Paradise Lake Family Campground

We camped here in late June 2020. We had a W/E back in site. We had site 45.  The sites are a little closer than we like, so this will not be a campground we return to. 

There were lots of kids and lots of kid activities. The park is lightly shaded and the WiFi does not reach most camping areas.

Kid Friendly Campground

We arrived during the day just after a rain storm. We tent camped and it was pretty muddy. The sites were nice and private for tent campers.  RVs was a different story. The bathroom was a good walk up the hill so bring your bikes.  We would definitely go back though! 

Nice smaller lake, but we had a great time!

Site unlevel side-to-side 

Pull-thru site too short to leave tow vehicle hitched 

One of the laundry buildings locked the entire 2 days we were here 

Most sites occupied by seasonal campers so many not at their sites during the week 

No privacy from neighbor sites 

Absolutely no TV reception 

2 bars Verizon

Low Water Pressure & WIFI Out of Order

I stay here at least once every summer. Has beautiful pool and lake, playground, arcade, and boat rentals. Fishing, hiking, basketball. Very friendly staff all the time. Close to stores and restaurants but far enough out to not hear any noise. Phone service is superb. Clean shower and restrooms. Hot water. Electric tent sites!!! Has everything I live and will continue to go here as long as I’m in the state of Va. def recommended
