Most Dog-Friendly
Enjoyed my corner pull-through site F2 even though it was gravel with some muddy spots. There are some paved spots near the entrance (7-10 and 15-19 plus VIP 1 & 2). Fire pits and wood for $6 upon request. Nice office with two small dogs to greet you and a jar of dog treats. Was decked out for Halloween during my stay, and the flower beds, pond, playground, basketball court and dog park were among the nicest. There is even an on-site dog walker, so dog people will really appreciate staying here. I noticed one side of the park (around site 22) is very noisy during the work day as there is a big lumber yard there. The proximity to the Great Outdoors and a couple of cute pub houses was a nice surprise. Recycling dumpster on site.

Camping at Cloverdale
We’ve got a little 20 acre hobby farm. This historic property has gently rolling hills, with a little creek amidst a couple acres of cleared, open, secluded woodland perfect for pitching a tent and listening to nature. Fields in the back lend a great view for star gazing and looking up at the Milky Way. If the peace and quiet isn’t enough for you, there are pet goats, cats, a dog, and chickens that all love attention. Guests are more than welcome to help in the garden, pick flowers, and enjoy fresh produce and eggs while they’re here. Located 5 minutes from the James River, guests can hop over to the boat landing for fishing, swimming and boating or check out Blanton and Pleasants, a community staple. If you’re a hiker, there’s a state forest and state park just a short 15 minute drive west.

Newly renovated, great staff, many amenities, some sites are noisy
Stayed here for two weeks in early March. Newly renovated campground with a lot of amenities. Very helpful staff. The campground is a lot of money upgrading services, capabilities, and extra activities (St Patrick's Day parade and dinner). While we were there they added street signage (very helpful) and installed a Bocce Ball field. Two fenced dog parks. Campsites are level gravel (no pads). Located near multiple vineyards. Our only complaint was that the sewage connection was slightly higher than the black tank outlet on our Airstream. The majority of camp sites are very close together, and the sites closer to the highway experience highway noise.

Good campground
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. Most spots are shaded and there are paved and gravel roads. The spaces are very snug so forget privacy when they’re busy, but at the time we were the only ones on our little road. The store is super pricey, but overall a good campground.
Megan K.GuidePrince William Forest RV Campground — Prince William Forest Park
Great spot with hookups by PW park
If you, like me, hate making reservations over the phone, it was worth it! Quick, simple, painless process.
Restrooms/showers: very clean, spacious, centrally located. My spot was in the back row and I didn't mind the walk
Lots: lots are really staggered/ set back from each other so feels like you have more space. Average lot size in general, but the set back feels like you have more space. It wasn't crowded either way, especially given on a weekend
Small pool
Wifi: don't plan on being able to have work zoom calls or really much on it for that matter
Cell service: I can confirm Verizon and Google fi have great service. I would imagine any other carrier would work just as well.
Area: the surrounding area is really bikeable
Hookups: I had a 30amp hookup with no issues. They also have up to 50amp full hookups. All of them looked well maintained.
Staff: super friendly; great check in experience They have a dog park but didn't get a chance to check it out.
Overall: great experience, would recommend

We are winter residents having spent our first time this past year. We found the new owners and management very accommodating. Lot fee is reasonable. We found it quiet, pet friendly,and wooded off-road location. Looking forward to returning in the fall.

Private sites with water views nearby
These campground is a great find. The sites are well spaced, and while on the smaller side they’re very private with woods between each one. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. The other campers were all respectful and observed pet policy and quiet hours. I have a reactive dog and he did well here! We’ll be back!

Nice Campground, Close to Attractions
We really like the location of this campground as we wanted to explore the VA wine country, Monticello, Skyline Drive and other sites in the area. Overall, we liked the park which had nice campsites, was very clean and well-kept, and we liked our campsite which was level and had full hook-up.
Our campsite was a back-in which was in a quiet corner of the campground. The site was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. The site was perfectly level, gravel, and had nice grass on the patio which our dog enjoyed. All the utilities were well-placed, so you didn’t need additional hoses. The cable hook-up provided us with plenty of television channels and the wifi worked well (albeit we just used it to check email and did not stream anything). Some campsites are pull-thrus (if you don’t wat to unhitch or back up) but it seemed this section was busier with transient campers coming and going and the sites seemed a little tighter. Some back-in sites have a wooded area behind them and more shade than our relatively open site. There are tent sites situated under trees for shade and to add a little privacy. Tent areas have a picnic table and fire pit along with a wooden bench and high table you could use for food prep. The campground does not allow hammocks so make sure you have a tent and were not planning on sleeping in your hammock.
As you would expect with a KOA, there are lots of amenities and many that are geared towards kids (although we didn’t see too many during our stay). There are two really nice playground with slides, swings, climbing walls, game room, swimming pool, bouncy pillow, etc. There is a small little basketball area with one hoop and a paved surface which is adequate for shooting hoops but not playing a full-court game. The dog park was surprisingly big and we were impressed at the size which was big enough to throw a ball for our lab. Other nice amenities were the fishing pond and a½ mile nature trail in the campground.
Guide to Green Bay
Camping options near Green Bay, Virginia feature sites with varying levels of privacy and amenities. Located in central Virginia's Louisa County, this area experiences hot summers and mild winters, with camping season generally extending from April through October at most locations. The region's mix of wooded and open field sites creates different camping environments within the same general area.
What to do
Lake activities at Christopher Run: The campground offers direct access to Lake Anna with swimming opportunities. "This campground has access to lake Anna and is clean... quite times 9 and they have security going around to remind everyone," notes Chris B. The beach area provides a designated swimming zone that's well-maintained.
Explore mountain biking trails: Pocahontas State Park Campground features extensive trail systems. "Lots of hiking, fantastic mountain bike trails, lots of history. LOVE the staff. 20 mins from every store you can imagine, but super quiet at night," according to Ashley I. The park maintains trails for various skill levels.
Horseback riding options: Shenandoah Crossing provides equestrian activities for campers. "Several wineries near by," mentions Kathie M., making it possible to combine outdoor activities with local wine tasting. The stable facilities allow both beginners and experienced riders to enjoy guided trail rides.
What campers like
Private wooded sites: Campers appreciate secluded spots with natural shade. "Mostly wooded, with shade. Our site D9, backed up to a small wooded section," reports Joel R. about Christopher Run Campground. The tree cover helps maintain comfortable temperatures during summer camping.
Clean, modern facilities: Many campgrounds in the area maintain updated amenities. "Clean and well kept," writes Darcy S. about Richmond North - Kings Dominion KOA. The maintenance extends to both individual sites and common areas.
Wide range of recreational amenities: Small Country Campground offers multiple activity options beyond basic camping. "This place is great for family camping. They have a pond, pool, playgrounds, 'bouncy pillow', mini golf, and lots more," explains The Mayor. These features make extended stays more engaging for visitors of all ages.
What you should know
Shower facilities vary significantly: While most campgrounds offer showers, the quality differs. At Christopher Run, "Showers and bathrooms are clean, hot water, but it's timed, so you have to keep pushing their buttons to continue a shower," reports Joel R. This system can be inconvenient for longer showers.
Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require careful setup for RVs and trailers. "The sites are good size, but not very level. We did finally get ours squared away," notes Joel R. about Christopher Run. Bringing leveling blocks is advisable for most locations.
Seasonal operations: Operating schedules vary across the region. Fredericksburg-Washington DC KOA remains open year-round, while Christopher Run operates from April through October. "Clean and convenient to the historic sites in the Fredericksburg, VA area and is close to DC," mentions Chris B., highlighting its strategic location for area exploration.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Multiple campgrounds offer play areas for children. At Powhatan State Park Campground, "Large playground and a good boat launch for tubes and kayaks," says Isaac R. The playground equipment is well-maintained and suitable for various age groups.

Very friendly and helpful!" shares Amy R. about Christopher Run Campground. The beach area includes a designated swimming section with gradual entry.
Educational opportunities: Some parks offer learning experiences for young visitors. "Geocaching on grounds, fishing, hiking, boat launch, canoe racks, playground, a store with a nature center, and a Junior Ranger program for the kids," reports Lisa P. about Powhatan State Park. These activities combine recreation with educational elements.
Tips from RVers
Hookup availability: Electric and water connections are common but not universal. "No sewer hookups (they do have 30/50amp)," notes Ashley I. about Pocahontas State Park. Most developed campgrounds provide at least partial hookups for RVs.
Site spacing considerations: Americamps RV Resort provides adequate separation between camping spots. "While the sites were close together in typical RV park style, they were not scrapping together like we've seen at some places and there were many well established trees to provide lots of share instead of being in an open field," explains Steve V. The layout balances capacity with comfort.
Pull-through accessibility: Several campgrounds accommodate larger rigs without complicated maneuvering. "Our site was a pull through and we didn't have to unhook to fit!" shares Cat R. about Americamps. These sites eliminate the need for backing up, which is particularly helpful for inexperienced RV drivers or those with longer trailers.
