Best RV Parks & Resorts near Elkwood, VA

The campground is pretty big and has a wonderful beach with swim access to the lake. Most of the campers are long time seasonal campers, and a lot even live here. The beach is well maintained and campsites are spacious. Pull through options available. The playground is for kids 5+ and there’s not much to do outside of swimming in the lake for 5 and under. People at the lake were friendly but long term campers seemed to want to have nothing to do with anyone. I’d recommend for adults and teens more so than large families with younger kiddos.

Pam’s got jokes! I believe she is the owner or maybe just the long term host. Either way awesome lady and made us laugh. I have stayed here a couple times.

Lots of cool little camps along the creek. Group site is secluded, and spacious.

Bathrooms are clean. Water is so hot it hurts. Laundry area. Large sink for dishes. Even a little free library.

The “clutter” others mention is irrelevant to the camp. Seems to just be in the private areas.

To whom it may concern.

my family and I were guest at the Resort over Columbus Day weekend. We were at the Resort in October 2019 and remember how well it was kept up and clean and we looked forward to returning, not the case this weekend we were disappointed on how dirty, trashy and gloomy the Resort has become. Many of the long-term camping sites looked dirty and the trailers are not being kept up or maintained. Some sites had trash bags thrown around. The showers were dirty with bugs everywhere, definitely did not want to experience a shower in there.

Our family group had reserved three campsites and a chalet. We all had problems. When we made the reservations you ask, and we told you, the size of our campers. One was a large motorhome given a site which they could never fit and at luckily the office was open to make a change. Another camper was put in a site which was so small they could not use their awning and very close to their neighbor who were using their hook-ups, they too had to be moved. Your reservation personnel needs to be familiar with what size campers can go in what slots. It looks bad on you that they do not know the layout of the campground.

As for my site I was in #90. The site was un-level and uneven, a 15% incline, which I could not get the camper level. Sites all around me (89,91,92,93) were more level than what I had to deal with. With the incline issue I also had a sewage problem where the pipes were higher than the camper and I could not empty my tanks, water does not go up-hill. After the rain Saturday evening into Sunday we discovered the sewage line was clogged and we had the smell of sewage. There was trash and kids toys scattered around the site. I would also recommend that the fire pit be moved into site 90, right now it is in the middle of 89 and 90 and if used it could do damage to another camper or hurt someone in the process.

Since I could not dump on my site - because it was clogged I had to go to the dump station. Your pipe is 2-feet off the ground and was even with the camper so the sewage couldn’t go down and I had to get my mother to hold it so I could walk the lines up. This is not right, no one likes to deal with sewage. Suggest you cut the pipe down so sewage can go down in the pipe.

We also had family members staying in the Chalet and loved it, HOWEVER they mentioned how the water was brown and dirty and smelled so they were afraid of drinking it or taking a shower.

Needless to say we all were disappointed in our stay and remarked how much the Resort had declined and not been maintained which is sad because it used to be nice. We will not be returning and will not give a recommendation.

Decent campground here suitable for campers new and old. Have tent, full hook up RV sites and even cabin sites for the families who just want the comfort of a home. The sites and clean and spacious. The bathrooms are also clean and have hot showers.

The are tons of amenities here. Really great for beginner campers. There a water park type thing here. Hiking, biking, swimming, fishing. Downfall there's a shooting range near by so can be kind of noisy or at least it was the night we were here. Lots of history near by so check out the old battle fields and buildings that housed troops during civil war. Very cool stuff:

Cheers!

Around 60 RV level sites that have 110/30/50 but no water hookup. Drop point on-site and amenities are 6x individual ADA compliant all-gender that are large enough to fit a family. Sie has The Water Mine park, sports grounds, picnic and other camping. Staff are v.helpful.

Ugh, this was one of the worst campgrounds we have stayed at in our twelve years of full-time RVing. First of all, the sites are very close together. Our site (which was#20 on the map but the number at our electric post was#102, go figure!) was supposed to be a pull-thru but we had to unhook the car because the site was so short and hard to get into due to narrow roads and tight turns with trees. The park is definitely not big-rig friendly, and all the sites are very close. There are many seasonals with old, dilapidated campers with lots junk around them. 

We assume they call themselves a “resort” because there is a swimming pool, mini-golf, pavilion, playground, rental cabins, ball fields, dog park and a fishing pond, but it didn’t live up to the standards we consider for a resort. The mini-golf was in horrible condition. Everything was old and run-down. The “chalets” where super outdated, there was trash everywhere in the campground. Lots of seasonal sites with junk everywhere at their site. Behind us was a family who left their mean-looking barking dog chained to the tree all the time. The bathrooms are super outdated, and we wouldn’t even go in. Luckily, we had a full hook-up site. The nicest looking area of the park is the 8,000 square-ft Clubhouse which has a café, game room, adult lounge, wide screen tv, fitness center, and jacuzzi. We were there early in the season so some amenities were closed. There are farm animals on the property and a petting zoo with pigs, horses, ponies, goats, ducks, etc. They have a busy summer schedule of events which I’m sure entertains the kids and adults, but we weren’t staying long enough to participate. 

Inside the brochure you get when you check-in are two-pages of guidelines and rules (which I doubt anyone reads). One of rules (#8) states that you have to clean up your area prior to departure, but since the seasonals weren’t departing I guess all the trash around their site was acceptable. That rule also states that fire pits have to be clean to fire pits but there were many fire pits full of trash.  

I was a little nervous plugging into our electrical post which was completely wobbly and barely attached to anything and literally held together with packing tape– visions of an unpleasant electrocution experience flashed in my head. There is no cable but we were able to get seven over-the-air antenna channels (only one major network– ABC). All the utilities were at the back of our site and it took me a few minutes to find the sewer outlet which was near our neighbors designated parking spot. I suppose the only good thing was that Skyline Ranch Resort is a Passport America park and we only paid $35+tax/night for a 50-amp FHU site (which would have been the ridiculous high price of $70 otherwise). The only reason the campground gets two stars is because it was cheap for FHU. We would NOT stay here again.

We stopped for one night as we are passing through. Very small campground. Not enough room to leave our camper hooked to the truck. We have 32 ft camper. We are backed into a pretty little spot, looking right at a flowing creek. This site is gravel, full hookups, pretty level. Fire ring and picnic table. A small store on the property sells wood. The water pressure is extremely high, so be sure to use a regulator. There are a couple of longterm campers here. 1 male and 1 female shower and toilet available.

We have been camping here for nearly 20 years. Each military tour brought us back to this area so Pohick became our second home. Our kids kayak now older but used to walk the trails as little kids. The waterpark is new and loud so we avoid but nice if you have young kids. Careful low bridge on Route 1 exit ramp little warning when taking ramp off I95. Go around to next exit. The check in at the cap store is crowded and narrow even with renovations but our 34 ft makes it okay. Bring bikes. Long bike trail along road. Farmers markets in Lorton and things to do in DC. Park at Huntington or Springfield metro. Short boat ride straight across from Ft Belvoir new family campground. Ice cream shop in season by water docks. Bathrooms clean always hot water three stalls each. Sink outside for dishes. Playground buts up against inner circle which are the only sewer sites. Others are electric water. Careful some near steep drop off. Stick to main road or inner circle or first circle if in big unit. Must go round circle to get to those spots which can be annoying. Two speed bumps. Camp store sells smores ingredients, limited candy, no eggs or bacon get those off Rte 1. Past entrance on Rte 1 is a Food Lion, McDonalds. Gas stations along Rte one are tight so fill up before exiting to campground. If you are desperate there is gas 7/11 at corner of Pohick and Rte 1 but its sketchy. Up the road off Rte 1 is Fort Belvoir Access w a drivers license however cant shop without military sponsored ID. Great bbq at Telegraph Rd and greek at Olympians family restaurant. Movie theater on Telegraph is nice. Springfield Mall close. Take Onville Rd which is a backroad by Pohick Church to shortcut to Rte 1. Pohick Rd past camping turn deadends into private neighborhood. Do not pass camp entrance. Hard to turn around if you do. Near End of Pohick is a small walk with overlook. See birds at point. Drive a car not RV. Park at lot on right before road split deadend. Gunston Hall on left can see from campground and water. Tours are nice.

It's a good place to bring your family to play some Frisbee golf, The RV spots are like being in the woods, indoor pool,lake to swim or fish.you can rent paddle boats and Jon boats.the camping store as everything u need and pluse homemade food.
