Several RV parks near Henrico, Virginia provide varying levels of hookup services throughout the year. Thousand Trails Lynchburg offers electric, water, and sewer connections with 30-amp service from April through October. Mayo Lake Park accommodates larger rigs with water and electric hookups year-round, though the single-lane road can create challenges when meeting other vehicles. North Bend Park features multiple campground areas with electric and water sites, some directly along the shoreline. Most Kerr Lake recreation areas maintain clean facilities with several waterfront RV sites, though many have sloped pads requiring leveling equipment. "Sites in B are small and mostly have deep drop offs beyond the railroad ties. Sites are a little more spread out in C but still pretty small," noted one camper about Occoneechee State Park.
Kerr Lake recreation areas offer numerous options for motorhome travelers with varying levels of amenities. Electric and water sites are standard across most parks, while full hookup RV sites with sewer connections are less common. Cell service remains spotty in several locations, particularly at Mayo Lake where one visitor mentioned service is "very spotty" despite the reasonable pricing. Reservation windows typically open six months in advance, with waterfront sites booking especially quickly during summer months. RV dump stations are available at most parks but may be inconveniently located away from camping loops. Several parks enforce size restrictions with sites marked for 30-foot rigs, though according to camper feedback, many can accommodate larger motorhomes despite posted limitations.

LegendWe spent one night here on our way north. We arrived late and left early. Staff was great met us at the gate and escorted us to our site. Mostly long term renters. Site were a good size and we had a pull through site and never had to unhook the Jeep. Full hook ups.
LegendThis is a thousand trails RV resort. the road to the campground is fine. The campground is an older one and bigger rigs will find it a bit of a challenge to get into areas, especially the area where there is just water and electric. That is another issue, most of the park is water and electric. Lucky for us we usually come into this park early in the season or latter.
There is an area near the lake that has pull thru sites with WES setups 200 to 323 ( some small cabins and tiny houses are included in this number set ), I believe there is 31 total, all 50 amp, 22 are pull thru.
The camp sites from #1 thru 174 are 30 and 50 amp setups and the area is tight to maneuver thru you are definitely going to work at getting bigger rigs in and also, leveling is a bit challenging in some spots. But 90% are in partial shaded areas making it a comfortable feel once settled in.
Our ATT and T-Mobile hotspots worked as did the cell service ok. Most of the amenities were closed as it was early in the season. I will say, the laundry is small for this big of a campground. They were also doing work on the office but that is supposed to be completed soon. All in all, the views of the Lake are spectacular and there is plenty to see and do during the peak season for families.
They have a separate dump station as well as a dumpster area as you first enter the park.
LegendThe name of the park is deceiving because it is not in the mountains, but it has beauty in its meandering streams and trails. The campsites have gravel tent pads, and tents must be set up on them. The gravel on the site where I stayed was deeper than my tent stakes were long, and I could not get a good hold. I was trying out a newly required tent, which was not freestanding, so it was frustrating. My advice is to make sure you take a tent that IS freestanding. Deep gravel tent pads and non-freestanding tents do not go together. The tent site was large, had a fire ring, and a lantern pole, but the pad itself was NOT level. I had to move the picnic table so I could set up my tent on the only level spot I could find. Something you have to be careful about is poison ivy. There was poison ivy all around the perimeter of my campsite. The bathroom facilities were surprisingly modern and had spacious showers with hot water. As far as I know, there are no electrical, sewer, or water hookups, but there is a dump station. There is a mixture of pull-through sites and back in sites for RVs. There are plenty of trails to explore, and plenty of fishing holes. The Bluff Loop Trail leads from the campground and along Fishing Creek. To see Medoc “mountain,” you have to hike quite a distance, or you can drive to the park office down the road and hike from there. Cross the road to the Bear Swamp Trail, get on the Saponi Loop (which is also a bicycle trail), and then head to the Summit Loop Trail. There are several miles of bicycle trails as well as hiking trails, and some of them are one way only, meaning that hikers are required to hike in one direction and bicycles go in another direction. Even though this is in the Coastal Plain, the Bluff Loop Trail will take you by a couple of sections of whitewater. They are small, but if you like a (mostly) easy hike through the forest, this trail is a good one. There are no swimming pools or playgrounds, but if you want to just enjoy nature, there are hiking, biking, and fishing opportunities.
LegendWe spent one night here in April. It was great!
There are some pretty easy hiking trails, great for kids. Really beautiful wooded area. The campground was everything you could ask for! Large, level sites that are very secluded and far apart from each other. Bathrooms were clean and well situated. Very family-friendly!
We want to come back soon!
TravelerWe stayed in Henderson Point Campground, loop 2, site 68 in late August. 30 amp hookup, drinking water hookup was easily accessible (no need for a super long hose), no sewer hookups. The site was a back in and pretty level with only a slight decline as you move toward the rear. The view was absolutely gorgeous. East facing, the semi private beach was easily accessible and only maybe 50ft from the site. From what I could tell the campground was booked that weekend but you could barely hear any noise from your neighbors. The only complaints would be that the bathrooms are kind of far from this site (I never actually went but imagine a good 5 minute walk) and the dump station is about a mile away. Neither of these would keep us from returning; we can hardly wait to go back to this campground.
TravelerThe site is directly on the lake. Mere steps from your door. Beautiful view on the adjacent shoreline and bridge. Rocky shoreline. Easy to back in. I only have 2 complaints. The proximity of neighbors. The only thing separating you from site 24 is the tent pad. And the site length listed is a little misleading. It says 40 feet which I assume is true. But we fit our 27 foot travel trailer in there and had a really hard time wedging our tow vehicle (F250) in there. Parked at an odd angle on the tent pad. Wouldn’t choose this site again but definitely recommend for a smaller trailer.
GuideThe North Carolina State Park campgrounds are typically very nice, and this one is no exception. My site is adjacent to a large, clean, working bathhouse and a 2 minute walk from a swim beach.
My cell reception outside the camper is excellent, and of if I had a cell booster it would be adequate for streaming inside the camper. I don’t have one as I depend on Starlink for internet access when traveling. Unfortunately Starlink isn’t going to work in my specific site or in most of the others. This is a wooded campground and all the sites are completely shaded
My site has water and electric. About half of the available RV sites have water and electric, it there is no sewer. There is a dump station in the campground. Unusual for NC State facilities, there are no trash bins placed around the campground, but there is a large dumpster station co-located with the dump station.
It’s about a 15-20 minute drive to shopping, but there are several convenience stores a few minutes away.
The campground is clean and well maintained. It meanders around a very large lake, with several beaches and boat launch areas.
GuideWe camped here during Thanksgiving. It's a county run campground so the employees were off during Thanksgiving so they gave us a key to the gate if we needed to leave when no-one was there. The campground is primarily designed for small campers but there are a few spots that would accommodate campers in the 40 foot range. Three are two loops, one for RVs and one for tent campers. The loop for RVs has a one way curvy road to the loop. The bathhouse isn't in the loop it is at the top of the hill. The site that is closest to the bathhouse is site 27 and it will accommodate large campers. The dump station isn't near the RV loop it is near the tent loop.
LegendWe absolutely love this area! There are tons of hiking trails all around and plenty of bike trails too! Conveniently located north of Raleigh, NC and close to many major highways. There are tons of beach areas and places to enjoy the great outdoors. Picnic areas too!
Kerr Lake straddles the Virginia-North Carolina border with 800 miles of shoreline and elevations around 300 feet above sea level. Many rv sites near Henrico, Virginia are situated directly on the water with shaded, spacious camping areas. Lake levels fluctuate seasonally, with higher water typically in spring and lower levels in late summer, affecting shoreline accessibility at some campgrounds.
Water activities: Lake Gaston is ideal for various water sports with designated swimming areas. "This is a great location right on Lake Gaston. You can rent a cabin pitch a tent or park in RV," notes Chris E. The lake offers excellent conditions for boating enthusiasts.
Stargazing: Staunton River State Park Campground is designated as an International Dark Sky Park. "You can rent a telescope for free to view the stars! They have a huge gift shop as well. And a fun playground that the kids enjoyed. We made a reservation here because the park is an International Dark Sky park and we wanted a great view of the stars. Boy did it deliver!" shares Katie M.
Hiking trails: Multiple trail systems connect camping areas to scenic vistas. "Occoneechee is right on the shores of Kerr Lake in Clarksville, VA. There are several nice trails to explore as well as a marina right in the park," explains Sarah S. Most trails are rated easy to moderate with minimal elevation changes.
Beach access: Many sites feature private beach areas for swimming and launching watercraft. "We camped lakeside at Kerr Lake Satterwhite Point for a group fishing trip. Nice and quiet and we were able to park right next to the tents," says Andy K. The sandy shorelines make water entry easy without steep drop-offs.
Spacious sites: J.C. Cooper Campground offers well-spaced camping areas. "Quiet and clean, right on the water," reports Jennifer O. Another camper notes, "Very pretty, lots of sites on the water. Shower house is very nice. Everything is well maintained."
Clean facilities: Bathhouses receive regular maintenance at most parks. "The bathrooms are impeccable, best of any campground we've been to," writes EMRY H. about Hibernia Campground. The facilities include hot showers and flush toilets at most locations.
Terrain variation: Campsite leveling can be challenging at some locations. "Limited sewer hook up. Some sites uneven. Pull through sites available," notes Robert M. about Lake Gaston. Sites near the water tend to have more slope than interior locations.
Reservation timing: Waterfront sites book quickly, especially during summer months. "Most spots reserved for the summer," explains David L. Many campgrounds open reservation windows 6 months in advance with holiday weekends filling immediately.
Access roads: Some campgrounds have narrow approach roads. "The road leading to the camping area is single lane so if you meet another camper going the other way it could get a little dicey," warns Brandon C. about Mayo Lake Park. Several campgrounds feature similar access challenges.
Playground locations: Multiple parks offer play equipment for children. "It contains putt putt, pool, store, 2 beaches, dock, fishing areas, playground, and tons of shade," reports Samantha G. about Thousand Trails Lake Gaston. Some playgrounds are centrally located while others require walking from camping loops.
Swimming areas: Designated swim zones provide safer water access for children. "We camped here during the weekend as a mom/daughter getaway. Daughter had a blast swimming in the lake and catching her very first fish!!!" shares Crystal K. about Hibernia Campground.
Educational programs: Ranger-led activities enhance family experiences. "Park rangers had great kids programs including animal feeding frenzy where we learned about snakes and turtles and we invoked in feeding. Also lots of any pelts to learn about," explains Katie about North Bend Park.
Hookup locations: Water connections can be distant from some sites. "Note - to bring at least 75 feet of water hose, as some sites have long runs from in front of camper," advises Mark H. at J.C. Cooper Campground. Electrical pedestals are generally well-positioned but may require extension cords at waterfront sites.
Site selection for size: Despite posted limitations, many sites accommodate larger rigs. "We only stayed a night because we were just passing through but we really liked our site #59. There was plenty of room for our 31ft airstream," Christina K. mentions about North Bend Park.
Dump station access: Facilities are often positioned near park entrances rather than camping loops. "There is a single dump station near the entrance," notes Brandon C. about Mayo Lake Park. This requires planning departure timing to avoid congestion at popular checkout times.
