ScoutGreat !! Quite little place to rest your head. Staff is amazing and campgrounds are clean excellent place. I will definitely be back many many many times they are local to me and just down to earth people.🤙
TravelerSomething for everybody; long term slots, primitive camping, with electricity and water, with full hookups, day use ramps for Lake Anna, huge covered picnic area for large gatherings, rv sites in the woods and others on the edge of large field. Staff are great.
RangerThis park is so beautiful, set it a forested canopy and a serene lake, BUT - between the neighboring 4-H Camp shooting with hundreds of rounds being fired each day between 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM, and then Karaoke parties from 6:00 pm to late at night, the noises were close to being unbearable. Also, zero cell phone reception, but they have free wifi at the check-in station, the office and the beach.
GuideFirst campground in a week, that had great water pressure! Has free laundry, clean bathrooms, free mini golf, activities , restaurant and bar. Pretty darn awesome
TravelerVery quiet, peaceful . The Staff is very helpful.
GuideNice, quiet in March, shuttle to Kings Dominion every 30 minutes,
GuideWe camped here Labor Day weekend 2025. Our site was nicely situated between a trail down to the lake and bathhouse.
We had a long driveway that was perfect for throwing a ball around. Plenty of space to spread out, and surrounded by trees.
Enjoyed a sunset walk down to the lake and exploring the entire beach area. Loved seeing the turtles at the pond and exploring two different play areas.
GuideWe stayed in the tent only section for Labor Day weekend in 2024. The tent sites were not very level and close together. They were entirely gravel.
The kiddos enjoyed the swimming beach and some of the play items built in. The slide and some other pieces had seen better days and needed a bit of a refresh.
We didn't have a chance to check out any trails, but plan to go back on the future.
GuideThe site pad gravel was nice and provided good drainage for the DELUGE we got all night long our first night. Surrounded by lovely foliage, which provided nice privacy. And right across from some of the cleanest bath houses we've ever seen. Very nice.
But the real highlight was the variety and abundance of ranger programs offered at this relatively small park. We went on a lovely moth/caterpillar hunt at twilight that was so much fun, and the guide was so knowledgeable.
Also, the trails are very well marked. I like to trail run with my dog first thing in the morning, and I've been burned before by poorly marked trails. These (while expectedly soggy) were very well marked.

"We brought innertubes and just floated but we saw people fishing, kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, and paddle boating," reports a camper at Bear Creek Lake. Water activities typically operate seasonally from late May through early September.
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses and common areas as major positives. "Bathhouse is kept very clean," notes a visitor at Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground. Even at military facilities, cleanliness stands out: "Showers and bathrooms are super clean; laundry facility is clean," mentions a reviewer at Fort AP Hill Champs Camp.

More than you see at most campgrounds," says one camper. This proves particularly useful for extended stays or emergency repairs.
Quiet atmosphere: Despite proximity to Richmond, many campsites maintain peaceful environments. "Very quiet and clean for its size," remarks a visitor about Americamps RV Resort. Even during busy seasons, campers note reasonable noise levels at most parks.
Military-only facilities: Some camping options near Maidens restrict access to military personnel. "Access to DoD folks only," states a reviewer about Fort AP Hill Champs Camp. Richmond Family Recreation RV Camp similarly requires proper military ID for entry.
Seasonal operations: Operating schedules vary significantly between parks. While state parks typically remain open year-round, private campgrounds like Cozy Acres Campground RV Resort operate from April through mid-November. "We picked Americamps because we were traveling through the Richmond area and it was very convenient to I-95," notes one traveler about year-round options.
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, particularly for weekend stays. "If you are wanting to stay make sure to call in advance for this one. It is too nice to pass up on making a smart reservation," advises a camper about Americamps. Some parks offer limited first-come, first-served sites, but these fill quickly during summer months.

Site selection: RV campers recommend researching specific site characteristics before booking. "We're full time travelers in our motorhome... We enjoyed my corner pull-through site F2 even though it was gravel with some muddy spots. There are some paved spots near the entrance," explains a visitor at Americamps RV Resort.
Big rig considerations: Larger motorhomes face restrictions at some campgrounds. "Limit on RV length to 35 feet. This includes tow vehicle and trailer," warns a camper about Bear Creek Lake State Park. Military recreation areas typically accommodate larger rigs than state parks.
Hookup variations: Full hookup availability differs between parks. "No sewer hookups (they do have 30/50amp)," mentions a camper about Pocahontas State Park.
