seemed as though there were a lot of people that were permanent residents there but I wouldn’t want to actually vacation there.

  Williamsburg Campground

  Beautiful campground, great location

  We stayed for five nights at the end June. We were extremely happy with our site and were tempted to stay through the following weekend. We were completely canopied by trees and our site was quite level. The power was stable and the water pressure was good. The amenities were all clean and in good working order. They even have a 1 ft deep kiddie pool that was great for our toddler! The staff was wonderful and the grounds were very well maintained. The location cannot be beat. There is a Harris Teeter close by and you can be at Colonial Williamsburg within 15 minutes. We are already talking about coming back in the fall when the leaves are changing.

  Williamsburg Campground

  Great Experience

  We stayed for 2 nights while visiting Williamsburg. The campground was very clean, the staff was nice and very professional, and the views from our location were pretty good. We felt we had plenty of room and descent privacy, as the park was not at full capacity during our stay. There were plenty of activities for all to enjoy.  As advertised this campground is very close to many amenities and attractions in the area. We will definitely stay at this location again the next time we are in the area.

  Really deserves 4.5 stars!

  Refreshing

  Campground was relaxing, had a perfect mom and pop feel to it. Spaces are tight but you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. The train that passes by is great for kids and you barely notice it.

  Well Managed and Organized

  We stayed a weekend in early spring on a premium site. The site was perfectly level, clean and well maintained. Nearby facilities were up to date and clean. Close to sites and activities, and also grocery and pharmacy. We recently booked a site for another upcoming weekend trip, and will do so again in the fall Very smooth booking and check-in. Friendly staff.

  Cabin Campin’

  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!

  Isle of Wight Family Campground

  Nice and Very Quiet!

  This is a really nice campground. They have on-site bathrooms/showers as well as laundry. It's mostly RV spots but they also allow tent camping and have a couple cabins available for rent. They have a dog park area, playground and pool. The store has items for purchase and a gathering room. They do potlucks and get togethers often for the campers. The staff is very friendly and super helpful. You can purchase firewood and propane on-site. Each spot has a concrete padded area with a picnic table and fire pit. It is a little ways out of town in any direction bit it's very nice and quiet out here as you're surrounded by woods. They also have a fishing pond and trails on-site. This really is one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to! Definitely recommend.

  Great stop on way to Florida

  Just passing through and nice place to pull in with our trailer and stay hitched. Wish the site was more level but a couple leveling blocks fixed it. Nice that they are open year round.

  Nice little campground!

  Beautiful 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.

  Busy Family Campground

  It 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.

  Anvil Campground

  Buyer Beware

  1. Customer service: poor- weather out of desperate times or just desperation-You can not modify your stay-once you have “locked” in your stay,no matter what!
  2. TRAIN-all day and night- earth shakes and extremely loud.
  3. Small sights, no division-packed in tight-
  4. Decorated for Halloween- A bit too much for very young children or any individual with a diagnosis of ASD or a social emotional history.

  Baring Easter music -even when showering. In close approximation to Williamsburg-etc

  One night, but great!

  This 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.
