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.

Site privacy factors: Site spacing and proximity vary considerably across campgrounds. At Americamps RV Resort, reviewer Crystal C. notes: "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 shade instead of being in an open field."
