What to do

Stargazing at dark sky sites: James River State Park, about 25 miles west of Scottsville, offers exceptional night sky viewing. "James River State Park has been named an International Dark Sky Park. This is a wonderful spot for viewing the stars because of the lack of light pollution," notes camper Daryl L.

Fishing at multiple access points: Bear Creek Lake State Park provides both shore and boat fishing opportunities.

What campers like

Specialized cabin accommodations: Charlottesville KOA offers unique lodging options. "This is a nice, clean campground. They recently expanded it, so there are additional sites. Nice walking trail - wide path - has a couple steep hills, very pretty scenery," Jennifer K. explains.

Lakefront cabin sites: Bear Creek Lake State Park features water-view accommodations. "Acorn Loop has lake-front sites that I would highly recommend. Sites 4-12 are the best, with #11 being the best best: it's right on the water but also kind of tucked away a bit," advises camper RL.
