ScoutWe are repeat customers and come here with our troops. Nice mix of RV and tent campers. Quiet. Trails, creek, pool, fishing ponds (back end), batheooms, etc, great rates. No firewood- need to bring your own.
TravelerDecent little campground! It was quiet aside from occasional air traffic noise, and while there wasn't much spacing between some camp sites everyone was respectful. My spot was a little difficult to find because the online park map was incorrect, and the spot was basically an extended shoulder of the road. Checking in was a breeze, though!
TravelerWe stayed here for one night for our travel home. Not far off i95, plenty of signage telling you where to go.
Once here it's tucked away nicely away from everything, sites feel spacious enough and mostly level on their own.
Pool facility looks clean and good size for all to enjoy. With a playground right next to it and a small mining operation for the kiddos.
Will likely be back to explore the area more!
ScoutQuiet campground with tables and fire rings at all sites. Small, well stocked camp store. Propane and 2 easy dump stations. Nice pool and bath house. Close to everything.
TravelerClean place and very quiet
GuideNeeded a spot last minute and they were able to accommodate with a pull through site.
GuideWe have found municipal campgrounds in Northern Virginia are a bit spendy for being government sponsored. Not as bad as South Carolina, but way more than Florida. Fine. Comes with the territory. But Bull Run manages to goose you even more. There are occupancy AND transaction fees that really add up if you're only there a few nights. But the real kicker is a 2-night minimum stay. Even mid-week. In APRIL for gosh sakes!
While we were here, there was a fairly heavy day of rain. Couple inches, I suppose, but nothing Biblical. The mouths of the metal culverts in our loop were bent downward from campers driving over them, which obstructed the flow. Result was lots of standing water at our campsite.
We're done with NOVA Parks campgrounds. Better cost options exist with Fairfax County Parks.
GuideWould give it 4 stars for the hookups and friendly staff but we were welcomed to our site with pile of dog poop that had been left there. Gravel site pad could definitely use some maintenance and fresh material added. Had to put down boards to park our travel trailer because about a third of the pad had just turned into mud.
GuideSuper simple and the best price... easy to find and very clean
