Thousand Trails Lynchburg RV Resort provides 30-amp electric hookups, water, and sewer connections on sites that accommodate both small and large rigs. Staunton River State Park Campground offers electric and water hookups with a sanitary dump station but no sewer connections at individual sites. North Bend Park features big-rig friendly sites with 50-amp service, water hookups, and a dump station near the entrance. Pickett RV Park in Blackstone provides full hookup sites with 50-amp electrical service. Most RV parks in the region have gravel pads with varying degrees of levelness, though some premium sites feature concrete pads with patios. "We had a pull through site and never had to unhook the Jeep. Full hook ups. Site were a good size."
Reservations become essential during peak seasons, particularly at state parks where booking opens exactly six months in advance. Cell service varies significantly across the region, with most private RV parks offering better connectivity than state park campgrounds. Water pressure can be problematic at some locations, with one camper noting "horribly low water pressure" at Paradise Lake Family Campground due to well water systems limited to 35 psi. Many parks close for winter, though Pickett RV Park and several others remain open year-round. Dump stations at state parks are sometimes located away from camping loops, requiring additional planning when departing. Most campgrounds welcome pets but enforce leash requirements and may have breed restrictions at private parks.

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.
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.
GuideSite 16 Left (non-electric) September 18-21, 2020 Average Daily Temp: 76 Average Night Temp: 51 Arrived on a beautiful early Fall Friday afternoon. Host was extremely friendly and welcoming. He offered great advice and information for this first time visit. Firewood is not available on site. You have to travel back to a self service trailer about 4 miles near the local CVS on Route 58. In my humble opinion, Site 16 was the best view of the Lake and has easy accessibility (see photos). Because of the low evening temps, most of the non-electric sites were empty. We basically had run of the area. Pet friendly and very well kept areas. Rock pad for parking and tent set up. Bring a pad if you plan on sleeping on the ground. Two tables, fire pit, and lantern post on sites. Boat parking available close to this site. Swimming was fantastic. Fishing was even better. Will be back.
TravelerHad everything we needed and was a nice 30 amp hookup and water hookup and a dump sight but the wifi extended do need a bit of an upgrade.
ScoutThe campsites are nice and shaded, not TOO close to neighbors. The lake beach was a great time for our kids, and we rented a paddle boat and tandem kayak and all had a blast. The picnic tables, playground, and snack bar at the "beach" were great amenities as well!
TravelerRemote and quiet location. In season this place is very busy. Our visit is pre Memorial Day so it is low key. 80-90% of sites are 30 Amp. Limited 50 amp. TT maintains all facilities in a similar way and your experience will vary. We are passing thru so to be fair, it is best to come back for a longer stay

Many campgrounds in the area offer direct lake access, with shorelines that vary from sandy beaches to rocky embankments. Winter temperatures can drop to the mid-30s, while summer highs regularly reach 90°F, making seasonal planning essential.
Stargazing opportunities: Staunton River State Park Campground has been recognized as an International Dark Sky park with exceptional night viewing. "The park offers rentals of telescopes that can be checked out for free at the visitor's center," notes a camper who adds "beautiful chilly clear night and the sky and stars were amazing!"
Swimming access: Hibernia Campground — Kerr Lake State Recreation Area offers multiple swimming areas with varying shorelines. "Being right on the lake was awesome. Walk out of your tent and 'bam,' see the beautiful sights! Daughter had a blast swimming in the lake and catching her very first fish," shares one visitor.
Hiking trails: Mayo Lake Park features clearly marked paths for different skill levels. "We decided to check out this park and really loved it. We like quiet site and the person helping my husband on the phone did a great job suggesting such a site. We had easy access to the lake from our camper where we did some kayaking," according to a recent review.
Private waterfront access: Many sites at North Bend Park offer direct shoreline access from individual campsites. "Nice park, lots of room for fishing, swimming and relaxing with the family. Clean facilities and awesome staff. Not recommended for anyone looking for solitude," notes one camper.
Historic exploration: Occoneechee State Park includes preserved historical structures. "We hiked the Plantation Trail, a large historical site that was once a homestead. Mellow, family-friendly walk with a cemetery, historical markers, and an old chimney. Lots of old growth - from the gigantic boxwoods (hundreds of years old) to the wild daffodils growing in the woods," writes a camper.
Well-maintained facilities: Longwood Campground at John H Kerr Reservoir receives praise for its upkeep. "Despite the 'primitive' accommodations, the toilets, pit and running water, were very clean and the showers had plenty of hot water, were clean and drained well. I'd only planned to stay here one night, but I liked both the campground and the surrounding area so much that I stayed another night."
Seasonal closures: Many campgrounds have limited operation schedules. At Thousand Trails Lynchburg, a camper notes, "Remote and quiet location. In season this place is very busy. Our visit is pre Memorial Day so it is low key. 80-90% of sites are 30 Amp. Limited 50 amp."
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies widely across the region. "If you have to have cell phone service it is very spotty," warns a Mayo Lake Park visitor.
Road conditions: Some parks have challenging access roads. At Lynchburg RV Resort, a camper observed, "Stayed here about a month ago and the A loop was in terrible shape as far as the roads go. That said, the C Loop (C62 is our site) is very nice and in good condition, in comparison."
Site selection considerations: Leveling can be difficult at some locations. A visitor to Hibernia Campground reports, "Site 65, as well as others in the immediate area, are listed as 'level' but that is far from reality."
Educational opportunities: Staunton River State Park Campground offers nature programs for children. "My gkids and I stayed here one night because they wanted to earn a winter camping badge and it was so worth it! They also have a nature learning lab, some cool animals, and a fantastic gift shop."
Swimming beaches: Look for sites with gradual water entry points. A visitor to Hibernia notes, "We had a great site, right on the lake. Could launch our kayaks, fish and swim right from our site! Was a great way to cool off and just enjoy the beautiful water."
Playground availability: Several parks offer play structures. At Hibernia, one family reported, "There was also a small playground that we took my daughter to."
Space between sites: The area varies significantly in campsite privacy. At Hibernia, a camper observed, "Not a campground where it's one on top of each other which is nice... especially with dogs!"
Hookup variability: Pickett RV Park in Blackstone offers full-service sites with 50-amp electrical. "I am a retired major. My wife and I bought an older motorhome, and this location was great to test it out. Bath house is a few blocks way, but for 25 dollars a night. The price was right."
Pad surfaces: Most sites have gravel rather than concrete pads. At North Bend Park, one RVer notes, "The sites are dirt and some need some creative leveling but typically do-able."
Water hose requirements: Plan for longer connections at some parks. A visitor to Hibernia Campground advises, "Site 77 required 75 feet of hose to reach water nozzle. Website said 35' so glad we were prepared."
Limited large rig spaces: While many campgrounds accommodate RVs, not all sites work for bigger units. At Longwood, a camper noted, "Big campground on a lake. Campsites are mostly level, are various sizes and offer various amounts of screening between sites. Look at the photos."
