What campers like
Quieter off-season visits: Westmoreland State Park Campground provides a different experience during cooler months. "Went in March 2018 for my birthday, when it was still VERY cold, but had a wonderful time. The beaches and trails seem so much more peaceful and untouched this time of year. Definitely gets windy near the river. Nothing a big pot of camp soup or chili can't help! Bath houses are heated which is amazing," shares RL.
Secluded cabin settings: Wooded locations offer privacy at certain properties. "We are winter residents having spent our first time this past year. We found the new owners and management very accommodating. Lot fee is reasonable. We found it quiet, pet friendly, and wooded off-road location," notes Genie W. about R & D Family Campground.
Lake views: Cabins with water views are highly rated. "We camped lakeside next to Hazel Grove Lake and enjoyed the beautiful view and on one occasion, a beautiful lakeside sunset. Fishing during breaks in the rain was great and watching the Mallard ducks, Canada Geese and Great Blue Herons was enjoyable and very rewarding," reports Dan & Karen M. about their stay at Wilderness Presidential Resort.
What you should know
Cabin furnishing variations: Basic cabins require guests to bring bedding and cooking supplies. "The sites are nice, lake is amazing in the summer time, and the family that runs the place are always helpful. The campground has canoes that can be rented, places to fish, mini golf, and weekly events," explains Sam M.
Reservation timing: Holiday weekends book quickly, often 6+ months in advance. "Just a few miles 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," notes Edward S.
Winter accessibility: Some parks maintain heated facilities year-round. "Bath houses are always SO clean and heated in the winter. So appreciate the recycling bins," shares RL about Pohick Bay Campground. This regional park near Lorton operates throughout winter with additional amenities like trails and disc golf.
Tips for camping with families
Children's activities: Select campgrounds with playgrounds and organized events. "Came in to tent camp 1 night to break up a long drive south, and it happened to be trick or treat night. There were several events during the day for the kiddos that were here. Staff was friendly, our site was clean, fire ring was empty," reports Brian S. about his stay at Fredericksburg-Washington DC KOA.
Beach access considerations: "The campground has a beach, playgrounds, mini golf, hiking, arcade and many other amenities. Very friendly and helpful!" notes Amy R. about Christopher Run Campground. However, another visitor points out: "The beach area is small with a concrete ledge next to the water. It didn't look very safe for small children."
Proximity to attractions: Some locations offer shuttle services to popular destinations. "Just recently stayed here during a weekend getaway to Kings Dominion. Nice and peaceful campground from what I could tell. One convenient option that comes with staying is they have a shuttle service to the amusement park that runs by roughly every 25-30 mins," explains Da'Paul F.
Tips from RVers
Site levelness: Many campgrounds feature uneven terrain. "This is a big campground that caters to boaters on Lake Anna. The sites are good size, but not very level. We did finally get ours squared away. Mostly wooded, with shade," shares Joel R. about his experience at Christopher Run Campground.
Hookup availability: Full utility connections vary by location and site. "Terrain is not flat but our spot was well levelled. Full hook up was oké and our spot was nicly secluded between the trees," notes Werner S. about his stay at Aquia Pines Campground.
Accessibility for large rigs: Not all campgrounds accommodate bigger vehicles. "Some of the sites look pretty tight, but that can be common with a lot of KOA's," notes Scott T., who stayed at Richmond North - Kings Dominion KOA and adds: "We enjoyed a larger pull through lot that faced the woods."
